The Onion Is Going Nuclear Against J.K. Rowling And Anti-Trans Rhetoric

In the following days, the Onion published several more stories targeting Rowling’s anti-trans rhetoric, including “Evangelical Leaders Announce J.K. Rowling Finally Bigoted Enough That It’s Okay For Kids To Read About Witchcraft” and “Conservatives Defend Their Anti-Trans Bigotry.”

One article, “What To Know About ‘Hogwarts Legacy,’” also targeted the antisemitic tropes in Hogwarts Legacy, a video game released in 2023. A central plot arc in the game revolves around crushing a rebellion of oppressed “Gringotts goblins,” the hook-nosed bank workers in Rowling’s wizarding world that align with offensive antisemitic tropes.
