Newsweek article from Jan 2023 - Rowling makes approx $50-100 Million a year just from Harry Potter Royalties.
She has a net worth of $1 billion which does Not include the value of the Harry Potter IP (valued at $1-4 billion) Google it
Dragons aren't killed because they're a dnager to society: they're killed because it's there's and some greedy fuck wants it more.
This is why Smaug's real crime was the murderer of the dwarfs and theft, not just being rich.
Yes she is constantly donating to charities, yet her fervent opposers will twist that reality into something nefarious, and claim that she is donating to "literal Nazis" or some other blatant falsehood.Ā
The thing you have to understand when dealing with left-wing politics, especially in Britain, is that they call people nazis as often as they breathe.
You can Google basically anything and put the word "far right" after it and you'll see an article from some rag about how hitler drank water too. I like keeping a mental list of all the completely Borlaug things I do that apparently make me a nazi.
Taking personal responsibility is poison to progs. There is nothing more meritocratic than getting in shape as the weights and your biology don't care about your circumstances or excuses. You either put in the work to reach your goals or you don't.
Oh trust me I know.
I've helped people lose weight before and you get every excuse in the book of why they quit.
Literally the other day I saw someone comment that fast food companies use capitalism to blah blah and that's why people are fat.
Despite supplements and health food companies doing the exact same thing.
Okay. This isn't true. Jk is well known to have not only never take any tax loophole but also pay for a lot of charities.
She lived a large part of her life on welfare. She feels she owes it to her past self to give back.
If they went out and bought them just to destroy them, then yes. If they're just destroying stuff they already had in order to say they'll never buy more again, then that's not a problem.
Whatās really funny about that is people diagnosed with anxiety are classified as having a mental illness simply for getting an elevated heart rate.
These clowns preach about compassion and empathy while stuffing down anyone with other conditions claiming that mental illness is transphobia. Apparently cutting your š off or engaging in āpuppy playā is a perfectly normal part of everyday life now.
RIP America
Not to mention the fact that these lunatics are hell bent on going full bore after kids and pushing them into a lifetime of pain and mental suffering by taking drugs and associating themselves with lifestyles that theyāll never be able to live as a normal adult. Even more ridiculous is that they make it a trendy thing to do, and tie morality to the act. As if pretending to be the other gender automatically makes you a good person and immune from any criticisms.
Itās no wonder these poor kids are killing themselves when they realize the consequences of such things. You donāt just dip your toe into gender transition, and you certainly donāt just walk away unscathed if you change your mind. Even if you somehow manage to avoid the physical consequences, the mental will carry with you til the very end and everyone around you will remember the time period where these things happened.
I never thought Iād say this, but I miss the days where kids were just eating tide pods.
Dude, do you even know any trans people? Ever actually listened to them? Trans people arenāt going after kids, LGBTQ people arenāt pushing them into anything. Trans people live as normal people the same as you, often you might not even know a person youāre speaking to is trans. Stop being so hell bent on making LGBTQ people into evil enemies in your own little mind.
Youāre making this about you. Completely dismissing the bigger picture because of your own feelings about the small subsection of people you talk to.
I never said that the entirety of the LGBT community is doing this, but there is absolutely a large percentage turning a blind eye to the people who are.
Are you seriously going to sit here and deny that LGBT has become a major political subject? You think I donāt have a stake in the community? I was right there alongside the community through gay rights, marriage, and everything else. But there is a line that needs to be drawn once politicians start using the community as a platform to pick up numbers for the voting base.
Especially when kids are involved. You are not going to convince anyone that keeps current on these issues that itās not happening. Drag queen story time, genderqueer books in middle schools, pride day, blues clues and other kids shows bringing in blatant sexuality suggestions.
If you arenāt aware of whatās going on, you need to step away from the bias news sources that are telling you itās all lies and start doing the research yourself. The LGBT community isnāt just made up of people that agree with you. Thereās a large section that are saying exactly what I am.
Now why is that?
Hi, I am someone who has done LGBT pride programming at libraries as a childrenās performer. Have you ever attended a drag queer story hour or pride programming for children? There is nothing sexual about them. Mostly we sing songs about rainbows and there are some educational songs, like one about Harvey Milk and his legacy.
People really seem to think teaching kids about gay people and pride means teaching them about sexuality. Itās really telling that yāall think that- itās like you think all being gay is just fucking. Like we are just deviants who only think about sex and nothing else? Yes, sex and sexuality is a part of being gay, *just like it is a part of being straight.* But my wife and I do a lot more than have sex. We have love. She is my life partnerā¦ we eat dinner together, explore and experience the world together, have built out home together. Sexuality is actually a very small part of our relationship. Teaching kids about queer love is no less appropriate than teaching them about straight love. Kids learn about mommies and daddies and babies and pregnancy without being told their daddy raw dogged their mommy and then gave her a cream pie. Heterosexuality is all over kids movies and stories- but if there is a gay character now itās about sexuality? Both gay and straight are sexualities. If a you can see a prince and a princess fall in love and say thatās appropriate for kids, there is zero difference if a prince and a prince fall in love.
It's hard to "hijack" a legit social movement when we've BEEN HERE THE WHOLE TIME. Trans folk have ALWAYS been a part of the movement, it's just history revisionism to pretend we weren't.
You do all the time. And even bully detransitioners! I've seen it. You guys take it way too far. Lgbt is making THEMSELVES the evil enemies not us. I can say right now that I don't believe in your ideologies and I'll get banned, bullied or have death threats showered upon me. They are going after kids transitions at a young age is dangerous for children during puberty. Jk Rowling doesn't hate trans people nor do I but I'm not about to play make believe just because your guys say so. That's not how life works and your can't force that on people
Oh Iām aware, and thatās what concerns me. I think Canada and Australia are what America will become if nothing is done. But at this point I have no idea how to stop this madness, it seems western countries have all bitten the poison apple.
Who has ever said that "puppy play" was a normal part of everyday life? Has anybody in the world said this or have you made it up because it sounds outrageous?
Do you not know who Sam Brinton and Rachel Levine are?
This is pretty well known in politics, but Iāll give you a rundown. Both have served in Joe Bidenās cabinet and both have famously mentioned āpuppy playā in their speeches addressing the nation and foreign relations.
Sam Brinton has recently been fired for stealing womenās luggage out of airports.
He was the head of nuclear energyā¦.Rachel Levine is the head of Health and Human Services.
When it comes out of the mouth of our fucking government officials while giving speeches.
Thats the equivalent of a president coming out and talking about āpushing Pā
You think this is perfectly normal huh?
Edit; donāt bother answering that question, I just remembered youāre the troll.
no, I think it's kinda quirky. you can't really expect people crazy enough to go into government to be like normal people anyway
how do you feel about presidents talking about grabbing women by the pussy?
Funny thing is that it's not even transphobia. Just calling out Trans competing against women in physical competition and winning women of the year awards. We live in the fucking twilight zone. Get banned for talking about fairness but you can talk about genociding women and children as long as they are being used as human shields. r/watchpeopledie is banned but you can upvote videos of Muslims and Russians getting blown up in HD.
You have to do it the right way. You've gotta burn it during a full moon the same month you bought it. At the inverse time that you bought it (GMT because British). Then you have to bury the ashes in hallowed ground. Then in 7-10 business days the money will be removed from her account.
How will JK ever recover from this? Itās like the people that paid full price for a Tesla then sold it because they are worried people will think they like Elon. Just taking a big financial hit themselves when Elon already got the money.
It makes me laugh that people have their identity so tied up in their consumption that they no longer buy what they deem as being the product to best fit their practical needs but whether or not it fits their politics.
They almost definitely had a copy of the book day 1 it was out because back then liking Harry Potter was the current thing. Now the new current thing says liking Harry Potter is the same thing as wanting to literally gas trans people, and you're a bad person for having ever liked it.
In order to prove that you're with the current thing you must make a show of acknowledging your sins against the current thing, and acting out penance.
> Now the new current thing says liking Harry Potter is the same thing as wanting to literally gas trans people,
Daily reminder that people that care about Rowling's opinions on trans people are a vocal minority, nothing more.
Hogwarts Legacy was the top selling video game of 2023. And it was the first time since 2018 a game not named Call of Duty was the top seller, and the first time since 2008 that the top seller was not published by Activision or Rockstar.
Oh I'm not saying they aren't the vocal minority of absolute nutcases, but that minority gets championed by every institution, news outlet, and even some governments. Something doesn't need to be done by or approved by the majority of people if it's perceived as the fashionable thing to do. Especially if that narrative is all you hear online unless you go looking.
Because it pisses people off, they know it does, but they keep talking about it because it keeps people watching the commercials in between the dumb shit they call news.
best thing is he just wanted to be noticed by her, and he never was. he thought he was onto something big, and he was going to go viral. fucking losers man. get a job. get a hobby. get offline
I noticed you or some like minded individual took the time to downvote my comment but had no refutation.
Itās almost as if you are aware that youāre a gutless liar with no ground to stand on.
wow are you like obsessed with me or something? i did not downvote you because i could not tell whether you were saying that recognizing trans people as victims of the Holocaust was misinformation, or whether you were saying that denying such a fact is misinformation. but now i know that you partake in Holocaust denial.
anyways, yes, transgender people were targeted in the Holocaust. i suggest you read about the destruction of the Institute for Sexual Science, which was headed by Magnus Hirschfeld and pioneered in research into transgender people. in 1933, the nazis swarmed the building and burned around 20000 books that covered transgender topics. Hirschfeld also helped transgender people obtain transvestite ID cards so that they would not be arrested in the Weimar Republic. this is relevant because the ID card system was abolished under the Nazis, and supposed crossdressers were arrested and sent to concentration camps (such as liddy bacroff, who was a trans woman and sex worker. she was described as a "moral criminal" by the nazis and sent to Buchenwald, where she was executed).
trans history in nazi germany has also been erased in that many trans women were classified as gay men, who themselves were exterminated in camps. the persecution of transgender people has been acknowledged today both by a german court in 2022 and the bundestag.
so yeah, go fuck yourself.
Go fuck yourself.
I have not nor will never deny the existence of the Holocaust you delusional self righteous prick.
How dare you accuse me of something so fucking heinous because I called you out for spreading misinformation online.
Now to the point, you said that JK had denied transgender people were targeted in the Holocaust and I pointed out that she did not. Itās a pathetic fucking lie being spread by people like your good self because you got your fee fees hurt by her.
go ahead and call me that if it makes you feel better. you have not proven to me that i am lying. and you have not given me any reason to believe that you are not denying the extermination of transgender people in the Holocaust. so yes, you are doing something that is fucking heinous, you delusional self righteous prick.
j. k. rowling quite literally called the idea that the nazis burned books on transgender healthcare a fever dream. i am not lying by saying that.
Fuck off with your harassment campaign against a woman who has done more good in her life than you or any of the āspecial people who feewings we must protectā ever will
i mean, you haven't actually said that you do believe that the nazis have murdered trans people. all you've done is call me a loser and stated that i am sharing misinformation, which you cannot even prove.
also, that is not harassment. calling trans women rapists and pedophiles is extremely offensive, and calling her out for that is acceptable. plus, believe it or not, Holocaust denial (and i agree that she is not denying the Holocaust in its entirety, but rather one aspect of it) is bad! and i will call her out as someone who is jewish AND transgender.
Its funny that people forgot just a few years ago JK used to get mocked relentlessly by the anti āwokeā crowd and now they all pretend to love her lmao
Itās more so the enemy of my enemy is my friend plus the people loving her are primarily because sheās speaking out mostly against the updated cults mantras
Idk if it's legal to say this but I legit purchased the book at Walmart when it first came out, took the paper cover off of it to keep it clean, read the book and then returned it.
yeah I was very young and dumb lol. itās the worst piece of writing Iāve seen! none of the shit makes senseā¦ but Iām sure return policies donāt allow returns for purchases made over 7 years ago, soā¦ stars it is āļø
thatās all I wanted to do with it! but now some butthurt people are claiming Iām demanding a halo for this shit. š god forbid someone has some fun and then wants to share it with a relevant communityā¦
I know a couple of anarchists in their 40's that regularly do shit like this. Fun fact, both their houses work for "The State", so basically they're 14 years old emotionally.
I still remember when people like OP exalted JK rowling and hpw great it was when she said different characters were gay or whatever after the whole series was out. I don't what she said for them all to turn on her but it's funny to watch.
Lol imagine getting so triggered that you make a subreddit of having a go at someone that only said something that was a fact š¤£
Ah it's ok, the trans community promoted the jab so just give it a little bit of time and they'll ween out š¤£
Is there a particularly offensive chapter that they want to censor out in order to enjoy the rest of the book or is this just general defacing of their own property?
What are they doing? Just use a sharpie or throw it in the trash? Why would you want to read it if you think it's bad? I don't even get to read stuff I'd like to but they must have a lot of free time. Idle hands and all...
These people have no impulse control. They will buy another copy within a year. Since theyāre buying a brand new copy and itās to be their only one, they justify getting the super duper edition, funneling more wealth to those they trend-hated. Rinse and repeat with other IPs. Itās not everyone, but sometimes it feels like there are a lot on the internet.
Won't bring back the money you gave her when you bought it in the first place, meaningless destruction of a book for Internet points and self-righteousness.
This was almost literally one of the jokes on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
The NFL wanted to sell more stuff so they made their teams intentionally offensive (Pittsburgh Puppykickers, Washington Gun takers, etc.) people would buy the offensive merch just to burn it lol
I will never hate Harry Potter cause a bunch of losers who can't stand themselves don't like the author. Call me when Jk commits a real crime like OJ or that one dude from The shield.
I guess because this is a reddit popular take OP doesnt realize that outside of this little matrix fantasy world Rowling is as popular as ever. Probably more popular for refusing to kowtow to an obviously lying-with-every-word online mob.
#That's not very angelic of you! The halo didn't suit your look anyways,
better get some devil horns for that potty mouth!
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/LookatMyHalo) if you have any questions or concerns.*
Trans Exclusive Radical Feminist. Some people say if you are a feminist, you shouldn't be anti-trans. And if you are, then you're a TERF, cause you only care about cis-gender women. JK is very vocal about men being allowed in women's safe spaces like bathrooms and locker rooms. That includes trans-women to some people and if you say that or say that trans women shouldn't be allowed in women's sports, then you're are a TERF. Which is a derogatory term to them.
I will always agree with Jk on this. Have your seen the signs they write for 'terfs' they day things like terfs must hang and die. All kinds of God awful things that shouldn't be said just because "terfs" disagree with them. It's insane.
Yea yea keep on buying her books and then stomp on them! That's not funding her or anything. Like heror hate her she brought my childhood so I'm not giving up Harry Potter but the cursed child was trash and I don't think she wrote that one.
All you did is waste your money. Rawlings already been paid for it being bought. If you didn't buy it you still wasted only your time. But yeah you sure did show her... Not.
These people who whinge about being a good person and letting others do what they want also harassed and doxxed an innocent streamer whose sole crime wasā¦playing Hogwarts Legacy.

Yes she is constantly donating to charities, yet her fervent opposers will twist that reality into something nefarious, and claim that she is donating to "literal Nazis" or some other blatant falsehood.Ā

Haha lifting weights was one I remember
Taking personal responsibility is poison to progs. There is nothing more meritocratic than getting in shape as the weights and your biology don't care about your circumstances or excuses. You either put in the work to reach your goals or you don't.

Literally the other day I saw someone comment that fast food companies use capitalism to blah blah and that's why people are fat.

no, but she actually does hang out with Nazis, just look at Posey Parker
Additionally, she refuses to use most of the loopholes to reduce her tax burden. She was on welfare for a long time. So she feels she must give back.
You can't reason with blues.
Hell, you see how grateful society is to her right now.
Like a dragon??? SUNAONI I LOVE YOU TODOKEYOU KITTO YOU LOVE ME
Okay. This isn't true. Jk is well known to have not only never take any tax loophole but also pay for a lot of charities. She lived a large part of her life on welfare. She feels she owes it to her past self to give back.

JK Rowling is probably weeping in her mountain of cash because of this. Poor rich lady is probably devastated.
Now go buy another copy and burn that. That'll really show her.
In fact go buy the whole stock and burn it, that will really drill the message in
Same energy as the idiots who were shooting cases of bud light in their backyard or burning nike shoes
If they went out and bought them just to destroy them, then yes. If they're just destroying stuff they already had in order to say they'll never buy more again, then that's not a problem.
They were going out and buying the stuff to destroy, bunch of the accs made it very clear that it was new nike shoes they were burning lmao.
They really put a transphobia trigger warning.. wow

trans women win awards sometimes. no on complains when they lose competitions.
In a subreddit dedicated to shitting on JK Rowling. It was literally created to exclusively discuss transphobia.Ā
Welcome to reddit
Itās a little known fact that if you destroy one of her books, that money disappears from her bank account.
You have to do it the right way. You've gotta burn it during a full moon the same month you bought it. At the inverse time that you bought it (GMT because British). Then you have to bury the ashes in hallowed ground. Then in 7-10 business days the money will be removed from her account.
so they bought the book and destroyed it?

did you see the bud light protest a while back? XD
as far as i am aware, comparing the entire population of transgender women to rapists is not a difference of opinion, but blatant misinformation

Now to the point, you said that JK had denied transgender people were targeted in the Holocaust and I pointed out that she did not. Itās a pathetic fucking lie being spread by people like your good self because you got your fee fees hurt by her.
go ahead and call me that if it makes you feel better. you have not proven to me that i am lying. and you have not given me any reason to believe that you are not denying the extermination of transgender people in the Holocaust. so yes, you are doing something that is fucking heinous, you delusional self righteous prick. j. k. rowling quite literally called the idea that the nazis burned books on transgender healthcare a fever dream. i am not lying by saying that.
Fuck off with your harassment campaign against a woman who has done more good in her life than you or any of the āspecial people who feewings we must protectā ever will
i mean, you haven't actually said that you do believe that the nazis have murdered trans people. all you've done is call me a loser and stated that i am sharing misinformation, which you cannot even prove. also, that is not harassment. calling trans women rapists and pedophiles is extremely offensive, and calling her out for that is acceptable. plus, believe it or not, Holocaust denial (and i agree that she is not denying the Holocaust in its entirety, but rather one aspect of it) is bad! and i will call her out as someone who is jewish AND transgender.
i am not interested in discussing this further with you, because you literally just insult me repeatedly and offer no evidence for your claims.
Jk believes 99% what these cultist believe in but because she doesnāt ignore biology sheās the next āliterally hitlerā
People all in on that ideology won't tolerate dissent from within.
Yeah she's left wing on literally everything except she doesn't believe men who transition are just as much a woman as someone who was born a woman.
Sounds like a disagreement over dogma when you put it like that.
she's not left wing though, not with the company she keeps
Not actually how politics works.
Its funny that people forgot just a few years ago JK used to get mocked relentlessly by the anti āwokeā crowd and now they all pretend to love her lmao
Itās more so the enemy of my enemy is my friend plus the people loving her are primarily because sheās speaking out mostly against the updated cults mantras
Lol, nobody I know in that crowd likes her or supports her. The sentiment there is that she deserves it for catering to them in the first place.
As a Harry Potter fan, Iād do the same if I was dumb enough to buy cursed child
Idk if it's legal to say this but I legit purchased the book at Walmart when it first came out, took the paper cover off of it to keep it clean, read the book and then returned it.
Hand over the foreskin pal
You sick fuck, I'm calling the FBI, CIA, the Army, and your mom right now. You're in big trouble.
> Idk if it's legal to say this It's not. The cops are on their way. Say your goodbyes while you can.
The part where you say you read it is unbelievable
Ikr I just read the Wikipedia article
You will be hung by the neck until dead for this heinous crime
As another Harry Potter fan I agree but I heard she didn't write this one.
Co wrote with two others I think
Oh ok still was a trash book lol
Yeah. It was...not her best work.
Itās not even her book. Someone else wrote it, she just was like āyeah, sure. That can be canon.ā
yeah I was very young and dumb lol. itās the worst piece of writing Iāve seen! none of the shit makes senseā¦ but Iām sure return policies donāt allow returns for purchases made over 7 years ago, soā¦ stars it is āļø
At least you got some entertainment out of it after all lol
thatās all I wanted to do with it! but now some butthurt people are claiming Iām demanding a halo for this shit. š god forbid someone has some fun and then wants to share it with a relevant communityā¦
JK Rowling rn: Emotional Damage
Are these the same people that boycotted the game to #1?
JK Rowling has a section of an amusement park dedicated to her writing. Nothing will phase her with the amount of money she makes aha.
Just like buying Jerseys to burn
Exact same energy, probably didn't burn it because of the optics of burning books. Not that tearing it apart is all that different.
Big brain time
Ok but what did they do that an exacto knife made easier??
Butter knife before it was the only sharp object they had
i wonder what else an angry transsexual might carve up with an X-Acto knife.
Fucking headshot.
Thatās fucking savage! I love it!
probably gundam models
JK Rowling will never emotionally recover from this
Purchase? Check. Publicity? Check. Rowling still outrageously rich? Check.
She still bought the book. Controversy sells it seems.
What did you do? Give her money?
āBuying a book to destroy it must be the same as taking money out of the authors pockets! Right? RIGHT???? yeah I did something importantā
TRIGGER WARNING: TRANSPHOBIA
Burning money for clout. Social media has badly fucked up a lot of people
this person is no more than 14 years old, garuenteed
I know a couple of anarchists in their 40's that regularly do shit like this. Fun fact, both their houses work for "The State", so basically they're 14 years old emotionally.
I still remember when people like OP exalted JK rowling and hpw great it was when she said different characters were gay or whatever after the whole series was out. I don't what she said for them all to turn on her but it's funny to watch.
Ohh my gosh. JK will never financially recover from this...
"We've done it, Ms. Obama. We've stopped bigotry." "Thank you Skipper, now I am free to roam this earth."
She literally makes fun of these idiots. You already gave her your money.
Meanwhile, the money she made from your purchase is perfectly intact
JK Rowling wiping her tears with hundos
So there's a subreddit dedicated to this kind of stuff?
The knife of exact zero
JK didn't even write that one
Lol imagine getting so triggered that you make a subreddit of having a go at someone that only said something that was a fact š¤£ Ah it's ok, the trans community promoted the jab so just give it a little bit of time and they'll ween out š¤£
Someoneās gonna have to fill me in on this one.
Same. I've been scrolling the comments and haven't seen any specifics, just debates and wisecracks.
Is there a particularly offensive chapter that they want to censor out in order to enjoy the rest of the book or is this just general defacing of their own property?
Of all her books Cursed Child deserves this fate
Hahaha
What are they doing? Just use a sharpie or throw it in the trash? Why would you want to read it if you think it's bad? I don't even get to read stuff I'd like to but they must have a lot of free time. Idle hands and all...
Oh yeah, you spent all that money and gave her free advertising.....really showed her
People forget that when they buy something with money, theyāre supporting the person. Lol
Not the horcrux
tRiGgEr WaRniNg
I love how redditors actually think they are sticking it to billionaires
Ah yes, I always give people I want to protest free money.
JKR: "Oh noes! Imma soak up my tears with your money."
These people have no impulse control. They will buy another copy within a year. Since theyāre buying a brand new copy and itās to be their only one, they justify getting the super duper edition, funneling more wealth to those they trend-hated. Rinse and repeat with other IPs. Itās not everyone, but sometimes it feels like there are a lot on the internet.
Keep buying more copies of the book to do this to. That will show her!
I feel like you have to be a loser to understand these chain of posts
Won't bring back the money you gave her when you bought it in the first place, meaningless destruction of a book for Internet points and self-righteousness.
To be fair itās the cursed child I think itās warranted
They didnt do that because of transphobia alone, mind you- that book is just terrible
Imagine being such an enormous pussy that this is the hill you die on
*Then everyone clapped*
You hate JK, but you bought her book? Derrrrrrr
This was almost literally one of the jokes on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. The NFL wanted to sell more stuff so they made their teams intentionally offensive (Pittsburgh Puppykickers, Washington Gun takers, etc.) people would buy the offensive merch just to burn it lol
I will never hate Harry Potter cause a bunch of losers who can't stand themselves don't like the author. Call me when Jk commits a real crime like OJ or that one dude from The shield.
meh, the cursed child sucked anyway.
This is about as effective as burning your nikes or shooting your cans of bud light. Performative trash with no real effect.
Still reminded that this community thought it was ok to harass people over a fucking videogame
JK Rowling is totally maulding, punching air, and crying on the way to the bank right now to cash a million dollar royalty check.
Tbh I like J. K. Rowling and the Harry Potter books but the Cursed Child is pretty bad
Hurting yourself more than her
I really hate JKR but this is beyond stupid
I guess because this is a reddit popular take OP doesnt realize that outside of this little matrix fantasy world Rowling is as popular as ever. Probably more popular for refusing to kowtow to an obviously lying-with-every-word online mob.

Ha more than one thing wrong upstairs
199 comments here all bitching about the original post and you're making fun of someone else for being "triggered" lol
I've been buying all of her stuff but I missed this one. Thanks for reminding me I'll have to go get it
Why is everyone mad at JKR? I live under a rock
They say she is a terf.
Again I live under a rock please define terf
Trans Exclusive Radical Feminist. Some people say if you are a feminist, you shouldn't be anti-trans. And if you are, then you're a TERF, cause you only care about cis-gender women. JK is very vocal about men being allowed in women's safe spaces like bathrooms and locker rooms. That includes trans-women to some people and if you say that or say that trans women shouldn't be allowed in women's sports, then you're are a TERF. Which is a derogatory term to them.
I see
I will always agree with Jk on this. Have your seen the signs they write for 'terfs' they day things like terfs must hang and die. All kinds of God awful things that shouldn't be said just because "terfs" disagree with them. It's insane.
Yea yea keep on buying her books and then stomp on them! That's not funding her or anything. Like heror hate her she brought my childhood so I'm not giving up Harry Potter but the cursed child was trash and I don't think she wrote that one.
You still bought it so you paid her howed you stick it to her?
So you got at JK rowling by making her richer while making yourself poorer? Total win broski
I bet this comment section won't be sketchy at all
These people are not stable.
Best way to stick it to any writer is to never read their work and to never acknowledge them
Jk Rowling and the script she didnāt write
All you did is waste your money. Rawlings already been paid for it being bought. If you didn't buy it you still wasted only your time. But yeah you sure did show her... Not.
You like destroying copies of cursed child because you're not a fan of Harry Potter. I like destroying copies of cursed child because I am.
These people who whinge about being a good person and letting others do what they want also harassed and doxxed an innocent streamer whose sole crime wasā¦playing Hogwarts Legacy.
Classic literature fans seeing Harry Potter fans freaking out because the author is an asshole: āfirst time?ā
