It's the way her PR team probably paid for this mess 

 

My first thought was, that the PR machine has started to wash her imagine clean, when I saw that post. There's also a podcast series coming next week, where she will explain her views.

So what "fake news" are being spread about her? She's a far right bigot, that's not news nor fake, it's a fact. Suddenly miss freedom of speech doesn't like it when people speak their minds?

I am 100% for freedom of speech and believe strongly that everyone should suffer the consequences of their words and actions. So if what the guy is alleging is true, then surely he'll be able to prove that in court and miss freedom of speech will suffer the consequences, right?

Suing private individuals for public comments likening your words and actions to harmful far-right fascist ideologies is not the same as suing a large media corporation for stalking you and publishing outright lies about your actions in an effort to falsely construe you as a dangerous person who needs to be placed back into a financially abusive conservatorship

It's the same principle - if they sue for defamation, it's up to the court to decide whether: 

 

1) JKR is not a harmful far-right fascist who has lies spread about her

2) Britney is not a dangerous person who has lies spread about her

 

Also, the fact that the guy she's suing had more than 10 million views on his tweet shows that nowadays with the power of social media it doesn't matter whether you're a private individual or a media corporation spreading fake news. So many careers have been destroyed because of some tweets with even less than 10m views. 

 

again, I don't follow JK Rowling and I couldn't care less about her opinion on trans rights or whatever, I just wanted to point out the hypocrisy

Imagine having all the money in the world which enables you to do whatever you want and you choose fighting with Twitter people :toofunny3:

Doesn’t matter how right you are if you can’t afford a multi-million dollar lawyer bill. There’s a reason she’s going after the private and poorer individuals rather than public figures who have spoken against her.

She's pathetic but people need to stop libelling people on twitter (slander = spoken, libel = written fyi). I literally see this all the time where people go on there and say the stupidest things which often times are completely dishonest not realising they're breaking the law :rip:

 

There's so much you could criticise this woman for, don't lower the tone with petty name calling

Bullying women for their feminism and making fun of their looks is misogyny :clap3:

Yep. 

 

I see people posting things like "tabs" in the Hogwarts Legacy threads and I'm thinking, this woman literally spends her whole day online. Like, she's worse than you guys. She's not a happy woman. 

 

I actually hope she finds some happiness and tries to make amends, if that's possible. I'm not sure it is.

Bullying trans people for just existing and contributing to trans hate groups is extremely vile and she should be shamed for eternity for the disgusting display of transphobia.

 

Couldn't have said it better myself :clap3:

Maybe if she spent less time on Twitter, and more time writing, the Fantastic Beast series wouldn't have been a panned bomb.

When I don't like a woman's opinions I try to put her down for her looks, cause I think her worth is based on her physical appearance 

I'm glad you're being so real and raw with us :clap3:

I’ll never understand the obsessive loser mentality certain billionaires tend to have when they’re at the peak of their financial power.  Don’t you have more important **** to do than sit on twitter all day and get butthurt about responses to their garbage opinions?  She’s beyond pathetic at this point.

When people bully other people just for existing and do everything in their power to drive them to suicide and envision a society without them, it's borderline Nazi tendencies and JK should be shamed for being so disgustingly ugly inside.

So true :clap3:

Exactly. I would understand  if this would effect her financially but it's not. She's the one ruining her own reputation  not some rando on Twitter.

Not you classifying JK’s views as feminism. Sis, you’re so close to saying what you truly think, just let your TERF flag fly :heart:

If ANY of us had as much money as her, we’d probably be living on an island somewhere and paying a security company to scrub our online existence off the face of the earth instead of digging a hole to bury our reputations in.  I don’t get why people like her (and Elon) are hell bent on destroying their reputations.

she’s embarrassing

Narcissism. They want attention, no matter what. Same with Trump.

 

I used to give JK the benefit of the doubt (somewhat) that she was taking her past deep-rooted trauma with men, a 100% valid feeling, and projecting it onto AMAB trans women, which is obviously incorrect and bigoted, but at least there was SOMETHING there that maybe could be dug into (in therapy) to truly find out the root cause of this fixation and hatred on a group of people that have literally not done anything to her or anyone. If anything, trans people have CHAMPIONED her, as the LGBTQ+ of Harry Potter was (once) massive.

 

But now, no. You can't explain away this level of pure hatred with past (wrongly attributed) trauma, this is who she is to the core as a person. She doesn't have any excuse for lack of education, or the lack of availability to resources, or time, or anything. She's a billionaire white woman who could literally pay someone to have a one-on-one colloquium class on trans rights if she truly wanted to educate herself, but instead she allied herself with those that were ~nice~ to her following the initial backlash: TERFs, and planted her flag there. And now a murdered trans teenager is going to be deadnamed on her death certificate as a result, among countless other unspeakable evils she has contributed to.

Harry Potter fans really gassed her up into thinking that she was something special, and now she thinks she can get away with anything.

 

She's a bigoted hack with very, very little writing talent (if any at all).

Good for her. She’s been bullied for too long. I stand with JK Rowling.

this woman is sad and pathetic and will probably die alone

You can disagree with her without comparing her to Nazis. 

I would've sent my legal team after that Twitter poster too if I was her.

 

She has also been threatened and doxxed over her opinions so it's no surprise that she'll have her lawyers or police on speed-dial.
