to go back to Silence of the Lambs, the backlash against its trans killer of women was so strong that Demme made Philadephia as an act of contrition
(Philadelphia being a film with its own issues but at least a good faith effort to represent queer people to a mainstream, largely straight audience)
and that was 30 years ago
no one gets to be surprised when people are rightly angry with a trans presenting violent killer of woman in goddamn 2020
at the very least Rowling should have seen this coming and got ahead of it with a disclaimer of some kind
