RE: JK Rowling
I don't get it. Star Trek means a lot to me. But if Gene Roddenberry were alive, and had devoted all his riches and mental effort towards killing, say, The Irish, I would have serious problem supporting his future projects!

I get it's a dumptruck of money, but jeez guys.

The movies were cute!

Giving her money is a deliberate choice.

That sucks ass.
CERTAINLY NOT DEFENDING IT.
the former cuz it reminds these people of the lives they used to live and were forced to abandon to "succeed in life"
and the latter cuz they assume people suffering at an alarming rate 24/7 is just "the way things usually are".
I do not know how people still go "ok but I MYSELF am not killing the gays! I read an op ed that said she doesn't even make money from new sales!"
Guess what, idiot? It was a big part of MY childhood! Yet I had somehow managed to grow out of it LONG before she went full TERF! So what's your excuse? (They don't actually have one)
