??? Who said it was an excuse? It is just what it is. I know the imagery of rowling fuming and breaking her keyboard before going to her giant billionaire keyboard closet to pick out a new one in tears makes everyone warm and fuzzy in their tummies but it just isn't how it is, except maybe the keyboard closet part. BIllionaires do not give a FUCK about what any of us think, ESPECIALLY not even in their own continent. They DO however still love the attention of their peon subjects, thus the Jk Rowling twitter cycle is born and shall continue until the day she grows old and dies because people will never stop replying to her, and she will never stop loving that attention
You'd think that billionaires wouldn't care. I don't think I'd care if I were that rich. But surprisingly, a lot of them
do
care. And they can be really petty about it.
I think it really bothers JK Rowling that people are disagreeing with her so strongly and so uniformly. I think she's telling herself that she's right and history will vindicate her, but she can see the signs that she's wrong. And the cognitive dissonance is genuinely bothering her.
