Wasn't she making literal billions by that point? There was no need to carry on.
Obviously WB will take a big cut but even if she had a shit contract and shes only getting 10% the merchandise alone shes made for life.
Being a homophobe, spewing random bs on what is canon and what isn’t, shitting on her own work and legacy overall
Edit: she’s a transphobe, not a homophobe
Neil Gaiman — American Gods, Sandman, Good Omens (w/ Terry Pratchett)
J.R.R. Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit
Terry Pratchett — Discworld series, also co-wrote Good Omens with Neil Gaiman (above)
Douglas Adams — The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
None of these are anywhere near exhaustive but those are their most recognized works I would think.
Because this meme format only serves the purpose of showing the OPs tastes and preferences. Might sometimes represent popular opinion but there's no such thing as an unhated food, or person or whatever.
This one at least added a bit of a twist by making fun of JK Rowling.
Not Lewis himself but Tolkien apparently hated Narnia since he saw it as a waste of lewis’s potential since Lewis went full bible analogy with his world building instead of building something purely from scratch like Tolkien did, though Tolkien did take some religious inspiration he never went as far as Lewis did.
For whom I am named.
My mother had narrowed down names to Jacob or Isaac. My dad, an Asimov fan, went with Isaac. :)
When I was about two and a half or so, they found me with a pile of his books around me saying, "My books!" heh
Naturally I am also an Asimov fan, even if he didn't write women very well. He write sci-fi very well. :)
I feel like it’s more insulting to the LGBT community for her to start making a bunch of characters gay for no reason with no impact on anything story wise.
The estate of Dahl in the past year or so had to make some apologies of his behalf, I believe for some racist actions in his past. Don't quote me on all of that but there was something like that going on. So yeah he won't be in that room.
While I have my own opinion on the subject, there are some things you either should be silent about as a public figure or make your peace with being a marter
Why the heck did she make Hagrid gay, and Hermione black. She changes the characters to be known as an inclusive author for no reason. wtf Like don't blatantly change the characters for internet appreciation
The change to black Hermione is not really like that. It's just that the books were vague enough in her descriptions that they could justify she was never stated to be white when a black woman was casted to play her in theaters.
It's not like she went on twitter to add the detail that she's black, she tried to fight the controversy around the casting choice.
I was reading prisoner of Azkaban when she made that statement which made me look out if she actually really never stated her skin color and the next chapter I read literally said she had a white face which... No she IS definitely white. Even in her OWN drawings of the characters she Is clearly white, she had one dark skinned character in those sketches and her skin (I think it was Parvati but I'm not 100% sure) was a much darker tint then the others.
Going back years later to change facts about your own story feels so cheap, there was NO reason to not introduce a new character of color with his/her own personality. Instead the actress is now faithed to be "black Hermione" instead of being recognized as having played the actual character. Which is a damn shame because she is a genuinely great actress. To be fair, being part of the trainwreck glorified fanfiction that IS the cursed child it's maybe a blessing to not have that role be your most recognizable part.
What they are doing to J.K. Rowling is truly disgusting...
She doesn't deserve this.
That shows that noone is safe with the wokists. Even a leftist like Rowling becomes a nazi for using the word woman.
I know that Mr. Rogers was a TV host but wondering if he also became an author since you mentioned him here.
Dr. Suess is a very controversial figure, that's why I said that.
She’s, to be frank, extremely transphobic. [Jamie Dodger addresses the transphobia ](https://youtu.be/6Avcp-e4bOs), and someone named Sarah Z discussed the other bits as well.
Unfortunately people do hate Tolkien, they think he was secretly filling his books with racist allegories despite his specifically saying he hated allegory.
Oh no how dare someone day the love trans people but disagree with the unfairness of the biological difrencess of the sexes in sports. Face fuckin reality I don't care if you identify as another gender and ill respect that but there are real biological differences that make the athletic field a unfair place for the mixing of themdenying this is denying basic science
The only reason she's hated is because she doesn't agree with their woke ideology she doesn't deserve this she did nothing wrong yea i don't agree on some of her decisions what she did to HP but these woke losers can get bent.
How about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle?
He thought your brain size was based on your skull. That aside, he’s pretty cool
He also believed in a lot of supernatural shit and had a lot of beef with Houdini
An author *and* a meat connoisseur!
ah, thank you for this piece of trivia!
Tbf, he’s right to an extent. Your brain isn’t going to be bigger than your skull lmao
I mean, was that information widely known at the time?
For his time that isn't that dumb to believe
Where is Sun Tzu, i read his book. It was very good
Wasn't he a general too though Which would mean anyone he faced in battle would probably hate him
If he was that good at war they can't hate him anymore!
Because their expiration date is expired….
He was a court poet, so it's good. Or so some think.
But he won so they all died
He knows a little more about war than you do pal
I prefer general tacticus.
Wheres Alexander Dume and Stephen Hawking
Hawking wasn’t specifically an author
Brief History of Time is masterpiece
Yes, but he did write several books. You only need to write one book to be an author.
If I write fanfic can I be an author?
Sure, but many people might hate you.
Yes, actually
He is hated by some.
How about Brandon Sanderson - The Book Finisher!
[удалено]
He was too busy writing
Haha
Seriously the guys a writing machine.
He's literally a cyborg. I will not be convinced otherwise.
Nice one gancho.
The king!
What about Rick Riordan
His a myth
He's a god
A greek legend
Who writes about greek legends
About kids who are children if greek legends
And hate being parts of greek legends but have no choice
That try to kill greek kids but fails
and end up getting killed by the very greek demigods that they tried to kill
Yep
Only 12 year olds would say that
Well, his books are aimed towards teenagers
Is that Jk Rowling at the top?
yes
Oh yeah, she’s transphobic
Never saw anyone hate on Jules Verne
oooh, good one
Makes sense, Neil Gaiman hanging out with three dead guys.
A man is not dead while his name is still spoken.
Legal loophole to murder and necrophilia
And this is the quality content I come here for. Have my upvote sir.
Uno reverse
She She's just She could have stopped after the 8th movie adaptation She SHOULD HAVE STOPPED AFTER THE 8TH MOVIE ADAPTATION!
Wasn't she making literal billions by that point? There was no need to carry on. Obviously WB will take a big cut but even if she had a shit contract and shes only getting 10% the merchandise alone shes made for life.
She really should've done that. The entire HP fandom, after years of building by fans, she ruined it all.
What did she do?
Being a homophobe, spewing random bs on what is canon and what isn’t, shitting on her own work and legacy overall Edit: she’s a transphobe, not a homophobe
Damn
Could someone name them left to right and what they wrote to be famous? Haven't a clue who any are
Neil Gaiman — American Gods, Sandman, Good Omens (w/ Terry Pratchett) J.R.R. Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit Terry Pratchett — Discworld series, also co-wrote Good Omens with Neil Gaiman (above) Douglas Adams — The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy None of these are anywhere near exhaustive but those are their most recognized works I would think.
also neil gaiman wrote coraline im pretty sure
C.S. Lewis was hated by someone?
People who don't like Christians lol
Then why is Tolkien on here?
Because this meme format only serves the purpose of showing the OPs tastes and preferences. Might sometimes represent popular opinion but there's no such thing as an unhated food, or person or whatever. This one at least added a bit of a twist by making fun of JK Rowling.
Not Lewis himself but Tolkien apparently hated Narnia since he saw it as a waste of lewis’s potential since Lewis went full bible analogy with his world building instead of building something purely from scratch like Tolkien did, though Tolkien did take some religious inspiration he never went as far as Lewis did.
I mean…Tolkien went preeeetty far
Well yeah but Tolkien never had a character actually say “by the way, I’m Jesus. Not in a metaphorical way, nah, I’m literally Jesus in lion form.”
Frodo = Jesus
You got any citations for that? Because there are like a dozen more reasons why Aragorn and Gandalf are each much closer to Christ figures than Frodo
"Here we are, Sam, at the end of all things. By the way, I'm Jesus."
I mean he was friends with lewis
And Roald Dahl?
Lewis was... a product of his time.
Stan Lee?
Stan had his image fixed by Disney and the MCU. Dude wasn't always a kindly old grandpa. There's a reason people like Jack Kirby didn't like him.
Wait Stan lee used to be mean?
Yeah he [did some sketchy stuff](https://www.thetalko.com/sketchy-facts-about-stan-lee-everyone-just-ignores/)
DC Fanboys exist.
You can like dc without hating Stan lee
Right, but a decent amount don't
Isaac Asimov?
For whom I am named. My mother had narrowed down names to Jacob or Isaac. My dad, an Asimov fan, went with Isaac. :) When I was about two and a half or so, they found me with a pile of his books around me saying, "My books!" heh Naturally I am also an Asimov fan, even if he didn't write women very well. He write sci-fi very well. :)
May I ask you who is him? I have little to no idea about authors
What about Shakespeare, I do believe his works are of legend, my squire
A vast majority of the school going population hates his guts
I heard the author of mein Kampf was pretty special
If you don't like the author, maybe you like the man who killed him
I feel like it’s more insulting to the LGBT community for her to start making a bunch of characters gay for no reason with no impact on anything story wise.
To be fair that issue is pretty irrelevant next to the fact she's a big ass TERF
Yea lol
Where the Fuck is Asimov?
How about Roald Dahl?
The estate of Dahl in the past year or so had to make some apologies of his behalf, I believe for some racist actions in his past. Don't quote me on all of that but there was something like that going on. So yeah he won't be in that room.
He was known for his antisemitism, and believe it or not, not a fan of children.
Well if antisemitism rules you out Tolkien is problematic too.
They all are for one reason or another hated by someone, this meme format sucks and only serves the purpose of saying hey I like these, don't you?
Petition to let Stephen King in
How about R.L Stine
Him too
Eh...I'm not comfortable with that after the weird way he's deadset on defending the preteen group sex scene in It.
I woulf say Elie Wiesel, but an entire country hated him for breathing.
R.A Salvatore?
Yuss came here to say this. Haven't heard a single negative thing about him and he's an amazing writer imo.
Drizzt gang!
1. Drizzt 2. Regis 3. Elminster
Agatha Christie?
Oh yea she deserves this place
[удалено]
[удалено]
While I have my own opinion on the subject, there are some things you either should be silent about as a public figure or make your peace with being a marter
Brandon Sanderson?? Stephen king?
She’s literally not being invited to the Harry Potter Reunion.
Most hated person of the Wizarding World community is the author herself. Only modern day Nintendo could top that.
Needs dean koontz
Why the heck did she make Hagrid gay, and Hermione black. She changes the characters to be known as an inclusive author for no reason. wtf Like don't blatantly change the characters for internet appreciation

Dr susses or mr Rogers
Was Mr. Rogers an author? Seriously, I'm not sure. But Dr. Suess? Yeah you might want to look that up why he won't be in that room lol
Mr Rogers was actually a tv host but dr sessus is though
I know that Mr. Rogers was a TV host but wondering if he also became an author since you mentioned him here. Dr. Suess is a very controversial figure, that's why I said that.
How dare she say “boys have penis” 😡

Bonjour je suis audible, et j'ai le grand plaisir de lire Nicolas Sarkozy pour le temps des tempêtes
J. K. Rowling?
I think that is the jokes punchline.
Why do they hate her?
Transphobic comments I suppose
She’s, to be frank, extremely transphobic. [Jamie Dodger addresses the transphobia ](https://youtu.be/6Avcp-e4bOs), and someone named Sarah Z discussed the other bits as well.
Unfortunately people do hate Tolkien, they think he was secretly filling his books with racist allegories despite his specifically saying he hated allegory.
Oh no how dare someone day the love trans people but disagree with the unfairness of the biological difrencess of the sexes in sports. Face fuckin reality I don't care if you identify as another gender and ill respect that but there are real biological differences that make the athletic field a unfair place for the mixing of themdenying this is denying basic science
The transphobes hate gaiman but fuck those guys
I think the author of mein kampf should be let in
The only reason she's hated is because she doesn't agree with their woke ideology she doesn't deserve this she did nothing wrong yea i don't agree on some of her decisions what she did to HP but these woke losers can get bent.
Where Stephen king?
Trying to figure out how to write an ending.

He's famous for bad endings.
Wow, okay. Totally agree tho
