I’m always confused by people that are willing to tank their body of work and public image in order to yell on a soapbox for culture war bullshit.
She has all the "fuck you" money one could have.
Tank? Harry Potter games are still selling incredibly well. The Fantastic Beasts movies have grossed $1.8 billion dollars. The Wizarding World at Universal Orlando continues to be a major attraction.
She could have, and should have, fucked off to her own private tropical island after that but no she had nothing better to do than be an insufferable asshole to trans people.
Tom from MySpace is the only rich person I know of that did the smart thing
Actually Fantastic Beasts had the be shelved because no one likes the ones after the first one.. Grindelwald's Crime that made him "Literally worse than Voldemort!" was.... Wanting to stand up to the Nazis... That one was especially problematic
And given that JK Rowling is officioally recognized by the German Government as a holocaust denier, we can go ahead and assume the worst, that she's one of those "Our grandparents fought on the wrong side!" nutters
I personally respect people that value their values above money.
She obviously thinks having a safe space for women is more important than having more money and she is willing to stand up for her views.
It's respectable that she is willing to waste money for her views, not the opposite.
Also I do think freedom of speech is exceptionally important. Possibly more important than anything.
