    J.K. Rowling is a billionaire, think about that. She has access to a resources on a scale that is unimaginable to most people and uses those considerable resources to actively harm an entire group of people, transgender people, simply for being who they are. I know I am screaming into a void with this comment to you, but the fact that what J.K. Rowling does is standard issue capitalism does not make the feelings of the OP hollow.

      You just proved my point. You aren’t mad about the media. You’re mad about who’s become a billionaire off it but what you’re trying to do is impotent at best and actively hurting your position from my more cynical perspective. But it’s too late, she’s already so rich your grand standing can’t ever hope to achieve anything of measure.

      Do something useful with your time instead of bitching about Nickleback as a popular catharsis. You’re more likely to alienate people who could have been allies than achieve anything of merit (or even statistical significance)

        Someone who thinks giving up Rowling is too big an ask was never an ally in any way that actually means anything…

          Her fans of which there are tens of millions dumb dumb. Like swifies. And yeah, you don’t have a lot of allies. It’s part of why you’re losing. Idealistic child.

          I bet you call people “terf” and think it’s insulating. Not realizing it can only hurt people who give a shit about trans people. A masturbatory insult if you will

          My point is this is as stupid as bitching about the newest Taylor Swift album. Possibly dumber.
