What a rotten bitch
Piece of shit author continues being a piece of shit. More news at 11.
It's good to publicly remember every now and then. Plenty of people don't know that she's a raging transphobe, and if even one of them recently joined lemmy and sees this post and is convinced to no longer buy her work, then that makes this post worth it, imo.
Yeah, good point

What an ugly human being
It amazes me how some people just refuse to put their money to anything actually useful.
If I had money, I promise I'd do something useful with it. Like putting up a shed in my garden.

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.

People tend to get more conservative the wealthier they get.
So money happened to her.
Yeah, I never understood that one. I am not obscenely wealthy, but I've gone the opposite direction. I make combined over 200k between myself and my wife, and im more left leaning than I think I've ever been at any point in my life.
Well, to put it bluntly, 200k is nice, but it's not the wealth they are taking about.

It’s always the people you most expect.
Fucking god, she’s still doing this shit? She’s going to turn her franchise into another Tesla.
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.
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 :/
I heard a YouTuber refer to her as Jeepers Kreepers Rowling recently, and it makes me giggle. What an awful woman.

the thing i don't get is why people are focused on the transgender community so much?
IMO its always about scapegoating, you need to find a minority which is prevelant enough for people to have encountered, but not too many that they're in everyone's family or work or friend circle - and that won't have significant civic or voting power.
Post-ww2, ethnic divisions are more taboo, gay rights are too broadly popular to pursue, but trans people are the conservatives best punching down opportunity, while trying to appeal to people on the fence by being 'virtuous' and 'saving the kids'.

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...
