She's such a hateful bigot, isn't she?

JK Rowling has donated £1 million of royalties from one of her children’s books to help fight the Covid-19 crisis in India.

The Harry Potter author is understood to have split the sum between two UK-based charities involved in relief work, including the provision of emergency oxygen supplies.

We already have had an inkling I fear....

What an wonderful woman. Thank you JKR for your charitable efforts and your storytelling.

heathspeedwell · 17/05/2021 10:31

Rowling is such a force for good in the world.

I wonder how PN will try to spin this to make her sound bad?

WorkingItOutAsIGo · 17/05/2021 10:30

Well done JKR. Your generosity is astounding and actually highlights that I haven’t done anything to help the Indian response, so am going to make a donation in your name too.

PineappleCakes · 17/05/2021 10:28

I love JKR, she is both great words and deeds ♥️

@cripez

Hitler loved his animals but he still went all out on creating the perfect race. Still evil.

Would be nice if, one day, she directed a small amount of her wealth, not even a tenth of the amount mentioned above, to supporting trans kids and their families.

Wouldn't kill her.

Are you really comparing JRK to Hilter? Fucking hell.

How do you know she doesn’t?

@HecatesCatsInFancyHats

I wish she would just BE KIND for once!
Do you mean BE KIND in the ‘yelling it at everyone else but not doing anything about it yourself’ way

Or the actual being kind way and doing kind things

IDontLikeMondays88 · 17/05/2021 10:24

@cripez you do realise that people have free choice to donate to whichever charities they please? Or should there be mandated donations to trans charities?

Helleofabore · 17/05/2021 10:24

Tell you what cripez. You write to her and ask her to donate to your chosen charity and make sure that you explain why those charities are far more deserving than the one she chooses. (You know, like trying to provide medicine and equipment to India at a time when covid is causing massive loss of life...)

A hint though, don’t tell her you compared her to Hitler on MN or you might not get the reaction you want. But, from personal experience, her team does respond to emails so you never know.

I wish she'd use some wealth to promote Godwin's Law. I miss Godwin's Law.

FlibbertyGiblets · 17/05/2021 10:24

Godwin's Law is a beautiful thing to see in the wild.

Evil woman.

I heard somewhere that she was once in a room with someone who doesn't like puppies too.

Ooh making up rediculous statements is actually quite fun!!!

Anyhow, well done that woman, she really is impressive.

LizzieSiddal · 17/05/2021 10:22

JKR is an awesome woman.

No matter how hysterical the TRAs get, the fact she’s loved and admired by millions, will never change.

Hitler! My god the idiocy.

Yes please let that stand MNHQ, it’s good to see how the TRAs really think.

FunnyWonder · 17/05/2021 10:19

Blooming heck ... Hitler? I've heard it all now. Have a word with yerself.

FlibbertyGiblets · 17/05/2021 10:19

A magnificent gift.
Well done JK Rowling.

Note: Please HQ don't remove the post by Cripez that compares JKR with Hitler, thank you.
