To be fair, she isn’t a passive bystander she’s actively making things worse.

I agree; that’s why I called her the monster.

This just dawned on me not long ago. Like how does someone write the character of Lucius Malfoy and then go "what if I used my tremendous wealth and influence to lobby ceaselessly against people who transitioned into my category from the more dominant one, and who already tend to be discriminated against violently as a result? I could maybe use a theatrical rhetoric of victimization to distract from my very shady alliances."

Like wtf lady you know that makes you the bad guy you literally wrote a series of books explaining it to children.

Oddly enough the guy that plays Malfoy is the only one that's actually still on her side in the public sphere. It's not necessary consequential but I think it's interesting.

The guy who played Voldemort actually. Makes me wonder if he's agreeing with her as a troll.

What I love is how the "Most Evil Wizards in History" seem to not actually do anything wrong.

Salazar Slytherin's crime - Being Irish at a time Britain didn't get along with Ireland

The crime of Grindelwald - Not wanting the Nazis to come to power

This quote doesn't even make any sense. Apathy is not the opposite of empathy.

Because she's really not a good author. The morals in Harry Potter are basic and inconsistent.

You have to remember. This is a woman who argued in her book series for literal children that opposing slavery makes you a crazy person.

The inconsistent part was when there was a whole subplot about Dobby wanting freedom and the reader sympathizing with that character. Then later, JK writing that Dobby was a weirdo for wanting that.

Shaun's comment that JK keeps threatening to make the story interesting was such a good stinger.

Yes, I would also put antipathy in opposition, but maybe I am just a better writer.

Edit: it really is just a wish.com variant of the MLK Jr. quote about the words of our enemies — something, something — not as bad as the silence of our friends.

Yea. The woman who said trans woman aren't "real" (biological sex) women is a monster.
