Diseased Rowling Derangement Syndrome - "TERF/Woke Author Bad!!1"

Question. Do any of you believe that Rowling suffered severe bias against the male species because of several factors related to the men in her life that trickled its way into her work?
Why do people think Rowling is some man-hater just because she doesn't like AGPs? She is clearly happily married with several children. Of course the abuse of her ex-husband influenced her to speak out against the current lunacy and to advocate for the safety of women, but she never showed any general hatred for men as a whole.

I've only been curious on the matter. I don't personally have anything against Rowling. It's just a lot of her decisions over the years have contributed to a lot of her detractors.
 
Additionally, Universal will never close or replace their Harry Potter attractions. Harry Potter prints money. It’s bigger than ever. Their useless boycotts have not worked. The franchise has allowed Universal, which was a distant second to Disney twenty years ago, to renovate all their park properties, build multiple resort hotels, and build additional parks all over the world. I’m pretty confident one of the only reasons why Universal Parks survived was because of Harry Potter.
My family had always gone to Disney, but ever since Universal brought in Harry Potter and the extra cash flow allowed them to step up their game and clean up their parks, we've decided to start going there instead. I absolutely agree, Universal would have been dead in the water without Harry Potter and it was because J.K. Rowling is so passionate about her creation that the land became so successful. There is absolutely no way she would ever sell it off.
 
New series of Strike announced by the way. Gets nowhere near as much awareness as the Harry Potter stuff but it's nice to see people are still adapting her other work too.


British actors Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger are set to return for the next chapter of JK Rowling's crime drama, Strike. The four-part series will see Burke back as private detective Cormoran Strike, with Grainger reprising her role as his secretary Robin Ellacott.

A sneak peek photo from the first day of filming shows the actors on set with a clapperboard labelled The Ink Black Heart. This is the title of the sixth book in the Harry Potter author's Strike series, written under her pen name Robert Galbraith.

The Ink Black Heart was published in August 2022, followed by Rowling's latest Strike novel, The Running Grave, in September 2023. In the 2022 book, Edie Ledwell, co-creator of the popular cartoon The Ink Black Heart, seeks help from Robin as she's being harassed by an online figure.


Despite initially turning her away, Robin and Strike are drawn into the case after learning that Edie has been fatally stabbed in Highgate Cemetery. Their mission becomes uncovering the identity of the online persona Anomie, who had been tormenting Edie.


Returning cast members include Ruth Sheen as Pat, Strike's office manager, Jack Greenlees as Sam Barclay, and Natasha O'Keeffe as Charlotte.

The BBC show, made in partnership with HBO and Warner Bros, will have four one-hour episodes. The previous five series of Strike, the last of which aired in 2022, can be watched on BBC iPlayer
 
Rowling recognizes that people who rise up the ranks of government officials are largely useless, self-interested fuckheads. Based.
True, but it's this mindset that the story tends to come short when even lightly scrutinized. When only Hermione (Rowling herself) is in charge, then everything is hunky dory. The "right people", if you will. Considering the colossal failure that was both the previous Tory and Labour governments, she could stand to be a little more impartial.

Other fanfics writers have taken the time to give Rufus Scrimgeour more credit than in canon. An actual man of action and not some fuckwit bureaucrat.

I haven't read the Strike books but I thought the show was a pretty good mystery drama with the kind of ongoing character development you'd expect from her if you read Potter. I imagine JK is more involved with Strike than HP since it's her own production company making it. These days the cast is getting long in the tooth, if they do more series it should really be more than once every two years. Is book 6 the one with unhinged tranny as the villain I heard about when it was published?

Strike is the only British show I've liked since Sherlock, but Sherlock shit the bed so hard there's a hole in the mattress. Doc Martin was another I liked, had an amazing upswing in season 2-4 before severe decline into a decade of irrelevance and wheel spinning. But like all things ymmv.
 
They all continue to nurture this idea that JKR is going to sell the rights to Harry Potter, which will give them all permission to openly enjoy it again. It is absolutely never going to happen. There is no amount of money that could be offered to her to give up her rights to her own creative works, because it’s about more than money to her. She is one of those few, deeply principled people who cannot be bought.

Additionally, Universal will never close or replace their Harry Potter attractions. Harry Potter prints money. It’s bigger than ever. Their useless boycotts have not worked. The franchise has allowed Universal, which was a distant second to Disney twenty years ago, to renovate all their park properties, build multiple resort hotels, and build additional parks all over the world.

If Rowling purchased the rights to Sonic (or whatever the trannies' favorite media empire is) she would go from Queen TERF to Goddess TERF. TERFs should invade tranny spaces the same way that trannies invade women's spaces.

They’d be on 41% watch if she bought the rights to Steven Universe and Splatoon.

It's always funny when troons and other fags think Harry Potter is just going to magically lose all of its popularity. It may no longer be popular in their little cluster of degenerates, but it's still the seventh highest grossing media franchise of all time. Shit is here to stay, no matter how much they complain and bitch about it.
 
Is book 6 the one with unhinged tranny as the villain I heard about when it was published?
It's really funny. Troubled blood has a killer who happens to put on women's clothing as a disguise, but he's not a troon at all. Just a dude wearing a disguise. Troons flipped their shit. Meanwhile, The Silkworm has an honest to goodness troon in it, who is a fucking borderline horrorshow. You'd think the trannies would have flipped out about that, but maybe they didn't mind that one since they just thought it was normal. As always, troons are mentally defective.

Edit: of course all troons are nothing but dudes wearing disguises, but you know what I mean. In Troubled Blood he's wearing a disguise so he doesn't get caught for murder. In The Silkworm, he wears a disguise because he's an AGP borderline.
 
Is book 6 the one with unhinged tranny as the villain I heard about when it was published?
I don't think so but I believe it is the one where the victim got accused of, amongst other things, transphobia by an online mob.

Interesting to know it's alright, might give it a watch.

Nibba it only took you ten or so posts but you’re finally getting to the point you’re trying to make. Have my two cents:

I do genuinely believe Rowling is nobody who „hates“ anyone that didn’t personally give her good reason to do so.
But I also know what you probably think feels „off“ about the story, the whole „just the right people in charge“ reeks of 14 year old mature for their age politics fixers „if we just put very smart scientists in control everything will be perfect 🤓“.
This is not because of her hate for men (which I don’t believe she has), though granted, it might be slightly influenced by her probable and understandable dislike for traditional masculinity.

But this is the main problem with Harry Potter, and also the reason it used to be so fucking popular with leftists:
Harry Potter is an academic power fantasy. That’s it. It’s a daydream for people that had to find out that doing good in school won‘t guarantee that the tables of social hierarchy will turn around when you’re older and chad will be the not-cool one instead of you, but if only magic were real your big brain and empathy would finally give you the status you rightfully deserve for being so gifted and having so much innate value (especially compared to muggles=stupid people and bullies=evil people)…

That’s my take, with the added disclaimer that I still dearly love the original series.
