This thread is specifically for people who think JK Rowling is awful so..

[CurlewKate]

If you don't think she is please don’t post. Please can you tell me specifically what she has said or done that is so bad. I promise that I will listen and not argue. If you could include links that would be great. If your inclination is to assume that I’m posting in bad faith and any reasonably well informed person must be stupid or bigoted not to know, then please just let the thread die.

And she has devastated countless LGBT fans who thought, really believed, that she ‘saw’ them.

Leaving aside the conspiracy theory about 'Galbraith', nobody's wellbeing should depend on being 'seen' by a novelist they have never met.

If you genuinely cared about vulnerable people you would be much more concerned about the celebrities who exploit these relationships, at best making claims of love and allyship that can never be fulfilled, at worst behaving like Neil Gaiman.

The first strike novel was published in 2013.

No one would have blinked at the name until JKR started talking about wombs.

Its just another stick to beat her.

Not being keen on JK Rowling makes you sexist…?

😂

You could at least TRY and keep up with the thread.

Can JKR reduce the harm of her consumption without being perfect? Can she do some good in the world, or is she assigned to the baddies for being a human like the rest of us, i.e. flawed? Would you actually like her if she did everything her detractors demand she does?

I'm not a JKR fanboy - I have read better written books than she produces - but I am happy to defend her over the things she's not guilty of. She does have a sharp wit ("so sharp she'll cut herself") and I personally would prefer it if she restrained herself a bit more, but in her position I'd probably do worse.

So it’s not what she says but how she says it. So if she said
please pretty please can Robert have their sex based rights you’d like her more? Do you not think women tried that for years.

They’re very BUSY you know, they don’t have time to keep up!

I'd like to know the exact tone in which women are allowed to assert their sex based rights and the cessation of rape and death threats. What would be acceptable?

I have never read a JKRowling book.

Here’s JKR being spiky and unpleasant again.

Spiky and unpleasant? I see sarcasm which is all that nonsense deserves tbh. Maybe you were also being sarcastic?

Of course I was! It was in response to an earlier post by someone saying that JKR would be better off if she wasn’t so ‘spiky and unpleasant’.

😆

Out of interest, do men talk to men about pants?

Why on earth does this dipstick think women talk about their bras on twitter all the time?

Either he's Searching 'bra' and seeing what posts come up or he's actively following accounts which talk about bras more than is normal.

He seems to think transwomen talk about bras all the time which suggests he's following a lot of transwomen who do talk about bras a lot and he thinks this is normal. Which probably says a lot about him and the accounts he follows.

What he hasn't got is a clue about how actual women behave and thinks he's an authority on what they do. He's got an idea in his head about women are and what women do and thinks this fantasy is reality and then mansplains to us all what being a woman is. He thinks knows more than actual women.

Which is utterly hilarious.

But I don't think we are supposed to point out what a nitwit he is and JKR certainly isn't being she's mean and evil and should remain silent so she's not accused of using the wrong tone.

Meanwhile fuckwit blokes say shite like this.

I’ve always assumed that guy was a bit of a chaser of “trans women”. Just my impression.

He does hang around with them more than seems normal. It doesn't seem a passing 'i just happen to know a few people who happen to be trans' does it?

That guy is unhinged. I think he transed a child and now cannot cope with any commentary that's not total affirmation, 'stunning and brave', right side of history, etc, etc.

I think he another one who will never give up as he transed his kid

I’m not sure I want to think about that 👀

‘Women talk about bras’ no mate, we really don’t, creepy, obsessed men pretending to be women may talk about them but on the whole women don’t.

Sorry! I can't keep track of who's mocking and who's in agreement!

what exactly word for word did she say?

what does social medias tell you to think about jkr?

what do you think she said

need an honest answer to all three so I can make informed decisions which I no is wrong as I should just do what sm tells me to and think how sm tells me to think but I like to think for myself

Nobody is going to comply with the demands of the thread starter. It is simply provocative, as well as being down right ignorant.

You do realise that JK has been a major supporter of multiple charities that support both women and children for many, many years, as well as being a major donor to the Labour Party. ( The first woman ever to have donated a million pounds to Labour) Most of what she does is hidden and she seeks no publicity for it.

You ned to expand your awareness beyond the confines of the twiitersphere.

No, JK Rowling is simply a lighning rod for the hatred of other people. The same people who have not been able to tolerate disagreement or dissent for many years. Most haven't even bothered to read her 'original' post...the one supposedly so controversial. People simply bitch about her because that is what they do to pass the time.
