I wonder how her kid she wrote the books for feels about her these days. Sadly, I'm sure since he ultimately grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth he thinks his mother loves him unconditionally and is sticking up for what she believes in, just like she taught him to do. What's more sad though is the thought of him having friends his age—our age—my age who have woken up to the klaxon sirens of her hatred and criticize the mother who taught him all this. Again. I'm sure the reality is that the wealth he's inheriting keeps him insulated from making friends who are harmed by all this, or are even aware of this harm, but I can imagine a world where he feels conflicted about that his mother has provided everything someone could want, and also knowing she's horrible. I can't imagine what it would be like to be in that situation.

Now for speculation time. I anticipate he will never speak out one way or the other

I'm pretty sure she's currently facing up to 45,000 euros in fines and up to 5 years in jail over the whole Imane Khelif situation, if the French legislature decides that she was a party responsible for cyber bullying (and Musk as well).

Will she ever see the inside of a cell, even if they decide to go after her? I highly doubt it, and when she said this, she definitely wasn't in any danger of being arrested.

But we can always dream.

She lives in the UK where you absolutely can go to prison for expressing hateful views.

Came here to say this. Cunt should be old news, yet here she is living in minds rent free.

What prison is she going to go to? There is no asshole prison for "persecuted" B celebs.

This stuff is like Peterson crying he gets cancelled while he has 50 million views.

This post has made me realise my oversight. I had not added "Rowling" to my Lemmy keyword filter.

It's especially frustrating because of how much it's written to accept people who are different (as long as they aren't fat, or a woman who speaks up, or standing against slavery and exploitation).

She could end all hunger in the UK and she chooses to do this. idk if you need to have a broken brain to become rich, or if becoming rich breaks your brain, but I can't imagine having all those resources available to me and not trying to put them to good use.

Claiming things does not make them true.

It is not clear if she is intersex btw, the whole situation was a lot of people on both sides jumping to conclusions.

Maybe they were only aware of Rowling once her transphobia came to light?

Considering whats in her books I always knew she was at least a tad bit bigoted

She's always been a "new labour" type. There were certainly people who disliked her before she went full TERF.

I personally assumed she already was, and I don't actively wish happiness on people who already experience it. But that's just me

Maybe just didn't care one way or another. It's just a joke, though.
