Tbh this rhetoric is really dangerous. If you exaggerate like that on the regular people are unlikely to believe you when it actually happens. They'll think the guy that does want those groups dead has normal opinions and you're going off on one...again.

Yes it's the flip side of the coin to the whole "all gays are pedophile groomers" argument. Can't make these kind of broad sweeping accusations towards a whole group for the behavior of an extreme minority and expect anyone who isn't already firmly in your camp to take you seriously.

It just gives the problematic elements of any group an easy out and a shield as they can hide behind the majority of normal people who aren't that as a way to deflect criticism.

Spoken like they WANT people who aren't in their camp to take you seriously.

Best case scenario, it's positioning themselves as Harry Potter against the Nazis and "you're either with us or you're against us". Worst case, they're openly planning step two in "once someone is trying to kill you, killing them first is justified."

Nope, they don't like Harry Potter anymore. Because his author is apparently a bigot.

That's an unfair misconception. They still love Harry Potter. That's why they care so much about JK Rowling.

It is pretty fun, though, watching their brainmeats sizzle as they try to figure out how to hate Rowling for being a transphobe, while still holding up Potter as the best things ever written.
