Imagine what good things could be done with the money instead of using it for stuff that's non of her business. The older they get, the more conservative they turn out to be - sad for someone who brought a wonderful world to life once...

Ugh. What a despicable person. I was thinking about pirating her shitty TV show, but i don't think i will. They probably base popularity, among other things, on torrents. I don't want her to have any popularity. She's a really gross person :/

Harry Potter defined so much of my young life. I’m confused as to if Rowling has always been this way, or if something changed. I first found out about this kind of behavior around 10 years ago

My experience reading the Sinfest comic taught me that people start out as feminists (believe in the equality of the sexes) then turn to radical feminists (believe that women are superior to men), which causes them to see Trans women as men realizing the truth and trying to stay in the superior sex, and trans men as women being tricked by doctors (terfs).

This leads to both demonization of sex work (swerfs) and distrust in doctors in general (anti-vax), and finally leading to the distrust in all science and fact and full blown narcissim.

It's this actually new? Wasn't it already known that she did that?

Aside from hurting Trans people, these things hurt women both those afab or not, and given the numbers of each group they end up hurting way, way, way more cisgender women. So every opportunity, every interview with Rowling, every comment on a tweet to her should be "What happened that made you hate women this much?".

I mean it's sad that she can't love the trans, but if that was just a prrsonal dislike, ok everyone has barely rational likes and dislikes, can't be helped. But to make that public, and then to go to these lengths, to sacrifice the safety of all women on the altar of that hate and fear, that is truly sick and sickening.

So the question is "JO, WHY DO YOU HATE WOMEN???"

Because because of her hate mongering, women are getting in trouble and often beat up for going to the bathroom, get humiliated by having to "prove" they're "real" women to pushy agressive bigots. I fully expect one day to lose my job and end up in jail for beating up some such asshole who thinks they should humiliate my wife or daughters that way.

The greatest achievement of gender critical ideology is getting women to voluntarily give men jurisdiction to police their bodies and presentation. To the Rowlings and Parkers, any number of cisgender women hurt by their ideology is worth it in their quest of erasing trans people out of public life.

And for filler treatments apparently.

I was one of those fanboys. Now I don't think im even gonna pirate the show. I don't want her to have THOSE numbers either. I also haven't bothered past the second fantastic beasts even to just see how bad it is. I just......don't fucking care after the second movie lol

I saw this getting upvotes in a conservative comm. Makes me sick.

In this comm it feels like actual news, being notified of things that happen in the world. Upvoting it feels like a "more people should know that this is happening" kinda thing.

But in a comm dedicated to the GQP? There it feels like an upvote is a sign of approval or agreement.

This is just sad. What could have made JKR use her wealth in such an unkind way?

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 5 days ago

she seems to have been harboring these feeling since she before she wrote harry potter, there are many people attributing her books to transphobia and antisemitism in a subltle way.
