What a hateful idiot lol that’s all I can say
You’d think this dumb cunt could just fuck off and enjoy her fortune, but no
This is literally fun to these people. Foaming at the mouth gives them energy, it’s all they can run on anymore. Vapid angst.
Getting too much money reaaaaally fucks with your head. Becoming a billionaire should count as a brain injury.
Eh. It’s more that you hear a lot about the nuts ones. Number 5 on the richest list is currently a guy named Bernard Arnault, who mostly French people know about, while the infamous Peter Thiel is at 129.
Same story here. Rowling may or may not have a full billion, but she’s famous and good at getting rage views like this one.
How the actual fuck could asexuals offend you? smdh
It does make me wonder if JK is actually asexual herself, and feels shame about it. Like how men who claim that “being gay is a choice” often feel that way because they consciously forced themselves to be straight despite their attraction to other men.
Average JKR disaster of an opinion
I’ll steelman her POV because it seems people are (rightly) confused.
Asexuals are requesting a day of recognition for what she sees as a negative-identity. Keep in mind, conservatives are often meritocratic.
It’s like if there were a day for “coffee refrainers”, for everyone who doesn’t like drinking coffee. I’m sure if someone dunked on that day and the coffee refrainers, it’d all be in good spirits.
But if someone dunked on asexuality, I’m sure it’d cause a lot of upset and defensive argument, which implies more “merit” to asexuality.
While progressives can go “who cares, just leave em be”, conservatives see all “non-deserved” attention as an affront to meritocracy, that needs to be squashed.
This actually really helps me understand her perspective. I think she’s wrong of course, and even harmful, but I appreciate the steelman.
So transphobia wasn’t enough to satisfy her bigoted brain, now she’s going for asexual people as well. Pathetic.
Harry Potter creator goes on rant about asexuals for some reason 🤷🏽♂️
Because she is a homophobic piece of shit.
Sounds like Voldermor was inspired by her own persona
More the Dursleys IMO. She hates the people who don’t conform to her view of normality.
Homophobic? I thought she was just anti-trans.
Either way, I’m very curious how the LGBT community views a wholly trans-phobic shit stain that simultaneously claims to support the gay community. I know just such a person and would like some insight from the community itself.
Homophobic? I thought she was just anti-trans.
Will she sure is not an ally, or even neutral.
In the HP fanfiction community many/most despise her.
Irony is that the entire Harry Potter series is like discriminating against people for who they are is wrong.
To be fair, I’m pretty sure the slave race of house elves continue being slaves because “they love being slaves”.
I mean she has to be a troll at this point for attacking asexual people right? J.K. Trolling
Like, it’s just people who don’t like sex, I don’t understand the hate? And I’m about as far from asexual as you can get.
She hates asexual people for the same reason she hates transgender people, they’re not conforming to her view of normality.

There are a strange amount of people who seem to hate the idea of asexuality and this unfortunately includes people from all swaths of life like the LGBTQ+ community. I’ve seen too many gay people say hurtful, and frankly hypocritical, things along the lines of asexuality not existing and being more akin to a disease. It seems that while more people have become aware and accepting of homosexuality, they still don’t understand asexuality and it scares them. Sad really. But luckily there are still lots of kind souls out there that will be accepting of anyone who’s accepting in return. Maybe they can show everyone else the way…
Yeah, I’ve seen it from hypersexual people who seem to have unprocessed shame and need to believe their own behaviour is justified by being a universal human trait. The existence of asexuality threatens that.
What the hell does the bottom post even mean? Is she saying she prefers segregated bathrooms? I knew she is a TERF but she’s apparently also racist?
For a professional writer you’d think she would know that a quotation (even a fictional one) requires quotation marks around it to make it clear to the reader that it’s not what you are saying but somebody else. Perhaps this makes more sense:
“Refusing to accept that people who don’t like sex belong in the gay category is akin to wanting segregated bathrooms in the 1950s, John,” as approximately a thousand gender activists will inform you once their hands stop literally shaking.
She’s mocking the people who replied to her.
Wow she really isn’t very good.
How were we so starved for something that we latched onto her baloney?
I don’t read it like a quote. She’s telling John an opinion (sarcastically) and then letting him know the activists will inform him the same thing. It’s not grammatically incorrect, just difficult to parse (which is still not the best writing).
Not to defend her, but she’s saying that the ““woke”” crowd is saying what she’s saying is as bigoted as segregated bathrooms. She’s racist for entirely independent reasons
I’m ace and JK can go fuck herself
Well you’re not going to do it, what choice does she have?
Did she get snubbed by someone who’s ace or something? Asexuality is possibly the most inoffensive sexuality in existence.
Like, oh no.
They don’t experience sexual attraction.
That means they’re probably significantly less likely to objectify or assault you than someone who isn’t ace. Isn’t that a good thing for someone supposedly so concerned with being objectified and violated, Miss Rowling?
What a wildly brain-dead take from someone who loves claiming to be a feminist.
(Yes, I know she’s not actually a feminist, but it’s another piece of hypocrisy to throw on the pile)
I can’t wait for her to die. It’s why I as a trans person keep living.
She been eating roadkill with RFK Jr.?
