Like how the Wizarding World left her behind. I’m playing Hogwarts Legacy (set 100 years before Philosopher’s Stone) and every time I see or hear about a gay couple or a trans character, I imagine JKR hates it and hates us enjoying the best of her world without her bigotry. Ironically her reaction to the game is probably similar to how the alt right reacted to her books when they were new.

I also like how one of your first friends is a Slytherin and the Slytherins aren’t all one dimensional fascist bastards like they were in the books and movies. They’re just a little more ambitious than the rest, like how my Ravenclaw witch is just a little more curious.

She thinks you buying and playing the game means you agree with her views.

I imagine JKR hates it

She's crying all the way to bank, and from the pulpit the popularity "Wizarding World" gives her. /s

Yeah, she's like the richest private citizen or the richest private female citizen in the United Kingdom. No amount of hate is going to change that. She's getting paid from the interest. If we could take her money because we don't like her, we wouldn't, because it would be used on us instead. Let her have her money, it won't ever buy back all the goodwill she's pissed away.

And I don't know how popular she is these days... the people she's sucking up to are the same people who wanted her books banned 20 years ago. What even is her angle, anyway? She taught a generation of kids to stand up for themselves and each other and to explore their potential while being attacked by the alt right, but now that she's made her money, she's joining them? It doesn't make any sense. The left doesn't like her because she's anti-trans and the right doesn't like her because she made Harry Potter.

Her money is being used against us now. Also the right is happy to embrace any rich person who embraces hatred regardless of past actions.

Past actions?

She's always been like this.

The only asian character in her books is effectively named ching chong.
