2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

MODERATORS
Why are some people so determined to be pieces of shit?
You don't get rich being nice.
Even if you did (like you won the big lottery or something). Being rich turns people into assholes too. Your ego inflates massively.
Theres actually a body of research here, abd its so much fucking worse. Researcher I remember is named piff, look some up; its fucking wild.
She likes the attention. She had it once. But she blew her load and now there's no more creativity. So she gets it in other ways.
What are you going to do about it?
Well...nothing, lol.
And now we know why they think they can get away with it
I'm not from Ireland or the UK, not a consumer for her products, and don't know her personally. What do you propose I do about her shitty behavior?
What exactly do you expect a random Lemmy poster to do about J. K. Rowling?
Pirating her products instead buying them would be a start and in brand.
Why are you assuming the person you were criticizing for letting her get away with this has ever bought a single one of her books or any other Harry Potter products? I haven't. It doesn't interest me. Am I letting her get away with it? Is the only way to not let her get away with it to pirate her books that I wasn't planning to read in the first place?
Guess you need to take the next step and cyberbully her supporters then
Why should I bully anyone? I was severely bullied as a child. No one deserves to be bullied, even if they're a bigot. Two wrongs do not make a right.
Only someone who hasn't experienced much bullying would think that bullying people was the answer to anything.
Bullying is a form of torture. All torture has ever done is breed resentment.
Ok, we can skip that step and start direct action
What direct action against J.K. Rowling am I supposed to take that would make any sort of difference?
I hear piracy is theft so we can pirate her books a billion times and watch her go bankrupt
On the one hand, I'm really glad piracy is not theft.
On the other hand, I would totally do that if it worked.
Pirate her works?
Why bother with it at all? Its so overrated.
