Or Katherine Parkinson doesn't really know the full Rowling, and just thinks she defended single sex spaces and women's sport. Lots of people have that view of Rowling, including some actors, no doubt.

I'm not at the sharp end, so easy for me to say, but I'd be wary of being too critical of her.

That's probably closer to what I meant. I wouldn't have thought many actors know the full depth of their writers' beliefs and unless I'm mistaken the IT Crowd ended well before Linehan went Full Linehan.

Yeah, I think the IT Crowd is a complete red herring.

I can see why people would be disappointed by Parkinson's attitude, and want to put it to keep putting it to her that her attitude isn't helpful, but maybe avoid the implication she's a concentration camp guard. I should repeat I'm not at the sharp end, so it's easy for me to be "generous" like this.
