@markwyner @janeishly I have been very disappointed to learn what sort of human she is.
And I think it hits worse because the Harry Potter books spoke to something inside me. I felt I lived like a Harry, being different and looked down on for it. HP made me feel like someone understood that feeling, and created a place in my imagination where I could be happy.
And the mind that created it, which felt just like mine, turns out to be a rabid badger. She's taken that happiness away from me.
@agreeable_landfall @markwyner @janeishly
Big same. I cheered for her -- cheered! -- with her victories against the god-botherers, with her world of whimsy and magic capturing the hearts of a generation.
And now it's gone, and I can see more clearly the cracks in the edifice. Of course she was a bigot. On reflection, it's written into every line of her books, from the British nobility implemented as if it were a net good to the shaming of so many positive human traits.
The whimsy is now sucked away, replaced with a bitter cold. The Harry Potters of the world are cops, have always been cops. The House Elves are still enslaved, and the people at the top continue drinking wine while the peasants starve in Knockturn Alley.

people like her and musk could be living the most amazing lives
but they are hell bent on destruction and hate and cruelty
they are miserable
They have everything, could do anything. And they conspire not to be creative or interesting or positive, but simply to make others' lives worse, because the only thing that could put their fortunes in any sort of positive light is to revel in the plight of the downtrodden.

J.K. Rowling is actively and aggressively using her wealth to attack Amnesty International. Specifically, she is trying to bankrupt them because they criticized anti-trans organizations.
Let that sink in.
1. She’s not just anti-trans. She’s pro-violence against trans folks. Because, yes, anti-trans organizations invoke violence against trans folks.
2. She’s so committed to this that she's trying to bankrupt the largest human-rights organization on the planet.
That’s nazi behavior. She’s a nazi.
@markwyner I have barely a fraction of Rowling's wealth, but am willing to bet that I'm 1000 times happier than she'll ever be.

@scottytrees @markwyner
She's also a holocaust denier.

Wow, I knew she was a douchebag, but I guess she's also a financial terrorist.

@WorldTravelerAll7 @markwyner Her books deserve some critical examination. Shaun has a video on Harry Potter worth considering:

Scotty is more upset with my perceived inappropriate use of the word Nazi than the actual Nazi.

@theogrin @agreeable_landfall @markwyner @janeishly I recommend the video Shaun made on the subject. Granted, I was more completely uninformed than attached to the books.

@markwyner can't we just get rid of her?

@markwyner #JKRowling is a bad person.

@markwyner calling her a nazi is ridiculous. true she fucking sucks, but i can't even take you seriously now
️️@scottytrees @markwyner Hm, okay, is this one of those "if they're not wearing a swastika armband and saying they are a Nazi you can't call them Nazis" things? Are we indifferent to what she's doing because someone used the wrong term to describe her?
-
@disorderlyf @markwyner She won't. Even her rags to riches story is a lie. She was born privileged and will die that way.

@agreeable_landfall @markwyner @janeishly Yeah. She did a good job plagiarizing 'The Worst Witch'. Turned Mildred into a Harry Boy and is so afraid she's gonna get caught she's just kept doubling down on the transphobia to try to bury her shame.
