Using J.K. Rowling as a case study of Western "cancel culture," Vladimir Putin likened his country's present demonization by the West to that of what he thinks Rowling is being subjected to for her views of the LGBTQ community.

Obviously, the children's book author, on the other hand, is not a fan of this analogy.

It was evident from Rowling's response that she did not want to be associated with the invading nation of Russia, which she blasted in a series of nasty tweets.

During a recent speech on Russian television, Putin said that the West was "trying to cancel" Russia's position. The interview was dubbed and televised by Sky News after comparing the Russian invasion of Ukraine to a "cultural war." In proving his point, Putin somehow expressed his support for Rowling, who has been the victim of the cancel culture on a number of occasions.

It was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin that the fantasy novelist had been terminated "just because she didn't satisfy the demands of gender rights."

Rowling's provocative remarks about trans rights have received a lot of attention, but few people would relate them to the ongoing conflict between two countries.

"They are now trying to cancel our country. I'm talking about the progressive discrimination of everything to do with Russia," Putin said, before going on to say that Russia's artists have been the target of a "progressive discrimination."

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling does not appreciate being dragged to Putin's defense of his actions. She said she would not like not to be linked to the invading Russian army that is already slaughtering hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians.

"Critiques of Western cancel culture are possibly not best made by those currently slaughtering civilians for the crime of resistance, or who jail and poison their critics. I stand with Ukraine," Rowling wrote in a tweet, sharing a BBC News article featuring Putin critic Alexei Navalny.

An additional tweet from the children's book author said that she will "personally match" all donations made to Lumos' $1.3 million emergency Ukrainian relief effort. Founded to aid children confined to orphanages and other facilities in war-torn Ukraine, the charity's mission is to support children everywhere.

Numerous women and children have already fled the nation in search of safety, which is quite elusive in a time of war.
