I mean if nothing else, JK Rowling being a piece of shit should be a gateway to checking out other works that HP eclipsed, and realizing that she wasn't shit to begin with.

Terry Pratchett is a good place to start
Speaking from experience, Terry Pratchett is a GREAT place to start.

I also recommend "Vita Nostra" by the Dyachenkos.

Goddamnit Joanne.

She's rich enough to spend the rest of her life on a tropical island surrounded by oiled up himbos serving her on hand, yet she spends her time doing this.

Pratchett is so far beyond her. Plus some good representation of trans people, other minorities and some biting satire of society/those in power.

Holy shit, this is worse than I thought. One thing is having your opinion about what a woman is or not. Another is being so militant about your anti trans sentiment and spewing pure hate and lies, specially so when being such a high profile artist that used to be respected by this community in particular. She can fuck the right off to hell.

Mostly by Dragon Age fans, as not sure how well known he even is outside that franchise.

That Greg Ellis? Is he known outside Dragon Age? Why is her friending him notable?

Well she claims to be concerned that trans women are a threat to non-trans women, but is choosing to be supportive of a man who factually engaged in predatory behavior (Like revenge porn against his wife).

I like Pratchett's work but it's a little more heavy reading than Harry Potter. The fact it's not uncommon to have half pages dedicated to giving extra context to what you're writing by use of asterisks should tell you that. I love them but lets not fool ourselves into thinking they'd ever get anywhere near the popularity of Harry Potter.

Potter is aimed at kids and Discworld et al is more young adult.

Isnt most asterisk stuff just 'irrelevant' lore or just a comedic note?

I do agree they are sadly unlikely to be as popular though.

But then I have to ask why she would assume any trans person to be a predator while friending a confirmed predator (Greg Ellis).

Just going to point out that Pratchett sold over 100 million books.

Not as many as Rowling, sure, but he was still a hugely popular mainstream writer of best selling novels, not some niche author whose work is too challenging for the masses.

Oh no doubt. I have a solid few of his books as well. Mort is fantastic. I meant more in main stream popularity. But like I said different audiences.

HP is for young kids.

Discworld isn't.

I'm just tired of all the stuff I grew up on uniquely shitting itself for various reasons.

Between all the Rowling stuff, Naruto somehow going to shit in multiple directions at once and being a joke of a series now, single-player Final Fantasy becoming a joke the instant I wanted to start playing them and 13 released (which went on to be a shit game three times)...

I'm unable to look back at my life without just realizing how garbage everything ended up being and getting all down about it.

Well yes, he didnt get knighted due to not selling books. Rowling is just one of the top selling authors in the world, where Terry is just one of the best sellers in the UK.

I still have pretty much every Pratchett book and Discworld is one of my favourite fantasy series.

*sigh* I really need to stop engaging transphobes.

I was earnestly curious in a woman who argued the way JK was arguing, that a victim of a rape should not have to refer to her rapist as a woman. She even agreed that it was possible for women to rape. She even agreed that misgendering in a courtroom (when a judge tells the person not to) can result in being found in contempt of court.

But after an hour of discussion, she broke and unleashed the torrent of "also I don't want trans women in toilet, changing rooms, sports, etc."

And it's only a small part of me that feels vindicated in breaking that open, and the rest of me just feels disappointed.

Additionally I can believe that her view might have started out because of legit hardship, but her problem is thinking that being a victim makes her behavior just by default.

Otherwise those who did her wrong would have to receive the same consideration.
