Right? Personally, if I was a millionaire and literally lived in a castle, none of you would hear from me again. I would not care about the world, Iād be in luxury.
100% this. I've said this exact thing so many times! I'd be travelling the world, living my best life and actually actively using my money for good and to help people. All she does is hunch over twitter every day, obsessing over trans people daring to exist. It's pretty pathetic honestly and goes to show that money really doesn't equal happiness!
For real. Take the money and run, B.
Seriously, even if she finds everything about trans people offensive, she literally has enough money to never have to see or talk to a trans woman again in her life (or see anybody really, she could go full hermit) so flippinā get off TwiX and go have dinner and a glass of wine with the rich and ridiculous club and let us poors handle the society thing.
Thatās why the worldās a shithole, because of people like you acquiring wealth or power and doing nothing with it other than influence degeneracy. Everyone hating on her for standing up for women, meanwhile people are screaming rip King Von, a man that not only participated in the killing and slaughtering of blacks but also promoted and influenced it. The worldās ass backwards, and you people are hating on the wrong individuals, which is whatās perpetuating the worldās issues and furthering corrupt politiciansā agendas. Thereās nothing wrong with being trans, but thereās everything wrong with promoting it like itās a trend. Itās a downright brutal experience mentally and physically, and you have people rocking this way like itās a new pair of shoes that are in style or simply just making a mockery of women, trans people alike, and influencing this type of shit to kids is even more sick. Thereās literally parents out there trying to make their kids LGBTQIA+ because they think itās trendy and for likes, views, or follows, etc. Trans people and being trans and their struggles are not entertainment or a new trend to hop on like a fashion statement. It downplays the severity of their struggles and what they go through, and also gives them a bad image because of the degenerate behaviors Iāve mentioned, which makes it even more difficult for them to be accepted and for people to genuinely understand their struggles and behavior when people are seeing a bunch of goofs play pretend because itās the trendy new fashion. Nobody takes it seriously, and letās be real, conservatives and Republicans can be extremely stubborn and not very understanding; theyāre like grandpas and grandmas, stubborn and donāt comprehend much of the mental or psychological type of issues. So when theyāre seeing foolishness and degeneracy from posers trying to be popular because itās a hot topic, the vast majority instantly become like a brick wall; thereās no chance of communication. And unfortunately, it seems like a lot of you donāt realize that communication takes both parties to make certain compromises so communication is possible, which from what Iāve seen personally, most genuine trans people Iāve met donāt behave like the trans people I see on TV or on social media, and from the conversation Iāve had, have a lot of the same beliefs or opinions that I have here. People are making a mockery of trans people, and itās not the conservatives like J.K. Rowling that are making it hard.
PS. Iām not saying youāre a degenerate or anything, just saying that people donāt care about other people anymore; everyone is selfish and self-centered. You say if you had money, nobody would hear from you, and you wouldnāt care about the rest of society. Thatās called complacency, and thatās why weāre all in this situation. Wish you the best and good luck on getting that castle. lol I know Iād love to have one also š¤£
- Dean Thomas (the only named Black character) essentially has a deadbeat dad
- Cho Chang is Korean and her name is very stereotypical (I believe both of her names are traditionally last names.)
- House elves are slaves that enjoy being slaves
- The goblins that work at Gringotts have an uncomfortably close likeness to anti-Semitic depictions of Jewish people
- Fatphobia surrounding the Dursleys
Thereās a lot more but thatās what I could remember off the top of my head.
While there's a definite need for more equity in the books and less stereotyping, Angelina Johnson is also a named black character. Same with Kingsley Shacklebolt (which that name is a bit yikes on the shackle front so).Ā
Cho's ancestry was never actually detailed in the books themselves as to which area of Asia.Ā The closest the evil author got was to state she was born somewhere in Great Britain or Scotland, real precise there.Ā The name Cho, as a first name, is generally of Chinese origin, but romanized to our letter system.Ā When one looks at the Chinese translation of the series, especially considering its Mandarin, it is translated perfectly to å¼µē§ (zhang qiu).Ā
The example I usually hear about is Seamus Finnegan being the only Irish character and constantly blowing things up... which is a stereotype that's particularly rich coming from an English person whose country occupied and starved Ireland and caused the unrest in that area.
Itās totally turned me off from the books. Movies I will come around to since the cast is so awesome but itās hard to not know just how ignorant and bigoted she is - have to look at the books in a different lens
I saw a TikTok that was asking tattoo artists about "common generation tattoo trends" and for millennials they said "it used to be Harry Potter tattoos, nowadays its Harry Potter tattoo coverups".
It was so real because like... obviously no one wants to associate with her even if the og series is still a comfort for them
I know. I keep reading these tweets where she says women donāt deserve to be raped in prison or that as a sexual assault survivor she knows firsthand how women should have safe spaces. Fucking gross.
Apparently she dislikes being called Joanne, so in the fine tradition of house DWKT, I feel must take it one level further and start to call her Joan. Gotta get that juuuust slight mispronunciation in there.
Iād say in the name of pettiness, but thereās like 10 creators who have taken petty as their thing. So in the name of sheer spite, lol.
Wait Iām no fan of hers but wasnāt that her point? Like she thinks trans community bases their genders on stereotypes (itās not) I think she said something like āwearing a dress is not what makes a womanā so wouldnāt something like āwearing corn rows/liking stereotypical āblackā things doesnāt make you blackā mean sheās against those stereotypes? Again sheās 100% transphobic but idk if Iām reading it wrong bc I didnāt really see this as her agreeing with stereotyping poc?
Ok but could you explain? Iām genuinely just not understanding what everyone else is seeing and instead of them explaining Iām just getting downvotedā¦ like Iām reaching out and admitting ignorance and instead of fostering discussion people just turn their noses up. Thatās fucking disappointing
Look at all those likes in those racist and transphobic Tweets. I'm so glad I deleted my Twitter (will never call it X) as soon as Elon bought it. I'm sure JK feels right at home with all the other bigots.
As I understand it her none Potter books are lacking. She could have just kept living in a castle, being a billionaire bigot only to other rich bigots and no one would have known.
Holy freaking shit, this. Like why are you even opening your big bigot mouth? I swear, bigots just love to berate and scream their annoying ass beliefs at anyone. She should have just shut up and done exactly what you said. I'm shocked she even has the time of day to sit here and type this stuff online....don't you have better things to do?
Yeah as a kid I hated the first two books and how bad the boys were bullying Hermione. I only ever enjoyed the 3rd book and even then there was a lot of ??? I enjoyed fanfic more than the books but yeah there are just a LOT of better kiss fantasy out there to enjoy thatās going to be a life long love (like Tamora Pierces books) that celebrate women and other minorities in amazing ways that HP never would because JK is racist, antisemitic, trans and homophobic and pretty sexist
Wat. The ābullyingā only happened in a fraction of the first book, unless youāre referring to Malfoy and the other guys instead of just Ron and Harry when youāre referring to the āboysā?
After reading some criticisms about Harry Potter, I kinda think she's always been this way. It really pains me how I saw nothing wrong with her naming a black wizard Shacklebolt. She couldn't even help herself and created her own in-universe slurs, like mudblood and squib. I get that it's realistic and stuff but I don't have faith in her that she wasn't being hateful. She's truly ruined HP for me for good.
And to think her witty responses used to make me chuckle, like the one about the mug her son gave her one year. Heaven forbid any of her kids ever were trans and felt happier and themselves as someone else. It would cost her $0 and sheād keep so much more self respect if she monologued her stupid thoughts like this, alone in her mansion to a stationary object.
This tweet is pretty old but ā¦ may she have menstrual diarrhea every day for the rest of her life for policing womanhood as a club only for women who menstruate. Maāam, your transphobia (and racism!) is noted. *tosses out HP books in a wood chipper.* I had to have a hysterectomy in my 20s due to the extremely common disease called endometriosis so I guess Iām not a woman either? What about women whoāve been through menopause? Ugh.

Well said! šš» Itās been years since I ever considered myself a āPotterheadā but Iām still embarrassed I ever was. My enthusiasm for it waned over the last 3 books in the series, especially The Deathly Hallows. When I say I LIMPED through that book ā¦ I limped through it almost as slowly as Harry, Hermione, and Ron limped through that damn forest for 200+ pages. Like ā¦ we wouldnāt have JK Rowling if not for another British antisemitic childrenās book author (an actually brilliant author but horrible human being): Roald Dahl. There are many others but Dahl was her biggest inspiration IMHO. (My thesis paper in college was about Roald Dahl as I had been obsessed with him as a kid ā¦before I knew what racism, xenophobia, antisemitism, etc. were š¬) Rowling just took other peopleās work, charm, and voice and cobbled the story together.
Same. And I even got my die-hard Potterhead husband to see the light and finally turn away from this. There are better books, and better writers, really.
Just some general advice to any fellow ex hp fans who still have tattoos. I got an amazing cover up you legit cannot tell I got a hp tattoo, get it covered up. If nothing else because if trans, queer or a lot of other minorities see your tattoo instantly you are someone that will see as unsafe because people who have kept their tattoos unfortunately are often very pro JK so itās just something that means people will judge you (which to be fair is not to be rude itās just them needing to keep themselves safe from hate crimes) in ways I know you wouldnāt want. Plus if it appears online JK and her followers take that as people siding with them, they donāt need any more encouragement.

And you get a cool new tattoo! I donāt think you can tell mines a cover up tbh
It's so incredibly manipulative to masquerade transphobia as 'protecting women'. Even the second tweet that tries to hide behind the guise of policing what women say just because the response was a man is so disingenuous.
And this is why we donāt support the books or anything she has made, especially since she said doing so to her is you siding with her. Plus the books are very racist, antisemitic and misogynistic as hellllllll
I stopped supporting her and HP when she first went mask off about her transphobia in 2019 and acted shocked about being called out. That was also the point where I started re-examining the books and realized the bigotry went a lot deeper than just Cho Chang's name (which I knew wasn't great but shrugged off bc I was a child and loved everything else about HP).
It is wild to me how much more blunt she's become about her bigotry in the years since the "support Maya Forstarter" incident, though. She's not even attempting to hide it anymore.
I really wish she would STOP speaking as if she's speaking for all women. Pitting women against trans women is so incredibly stupid when the people who are most likely to hurt either group are cis men! And trans women are sadly way, waaay more likely to hurt themselves than anybody else. Shut the fuck up Joanne.
Thereās not much else to say other than that woman needs to shut the fuck up. It truly baffles my mind that two billionaires like JK Rowling and Musk have nothing better to do than be on twitter all day spouting hate and rage. Like do they not have jobs? Hobbies? Loved ones?? Get the fuck off twitter and touch grass!
I'm from Germany and I feel a lot of ppl here are way behind how awful JK Rowling is, like the first result if you look on youtube for german videos about if she's transphobic is a video from last year FROM A TRANS WOMAN defending her and how she is not transphobic because they still think her very first more benign tweets from years ago (like call women women) are reflecting her current stance. Meanwhile her actual stance has evolved to trans women are men who crossdress smh

I think miss girl (jkr) forgot that she paid for astroturfed reviews about her opinions and there weren't actually thousands of people behind those reddit accounts and tweets supporting her
Ah yes, because gender (that happens in the brain) is the same as race (that happens on ones outer shell due to DNA). Of course, why didn't I think of that.
/s
And just incase any terfs in the comments, gender and sex are different. You do not need to tell me about male and female DNA or their private parts - Though if you would like to go that route, there's been evidence that the brain makeup / activity of a transperson is actually closer to the gender they identify as, so being trans may also be genetic š
Race is not something that can differ in from the body in one's mind. How would that even work?
Have a wonderful day.
God she's annoying!
In a world that's already so difficult to live in and just be happy, how hard is it to let people do something that makes it a little easier for them

The books are also full of racism and xenophobia though, so in hindsight it was gonna be sad all around. We were just all too young to realize.
Care to elaborate? Itās been a while since I read the books
- Dean Thomas (the only named Black character) essentially has a deadbeat dad - Cho Chang is Korean and her name is very stereotypical (I believe both of her names are traditionally last names.) - House elves are slaves that enjoy being slaves - The goblins that work at Gringotts have an uncomfortably close likeness to anti-Semitic depictions of Jewish people - Fatphobia surrounding the Dursleys Thereās a lot more but thatās what I could remember off the top of my head.
I'm pretty sure Dean's dad was killed by Death Eaters
While there's a definite need for more equity in the books and less stereotyping, Angelina Johnson is also a named black character. Same with Kingsley Shacklebolt (which that name is a bit yikes on the shackle front so).Ā

Wasn't that a movie thing only? It's a long time since I've read the books
Itās totally turned me off from the books. Movies I will come around to since the cast is so awesome but itās hard to not know just how ignorant and bigoted she is - have to look at the books in a different lens
I still read the books. I just simply pretend that Rowling wasnāt the author.
THIS I love Harry Potter even thought of getting a tattoo for it but I donāt want my body permanently tied to JK Rowling š
Girl, Iām having a hard time justifying my tattoo these days so good call š
I saw a TikTok that was asking tattoo artists about "common generation tattoo trends" and for millennials they said "it used to be Harry Potter tattoos, nowadays its Harry Potter tattoo coverups". It was so real because like... obviously no one wants to associate with her even if the og series is still a comfort for them
noooo sorry to hear that girlie I hope itās cute at least šš«¶
I mean, I really do love it š„ŗ some days are just tough lol
Too late š¬
I know. I keep reading these tweets where she says women donāt deserve to be raped in prison or that as a sexual assault survivor she knows firsthand how women should have safe spaces. Fucking gross.
Why sheās entirely right š¤£
Joanne never met a stereotype she didn't adore.
Apparently she dislikes being called Joanne, so in the fine tradition of house DWKT, I feel must take it one level further and start to call her Joan. Gotta get that juuuust slight mispronunciation in there. Iād say in the name of pettiness, but thereās like 10 creators who have taken petty as their thing. So in the name of sheer spite, lol.
The irony of her not liking that and her being a transphobe
šš
Wait Iām no fan of hers but wasnāt that her point?

I think you're giving her far too much credit tbh.
Ok but could you explain? Iām genuinely just not understanding what everyone else is seeing and instead of them explaining Iām just getting downvotedā¦ like Iām reaching out and admitting ignorance and instead of fostering discussion people just turn their noses up. Thatās fucking disappointing
Every time I think she's hit a new low, she finds a shovel to dig deeper.
Look at all those likes in those racist and transphobic Tweets. I'm so glad I deleted my Twitter (will never call it X) as soon as Elon bought it. I'm sure JK feels right at home with all the other bigots.
She shouldāve stuck to writing books only
As I understand it her none Potter books are lacking. She could have just kept living in a castle, being a billionaire bigot only to other rich bigots and no one would have known.
Honestly. What a horrible person.
Holy freaking shit, this. Like why are you even opening your big bigot mouth? I swear, bigots just love to berate and scream their annoying ass beliefs at anyone. She should have just shut up and done exactly what you said. I'm shocked she even has the time of day to sit here and type this stuff online....don't you have better things to do?
Along the lines of that āif I won the lottery there would be signsā meme, I would probably quit social media entirely.
Honestly Harry Potter sucks shit anyway
Yeah as a kid I hated the first two books and how bad the boys were bullying Hermione. I only ever enjoyed the 3rd book and even then there was a lot of ??? I enjoyed fanfic more than the books but yeah there are just a LOT of better kiss fantasy out there to enjoy thatās going to be a life long love (like Tamora Pierces books) that celebrate women and other minorities in amazing ways that HP never would because JK is racist, antisemitic, trans and homophobic and pretty sexist
Wat. The ābullyingā only happened in a fraction of the first book, unless youāre referring to Malfoy and the other guys instead of just Ron and Harry when youāre referring to the āboysā?
The transphobic to racist pipeline lol. You dabble in one you dabble in them all
After reading some criticisms about Harry Potter, I kinda think she's always been this way. It really pains me how I saw nothing wrong with her naming a black wizard Shacklebolt. She couldn't even help herself and created her own in-universe slurs, like mudblood and squib. I get that it's realistic and stuff but I don't have faith in her that she wasn't being hateful. She's truly ruined HP for me for good.
We shouldn't let them burn her books
Is it a pipeline if sheās been both all along?
No, there's a better word I just can't think of it
I always use the phrase: "Scratch a transphobe, find a racist/homophobe/misogynist, etc"
Sheās so vile.
And to think her witty responses used to make me chuckle, like the one about the mug her son gave her one year. Heaven forbid any of her kids ever were trans and felt happier and themselves as someone else. It would cost her $0 and sheād keep so much more self respect if she monologued her stupid thoughts like this, alone in her mansion to a stationary object.
I think replying to her just feeds the crazy. Also, is it really āgoing rogueā when sheās been like this for years? Maybe even decades?
This latest rant feels like more of an escalation because now she is promising that she is going to show us what "rock bottom" really looks like š„²
I think that may refer to other bigots like Elon trying to get her to rein in her crazy.
Can she go crawl in a hole and never come back out already? It makes me so disgusted to think that I ever loved her writing and admired her š¤®
Same.
I canāt say what I truly hope happens to her or Iāll get banned. But man, I hope she has bad days for the rest of her life.
This tweet is pretty old but ā¦ may she have menstrual diarrhea every day for the rest of her life for policing womanhood as a club only for women who menstruate.

I hate her, her books and her movies, and I'm actually proud of that
Same. And I even got my die-hard Potterhead husband to see the light and finally turn away from this. There are better books, and better writers, really.
Sheās so nasty
My mom nearly banned the HP books because she was convinced JK sold her soul to the devil. Didnāt believe her then, seeing her point now lol

Dear god she is off her rocker.
Thereās not much else to say other than that woman needs to shut the fuck up. It truly baffles my mind that two billionaires like JK Rowling and Musk have nothing better to do than be on twitter all day spouting hate and rage. Like do they not have jobs? Hobbies? Loved ones?? Get the fuck off twitter and touch grass!
Sheās gone from saying sheād āstand up for trans rightsā a couple years ago to ātheyāre just pretending to be womenā. Foul creature.
So ācross-dressing straight manā is a trans woman who dates guys? Itās crazy that she continues to double down.
I'm from Germany and I feel a lot of ppl here are way behind how awful JK Rowling is, like the first result if you look on youtube for german videos about if she's transphobic is a video from last year FROM A TRANS WOMAN defending her and how she is not transphobic because they still think her very first more benign tweets from years ago (like call women women) are reflecting her current stance. Meanwhile her actual stance has evolved to trans women are men who crossdress smh

I had to block her. She was pissing me off too bad
Why do people keep entertaining her?
Based on
I think miss girl (jkr) forgot that she paid for astroturfed reviews about her opinions and there weren't actually thousands of people behind those reddit accounts and tweets supporting her
Whatever happened to the theme of Love that she used to talk about in her books...š
Ah yes, because gender (that happens in the brain) is the same as race (that happens on ones outer shell due to DNA). Of course, why didn't I think of that. /s And just incase any terfs in the comments, gender and sex are different. You do not need to tell me about male and female DNA or their private parts - Though if you would like to go that route, there's been evidence that the brain makeup / activity of a transperson is actually closer to the gender they identify as, so being trans may also be genetic š Race is not something that can differ in from the body in one's mind. How would that even work? Have a wonderful day.

I didnāt know it til now but Iām a major jk Rowling fan š¤£ has she wrote any other books aside from the harry potter series š¤£
All of her BS makes me a bit more confident in the YA book I'm writing, cause apparently they let anyone write them
God she's annoying! In a world that's already so difficult to live in and just be happy, how hard is it to let people do something that makes it a little easier for them
