J. K. Rowling is a transphobe, a bigot and a fascist.

The first two yes, but is she actually a fascist? Outside of her being a terf I think the rest of her political views are supposed to be pretty left leaning and anti-authoritarian.

Regardless I think enough other people were more directly involved in this game that people should be free to play it guilt free if they want to.

Identifying an out-group by an immutable attribute of their person, and then railing against them as inherently inferior is fascist behaviour.

Rowling is some white trash but it seems everything is fascist ~~nowadays~~ this word lost its meaning altogether

fascist fascist nazi... doesn't bring anything to mind anymore. Could be a brand of orange juice at this point or some children snacks

Looks like it was already a problem in 1944 as Orwell writes:

It will be seen that, as used, the word ‘Fascism’ is almost entirely meaningless. In conversation, of course, it is used even more wildly than in print. I have heard it applied to farmers, shopkeepers, Social Credit, corporal punishment, fox-hunting, bull-fighting, the 1922 Committee, the 1941 Committee, Kipling, Gandhi, Chiang Kai-Shek, homosexuality, Priestley’s broadcasts, Youth Hostels, astrology, women, dogs and I do not know what else.

Honestly it is unfortunate that most internet commenters are nearly illiterate and aren't able to come up with more precise adjectives
