What is it about money that makes people say absolutely unhinged bullshit? If I had millions, I'd keep my mouth shut, buy a nice little home on Santorini and live peacefully.

fucking hate Rowling's contributions to discourse, but that article is shite clickbait. Many items on the list aren't "wildly transphobic [things she said/did]" but rather just contemptible or embarrassing; e.g. like her tone deaf Dolly Parton tribute or accidentally photographing mold in her profile pic. Also they don't link to the actual posts/vids for many of the claims, instead showing unrelated Rowlings posts.

Don't forget that her pen name, Robert Galbraith was a real person, the inventor of electroshock therapy to (try to) turn gay men straight. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Galbraith_Heath. She has denied it but OMFG she is the OG namesmith, of course she knew.
nccomputermechanics4
Only 11 im Sure that number is much MUCH higher
LucilleWhoKnowsNot
I've been listening to the HP books again. They are full of bullying and hate. I never really noticed before.
DeepThought42
Please start calling her Judas Karen Rowling
Yetiphobia
I'll regret to my dying day defending her about a decade ago in an argument with a young woman who I thought was overdoing it in her accusations of Rowling's shittiness.

Fuck this cunt

You can screenshot the title but not the article?

Just stop supporting this trash. That's it.
Kaiju84
Must have been a chore narrowing it down to 11. Like, they couldn't even get it down to a list-friendly 10, they were like "Oh, no, these are so transphobic, they all HAVE TO be on the list."
Aranon1183
That's a shitty fuckin' hat! How much she piss away on that, I wonder?
Resistance1000
She's wearing it wrong, too. It shouldn't be on top of her head, it should be in front of it.
KingKrabvoldIV
Just wish someone would wipe that shit eating grin off of her smug, pig face.

Idrinkforevil
Not to defend her but at least she had the sense to say all her BS after she finished publishing the HP books
kleinbotl
Except she's not done making money from them to fund her crusade
Idrinkforevil
very valid point.
Hootykai
She ain't just weird she is weird weird. Weird, eh.
INeverReadTheTOS
I'm glad we're finally past the point where disingenuous dweebs flock to every Rowling post like "Uuuuhhh actually she's not transphobic unless you can show me a video where she literally says 'I'm transphobic'."
Nephytis
Shes a cunt. You don't have to like a person to love something they created...some people are just dumb as fuck.
slopwizard
That's just every fucking far-right asshole about any bigotry. Years ago you could say "Donald is a racist" and they'd bitch and moan as if you need some "I am a racist" he had notarized and postmarked. Nowadays even more of them own up to his and their own racism
TheIronPenguin
Seems more like this is the post that breaks the norm. I usually seem them on posts like this, sadly. And someone else also posted this and there's one muppet in the bad replies section claiming that trans women hates "real women", that they invade womens restrooms, defies biology, etc.
BallsackHippo
It’s crazy how vile she turned. I remember back when she was reading HP to kids in libraries, and looked like a decent person. Fast forward a few years, she was posting poison on platforms :-/
Muffyns
I wish transphobes would be like arachnaphobes they would shut their phone off and run for 30 miles in opposite direction and die
doctorbocker
Uhhh she's not transphobic she has paranoia and obsessive disorders caused by exposure to strange British moulds. If it helps, when they someday find her body, she'll look like an extra from The Last of Us. Now THAT should have been a Harry Potter subplot.

I hate that kind of disingenuous pedantry.
Like people who say the US doesn't have a separation of church and state because the literal workers "separation of church and state" don't appear in the Constitution
vizeroy42
Considering that (in most states) candidates that are either openly agnostic, or of a non-christian belief, have no chance of getting elected.... and that your money literally says "in god we trust"... there is no separation of state and church.
You have prayers at the 50 yard line of football games.... mandatory prayers at quite a few schools...

Almost one year since he's said anything dumb or racist, good in bun.
Yea I've noticed that in his absence people have been picking ho bis bullshit techniques and failing with them .they forget they don't have a billionaire backing them
wadatahmydamie
My former MMA coach used to try that on me, but in a public forum. Soon as I’d start bringing receipts, he’d switch to private messaging.
The second time he did it, I posted a screencap of his response in the original thread and responded there. Slimy fuck.
OhIfIMust
I cannot comprehend why anyone would have such a HUGE bug up their ass about anything like this. She could do fucking ANYTHING ON EARTH, and she wants to dedicate so much time and energy just HATING like this? What a pathetic fucking bully.
Draygen
Hank Green says he's known a lot of billionaires, and according to him, the ones that have been that rich less than a decade are usually pretty fine and sane, but after the ten year mark, it does something to their brain and they get disconnected from reality. Being a billionaire is a mental disorder.
draek1
She has always, always been trash. Aren't the British the ones who say money doesn't buy class?
satanicblackmagic
i feel like we've always known this a bit, like when years ago someone pointed out how mean rowling was about fat characters. of course at the time we laughed and thought it was NBD but she was always like this
OhIfIMust
FFS, Pratchett was RIGHT THERE the whole time!
satanicblackmagic
it did start a snowball effect and people started noticing other things, like how the goblins were based on old racist tropes against jews. again those people were told they were over-reacting
fartharder
I don't understand why HBO of all companies would greenlight this.
igglebotato
fartharder
Yeah, I mean apart from that
igglebotato
not sure a media conglomerate cares much about anything apart from that
fartharder
HBO has a loooooong history of LGBTQA+ content
igglebotato
and they're throwing it all away to chase the Harry Potter money
LerryV2
Why do you keep giving her the spot light?
wandermanspacebot
Seriously. Her terrible ideas are platformed here, basically. Never hear about her anywhere else.
LerryV2
Same. I only know of her because of the constant dick beating.
kleinbotl
She's the wealthiest author in world history, she's got the spotlight no matter what. A lot of people are, staggering I know, still completely unaware of all the evil she's doing with all that wealth and power. Showing those evils to more people is a net good.
LerryV2
I find it hard to believe that this echo chamber doesnt know who this person is. Its like someone here finding out that trump is a bastard. Just let these idiots disappear. There is no such thing as bad news and letting her live rent free in your head lets her win.
Dracon27
You know, the userbase here isn't static, new people join every day.
GwensBackOnHerBS
Maga: any place that doesnt agree with me is an echo chamber.
Maga: Irony? What's that?
LerryV2
Im not MAGA. Fuck trump. Nice try though.
GwensBackOnHerBS
Not a maga, just saying maga stuff.
Whatever.
BellsTheorem
She's a billionaire. Billionaires don't just "disappear". They can buy relevance the same way you buy socks.
kleinbotl
That's the most naïve statement I've seen in a long time. What part of wealthiest author to ever live was lost on you? She has infinite ability to be heard and seen. She won't disappear because people stop speaking out against her. All that will do is let her hate stand uncontested. You can likewise not simply ignore the president of the united states and expect him to disappear. His ability to drop nukes doesn't vanish because you stop paying attention to him.
CliffWestern
This is what centrists told themselves about Donald Trump

Don’t forget, she’s also a holocaust denier

thedudeman519
It's not like it's well documented or anything Joan
HydraNine
I don't understand her objection. The nazis destroyed the Institute for Sexual Science in Berlin and burnt its books and that organization coined the term transexual. So that part's a slam dunk. 1/2
Dracon27
Because, clearly, Trans people didn't exist before 2010 /s
HydraNine
I expect she'd object to having her views compared to nazi views, but the pretty clear throughline is that both view transgender people as lesser people who do not deserve the same rights/respect. It's really suspicious imho that she didn't engage at all with the criticism and tried to claim that it's nonsense as if that were self-evident when it isn't. 2/2
bobbobbybobbington
specifically the transpeople who were holocausted with the jews as i recall, selective holocause denial
bippityboppitybuttsex
There is no selective Holocaust denial, if you deny any part of the Holocaust, you deny the Holocaust.
bobbobbybobbington
yes, i agree, but my point is that some holocaust deniers will be like "oh i'm not a holocaust denier, i just deny XYZ aspect of it", and that is an important thing to know when you are arguing with them
bippityboppitybuttsex
A great example is Mel Gibson and othering the holocaust:
"Yes, of course. Atrocities happened. War is horrible. The Second World War killed tens of millions of people. Some of them were Jews in concentration camps... [But] look at the camps that Stalin had... more people died in Ukraine in the Famine of '32."
Minimizing and saying, 'well look what Stalin and Mao did!'... fun fact, one genocide does not diminish or excuse another... also the high estimate for the Holodomor is 5M... (a note...
bippityboppitybuttsex
... that we should include excess mortality as well, which brings the Holodomor up above 10M.
We should always use Excess Mortality and not just a raw body count... and we need to make sure we push back on the idea that the "Holocaust Killed 6M Jews" as that only covers half the story and negates the mass murder of 5M+ Roma, LGBTQ, Socialists, Disabled, Poles, Soviet PoWs... the Roma were almost eliminated as a population group

bippityboppitybuttsex
I go by 'hey asshole, what the fuck?'
PineappleLoopsBroether
I think she got bodysnatched, and something evil is just wearing her skin around being horrible.
The real JKR who wrote those books to warn us about evil is either dead or being held prisoner by demons.
Just like how Barry Crouch Jr was possessing Alastor Moody, and the real Alastor was hidden in a trunk.
Avilan1972
OH and I forgot. The "Noblewoman" who co-runs her charity since long before her TERF days is openly anti-gay and the same day Rowling published her very first TERF manifesto on Twitter her colleague posted an equally disturbing twitter rambling about how lesbian marriages were a threat to real (aka straight) women and Rowling didn't even react to it.
TheLastBootyBender
Goblins, house elves, Cho Chang, Kingsley Shacklebolt
It's not very well hidden.
jonhamsandwich11
This is why people talk about the black mould in her home, it’s partly a joke, but like….
jonhamsandwich11
Avilan1972
...If you read her books now it is pretty damn clear she was a reactionary conservative to start with. One quick example: Harry's future wife only find happiness after she becomes a housewife. Also, movie example (which she oversaw the production of): Goblins have hooked noses and are money lenders and evil.
cyno01
If she had just pulled an Enya and fucked off with her billions to a castle full of cats, the problematic elements in Harry Potter would probably be overlooked by anyone besides some deep tumblr pages but since shes such an outspoken bigot in one facet, a lot of other stuff becomes kinda hard to ignore. Just so much lazy racism, like the irish kid always blowing stuff up, or the only east asian girl being named Ching Chong... really wish id stopped buying HP LEGO a lot sooner.
Gin2ki
Is Enya a bigot??
cyno01
Noooo no no no. Well, could be, but no one would know cuz she isnt on twitter and has zero public persona, but still probably not.
Shes just famously private as far as successful artists go, pretty much the opposite of Moldermort.
FrenziiTheIMP
Seamus Finnegan (what an original name for an Irish character) only wants to blow shit up or turn thins into alcohol..
PineappleLoopsBroether
Noooo… jk named her Ching Chong????? Noooooo!!! That’s horrible and pitifully crude.
cyno01
Ok, not to spread hyperbole as misinformation its actually "Cho Chang" but thats not much better.
The most prominent black character also is "Kingsly Shacklebolt", so uh...
HolliHellfire
Cho Chang. Not really any better.
