She truly is a horrible person through and through. In a functioning society, she would be ostracised.This thread used to be named after J.K. Rowling. She's getting into Holocaust revisionism now.

Ostracised how? She's basically an angry old woman on twitter at this point. She just also happens to be one of the richest women in the world and nobody can take that money from her.She truly is a horrible person through and through. In a functioning society, she would be ostracised.
Genuinely curious what goes through her head when she posts stuff like that. Surely, if you have that much money, you should be able to do more interesting things than being an idiot on Twitter.This thread used to be named after J.K. Rowling. She's getting into Holocaust revisionism now.

As far as I know she doesn't go to award shows or TV shows. The cast of the HP films don't have anything to do with her anymore either.
She’s the kind of person we should all carry rotten fruits for.Ostracised how? She's basically an angry old woman on twitter at this point. She just also happens to be one of the richest women in the world and nobody can take that money from her.

Would strongly support this to be fair. She's so far off the deep end now and it's seemingly become an existential issue for her.She’s the kind of person we should all carry rotten fruits for.
In her bigotry she has convinced herself, that she is sticking up for women. And every time someone goes after her for it, she just doubles down and claims it is a “trans mob” or “trans lobby” as if either of those things really exist.Genuinely curious what goes through her head when she posts stuff like that.

To where? Not here I hope?!She should be shot from a catapult.
Basically a conversation myself and my mates have about Graham Linehan. He could've easily said "It was a distasteful episode which I regret and will hope to do better in future." Instead the man went down a warped rabbit hole where he lost his wife, career and any self respect he could've had.Genuinely curious what goes through her head when she posts stuff like that.

It’s really fascinating. They just need to delete an app of their phone and they would instantly become significantly happier people. With much more enjoyable lives. And yet they won’t do that. A whole new form of madness that didn’t exist 30 years ago. Twitter’s capacity to melt people’s brains while stopping them from looking away is almost like witchcraft.Basically a conversation myself and my mates have about Graham Linehan.

My understanding is she has some creative control over anything to do with Harry Potter, but I don't think she actually offers much these days and it's largely just her name being tacked on as it's her IP.I was reading that she has some creative control in terms of the HBO Harry Potter series they're making. Wonder if it will end up getting cancelled or it's pushed through and we get some TERF-y acting or dialogue.
And Little Rishi unsurprisingly agreeing with her, as if you needed any more evidence that she's on the wrong side of history.Rowling going off the deep end again. You'd think she'd have something better to do with her time.
She seems to really genuinely think that she's some revolutionary sticking it to the system with her posts.
Well Scotlands new hate crime bill would see her arrested.Rowling going off the deep end again. You'd think she'd have something better to do with her time.

That's true but I figured that game was fairly left field from the Hogwarts universe in general and she wasn't involved in the creation but I read she's going to be an exec producer on the new series.My understanding is she has some creative control over anything to do with Harry Potter, but I don't think she actually offers much these days and it's largely just her name being tacked on as it's her IP.
Hogwarts Legacy included a trans character and had the option for the player character to be trans too.
I genuinely don't know a great deal about these things but I thought "executive producer" was pretty much just having your name tacked onto the credits?That's true but I figured that game was fairly left field from the Hogwarts universe in general and she wasn't involved in the creation but I read she's going to be an exec producer on the new series.
I think it can vary, sometimes they take a more active role and sometimes take a back seat like you say.I genuinely don't know a great deal about these things but I thought "executive producer" was pretty much just having your name tacked onto the credits?
I doubt she'll try and use it as a mouthpiece for anything, if only because HBO simply won't let her. It's too big of a platform and at this point the show isn't being created for her audience.I think it can vary, sometimes they take a more active role and sometimes take a back seat like you say.
Well according to the SNP, it wouldn't:Well Scotlands new hate crime bill would see her arrested.
Alright then.
I honestly don't know to be fair, I've not read the bill in full.Alright then.
She has a persecution complex like many other TERFs and transphobes. She's an extremely wealthy and rather powerful person, but has a constant need to make herself the victim in this manufactured struggle.I honestly don't know to be fair, I've not read the bill in full.
It just seemed to be classically fantastical from her as to what she was doing and what she was likely to fall victim to in terms of punishment.
I'm not even talking as someone who's a massive ally or something like that, the debate barely registers at all in my thinking on a regular basis.
Well she is wealthy and famous, but would it be outrageous to suggest that the thousands of death threats, descriptions of mutilation they want to do on her might make her less diplomatic? Also I think she would like to see this going to court because, A: she believes the bill infringes free speech thereby free thought. B: She is a world wide celebrity, putting her on court would put immense amount of scrutiny on the new bill. C: She is rich, she can afford the best lawyers on earth, so she can create scrutiny on the law whilst getting the best deal.She has a persecution complex like many other TERFs and transphobes.

I can't speak to the amount of death threats and other vile messages she gets online, but of course that's never ok. Full stop. That doesn't happen in a vacuum though. She started out with mild transphobia, and has since doubled, tripled, quadrupled down to the point of allying herself with some truly vile people. People like her always like to roll out the "We're just saying biological sex is real" or "We're just protecting free speech", when that is not even remotely close to what they are actually doing. They are contributing to spreading hate and causing actual harm to a group of people that are already exposed.Well she is wealthy and famous, but would it be outrageous to suggest that the thousands of death threats, descriptions of mutilation they want to do on her might make her less diplomatic?

Of course of its doing the rounds that the main author of this bill rather insultingly laments the fact that the majority of the scottish parliament is white in a country where 97% of the population is white.https://www.legislation.gov.uk/asp/2021/14/contents
I think this is it,
