JK Umbridge is going after other queer folks now too.

Such a mean person

There must be a name for the multiplier effect on the human psyche of going down hate rabbit holes.

"The X Effect" or something.

I guess that thing you mentioned on OS when someone says or does something which attracts a public backlash, prompting them to double down and harden their attitude as a defensive position. Seems to be what's happened here.

Gl!nner the most obvious example? Got some mild criticism (which he initially took well) over that IT Crowd episode then...

dorianlynskey.bsky.social•53 days ago

I think there’s a lot more to it

mjcycle.bsky.social•53 days ago

Oh definitely, but was that the initial trigger?

dorianlynskey.bsky.social•53 days ago

I think that’s a neat narrative but there must have been underlying prejudice too. Plenty of people can take criticism and move on

Yet more evidence that being rich doesn't make you happy. She has so much money, she could have done anything she wanted today, but this is how she chooses to spend her time...

Have you done an Origin Story on JKR & her journey to being, well, a horrendous human being?

denzilladeblanc.bsky.social•53 days ago

Ooh: I'm in for this!

Everlasting proof that some people end up with so few friends they sit and absorb rubbish until they are lost and cruel.

migginsoldepieshop.bsky.social•53 days ago

JK Growling...by the look of it.

dorianlynskey.bsky.social•53 days ago

She has friends but only ones whose hobby is also hate

londondiscuss.bsky.social•53 days ago

They are a tribe.

Cult

Probably a stupid question, but as she’s on the other place, not on Bluesky, why amplify her?

dorianlynskey.bsky.social•53 days ago

Please don’t police other people’s posting. You can choose to not follow me or even block me if you like

gingextonic.bsky.social•53 days ago

Sorry. It was a genuine question with no ill will attached. I really like your work am a long time subscriber to Origin Story, and I am taken aback. I really didn’t mean any harm.

dorianlynskey.bsky.social•53 days ago

Sorry likewise. To answer your question, many people my age still think JKR is horribly maligned and not bigoted so occasionally I need to highlight what she says

taxon-rascal.bsky.social•53 days ago

She’d rather some people felt uncomfortable being themselves and happy in their own skins.

billypilgrim65.bsky.social•53 days ago

It's a feature of hating specific groups of people is it never contains itself to that *one* specific group. It can't be satisfied, spills over, and searches for new groups to target.

timeforheroes.bsky.social•53 days ago

She's a real piece of shit. Bitter old woman sitting on a billion quid and still miserable as sin.

adrian-of-oceania.bsky.social•53 days ago

At this stage I think I'd be able to respect someone who held just one nutty, bigoted or conspiratorial belief and didn't let it metastasize.

sloanelysbeth.bsky.social•53 days ago

i'll never get over all the ppl who pretend she doesn't have a problem with lgbt+ ppl.

the gaslighting around her views is absurd.

lozflowers.bsky.social•53 days ago

Now that they've either got what they want wrt transpeople the marriage of convenience between the het and homo TERFs will probably break down. It's time to discuss whether we should keep gay marriage in this country you see, or lesbians in public life y'see.

Yeah, at this point anyone who's not only still on Twitter/X, but using it to post deeply Musky "othering" tweets like this is telling you exactly who they've decided to be.
