I think it starts with hating herself & having cognitive dissonance about it.
The more she's in denial about her internalized misogyny & unresolved issues as an abuse survivor, the nastier she gets to marginalized people who transcend past harms w courage to be themselves against social expectation?
I read the first four HP books. Never bothered to read the last two because her mental damage had become apparent to me by then. Stir in hateful and toxic, and uh... no thanks.
Honestly, I haven't read one in over 20-almost 30 years, only as each one was published. Never re-read them either, don't much remember the plots or details. Evidently, they left a lasting impression, lol.
What a huge disappointment this was for me. I thought that she was a very creative & imaginative person. When I found out how homophobic & negative she was towards other humans it ruined the fact the I have the Harry Potter series all in first edition. My plan was to get them signed but nevermind.
would love to do this... but there is this thing called social media and their algorithms which are pushing there sound bites to a million ears each and every moment... It's like screaming into a storm, sadly!
I loved the Harry Potter series. I read them because my niece wasn’t allowed - I finally convinced her parents that they were tame. Then Jo opened her mouth about LGBTQ and ruined her legacy.
She’s made me regret ever reading her books or watching the movies. She’s so hateful, angry, and unhinged. I though Slytherin was fictional. I now think she’s from that group.
I refuse to buy the books or rewatch the movies, or do anything else that might might support Rowling, financially or otherwise. She's a vile creature.
I just can’t with her. I knew there was a reason why my soul never really wanted to read her books. And she literally writes things that I read, but for some reason, I couldn’t read her.
She’s a parasite, picking at the lives of others, with no thought of the hatred within that’s eaten her alive, like Trump and Stephen Miller, Bannon Trumps entire family.
So this means you’ll all stop going to her theme parks, and buying her books, and movies, and video games and merchandise and boycott her new tv show everything else to not support this monster right? …right?
Frankly, yes, I have done that. I have stopped reading her books, I don't re-watch the movies, I own none of the merch, and I didn't even know she has a tv show. And I was a big supporter of the books because kids got excited about reading again. Now, I won't even check one out of the library.
Thanks for doing your proper part. I agree that what will suck most is the kids excitedly reading but there’s a billion other books not YET banned. They’ll find something. And yeah there’s a new tv show in the works and it’s gonna make her millions more, sadly Cause most everyone else won’t stop
Indépendamment du geste qu'on lui reproche, son regard dans cette photo me fait entrevoir la profondeur ou l'immensité de son humanité. Je sais que ça doit gâcher ce commentaire senti, mais je ne trouve pas d'autre façon de dire: je vois en elle, un transformer debout devant nous contre l'adversité.
I cannot fathom being angry about asexual people. It's one thing to fabricate a narrative about gender-diverse folks wanting to have sex with children, but how on earth do you get pissed off at someone who doesn't want to have sex with *anyone*??
I used to feel bad about it, but now I kind of revel in being incomprehensible to a certain type of allosexual. We're too much for their little brains to handle 🤣 makes me feel powerful and mysterious. We're beyond them.
Yes! As I get older (and I'm pretty old), I get great satisfaction from refusing to nod along and pretend that allosexuality makes any damn sense to me.
Love that! As a 30-something ace it would have meant a lot to me growing up to see someone older in my life being unapologetically ace. It still would. You never know who you're helping feel at home in the world by just being yourself!
Thanks. I was 40 before I ever heard the word asexual. It was a revelation to me, though wholly coming to terms with it took quite a long time. 40 is pretty late to start being comfortable in one's own skin, and I'm so glad people are finding out earlier in life.
That's a false interpretation of asexuality anyways. It's a lack of sexual attraction, not always a lack of interest in sex. Some asexuals participate, and some don't. Even if you aren't hungry for the donut, you can still enjoy it.
Besides abuse is about power over victims. So she's wrong a lot.
Exactly. For me, asexuality is just "don't want other ppl touching me". I'm horny af but touch repulsed and just prefer being alone (introvert). I tried sex and found it awkward and uncomfortable. It's not an illness. It's a lifestyle choice.
That mold in her house is really whispering stupid things to her. As someone one in the ace community, she should mind her own business instead of channeling Delores Umbridge.
And her books really weren't that great, if you enjoyed 'em good, but they lost the magic, so to speak, real fast for me. She's not special, she's not important, she's just hateful mean, and very lucky
Why is it that some of the richest people on the planet become obsessed with sex and gender. If they aren't busy having perverted sex with anything that's got a plus, they are busy having gender issues with people they don't even know.
I'm actually a little ashamed we named our dogs after her characters, but then I remember that fiction and be good even written by shitty people. Oh, and my dogs don't care.
As soon as I posted I had the same thought. She has that condescending, fake-polite attitude, and the mindset that those who oppose her must be punished until they obey.
i would have so much respect for John Lithgow if he decided to quit the new HP franchise as Dumbledore. The stink is gonna last for anyone who participates.
i can't believe we are stuck with like 10 fucking years of a new HP HBO show...... like, can't we just launch that entire IP into outer space on Elon's shitty rocket? The brand is SO POISONED it's just absolutely putrid
What I find absurd about Rowling is how someone with so much wealth can be so petty. Kindness is easier than hatred. But also let's not forget that many faiths advocate for this type of hatred. These aren't her ideas, these are our 'judeo-christian values' at work here. Love is all folks.
While she was working on the Harry Pitter series, she was not so toxic. She should write more Potter books, I think and let people be. She doesn’t have to like them or be a fan, just let them be.
Why is she so obsessed with genitals? She has opinions about which you have, which you should have, and how you choose to use or not use them. Kind of a weirdo if you ask me.
What is wrong with her? All she had to do to keep the goodwill of the majority of readers was to shut her cakehole about things that have nothing to do with her. Now she's set her rep on fire and instead of trying to put it out, she pours gasoline on it. That's a bad psychopathy right there.
Yeah, that's the bit that gets me, they hate porn, and the idea of people having sex outside of marriage (or for pleasure) repulses them.
Yet they meet someone who has little-to-no interest in either, and they still complain that something is wrong with them.
Well, I guess good news to find out that she now has two reasons to hate me: being nonbinary and demisexual. Both terrible and confusing reasons to hate someone, but I'm glad it's more than just a single reason 😂😂
Loved the books. I especially loved how some of the least likely candidates turned into true hero's. So many kids were given hope by it.Sad the movie left out the scene where Harry says goodbye to his awful cousin and the boys feel close to regret. Thought she had a teachers heart. I guess not.😥
These people have such weak and limited imaginations. Is it really that hard to contemplate that other human beings have sexual proclivities that differ from yours, JK?
Yeah, you are so tolerant, so inclusive. If you act like this, why others should act differently. E.g. The power of personal example. Congrats! You're an aggressive person, advocating for inclusion and diversity. Lgtbq+ community looks like MAGA, but leftist. Same aggressivity, same neuron. 🎉
The tolerant left is another department, I'm in the "I'll crawl into your face if you're a fascist, intolerant, bigoted piece of shit"-department. This is my personal example.
Who claimed asexual people are oppressed? It's just an awareness day.
This is what comes of "standing" with and listening to ignorantly hateful people: casually absorbing & repeating their disinfo & prejudice as if it were factual. Rowling *constantly* spreads false info through misplaced outrage.
OTOH *anyone* who doesn't fit a narrowly acceptable identity in an increasingly fascist society is oppressed to some degree. Having popular bigots like JKR focus her hatred on any group only accelerates the process by which they're endangered.
Yet she keep finding new groups to turn people against!
Maybe, it seemed angry to me. And she is angry a lot. Maybe she should get upset about national foot day which is due this month. It’s all just silly crap.
Studies show that 1/3 people in the UK believe asexuality can be cured. Many ace people have to worry about doctors trying to push conversion therapy onto them. Or you can look at the way US leaders have spoke against “sexless marriages”. There’s a lot going against the ace community right now.
To someone like me who grew up reading the books from age 8, they have a lot of nostalgia value. But yeah, objectively speaking there are better quality fiction books out there and WAY higher quality authors to support monetarily.
She succeeded largely due to a lack of competition at the time. If the books came out today she'd be lucky to be considered a mediocre Rick Riordan rip off.
she only succeeded because they dropped the ball on Pratchett. if they hadn't gotten cold feet when it came to doing proper big budget adaptations, both her and the twilight books would have just been written off as poor cash grabs.
Well Rick Riordan wouldn't have been as successful without Harry Potter opening that market and helping those first. Fuck JK as a person, but that's just wrong
Jesus fuck. Now she's planning on forcing ppl who just aren't attracted sexually to anyone, to what... fake that? Be raped for her benefit?? How about get your filthy nose out of other ppl's sex lives you wingnut pervert? How about that.
The second she could afford a pot to piss in, she turned into a giant ass.
Since she's so offended by asexuals having a random day, everyone remember to send her congrats next year on her 'day' - March 26 is Dumb Bitch Day. Pass it on.

Why the hell does she care?
Her claim that Dumbledore is gay is disingenuous given she hates the community.
The more she's in denial about her internalized misogyny & unresolved issues as an abuse survivor, the nastier she gets to marginalized people who transcend past harms w courage to be themselves against social expectation?
they LITERALLY DO NOTHING
I saw a fairly well-researched and straightforwardly put video essentially breaking down the inherent transphobia/classism/antisemitism/racism in HP.
Haven’t read them myself but like, receipts looked good.
Unfortunately the people calling it out at the time were told to f off, it's not that deep.
She wrote some books that people liked.
She isn't anyone, not a guru, not a leader, not a prophet.
Just a bitter hateful woman, ignore her.
Our attention is their only power. (both crappy people AND their algorithms)
🖤🩶🤍💜
(or Mouldemort if you are a Brit)
I know why.
She's bi.
Y’all faux outraged hypocrites much?
What's to hate about asexual people?
Besides abuse is about power over victims. So she's wrong a lot.
Ppl like JKR can cope. Ffs.
Instead she just ... doesnt.
Get a f#*king life jk
Bigots to ace : why you don't have sexuality
It so pathetic that I can just laugh at that.
He’s bulletproof, when he’s shot at, he just says “Well, let’s have no more of that”. He can afford to be generous.
She’s a Billionaire, right? Why can’t she fight for those who can’t fight for themselves?
Well, if she wasn’t a hate-filled jerk.
Just sayin’.
Such a shame?
Seriously, every time she runs her mouth, I just want to know: WHO FUCKING ASKED?
She revealed who she was to us a long time ago.
WTF have asexual people ever done to her?
She's a fucking parody of herself at this point.
Bank overfilled to make up for the lack of soul?
- you have sex with the wrong people
- you have too little sex
Nothing is good enough for these assholes.
Yet they meet someone who has little-to-no interest in either, and they still complain that something is wrong with them.
WTF?
Apply common sense please!
This is what comes of "standing" with and listening to ignorantly hateful people: casually absorbing & repeating their disinfo & prejudice as if it were factual. Rowling *constantly* spreads false info through misplaced outrage.

Fortunately, there is plenty of art from good people. We just have to seek those people out and promote them.
A mystery wrapped in an enigma.
