      Her money and her blind fans who continue to enable her and ignore the fact that she is a horrible person.

        Blind fans? I’ve never met anyone that was a fan of HP that wasn’t aware of who she is exactly, they either agree with her or choose to give her money anyway because they made HP their whole personality and can’t imagine reading any other set of books.

    I mean she has to be a troll at this point for attacking asexual people right? J.K. Trolling

    Like, it’s just people who don’t like sex, I don’t understand the hate? And I’m about as far from asexual as you can get.

      There are a strange amount of people who seem to hate the idea of asexuality and this unfortunately includes people from all swaths of life like the LGBTQ+ community. I’ve seen too many gay people say hurtful, and frankly hypocritical, things along the lines of asexuality not existing and being more akin to a disease. It seems that while more people have become aware and accepting of homosexuality, they still don’t understand asexuality and it scares them. Sad really. But luckily there are still lots of kind souls out there that will be accepting of anyone who’s accepting in return. Maybe they can show everyone else the way…

        Yeah, I’ve seen it from hypersexual people who seem to have unprocessed shame and need to believe their own behaviour is justified by being a universal human trait. The existence of asexuality threatens that.

        Honestly I don’t understand it. Most likely don’t. But it’s also it’s none of my business what consenting adults choose not to do.

        Really the arguments are no different to any sexual interest. As long as the people are happy and consenting adults. I do not need to understand.

      She hates asexual people for the same reason she hates transgender people, they’re not conforming to her view of normality.

    What the hell does the bottom post even mean? Is she saying she prefers segregated bathrooms? I knew she is a TERF but she’s apparently also racist?

      Not to defend her, but she’s saying that the ““woke”” crowd is saying what she’s saying is as bigoted as segregated bathrooms. She’s racist for entirely independent reasons

      For a professional writer you’d think she would know that a quotation (even a fictional one) requires quotation marks around it to make it clear to the reader that it’s not what you are saying but somebody else. Perhaps this makes more sense:

      Refusing to accept that people who don’t like sex belong in the gay category is akin to wanting segregated bathrooms in the 1950s, John,” as approximately a thousand gender activists will inform you once their hands stop literally shaking.

      She’s mocking the people who replied to her.

        Wow she really isn’t very good.

        How were we so starved for something that we latched onto her baloney?

        I don’t read it like a quote. She’s telling John an opinion (sarcastically) and then letting him know the activists will inform him the same thing. It’s not grammatically incorrect, just difficult to parse (which is still not the best writing).

    Harry Potter creator goes on rant about asexuals for some reason 🤷🏽‍♂️

    Because she is a homophobic piece of shit.

        More the Dursleys IMO. She hates the people who don’t conform to her view of normality.

      Homophobic? I thought she was just anti-trans.

      Either way, I’m very curious how the LGBT community views a wholly trans-phobic shit stain that simultaneously claims to support the gay community. I know just such a person and would like some insight from the community itself.

    Getting too much money reaaaaally fucks with your head. Becoming a billionaire should count as a brain injury.

      Eh. It’s more that you hear a lot about the nuts ones. Number 5 on the richest list is currently a guy named Bernard Arnault, who mostly French people know about, while the infamous Peter Thiel is at 129.

      Same story here. Rowling may or may not have a full billion, but she’s famous and good at getting rage views like this one.

    Irony is that the entire Harry Potter series is like discriminating against people for who they are is wrong.

      To be fair, I’m pretty sure the slave race of house elves continue being slaves because “they love being slaves”.

        Didn’t Hermione lead a campaign to liberate house elves but was laughed at by everyone until she dropped it?

        Then Harry frees one elf and is considered a hero while the person trying to solve the systemic problems is a whiny bitch. She’s showing how she thinks about the world with that one.

    Nowhere does it say fucking anything about oppression in the picture that she’s losing her shit about here. It’s something that she could’ve literally just scrolled past and gone on with her day. I’m so fucking sick of these people.
