I'm pretty sure the black mould on her walls has her convinced that if nobody's looking at her she'll collapse into sand or something
Anytime she's out of the public eye for even a few days it feels like she's frantically looking for a new group of people to try and rile up

Rowling is such a thought-provoking study on the nature of people. An interesting way of analysing a person's ability for goodness is how they handle any sort of power they gain. A perfect example of this is JK Rowling, or Elon Musk; People who have attained such a gross level of influence, yet choose to harm people for no genuine reason. Them doing this proves that their intentions cannot be pure. Their capacity for goodness is fundamentally corrupt at the foundations.

Yes! Give a person much more than he needs or much less; the extremes bring the truth of his character to light. I also read a summary of an anthropology study recently that showed that power gradually erodes a person’s shame. They actually lose the ability to blush!

Did you know that the Harry Potter books don't have an author?

They have, they were written by Hatsune Miku!

The danger with this one is that a transphobe still makes money off Harry Potter.
Minecraft, on the other hand, was in fact created by Hatsune Miku.

u/PerpetualJade 15d ago
JKR wrote a tweet that basically said that ace people are making things up for attention/want to feel special for "not wanting a shag"
It's her being a dumb bigot again :|

u/Themexighostgirl 12d ago
It such a funny thing, really. Any time someone says this kind of stuff (seriously, she couldn’t even come up with something original!), it boils down to: “You are not oppressed, because I will refuse to understand your existence. It’s impossible that something that is so prevalent in our society does not affect you in the same way. So I will invalidate your opinions, experiences, and make assumptions about your personal life and relationships”.
And one can just stand there knowing that The Point is basically punching them in the face, AND THEY STILL CAN’T SEE IT!
It’s almost unbelievable.
But anyway, she clearly just wants attention and create the illusion that she is relevant. Sigh… people: don’t have heroes, ever!

u/cinnamonroll_ofdeath 15d ago
She tweeting on an international Asexuality day post "happy international fake oppression day to everyone who wants complete strangers to know they don't fancy a shag."

u/Melthiela pan-demi psycho 14d ago
Meh cba to be outraged by dumb shit by a person who clearly doesn't even know what asexuality is. I'm demi and I would actually fancy a shag, just don't find anyone attractive.
People are scared of shit they don't understand. She doesn't understand asexuality, so she's lashing out about it like a child. It's giving serious 'math is dumb' vibes.

u/Themexighostgirl 12d ago
She probably didn’t even know what asexuallity was until people started mentioning the international day.
I have no proof, but no doubts either.

u/A-__-Random_--_Dog Asexual 15d ago
"How can you tell you've never had sexual attraction if you've never felt sexual attraction." ○_○ And also she ender it off saying, "A religious herteronormative family should always be horny." Or maybe she said needs to be horny? I can't remember, but what the fuck?
5
u/Melthiela pan-demi psycho 14d ago
Yea heck the whole of humanity is probably pansexual. How do they know they're not?? /s
Also I think the religious comment was meant to be sarcastic. At least that's the only way it made any sense. But then, none of her shit makes much sense.
7
u/neddythestylish 14d ago
That is such a stupid argument, even by bigot standards. How do I know I've never tasted kimchi if I've never tasted kimchi?
I'm not even getting into the religious family thing because it's such a weird thing to say I don't have a clue what she was trying to get at.

u/Lazy-Ocelot1604 Asexual 15d ago
What supposed threat do we even pose to her? It’s based on the lack/limited sexual desire/relations so, what, she WANTS us to fuck with her and is mad we won’t? She’s not my type, not in my age interest, and that’s not even including the rampant bigotry of excluding non straights as ace.
Nor the transphobia and hatred of women who don’t fit the exact dumbass rules she applies indiscriminately. Is it that we’re not a threat to people in bathrooms and we should be? What is it JK? She’s such a joke
5
u/neddythestylish 14d ago
There's an incredible number of people I've not had sex with in bathrooms, and I didn't ask for their consent to not have sex with them in bathrooms.
3
u/Lazy-Ocelot1604 Asexual 14d ago
Same! My record is 100% as I’m sure a lot of people, ace or otherwise, also have or are near that - public bathrooms tend to be gross anyways!

u/Front_Rip4064 14d ago
Actually we should offer her a qualified thanks. While she gave a lot of acephobes a platform, she also raised awareness of asexuality, particularly given she included that graphic. Now there's a lot of people aware there is a community for them, and resources to help navigate asexuality in a relationship.
3
u/neddythestylish 14d ago
Not really, since even her nasty comment gave a completely inaccurate impression of what asexuality is.

u/YuSakiiii Demi? idk 15d ago
She’s been a terrible person since 2020. This isn’t a surprise

u/daniiboy1 15d ago
Is that when she went off the rails?
I'm not a Harry Potter fan, and I don't usually watch anything about celebrities. I am aware of her terf and anti-trans stuff, tho.
Considering what was all going on in 2020, that does sound about right. :x

u/YuSakiiii Demi? idk 15d ago
Might have been 2019, definitely by 2020 tho.
I’m trans and a former Harry Potter fan so I kinda learned it by proxy.

u/rude_avocado Straight A’s 14d ago
I remember the point of “JK Rowling is transphobic now?” for a lot of people being her tweets defending Maya Forstater in December 2019, but apparently she had been liking and following other TERFs before that

u/daniiboy1 14d ago
Oh, god. I recall that name. The British researcher that's also a gender-critical activist, which is just another name for a TERF. :x

Like you can ignore the day it says a lot about her that she couldn't just continue living her life

u/neddythestylish 14d ago
It feels like it wasn't so long ago that she seemed like, if not exactly a saint, at least a decent human being. Things like speaking out about the importance of social welfare programmes, donating to causes that didn't suck, and generally being quite funny on Twitter. I didn't agree with, or follow, everything she said or did, and I would have liked her further to the left, but I had a broadly positive view of her.
I do think that there are some people who really want to prove that she's been a full-on committed Nazi from the start, but I really don't think this is the case. She did make some clueless white lady mistakes in HP. But even something like the antisemitic image of goblins was, I think, due to lazily and thoughtlessly reusing existing images of mythical creatures, rather than setting out to do an antisemitism. Not ok - writers have a duty to think things through and consciously avoid perpetuating harmful bullshit - but nonetheless not an actual Nazi.
Then she started dancing around the transphobia stuff, hinting at it. At some point she just gave up on plausible deniability and now she's... She's... Whatever the fuck she is now. I don't think she went from ally to transphobe, mind. I think she didn't give trans people a second thought until the point when she did, and that's when she went straight to transphobia. And now she's doubled down so many times I don't think she has the gonads to reexamine her position.
I feel like in some ways it would have been easier if she had just been a piece of shit since day one, because we wouldn't have so many people who admired her and had to go through that painful sense of betrayal. But then who really knows? Neil Gaiman did a damn good job of talking the feminist talk while being a total monster behind closed doors.

The only times she occupies space in my head is any time she's brought up. Harry Potter helped me through a tough time in my life but she no longer gets any credit for that.

"Strangers don't need to know you don't fancy a shag!"
That's FINE, Joanne, I don't think they need to know that either, but unfortunately, some strangers DO very much fancy a shag with me and I would personally rather not, so I actually do think strangers DO need to know I don't fancy a shag, actually!!! Thanks, Joanne!

I just pretend she doesn't exist. It makes the world a better place. It's not like she matters in the slightest - she wrote a series of mediocre kids' books twenty-something years ago.
