The new ad campaign from the New York times by Droga5 with Becky, Lianna, Vera, Yassmin, and Jordan, has come under fire for "chilling" line referring to JK Rowling. The line is in Lianna's ad, where it reads in full:
Lianna is a harmony of flavors. A week in crossword land. Taking a swipe at love, or sex, or something. Breaking the binary. The magic of numbers. The big impact of a small hobby. Queer love in color. Heritage in rich hues. What does horror taste like? Imagining Harry Potter without its creator. Alter egos that bark. The joy of getting lost. Seduced by charisma. Battling over pleasure. Fighting bias in tech. How to talk through the hard stuff.
Rowlings expanded on her views on sex and gender issues in a blog post, and garnered even more threats.
Many of the replies were horrified that a campaign for "independent journalism" is effectively leading more abuse to Rowling's door. Here are a few.
That first still is pretty violent. How on earth does NYT think erasing a woman isn't fundamentally violent, esp in a work full of VAWG and at a time of inflamed feeling around this whole subject. It's the same old deep misogyny under the veil of progressiveness.

@nytimes nothing like writing powerful, successful women out of history and stealing their creation. So progressive! (sarcasm)
