Can we stop giving this bitch the attention she so desperately craves?
Can people just stop fanatically Following rich idiots?
Came here to say this. Cunt should be old news, yet here she is living in minds rent free.

What prison is she going to go to? There is no asshole prison for "persecuted" B celebs.
This stuff is like Peterson crying he gets cancelled while he has 50 million views.
This post has made me realise my oversight. I had not added "Rowling" to my Lemmy keyword filter.

She is not in the threat of jail though, just there's a possibility of losing some money.
Feels like she is trying to play a victim and implying that freedom of speech is under attack and people are jailed for opinions, when in reality it is about hurting someone.

The Harry Potter series was such a prominent part of my childhood. I remember my teacher reading the books to the class as they came out. I loved every moment and eagerly looked forward to each book release. It is truly a disappointment that someone I held in such high regard has decided that making other people feel bad is how they wish to be remembered.
JK Rowling created a magical world that has evolved and surpassed her in every way.
It's especially frustrating because of how much it's written to accept people who are different (as long as they aren't fat, or a woman who speaks up, or standing against slavery and exploitation).

I just don’t understand why someone would spend this much time trying to make a small group of people miserable. Doesn’t she have better things to do with her time?
JK Rowling somehow turned into one of those weird ladies on Nextdoor who has nothing better to do.

The black mold is truly rotting her brain to the point of no return.
JK, trans people in the UK are closer to being sent to prison that you, a bigoted shitlib billionaire.

Spoken like a privileged ass person who knows she's not going to jail and that the punishment will be monetary at worst. Can't stand people like this who act hard about jail like it's no big deal.
I wish her all the happiness she deserves
So she supports laws that would make transphobic views a criminal offense? Didn't take her for such a progressive thinker.
Not just transphobic: Intersex-phobic and libelous
It is not clear if she is intersex btw, the whole situation was a lot of people on both sides jumping to conclusions.
you didn't want her to be happy before she was a transphobe?
Maybe they were only aware of Rowling once her transphobia came to light?
come on dude, everyone knows harry potter
Everyone knows a popular book series.
Not everyone knows, or even cares about the author.
Lol, that might be me, almost. I knew the movies and books existed (I think I have watched one), but I kinda doubt I remembered the writer's name. Just few years ago I made a friend who critisized the writer about her transphobic views and that's kinda how I got to know her😅
(I have to admit, I'm bad at watching movies/series or reading literature and just few years ago I tried to start reading literature systematically.)
Harry who?
Considering whats in her books I always knew she was at least a tad bit bigoted

She's always been a "new labour" type. There were certainly people who disliked her before she went full TERF.
I personally assumed she already was, and I don't actively wish happiness on people who already experience it. But that's just me
Maybe just didn't care one way or another. It's just a joke, though.
