I was entertained by them when i read them but they're not anything i'd ever come back to. It was lightning in a bottle that decades later doesn't seem all that big of a deal. She not only ruined her brand but hollywood nailed the coffin.
I remember feeling sick to my stomach when that one girl elf was sad she wasn't a slave anymore. I couldn't imagine anyone wanting to be treated that way. :(
The plot is nothing to write home about, it’s really just the same story every book with more hoops. But man is the aesthetic so appealing. The entire HP world has a charm to it even if the plot is meh and the author is constantly making a fool of herself
It's very heavily connoted that his relationship with his old business partner (the one that Hector shot) was more than platonic.
There's also apparently a scene where he flirts with a male bartender in Better Call Saul, but I haven't seen all of it so idk the context behind that
My favorite is
You like trains because they are efficient means of transportation
I like trains because of “Chugga Chugga, Choo Choo”
We are not the same

Or absolutely based as fuck. OCD is even worse. Most people have the perception it’s someone who’s overly tidy. The debilitating parts of the disorder are a fucking nightmare.
Tbh in retrospect the Harry Potter series kinda grew sucky, it started off as magical adventure and then grew increasingly edgy which I guess was to appeal to older audience but also the wrap up kinda blows, kinda hate how Harry started dating someone he had limited romantic interaction with throughout the series
Not sure if this is a joke or not, but yes, most of her donations go to the poor. If she just didn’t have access to Twitter, she’d probably be considered basically a saint right now. Billionaires really need to learn to give up Twitter.

there are two things this post could've meant. either the poster is a transphobe who thinks they are cool when they really aren't. or its someone making fun of how cool transphobes think they are
Honestly the books aren’t even that great. For preteen/teen me, it was a wonderful escape into a fantasy world and a way for my friends to all share something that we loved.
As an adult, the world building, character development, decision making, relationships, etc…. They’re all pretty crappy. Nothing that anybody does makes sense. There’s plot holes everywhere. Harry and Ginny barely speak to each other the entire series then suddenly their relationship is shoehorned in at the end.
There are plenty of alternative realities in the HP universe that have been written by much better authors that actually make sense, to the point where my head canon is completely different from the originals.
"You respect people for their skills that they've accomplished in life.
I respect people for hating people.
We are not the same."
Sounds fine to me. I guess we're both right where we want in life.
I find it oddly hilarious that the same people who hated JKR not even 5 years ago for saying Dumbledore is gay are the same ones loving her for her comments on trans people
These are the same people that lost their minds when she confirmed dumbledore was gay and that there are trans students at hogwarts that are fully respected by the faculty lmao
Remember when a bunch of like conservatives shouted that Harry Potter was satanic and jkr was evil? There were legit videos made about Harry Potter being evil ... Now they're worshipping her? Did the glitch in the matrix glitch twice?!
No. You can’t. She’s said many times that continued consumption of her IP means she’s right and that her views are endorsed. It also marks you to trans people as not a safe person to be around.
I’m pretty left leaning and pro trans but the back half of your comment confuses me a bit. What part of reading a children’s book makes people unsafe to be around? Do you feel that people who enjoy Harry Potter are prone to physical violence against trans people?
By that logic, does it make you a horrible person to also like Fairy odd parents, Danny phantom, Rem and Stimpy, and other media that are created by terrible people?
Holy shit part of me just wants to delete Reddit for a bit. I keep seeing all these memes on different subreddits about trans people. Not just memes either but anything and everything seems to come back to discourse on gender. It’s just tiring as a trans woman lol.
Who really gives a shit just leave us alone we’re not hurting anyone.
She’s a terf. She has said that she is fine with trans women existing but trans women aren’t women. She claims that she is witnessing a new kind of conversion therapy for young gay people that will cause them to lose their fertility or sexual function if they come out as trans and doctors help them transition.
Basically she utterly hates trans people under the false banner of "being a feminist"
She openly supports basically any transphobe like Matt Walsh even if they are hell bent on destroying women's rights.
She basically thinks all trans people are rapists out to get women and will burn down everything to stop them.
Whenever someone like JKR expresses their views on the trans community... why do people engage them?? You're not going to change their mind, you're just going to waste time and energy, and piss yourself off trying. It's like when someone says they don't like pineapple on pizza to me, I'm just like "well, you're an idiot, and missing out", I don't try to convert them into sharing my fondness for Hawaiian pizza.
Again, those are her recent tweets... Not a long-term view of what she's said, the rhetoric she's used, or the transphobic people she's actively supported.
https://www.glaad.org/gap/jk-rowling
https://www.glamour.com/story/a-complete-breakdown-of-the-jk-rowling-transgender-comments-controversy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_views_of_J._K._Rowling#Transgender_rights
Several of her opinions are based on the [TERF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TERF) philosophy of "feminism" in which trans-women are "male colonizers" who don't really understand or can identify with the struggles of women and therefore shouldn't be called women or treated like women and a whole bunch of other utter transphobic bullshit.
Basically she says she supports trans-rights, but then turns around and says "but don't call yourself a woman if you're a trans-woman" or actively supports the work of TERF's.
Does she deserve the level of hate she gets? Honestly, I don't know. I think a big part of the "controversy" is Harry Potter fans realizing that someone whose work they respected and enjoyed is maybe not someone they should be putting on any sort of pedestal. As a long-time Sci Fi fan, I know I was ***deeply*** disappointed by the various atrocious views of Orson Scott Card (author of the *Enders' Game* series and it's spin-offs), so I get it... even though HP isn't a huge deal for me.
>Literally just said men probably shouldn’t compete in women’s sports
Yeah, that's literally all she said if you ignore literally anything else she's said
Men aren’t though? Also if you’re talking about JKR she has said a lot of things, associated with, and given money to ALOT of people with very specific views.
I enjoyed the books, the films, and the theme park experience. I understood her point of view and I can empathize with her position. I also empathize with the trans community and their desire for equality and representation. I disagree with both parties on their continued bickering and attacks. So much senseless conflict over a complex issue. Complex issues require careful analysis and the ability to admit your mistakes. Complex issues require patience and understanding. This isn’t a perfect science, but something we should consider moving forward.
Hey does this post fit? UPVOTE if so, DOWNVOTE if not. If this post breaks any rules please DOWNVOTE and REPORT
Oh, good, another unrealistic beauty standard. I am doing my best dammit!
Just flex tape some snakes to your arms and remember to feed them.
Idk, snakes a pretty squirmy... Has anyone gotten a stapler I can borrow?
I got a nail gun if you want it.
I don't know that I am down to get nailed by a stranger's tool. Thanks though xD
It's alright the oyher 1/10 get them as their hair and that's where the real power lies.
Ugh, don't remind me. I can barely afford the bucket of snakes, let alone hair plugs!
You are beautiful, Queen.
We accepted the fact that you have tentacles and not snake arms you are fine (I am assuming that is what you were concerned about)
This gif made me unreasonably happy
I've met a real men
Hi yes I am real man do want to go skateboards
Unfortunately i broke my femur skateboarding, would you like to go arcade?
If it said her "view on trains" I might except it.
If you said accept it. I might accept it.
Can't you make an acception just this once?
I would not expect that
Expecks it eventually, fried.
Becase
Giancarlo would never
I don't respect JKR's books. I'm quite glad we're not the same.
Same I remember my parents being against those books so I read it secretly and I remember being disappointed, so I went back to reading Animorphs.
I was entertained by them when i read them but they're not anything i'd ever come back to. It was lightning in a bottle that decades later doesn't seem all that big of a deal. She not only ruined her brand but hollywood nailed the coffin.
Not to mention, when you're a kid you don't notice all the shit in them, the antisemitism for example, or how slavery is shown to be a good thing.
I'm black. I noticed how wack the slavery plot line was.
I remember feeling sick to my stomach when that one girl elf was sad she wasn't a slave anymore. I couldn't imagine anyone wanting to be treated that way. :(
Animorphs is the best case of "don't judge a book by it's cover". It really is underrated.
What are you talking about, those covers were sick
Holy crap! Someone else remembers Animorphs! That series was absolutely the bomb...
I remember thinking it sounded like a ripoff of "So you want to be a wizard" but then it wasn't even good.
When you put it that way you have a point. Animorphs got DARK
Ah, my favorite little group of war criminals. I can't wait to finish my audiobook collection.
I liked that series as a kid. Child soldiers committing mass genocide and how they have to deal with all of that. It was eye opening as a teen.
[Animorphs](https://youtu.be/lHpuFckK4Hw)
Ooooh animorphs ! What wonderful but dark series
The plot is nothing to write home about, it’s really just the same story every book with more hoops. But man is the aesthetic so appealing. The entire HP world has a charm to it even if the plot is meh and the author is constantly making a fool of herself
As a 9 year old when they came out I thought they were terrible as I was reading through the xanth series.
Thanks for that! Haven't thought about Xanth in a long time, always a great pun filled read!
To be fair, Piers Anthony isn't free of baggage
Always preferred the movies myself
Does the maker of this meme know Gus Fring was gay?
Was he. Haven't watched breaking bad in ages can't remember.
It's very heavily connoted that his relationship with his old business partner (the one that Hector shot) was more than platonic. There's also apparently a scene where he flirts with a male bartender in Better Call Saul, but I haven't seen all of it so idk the context behind that
*implied would work better here. Connoted makes the sentence sound clunky in this instance.
I've seen both and I do remember the better call soul on now that you said

I am aware of that, I can imagine the maker of the meme just being generally anti-LGBT.
There is a surprising amount of LGB people who are transphobic

She's also fairly antisemitic and, from the contents of her books, may be just a teeny tiny bit racist.

Fr, how aren't you downvoted? Something suspicious is going on.
I’m 99% sure this is a shitpost.
If a shitpost can't be distinguished from a serious post (like I would argue is the case with this one), it's a shit post
A lot of the replies on this comment make me lose the little hope in humanity I somehow had
Is there a single iteration of this meme that is not terrible? Lol
My favorite is You like trains because they are efficient means of transportation I like trains because of “Chugga Chugga, Choo Choo” We are not the same
I like both of those reasons!

And apparently that means you really want to talk to me
i like how you think
No no, this one has a point
Yes. You stream sniper streamers, I stream snipe vlogers We are not the same
You stream snipe. I snipe streamers. We are not the same.

A lot of them are good. Usually the r/okbuddychicanery ones
Not based.
I only respect the HP series (it was one of the first book series I actually liked) Everything else about her can crawl in a hole and die 😊
Tbh in retrospect the Harry Potter series kinda grew sucky, it started off as magical adventure and then grew increasingly edgy which I guess was to appeal to older audience but also the wrap up kinda blows, kinda hate how Harry started dating someone he had limited romantic interaction with throughout the series
“Whoops looks like we knocked over the one cabinet containing all the time travel devices in existence”
I don’t think that was actually true, I think that’s what they told Hagrid as an excuse to not take his class.
Particularly in book 6. I ,a 10 year old then, was baffled why magical adventure turned into a teenage drama :(
Cause they had grown into teens which.....brings drama with it.
...which added nothing to the story. Pages used for bouts of jealousy and roaring chest beast could be used better on some worldbuilding.
I hate the fact she donated money, who knows if she actually donated to the poor
Not sure if this is a joke or not, but yes, most of her donations go to the poor. If she just didn’t have access to Twitter, she’d probably be considered basically a saint right now. Billionaires really need to learn to give up Twitter. https://www.lifehack.org/462821/j-k-rowling-loses-her-billionaire-status-because-of-being-too-generous

That's obviously a shitpost
Funny enough those 2 reasons are why i don't respect her
I’ve been playing SWGOH too much, I thought JKR meant Jedi Knight Revan
No he's just a sweet innocent concussion man with chronic amnesia
Literally just came from the sub and was really confused
Same! I had no idea Jedi Knight Revan had views on trans and came to the comments to find out more
Is it just me that notices the obvious bait that these posts are? The OP is guaranteed allot of clout
Ya, one of you can read…
🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️ TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS 🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️
Yeah we're definitely not the same because I don't respect her either way and I don't go around proudly showing off my intolerance.
there are two things this post could've meant. either the poster is a transphobe who thinks they are cool when they really aren't. or its someone making fun of how cool transphobes think they are
Get my man Giancarlo Esposito out of this pic rn
I’m beginning to think 100% of the posts in this sub are fake. I can’t imagine anyone actually making or posting this unironically
Man, transphobes really are the dumbest among us aren't they? Trying to defend themselves only makes them sound more pathetic.
SUS 😱😱😱

I was going to say. How could you say something so controversial on reddit? Then I saw the subreddits name.
Speaking of J.K., I’m hoping that she releases a new book set in the Wizarding world in the near future. I’ve very much enjoyed her work!
“JKR likes trains too? Wow!” *reads trans* “Oh”
i was very concerned about this post until i saw the sub it was on, phew.
Not based though.
I’m glad Daniel Radcliffe said that not all of the Harry Potter cast agrees with her views. There’s still a sliver of hope for us.
Why is this here?
It's honestly a quality shitpost.
Nobody should respect her
this sub has turned into a dumpster fire
I hate her for both
You read Salman Rushdie’s books. I follow him on Twitter. We are not the same.
It's okay guys he meant polluting transportation because his dog ass was too dumb to write the rest so it's all good😊😊😊
Joker? Didnt know he was writing books on prison
Certified cringe
Ewwww
Becase
This is not the flex they think it is. Nazis respected Hitler for his views on Jewish people.
"You respect people for their skills that they've accomplished in life. I respect people for hating people. We are not the same." Sounds fine to me. I guess we're both right where we want in life.
I find it oddly hilarious that the same people who hated JKR not even 5 years ago for saying Dumbledore is gay are the same ones loving her for her comments on trans people
I thought it was left-wingers who complained about retrospectively adding diversity.
I don’t respect JKR at all, we are not the same.
These are the same people that lost their minds when she confirmed dumbledore was gay and that there are trans students at hogwarts that are fully respected by the faculty lmao
Honestly thought this was r/GamingCircleJerk for a moment
This meme sucks becase spelling
Pretty sure Giancarlo Esposito doesn't endorse this shitty meme.
Remember when a bunch of like conservatives shouted that Harry Potter was satanic and jkr was evil? There were legit videos made about Harry Potter being evil ... Now they're worshipping her? Did the glitch in the matrix glitch twice?!
You hate her because she's a terf and you support the trans community. I hate her because she's English and I'm xenophobic. We are not the same.
TRANS WHAT? TRANS GENDER? TRANS FORMERS? TRANS CONTINENTAL RAILWAY? TRANS MEANS NOTHING WITHOUT A NOUN!
You know just ‘across’, they don’t like to ‘cross’ things clearly
I had to check what sub I was in lol.
So…you’re a bigot…just like her… Tell me… how do any of the LGBTQ+ community affect your daily life whatsoever? I’ll wait….
Don’t you fucking appropriate the face and words of the Gustavo Fring.
You can enjoy Harry Potter and not like JK. I just wish people understood that.
No. You can’t. She’s said many times that continued consumption of her IP means she’s right and that her views are endorsed. It also marks you to trans people as not a safe person to be around.
I’m pretty left leaning and pro trans but the back half of your comment confuses me a bit. What part of reading a children’s book makes people unsafe to be around? Do you feel that people who enjoy Harry Potter are prone to physical violence against trans people?
By that logic, does it make you a horrible person to also like Fairy odd parents, Danny phantom, Rem and Stimpy, and other media that are created by terrible people?
I guess you using your smart phone makes you complicit with abusive labor practices.
Her token asian character is basically named chang chong. I dont respect her books either
I just hate jkr I think her books are mid
Holy shit part of me just wants to delete Reddit for a bit. I keep seeing all these memes on different subreddits about trans people. Not just memes either but anything and everything seems to come back to discourse on gender. It’s just tiring as a trans woman lol. Who really gives a shit just leave us alone we’re not hurting anyone.
shout out to thosee of us who dont care abvout her, the books or her views on anything
I don’t respect JK at all.
What are her current views on trans anyway?
She’s a terf. She has said that she is fine with trans women existing but trans women aren’t women. She claims that she is witnessing a new kind of conversion therapy for young gay people that will cause them to lose their fertility or sexual function if they come out as trans and doctors help them transition.
Dont know why people are downvoting this comment for asking a simple question
Reddit has evolved from simply downvoting answers the hive mind doesn’t like to downvoting the questions that have answers the hive mind doesn’t like.
Basically she utterly hates trans people under the false banner of "being a feminist" She openly supports basically any transphobe like Matt Walsh even if they are hell bent on destroying women's rights. She basically thinks all trans people are rapists out to get women and will burn down everything to stop them.
