#i get that many people can't read hp anymore which is totally reasonable and valid but for me i still like the books

JKR is a terrible person and I just feel sad when I see all her tweets.

I've seen a few people say Harry Potter fans are 'ungrateful' to her because she created the books and we're just here hating her. I'd like ask, why is it that we must blindly support someone who hurts , who refuses to acknowledge the identity of people who have been shunned their entire life? Now I'm not trans, but I cannot imagine how painful it must have been for trans people who grew up reading Harry Potter, who found a home in Harry Potter, just to see the author completely disregard their identity. We don't have an obligation to support her just because she write her books. Personally, I think she's a great author. She made good books. Her characters are good people who would absolutely detest her for what she's doing. Ironic seeing that she's the one who wrote them.

But that doesn't mean I'm going to excuse her blatant transphobia. I'm not in debt to her, and I have the right call her out for being a bitch.

Her book characters taught us to accept and love everyone for who they are, but there she is, using her large platform, to not just disregard, but support other people, other organisations that hurt the trans community. It's not just a simple opinion. It's not just saying she prefers pineapple on pizza or cereal before milk. This is an opinion that harms the trans community and harms the people who respected her. A lot of people might just agree with her because they blindly respect her or because they don't know much about trans people. And that's harmful. And she could have so easily used her platform to help trans people. But ofc not.

I've seen people say she's a good person because of all her donations to orphanages. I'm not going to try denying that she hasn't done good things. She used to be billionaire but donated to orphanages and became a millionaire. That was a good deed. But you can't use that to justify her hurtful comments to the trans community now. It's not an excuse. Your current actions can't be excused or ignored or supported just because you did something good before.

I'm sure she believes that she's standing up for woman and that she's totally right which is why she's still being persistent and a complete bitch. I don't speak for all women, but I don't feel reassured or comforted by seeing her bully the trans community. I don't feel like my rights are secured because of her 'activism'.

I don't want her dead, and I honestly think the death threats are helping her making excuses of how bullied woman are for speaking up. I hope she steps on legos though. I hope her pillow is warm on both sides. But most importantly, I hope she can see how many people she's hurting by going on. How much she's destroying. I hope she realises the difference between gender and sex and I hope she can stop. Or even better, change her perspective.

For now, I'm just going to not watch or buy anything related to her, including the Fantastic Beasts Movie which I wasn't gonna watch in the first place because of Johnny Depp being fired. I'm not saying everyone has to do the same, but I mean there are pirated versions of movies in 4k quality so if you really want to watch it, you could maybe watch it from those websites instead? The money from the movies go into her pockets which is why so many people have discouraged others from watching the movie.

And I still love Harry Potter, because luckily I could separate the characters from the author, again let me reiterate, those characters would be disgusted with jkr. But while I like the books, I'm never getting new books, or new merch or anything that benefits jkr. My love is limited to reading the books and analysing or fangirling the characters or plot.

JKR used to be someone I respected but I've lost all the respect. Personally, what pisses me off is that she uses her giant platform to advocate for feminism by discriminating trans people. She has the right to have her opinion. But if you have such a large community and you know the trans people have been moved by your work, is it that hard to keep your opinion to yourself and let them live their lives? Is it hard to not ruin their lives? She isn't just giving an opinion here, she's using her large platform to hurt them which really angers me.

But um anyways, these are just some unfiltered thoughts from reading her tweets, fuck you jkr.
