TopicI'm out of the loop. Apparently, people hate J.K. Rowling?

She's really big on the "we have to protect autistic people from being tricked into becoming trans, the poor, stupid, gullible things" and "we have to protect cis women from rapists by not letting trans people use women's bathrooms" shtick, often citing studies that she either completely misrepresents, or "studies" that couldn't survive peer review in order to support her assertions.

I assume that the backlash over her most recent book is what caught your attention. It's a brick that revolves around an artist getting canceled by le woke mob and then murdered, and includes weird jabs not just at trans people, but at people with disabilities as well, but I think the thing that people are getting a real kick out of is that it has pages and pages and pages and pages and pages of fake social media posts, the poor formatting of which apparently makes the kindle version virtually unreadable (wonder if they've fixed that yet?). Personally I couldn't be bothered to even read them, but there are other parts of the book that are worth laughing at, some of them read like they're trying to parody Rowling instead of being her own writing:

DMed, as Robin knew, meant that Anomie had sent Kea a direct message.

he felt an unfamiliar glow of vicarious pride and for a few minutes wondered whether this sort of feeling accounted for peoples desire to procreate,

one of the bright overhead lights illuminated her breasts so that they looked like twin moons

I told her I didnt want to read any more lines about The Worm being confused about being a boy or a girl, because wed had complaints from non-binary kids. That caused another row. A worm is a hermaphrodite, though. Tim shook his head sadly.

Strike had no idea what the need for spoons referred to and assumed it was a piece of whimsy, possibly from some book or film he didnt know.

Fifteen, profoundly autistic, and convinced she'd found real friends online... of course she fell for it.

...

One really has to question why it is Rowling bothers to try writing books for adults if this is the level of quality she's hitting, lol.
