I decided I didn't care what else she had to say outside of the books after the history of magical North America thing, and having seen her involve herself in several kerfluffles of late, I'm thinking that was a good decision. (This latest foray into talking about trans people isn't her first. I honestly don't get why she has such a bug up her butt about it.)
I still like the books. I just ignore JKR. (I skipped the Fantastic Beasts films altogether.) I also go with what's in my head when what's in hers is...dubious.
That's just it - you know you don't understand it. I trust that if you were going to set a story in North America, you'd actually do the reading. She didn't make even a cursory attempt, and it shows - but she still thought it was ok to put that out there.
Aw. :( I guess I shouldn't be surprised that's happening, but it's still disappointing. Particularly since the local places probably had more character and charm.
