JK rowling just released a book about about a youtuber who get stabbed to death for making transphobic animations. it is supposedly 600 pages longer than Dune.
In her new book, Rowling introduces readers to Edie Ledwell, a creator of a popular YouTube cartoon who sees internet trolls and her own fandom turn on her after the cartoon was criticized as being racist and ableist, as well as transphobic for a bit about a hermaphrodite worm.
She wrote the Atlas Shrugged of "sO mUcH foR tHe ToLeRaNt LeFt".
Here in reality, I can't think of a single instance of an online bigot being murdered for their bullshit, but there ARE tens of thousands of trans people who've been murdered for being trans...
I am fully convinced that her ability to take constructive criticism has plummeted since she became wealthy and famous, including and especially in her writing. The Harry Potter books are a bloated mess on top of all their thematic failures, but they still have some sort of flow to them. I just highly doubt her ability to coherently edit down her writing.
Actually, that’s something that doesn’t get talked about much. She’d been writing bits and pieces of Harry Potter forever before she finally finished a single book. And the catalyst for her ability to finally push through and write a book? She was on welfare even though she had a child. The story is always told like that. As if being a poor parent is some inherent rock bottom she had to climb up from.
Isnt she from a rich family. Like I am not against having a public support system for people at all, but the way the story is told she was poor rock bottom scraping it by.
