I actually ran into someone claiming that the other day about rowling, and was like "wait what" and I had searched it and got a sense that it was bullshit

as expected, it's that she wanted to correct the record surrounding a minor detail about the holocaust, and those disputing that detail characterized it as "denial," which reasonable people would assume is rhetoric that means "the holocaust never happened" rather than "you're wrong that they targeted trans people first and here's evidence supporting that claim"

a day later, I encounter this yet again:

J.K. Rowling didn’t want to be called a Holocaust denier. That backfired.

The author’s attempts to quiet her critics ended up making the accusations far more viral.

But in the U.S., free speech is heavily protected; claimants must prove not only that a defamatory statement is false, but also that it was disseminated with “malicious intent.”

This allows X users in the U.S. to state their opinions on Rowling’s views openly. And Rowling’s attempts to silence her critics have only encouraged them, and brought accusations of Holocaust denial to a much wider audience.

Streisand actually lost her case against the photographers; they left their photograph up. But even though Rowling got Brown to remove her tweet, she still lost. Now even more people are accusing her of Holocaust denial.
