when you're so not mad you out page count the equivalent of a capitalism car manual, incoherent drivel from the least annoying ancap, and a series literally known for extremely meticulous and plentiful worldbuilding, for the equivalent of a shower argument against people who dislike you on twitter. holy shit. i'd feel bad if she deserved pity :what-the-hell:

        Apparently there was a minor hullabaloo on the news media about her pen name around 2020 when she released her previous book in the series, but her spokesperson gave some utter bullshit about the pseudonym being a combination of Robert F. Kennedy and a very specific nickname she wanted as a child ("Ella Galbraith"; says she has no idea why she liked the surname even though she never met anyone with the same surname, hmm... :thinking-about-it:) https://www.newsweek.com/why-jk-rowling-robert-galbraith-pseudonym-gay-conversion-robert-galbraith-heath-1532341

        The whole facade completely falls apart if you just ask the obvious question of why she or her publishers didn't do a basic google search of the name to make sure there are aren't any future legal or PR complications (especially since she's literally one of the most successful witers of modern history, and the nexus of a multibillion-dollar multimedia entertainment franchise). At that point, you just have to seriously consider the possibility that she and her publishers deliberately chose the pen name as a dogwhistle.

        Last month, Rowling returned a human rights award she received from the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights (RFKHR) organization after the president of the body, Kerry Kennedy, criticized her views on transgender issues.

        Wow. When even your liberal heroes consider your views to be beyond the pale.

          Just admit you like the guy because he fucking tortured gay and trans people you asshole

          I hate when people try to feign ignorance on a subject even when it is very apparent that they are not and they just hold abhorrent views, the disgusting nature of which they realize.
