I reserve ‘cunt’ and ‘dumb bitch’ as especially strong, disrespectful expletives to call a woman.
When I say “Fuck that dumb bitch TERF cunt JK Rowling” it carries the hurt and ire of a broken childhood love of Harry Potter. The series itself was incredibly important to me and provided a world I could escape to when the real world was overwhelming. The hate and bigotry that cunt has shown breaks my heart and sullies too many childhood memories to describe.
I was deeply inspired to pursue engineering after watching the first Falcon 9 boosters land themselves. I was enamored by the idea of using my little blip in humanity’s timeline to assist our expansion to another planet. I wanted to contribute to something important, something that turned many brilliant minds towards an achievement that would eventually benefit the entirety of mankind.
I even hopped on the Tesla train; I recognized the existential threat that carbon emissions bore as well as the damaging, restrictive nature of building a society that scorns public transportation and promotes individual car ownership.
I didn’t worship Elon so much as admired the causes he was advancing. That admiration withered over the years but my dream of contributing to the colonization of Mars helped me push through the ten years it took to earn my four year engineering degree. As details of his derangement came out, as he acquired twitter and more overtly spread his billionaire propaganda, that dream started to fade. The fascist salutes at Trump’s inauguration crushed those dreams and ground them into a dust too fine to even attempt a rebuild.
My jaded ass still wants to benefit humanity so I’ve set my eyes on climate science, even as the country I was born in denies the havoc and damage our relentless consumption has wrought. Not just denial, but outright derision and contempt for the future of our world. Thus I hope to take my dreams elsewhere, hoping to find a culture with a clearer view of the consequences we must face and the changes we must make to preserve our planet.
I agree now as an adult that Harry Potter isn’t that great. But I was about 6 or 7 when my mom bought me the first book and we read them together. It was my first book so I had nothing to compare it to. I absolutely loved it and thought it was the greatest thing ever. Those memories are extremely special to me and many other people have similar experiences with it. Now that I’m an adult, I’ve tried to reread them and yes I believe she was very mediocre with her writing, but I was still a massive fan so it still felt awful when she unleashed her bigotry. I don’t understand why any of that is funny or why you think young children should’ve held their first series of books to such a high standard as to what you have today.
She wrote books for children. 500 million+ copies have been sold globally. It’s obviously not trash, and she’s obviously very talented author in that genre. I get that some people have an irrational hatred towards her, but denying reality that strongly is certainly going to cause some psychological damage.
I think your use of the term “irrational” there says something potentially undesirable about you. People hate her for a very good reason, regardless of the contents of her books.

some people eluded her books as part of her way of expressing her bigotry.
I love watching Harry Potter fans get mad over JK Rowling.
It was always trash and they always had no standards. It’s nice to see that crowd have to separate mediocre art from mediocre artists.

It’s sad if you think that means it’s not trash.
Lots of things are sad, like your having psychological damage.
Lol. Everyone who thinks harry potter is trash has ‘psychological damage.’
You need help.
No worries, I can help myself in this case quite easily by blocking a person who will obviously never contribute anything worth reading. Bye.
