It's that crowd, yeah. The most fucking basic, naive, "it's wine'o'clock!" arseholes.
Yeah there's just so much hypocrisy. I wish mainstream media would call her out, it would be interesting to watch her squirm under scrutiny I guess.
IIRC she was published under JK instead of Joanne because it was thought that boys wouldn't want to read a book written by a woman or some such nonsense. And then Harry Potter blew up so JK became her brand.
As much as I dislike her constant hate towards trans women, especially given how a huge amount of the Harry Poter fandom is LGBTQ+ and growed up very connected and seen with the books and/or movies, JK Rowling had absolutely no option or say in the matter of putting her name of the cover. It was and still is part of the system, she was nobody back then and obviously went along with what the system told her to be able to be pusblished. That eventually became her pen name, her brand and she wasn't going to mess things up by putting her full name on the subsequents books.
Finally got around to getting rid of my books. Fuck JKR and all bigots.
Bonus concerned cat as well!
It's a fucked up thing and I can't simply see how it is still a thing in the year of 2022 of our Lord. It really makes me mad.
And even if you believe the idea that "She didn't know when she first used that pen name", what's the excuse of still using the pen name years after it's been pointed out over and over again?
The things is that even if she had absolutely NO IDEA about the name, and she didn't even google it or whatever to be sure it wasn't already the name of another writer, I don't buy absolutely nobody in the editorial team, or the publishing team of those books to do some research on it and not warning her.
I'm gonna guess your username is something like….ShitWrongThread

lmao, she really thinks she's that important to be called up by Ukraine's president, that's hilariousJ.K. Rowling Pranked by Russians Impersonating Ukraine President Zelensky on Zoom Call
The 'Harry Potter' author fell victim to a "distasteful" prank while trying to help children in Ukraine.
If only the trolls weren't Russian state actors this could've been a legendary troll.
But yeah, brilliant, brave and totally not a bigoted asshole author couldn't even tell she was being pranked.
She rarely has anything to say about these things these days. She'll make a milquetoast tweet soon enough and still make it about how trans women are at fault for this, too.
Yeah... I rather have no missiles being shot at anyone, at least that there wasn't a reason to use them, but if they are headed for the troops from an invading country, well, I can't excctly complain, much better than having Avada Kedabra to missiles targeting the country being invaded.
Kind of off-topic, but now that his has been mentioned and while listening to the Shrieking Shack podcast, the Harry Potter books are kind of sexist. There are hardly any important female characters, and even Hermione doesn't play an important role compared to the titular character, Dumbledore, Voldemort... In the books Joanne usually portray women as gossip creatures, or that only exist to give support to male characters. In other words, the only characters that are important and move the plot are male ones. Female characters, nope.
