Rowling made her fortune on a book series about a young boy over coming abandonment and abuse to fight against prejudice and slavery. Then her audience grew up, realized the death eaters were never punished. The students who shared their ideas never had their minds changed. The slaves were never freed. A bunch of her characters are racist, like the irish dude who tries to transfigure water into rum and blows things up (1), the Asian descended character being named Cho Chang (2), or the Goblins being a Jewish caricature straight out of 1930s Germany (3). Her wise old teacher character that she wanted people to like ends up raising the hero in an abusive home so he would kill himself when the time is right (4). And when the series is over and people are starting to realize the ending to a book they grew up with ended so badly she tries to act woke by making announcements like Hermione is black (5) and dumbledore is gay (6). And when she tried to use her character to show lgbt acceptance she then turns around and denounces teans people, writes a book about a guy crossdressing as a woman to go into women's bathrooms and murder them, and when people start criticizing her she writes another book about how people who criticize a popular author were happy to murder her because they were just jealous and not that they had valid criticisms.

1 - Have to say I'm not remembering this.

2 - So...you're mad that the ethnically Chinese character has a Chinese name? Maybe her parents just weren't very creative when it came to picking a name.

3 - Fair. Tolkien kinda did the same thing with the dwarves, though, one of their primary motivations was money.

4 - Dumbledore was revealed to be less heroic and more 'ends justify the means', that was the point of his character, that eventually Harry realized how far DD would go.

5 - That was just support for the original Cursed Child actress.

6 - Wasn't really relevant to the story one way or the other.
