The BBC has defended its nomination of Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who offended many with her comments on transgender people. The British public broadcaster said offense is the “price of free speech.”

        I think trolls are coming to ancient posts because they don’t expect us to notice. Another possible explanation is these people simply don’t understand that the posts are old as hell, and decide to throw in their two cents.

        regardless, pretty much all of it I’ve seen is people from other instances (most common I’ve seen is lemmy.world) who have something contrarian to say. Some weird shit.
