There's been a spate of threads recently about things JK Rowling has shamefully failed to comment on. Wouldn't it be easier to put them all in a single thread?

I'll start.

JK Rowling has shamefully failed to comment on the Manchester City fraud scandal.

Has she ever actually comment on haggis?

I’ve not heard it.

Actually she might have commented about it but if I haven’t heard her comment because we are not actual people who know each other in real life, then does it even count.

I’m so self absorbed that I think she should be saying things in my orbit so that they count as things she has said.

I had to pay £2 for diesel today - why hasn't JKR tweeted about this travesty?!

Pleasantsort2 · 05/10/2026 18:39

She hasn't mentioned wance that ye cannae get pakora oot takeaways doon these parts. Selfish wummin. Jist cos she lives in Scotland, where pakora is plentiful.

Just joining this thread again after a shit day at work and it seems that the supremely wealthy cigar smoking one has shamefully refused to comment on really important stuff affecting so many women. My day just got shittier - thanks for nothing Jo.

Yeh, she's not even bothered to comment on this thread!

She's ignoring us!

Validate us JKR! Please!

Loving this thread. All the recalcitrant women here are cheering me up no end.

That can be arranged... <evil cackle>

(I need more cash. Glad took all I had...I'll be back)

Ooops, I haven’t collected it yet. I need a more obvious clue giving me its location. Perhaps a capybara was sitting on the right place when I looked.

Edit: all is explained. Kitty got there first. I don’t feel bound to keep anything secret now. Do you have anything else to bribe me with, Angel?

It's where we put all the TRA trolls so they can scream as much bigoted misogyny as they like without us having to actually listen to it. Triple soundproofed, obviously.

Are you referring to the 'as GC as they come' trolls? 🤭

A propos your gerbil inspired pottery Shedmistress, may I suggest you invest in a mac with lots of pockets inside, hang around outside the Bluestocking, and accost the regulars asking 'Psssst - wanna buy some gerbil-inspired pottery?'

In no time at all you'll have made enough money to buy yourself a yacht and chase JRK around the Caribbean with a loud-hailer, reminding her of all the things she has not commented on, and expressing a wish that a brisk north-easterly blow* cigar ash into her glass of brandy, because she deserves it, the monster.

*I dithered a bit about that - blows or blow? I felt it should be a subjunctive. Apologies to exquisitely finely-attuned pedants if I got it wrong😄

edited - again with the fecking random asterisks - just stop doing it, JKR, it's not big and it's not clever😠

Needapadlockonmyfridge · 05/10/2026 19:59

She has no conscience.

I had a substitution in my online shop that I didn't want.

This travesty is happening daily, up and down the land., causing untold stress and misery.

But not a word of comment or commiseration.

Wishesandhorses · 05/10/2026 20:18

I also was managing tolerance and kindness until I heard about the gerbil inspired pottery.

Nothing on X. Not an interview. Who knows what the woman's opinion might be on this crucial matter!

Fgs JK where is your conscience??

I saw a woman buying mince pies at my local supermarket today 😳

I know someone who's already eaten a box of them 😲 The world is going to hell in a handcart.

Royal Mail have updated dog food delivery to say they can't even be bothered to deliver it today. JKR must address this serious turn of events immediately. Will nobody think of my poor starving dog?

After that photo? I shall think of nothing else...

Was probably JKR, she's a wrong 'un.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 05/10/2026 20:25

I hold her personally responsible for the roadworks that have been going on near our house for far too long.

Not one supportive tweet from her.

KittyWilkinson · 05/10/2026 20:30

She hasn't congratulated Lacksie on his never ending fake legal opinions on the Sandi Peggie threads.

EmpressaurusKitty · 05/10/2026 20:31

JKR has said NOTHING about the fly tipping problem in my area.

Nothing. I don’t think she even cares.

I’m fumming. Fumming, I tell you.

Giggorata · 05/10/2026 20:34

She obviously didn’t give a fig about my leaking shower, still less of one about us having to have baths for a week.
And now it's been repaired - has she commented?
No.

Boiledbeetle · 05/10/2026 20:38

She has shamefully refused to comment on my toenail clippings collection that I sent her for her birthday.

nicepotoftea · 05/10/2026 13:05

I don't want to alarm you, but there will be people already eating mince pies before Halloween.

The silence from Rowling is deafening.

I ate a mini Christmas pudding last month.

To be fair it had been in the cupboard since 2021, it had waited long enough for its moment of glory.

Did Joanne comment on my slovenly ways with best before dates... no she did not.

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 05/10/2026 20:48

My laptop backpack has started to look a bit shabby. I’ll probably have to go to an actual shop to buy a new one. Support vacuum from Joanne on this upsetting state of affairs, obvs

tillyandmilly · 05/10/2026 20:50

I bought mince pies from Cook - they are delicious!

You've seen her pottery Marie.

fridaynightzzz · 05/10/2026 20:56

It’s 40 years since Bros formed, has she said anything, was she even a Brosette?

Canadanian · 05/10/2026 21:14

I can see you’re all having a lovely time, and of course JKR can’t be expected to either pay for or comment on every issue….

BUT she has specifically positioned herself as a campaigner for women’s safety and dignity. Does it HONESTLY not give you a moment’s pause as to her actual motivation when something truly horrendous happens and there’s an opportunity to speak out whilst people are listening and their attention is on women’s safety and violent men…. and she says nothing 🤷‍♀️ versus how she reacts if a trans person criticises her?

I think she truly did care about women once upon a time, but that’s taken second place now to being ‘right’, and an absolute fixation on trans people.
