Yeah, she's trash.

What a weirdo

She enjoys a good interweb spat doesn't she.

These people have always been like this, most of us just weren't the group getting shit on so we never learned what they were like behind closed doors.

Now they're being coddled enough to straight up throw those doors wide open.

Eat the rich continues to have no downsides.

Not even subtle with it anymore

She's probably always felt that way

Mask ain't just off, it's thrown right to the ground and getting stomped on.

Her unfortunate heel-turn in recent years has been somewhat fascinating to experience.

Imagine going from a beloved children's book author to a vile advocate for bigotry.

I hate the way they weaponize feminism (or more accurately a very twisted pseudofeminism) to be transphobic pieces of shit.

Yet there's going to still be people who deny that she's anti-trans.

Chuds: "She just has legitimate concerns and isn't bending to the hivemind that you need to be 100% for or against something"

Very much so. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt and treat it as genuine ignorance if possible, so statements like these really help shut down people dancing around their words with allusion and inference, or misinterpretation.

JK Rowling tweeted calmly

A sane person: "Most trans women are not rapists"

JKR: "It must be nice to live in your little bubble of ignorance."

TERF IS A SLUR YOU JUST HATE WOMEN

I just don't get the hatred for the Trans community. They are just people trying to live their lives. That's literally it.

Imagine being a billionaire and then making it your life goal to be a piece of shit.

Seems like that's most billionaires.

Not even hiding it now. Just calling all trans women rapists.

Pure scum. My nephews love HP as well sadly. But not much I can really do about that as their dad doesn't care about her beliefs. My sister doesn't think much of rowling at least though.

She's a miserable old hag that's gonna die knowing that despite all the shit she's spread, trans people will be more accepted in society than ever before

Money really can't buy you happiness

This gal has made entire personality into hating transgenders.

It's bizarre.

you know, the creepiest/most dangerous thing about her is that she's not some grifter just trying to make some bank off of rage, she genuinely believes she's helping women like this

Can we make a Harry Potter anime to spite her?

Hogwarts Legacy Incorporated LGBT options and a trans character to spite her. The community is doing a pretty good job of separating her from HP universe.

I want my fucking childhood back from this bitch.

One of the few relatively fond memories I had growing up, and now I can't even look back on that without being reminded that she's now a transphobic pariah who just gets more and more hated with time, and wanting to smash my head on a fucking wall.

Fuck this bitch, just fuck everything about her at this point

Try to separate what it meant to you as a kid and your love of the story from what she became when you became an adult

Or something like that

It's hard to do when she insists on making herself look as awful as possible every time she says anything at all.

Unless it's a legally-safe knockoff, then not without putting more money in her pocket.

You can take the women out of the council estate but you cant take the council estate out of the women.

This is what having far too much time and money and a life time of being surrounded by sycophants affords you.

JKR is also saying anyone who supports trans rights are rapist rights advocates.

Absolutely disgusting to target vulnerable and marginalized minorities and our allies for basic human rights.

What is this classist bullshit?

Be quiet.

But she wasn't vocal about it like this when you were a kid reading the stories. You probably didn't know much about her at all; just the story. And the story isn't her. What it meant to you isn't her. Keep the story and the memories; they aren't her

I hope that made sense

JK Rowling is so rotten to the bone that not even Hannibal Lecter would be interested.

Except that said stories also have a bunch of dumb problematic stuff now that people are more scrutinizing of her.

You start to consider that there were probably a lot of really good young adult books that got buried by her series' runaway popularity, and were probably written by decent people to boot.

Link so I know it's true and can see the Internet collide on her

I mean if nothing else, JK Rowling being a piece of shit should be a gateway to checking out other works that HP eclipsed, and realizing that she wasn't shit to begin with.

Terry Pratchett is a good place to start

Pratchett was a far better writer than Rowling.

IB4: "different opinion" nonsense

And Rowling probably wonders why the movie cast has nothing to do with her. Shit like this is why.

Why couldn't younger me have read any of those other good authors instead?

Why did that fucking asshole have to leave me fucking hating myself every time this bitch makes headlines again?

Younger me needs his fucking face smashed on a brick wall. Repeatedly, until he can't fucking read anything.

Calm down? How were you supposed to know? What's the point of blaming yourself now?

You're punishing yourself for something that someone else has done.

You, like millions of others, enjoyed some YA fantasy books when you were younger. That's all there is to it.

It is merely the emboldenment of having Trump in office. Once he showed up many of the previously underground neo-Nazi movements popped out as being flagrantly racist/sexist was no longer a thing that instantly caused you societal issues around the world. With this increased reach people on the fence, of which Rowling is the easy example to point to, where their overall views were highly scummy but they still felt that they needed to hold appearances started to waver until the entire thig broke and they just went full mask-off. That is when Rowling started hanging around with Nazis, funding Nazi movements, etc. and it feels like there was such an extreme slide recently in part because most of the stuff prior to this were things that were locked behind not being in the US and thus the average person from the US was unlikely to hear about it. With Twitter becoming so infested that people can show off their Nazi tattoos with no repercussions it is just the follow-up to what was happening before and now even the average American is able to come across the JKR dreck.
