JK Rowling Gay-bashes Stranger on Twitter

[Supermanisdead]

For anyone still thinking she's not a monster:

She's gone full mask-off at this point, huh? How did she get on twitter at her big age and post this attacking some random stan who got a cute tattoo based on her work... and then BULLY them???? Oof.

(EDIT: Is this real? Hate basing an opinion off an image alone and no one corroborating.)

(EDIT 2: Not feeling this one. But read below for my extremely disappointed reaction were it real, yippee!)

---------------------

What the everloving fuck? Wow. Especially ironic considering Harry lived with his abusive family in a closet.

Do I... really want to share my Harry Potter books with my kids?

I mean, I'd share Lovecraft's stories at some point I suppose, so maybe, but... god damn.

 

[Kalentan]

Where did Harry Potter come from, Dad?

Space. It came from space.

Tell them it came from space, like Minecraft. Problem solved

what in the fuck

 

[louisacommie]

she must have hated ever pretending to like gay people and fake retroactive inclusion if gay people in her story

All I can do is shake my head.

 

[SuperBanana]

I'm trying to think of a way this might be misinterpreted but fuck, that seems pretty blatant considering the photo she's replying to. Gross.

 

[OhSatan]

Better that she is now fully showing her true heart.

same... wtf

edit: wait is this for sure real?

 

[Kewlmyc]

She'll just retcon her being homophobic later on in a tweet.

Seriously, she's a nutcase.

Wonder if she made Dumbledore gay to make him 'imperfect'

Isn't that what she's referencing?

 

[Platy]

can't find it in her timeline .. i think she deleted

 

[Wetwork]

Hatsune Miku wrote Harry Potter.
She also says trans rights, and gay pride.

 

[PopQuiz]

Not seeing this on her profile. Is this recent?

 

[Zebesian-X]

Was this tweet deleted? I don't see it on her account

 

[Kapryov]

is there a link to this tweet?

I want to tell her off

 

[FTF]

Is that a real tweet?

Hoping this isn't a fake image to get people riled up. Do these posts survive in some kind of internet archive?

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

It's probably a joke about how Harry lived in a closet or whatever.

Still, she sucks because she's a TERF so I am not giving her the benefit of the doubt at all.

I also can't find the tweet like others are saying.

 

[Doomguy Fieri]

As a short straw choice I started reading Harry Potter to my two year old at bedtime a few months ago. She really like it and says "Potter?" when it's bed time. We're halfway through the third book and I'm starting to have serious reservations about continuing the series. What the fuck is wrong with this lady?

 

[Supermanisdead]

She immediately deleted it. Even in that screenshot it says "tweets aren't loading" because it was deleted after a minute or two. She must have forgot she wasn't signed into her troll account

 

[Deimos]

No fucks given. Yeah, full mask off.

No offense but gonna need second confirmation

Her name is still gonna be in the book covers for them to see. Keeping it a secret to who she may backfire if they ever think of googling it. This is not like Notch with it only being in the credits.

I don't think she'd want credit for writing the stuff involving house elves.

 

[Aureon]

Wait, what the fuck?

I can't imagine her position changing *that* much.

But how does this even work from a cheeky perspective? Harry shouldn't have lived in a closet. It was wrong.

Harry wouldn't have become who he was if he didn't' live in a closet?

That's really the only possible thing I can think of. And saying that Harry HAD to be abused is still a really fucked up thing to say if that's what she was going for.

 

[EatChildren]

Fake as hell.

 

[sphagnum]

I want to hope that this is just a very, very, very lame Harry Potter joke but I know it isn't.

Hopefully fake!

 

[Dyle]

looks super fake

 

[Deleted member 12352]

Has to be fake, surely?

...

Surely?

White it out, repaint the art, and write "Space" over her name. Come on, I can't do all the work for you.

Joking aside, if it's any consolation, as a kid I gave ZERO shits about the author 90% of the time.

Image source? The tweet isn't on her profile

This. No date either.

 

[Stickyricegirl]

This has got to be fake. No way.

That's the vibe I'm getting. Confirmation bias. Not seeing any source with Twitter searches. Just people posting the same pic.

 

[woman]

We making threads about fake tweets now?

Exactly.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

I think the insinuation is that Harry Potter lived in a closet for 12 years and became a great person. Without the context the meaning is completely twisted, not to say being tone deaf is an excuse though

It's the only way that tweet makes sense to me

Or it's fake

 

[SindbadtheSailor]

This seems pretty fake.

Honestly, it's bizarre how obsessed some are with putting others on pedestals and then rushing to tear them down.

 

[Digital Dinosaur]

Yeah, is this in fact fake?

If it isn't, it honestly might have been a super boneheaded attempt at a joke about Harry living in a closet but growing up okay.

It wouldn't be out of character.

 

[spookyduzt]

Regardless of wether this tweet was real or not, she's still a scumfuck TERF.

 

[Wetwork]

Click to shrink...

Hastune Miku publishes Harry Potter; after redacting the implications of house elves and correcting the stereotype characters.

she also says health care for all humans, and snape is problematic, not romantic.

 

[Doc Laserstein]

Rowling is undoubtedly a piece of shit, but this seems fake.

 

[Gentlemen]

The sourcing of this seems thin.

 

[tormented]

Rowling isn't cowardly about her bad takes. If she meant to be homophobic, she would've left it up.

 

[LossAversion]

Maybe post a source.
