You are telling people not to speak in a way you dislike.
Also, how does anyone ever learn anything if we're not allowed to share our views? You've never had an "oh, I didn't realize" experience? I remember bits of Song of the South from when I was a kid. It was normal. How am I don't to learn that it was problematic if no one is allowed to point it out?
ETA: Specifically as to Rowling, I was looking forward to reading the Harry Potter books to the kid. She's not old enough yet, but soon. But we have a trans family member. It's going to be awhile before she will be old enough to be introduced to them with the proper context to avoid developing a relationship with Rowling that she may later regret. That probably means I won't wind up reading them to her at all (up to her whether she decides to read them herself later on). Poor JK!
