Post I read elsewhere. Her uncle or aunt had brought her these books but she burnt them all in response to Rowlings tweets.

Fair?

Reminds me of this mother who threw out this kids pokemon cards back in 2005/2006. She said the kid had a char izard, which back then it was worth over a hundred. Told her next time, take them to a card shop and sell them.

Reminds me of the guy who "broke video game discs" for similar stupid reasons.

I won't judge because... well... sure I'd never do something as wasteful as burn a book instead of recycling it but I did do something to my ff13 disc that I won't repeat >_> . I was just so mad at this piece of shit from se

I'll never understand book burnings. Just throw it out if you want it destroyed so bad.

Reminds me of this time, back when I still went to church. They had a burning of evil/bad things, so you can imagine pokemon, star wars, music. So we stood around smelling plastic from video games and CDs melting. I didn't bring anything to burn, but gimme some of that delicious cancer/health risk.

My copy of Earthbound with the original box ate a hammer before being tossed in the garbage. That sure taught me a lesson.

Yeah, tell me about it. I die inside a little bit every time I'm reminded and about 10 years ago I came across a remnant of the torn box that cowered away under stuff. Thing is, that was the only game of mine to face that fate.

I can only assume it was too weird and unchristian. At least that's what I'd like to believe. I don't think they even knew what it was about, and it was just luck of the draw.

It has to be dramatic or they don't feel important for doing it

I would have given them away. Allow people to read the books without giving Rowling another penny.

It's funny how 15 years ago, it was fundamental christians who were burning HP books, and now it's the complete opposite end of the political spectrum doing it.

But in all honesty, destroying your own stuff to make a point is dumb. She should have sold the copies and donated the money to some pro LGBT organization if she actually wanted to make a point, but people who burn their stuff are more interested in the attention than any particular cause.

What an idiot, the author got the money the moment they were bought, if she sold them she would have gotten a huge payday.

but economic illiteracy is an epidemic

I think that comparing burning your own books as a method of disposal to "book burning" in the way that some of you are saying it is pretty absurd.

No they are still burning them. Also feom Rowling's perspective everyone who hates her views are to the right of her. She is so far left her beliefs that in her mind Trans Rights Activists are at the same level as Incels and Trump Supporters. No one on the left is attacking her as to her only those that agree with her are in the keft.

And what exactly did she do for the mainstream to hate her? I forget

I'm guessing racism? That means fucking nothing right now. Calling people racist is nothing more than a faux political attack on people the MSM disagrees with. It's completely baseless with no evidence.. and yet they keep getting away with it.

Roseanne showed support for trump; RACIST! kick her off her own show!

I bet Ben Carson was a trump fan because he believes in true liberty. Is he a racist too? Black hating on blacks, right?

If you don't like trump that's fine but to lie and attack people's well being for being a free thinker and having their own personal opinion is fucking insane. This is supposed to be the USA not cuba or china.

It's your property, and you can do whatever the hell you want with it.
Burning someone else's books is where the problems start.

Such a brilliant display of right wing jackwagonry that it's hard to tell if it's genuine or performance art.
