'Harry Potter' Author JK Rowling Platforms Pro-Censorship Lobby NCOSE

'Harry Potter' Author JK Rowling Platforms Pro-Censorship Lobby NCOSE

LONDON — “Harry Potter” author and anti-trans activist J.K. Rowling last weekend shared a tweet from religiously motivated anti-porn lobby NCOSE and endorsed the pro-censorship organization’s annual corporate-shaming “Dirty Dozen” campaign.

Rowling's Oct. 1 tweet was part of a thread in which the publicly transphobic multimillionaire lambasted the platform Discord for hosting “graphic content” and failing to verify users' ages. To illustrate her point, Rowling shared a screen capture of an NCOSE list of alleged “incidents arising out of adult contact with minors on Discord,” which she credited “as reported by the National Center on Sexual Exploitation.”

Founded in 1961, NCOSE — formerly known as Morality in Media — has advocated for over six decades in the U.S. for state and corporate censorship of books and other media featuring any sexual content.

Rowling added, “In 2021, the NCOSE put Discord on its Dirty Dozen List, an annual campaign naming entities that profit from and facilitate sexual exploitation.”

NCOSE has, in various iterations of its annual “Dirty Dozen” list, targeted every major social media platform — including Twitter, one of Rowling’s preferred channels for communicating with her followers and readers. The organization has also included mainstream publication Sports Illustrated as well as the state of Nevada, which it condemns for not criminalizing sex workers.

A Fantasy Novelist Turned Anti-Trans Crusader

Rowling’s endorsement of the U.S.’s leading anti-porn lobby — which has seen its funding skyrocket in recent years — comes in the middle of an ongoing crusade by the fantasy novelist against the rights of trans people in the U.K. and in Scotland in particular.

This week, as demonstrators gathered outside the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh to pressure First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to backtrack on her proposal to make accurate gender recognition a “less degrading, intrusive and traumatic” process, children's literature and TERF icon Rowling supported the protest by tweeting a picture of herself wearing a T-shirt calling Sturgeon a “destroyer of women's rights,” the BBC reported.
