Wow, that was fast.[edit]

Nothing on her Israel support[edit]

I absolutely gotta add something about that. I seem to remember she made some weird argument about how "Harry Potter wouldn't boycott Israel". Chillpilled (talk) 08:22, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

After having gone and written the section, I think she's just a two-stater. Thought she was all-in pro-Israel. Chillpilled (talk) 14:02, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

JK ROWLING IS RIGHT[edit]

Oh Rowling, you rotter[edit]

Oh Rowling, you rotter
Oh what have you done
You're fraternizing with far-right transphobes
And you think it's good fun

I knew she's become an absolute disgrace, somehow made the lazy expanded lore behind her magnum opus even worse and alienated the very demographic she once inspired by writing a successful seven-part story about an orphaned misfit raised by an abusive family who one day learns there's a whole underground society of others like him and then has to take on a terrorist group based on blind hate towards a vexing demographic for dumb reasons to avenge his slain parents and protect his new family made along the way- but I didn't know she had gone so far off the rails as to cozy up to IRL Death Eaters- namely the alt-right (only replace "mudbloods" with "tr-nn--s" and "blood traitors" with "gender traitors"), but the disgraces to the good name of feminism known as TERFS I already knew of. Instead of being remembered for penning one of the few book series that people actually read more than once these days, she will instead be remembered in posterity as the self-appointed leader of that pseudo-feminist attempt to perpetuate transphobia. Give an alt-righter an inch, and they will take a mile. --Goatspeed. Fossil evidence of my evolutionCircularREmail2.gifasoningSee my latest prototypes 03:11, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Length[edit]

We shouldn't sacrifice good content for less taxing reading (if a sentence must be wordy to convey itself fully, let it be wordy), but if there's a way to retain what's good while shortening parts that may be something we'd like to consider at some point. I may dive into such a task of summary on some boring day, myself... Chillpilled (talk) 00:18, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
