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...

      People make fun of guys really into infinite jest, but imagine being the guy who owns the JK Rowling transphobic screed. Like at least you could separate the art from the artist with infinite jest.

          He was abusive toward a partner. From the wiki:

          In the early 1990s, Wallace was in a relationship with writer Mary Karr. She later described Wallace as obsessive about her and said the relationship was volatile, with Wallace once throwing a coffee table at her and once forcing her out of a car, leaving her to walk home.[15][16] Years later, she said that Wallace's biographer D. T. Max underreported Wallace's abuse. Of Max's account of their relationship, she tweeted, "That's about 2% of what happened."
