    Did she get snubbed by someone who’s ace or something? Asexuality is possibly the most inoffensive sexuality in existence.

    Like, oh no.

    They don’t experience sexual attraction.

    That means they’re probably significantly less likely to objectify or assault you than someone who isn’t ace. Isn’t that a good thing for someone supposedly so concerned with being objectified and violated, Miss Rowling?

    What a wildly brain-dead take from someone who loves claiming to be a feminist.

    (Yes, I know she’s not actually a feminist, but it’s another piece of hypocrisy to throw on the pile)

    She wrote a whole series about how bigotry is bad but in retrospect, it feels like she didn’t really understand why bigotry is bad. She just needed her children’s books to have a moral message and she made a very surface level parallel to the holocaust. Then years later, she showed her ignorance about the holocaust by denying that transgender people were a target.

        Probably the most problematic thing in the Harry Potter books is the pro-slavery propaganda with the house elves, which the filmmakers wisely omitted

    Why doesn’t she write a book about whatever unimaginable horrific childhood trauma turned her into such a vile adult?

    Dang. Another censorship-ban.

    We need more lemmy communities that are willing to tolerate opposition to the trans agenda.

      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.

    So transphobia wasn’t enough to satisfy her bigoted brain, now she’s going for asexual people as well. Pathetic.

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

    Because she is a homophobic piece of shit.

      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 just 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”.

    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.
