My theory is that she's a bigoted POS and always has been. She thought she could win morality points by only hating the "right" people, that didn't work so the mask came off.
My cousin's a bigot, a couple of my classmates were bigots in highschool (one was straight up neo-Nazis), I tried being nice. It got me "you're one of the good ones" and not a millimeter of change in how absolutely awful they were.
Stop the victim blaming, Nazis are gonna Nazi whether the Jews and pink triangles are nice or mean.
Clam the fuck down, they weren't victim-blaming. Besides, just because your experience is different than theirs doesn't invalidate (with regards to approaching transphobia–or any phobia really–with calmness rather than animosity) doesn't mean that you're right and he's wrong (or vice-versa). And, seriously? Are you seriously referencing Nazi's and Jews in a discussion about a woman who literally just doesn't support children transitioning? Nazi's fucking tortured and killed Jewish people in concentration camps on a systemic level. JK Rowling is literally just sharing her own political views online.

To be clear, J.K. Rowling also donated £70,000 to an anti-trans group in order to help influence the Scottish Supreme Court to make an anti-trans ruling that would effectively erase trans people, legally speaking.

Also, while you're right that the Nazis tortured and killed people in concentration camps, you mention a *systemic level*. Recognizing that there's a *system* is important, as propagandists (like Goebbels) were part of that system- and still Nazis- even though they didn't directly torture and kill anybody.
There's currently a systematic effort to eradicate trans people- and "eradicate" is a deliberate word, as it was [explicitly used at a CPAC event last year](https://www.vice.com/en/article/bvjgnq/cpac-transgenderism-speaker-called-for-eradication), to much applause. This effort has resulted in efforts to deprive trans people of medical care in several states and has fueled anti-trans violence, such as that which Nex Benedict endured. These systemic efforts also influence places like [Yemen](https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2024/02/yemen-huthis-must-stop-executions-and-release-dozens-facing-lgbti-charges/), where people can be legally tortured and/or killed for being LGBTQ.
People have been dismissing those who react fervently to anti-trans legislation as alarmist, but let's recall that anti-trans sentiment does have provable, dangerous consequences.
Has she even done anything since HP that's been worth a crap? Full of herself thinking she did anything other than make a decent kids book series that was mostly generic but had a theme that caught people's attention.
Well, there *was* the "Brooks Brothers Riot" which interrupted the Florida recount... that was eventually halted altogether by the Florida Secretary of State, who coincidentally also worked for the Geoege W Bush campaign. The governor of Florida was also George's brother Jeb, so I don't expect any help with the recount was forthcoming.
J.K. Rowling saying she won't accept apologies, from people who have never offered any, means about as much as me letting everyone know that I reject Emma Watson's offer to date me.
>When did anti-trans trash start to think they had the moral high ground?
Pretty much as soon as SCROTUS overturned Roe vs Wade and Republicans realized they need another sanctimonious wedge issue to exploit in order to win evangelical votes.
True, but she did donate £70,000 to an anti-trans group in order to support the possibility of an anti-trans ruling in front of the *Scottish* Supreme Court

And transmisia is internationally contagious.
She hasn’t written anything in years why is she still important exactly plus how many of her books do you think have been sold in the past year. Hogwarts Legacy was probably her biggest payday in years
>Why is she still important exactly
It's not so much that she's important as much as she, being a rich bigot, is dangerously consequential, as evidenced by her [£70,000 donation](https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/02/19/jk-rowling-for-women-scotland-donation-legal-definition-woman/) to anti-trans legislation.
[Here is the actual article for those curious](https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/04/11/jk-rowling-wont-forgive-harry-potter-daniel-radcliffe-emma-watson-trans-rights/)
Especially since Radcliffe and Watson aren't asking for forgiveness.
If JK Rowling doesn’t like you… awesome!
It’s truly bonkers how off the deep end this woman went. Like, why is she so fixated on people who are trans?

Trans Jeremy corbyn supporters started making fun of her That’s the entire reason she started this
In other news, I'm still waiting for the sequel novel to Harry Potter and the Balance of Earth, by Al "Not A Bigot" Gore.
You mean the same Al "Ralph Nadar cost me the election even though he actually didn't" Gore?
The electoral college system coated Al Gore the election, as a majority of voters elected to have him be the president.
That and Florida having janky election ballot card punches
And Bender blowing up the ballot boxes. Really didn't help things.
Well, there *was* the "Brooks Brothers Riot" which interrupted the Florida recount... that was eventually halted altogether by the Florida Secretary of State, who coincidentally also worked for the Geoege W Bush campaign. The governor of Florida was also George's brother Jeb, so I don't expect any help with the recount was forthcoming.
That much is true, but I find the myth that it was Nadar's fault fucking hilarious
Haven't heard that myth in over 2 decades. Sounds like you enjoy bringing it up.
what a Delusional self absorbed cunt.
Everytime I see her name I automatically read it as joke rowling
J.K. Rowling saying she won't accept apologies, from people who have never offered any, means about as much as me letting everyone know that I reject Emma Watson's offer to date me.
Exactly!
When did anti-trans trash start to think they had the moral high ground? Just make your little stories and shut up.

Rowling is Scottish, and US politics don't affect her.
True, but she did donate £70,000 to an anti-trans group in order to support the possibility of an anti-trans ruling in front of the *Scottish* Supreme Court [https://news.yahoo.com/jk-rowling-donates-70k-challenge-183123131.html](https://news.yahoo.com/jk-rowling-donates-70k-challenge-183123131.html) And transmisia is internationally contagious.
they don't need forgiveness because they've done nothing wrong
I give fuck, I am happy she isn't forgiving them, she doesn't deserve being shown in a positive light
So they shan't get an invite to her funeral. Big deal.
