You can’t with her. She will have infinite money until the day she dies and will keep spending it on hate. Some people are too far ahead to boycott successfully and unfortunately she is one. Hopefully she pays in the next life
Just because you’ve given up doesn’t mean anyone else should. You don’t have to be able to solve the problem to at least stop making the problem worse. Tiny incremental progress is better than perfection, because the latter doesn’t exist, and if it did, it would be made out of lots of tiny incremental progress.
You also have to remember these people have a voice because we give it to them. She can be as rich as she wants, but we keep paying attention to her and she’ll keep being a bad influence on humanity. There is this weird thing with humans where we tend to assume people with money are worth listening to, when 999 out of 1000 of them are fucking worthless pig fuckers.

In some ways, sure, but these people also have a voice because owning-class mass media gives it to them. You can literally buy a figurative microphone. Pay for a platform. We don’t assume people with money are worth listening too, they’re simply the ones talking on every channel.
Rowling doesn’t get paid when you buy used. Got the entire set of movies or books? Sell them to a used book store or donate them to the library. Give them away on Craigslist. Make it easy for people not to buy them new. Also, boycott new media like the HBO series by cancelling your subscription or calling out the actors online for participating.
Not that I see any chance of it, but I’d love to see her get sued into oblivion (i.e. by the people directly harmed by her) as we’ve seen with the likes of Alex Jones.
Watching such a fall from grace would be enormously satisfying.

And they only have power because we listen. Engagement drives profit. Fox News isn’t profitable because they tell the truth.

I turned my wife into a nerd and now we go to half price books.
You can’t separate the art from the artist, but I can damn well ensure that none of my money goes to them.
Secondhand all the way baybee
reads this in Life Of Brian
“A nerd??”
“I got better”
Oh come on, that is “the quest for the holy Grail” and you know it!
derp. you’re right.
I blame it on being turned into a newt
A newt!?
A witch! Witch!
I think im gonna give my old books to the library…
