    This informs why she continues to be mentioned. If people stopped interacting with her she’d literally go away.

      That’s true of literally everyone, though.

      Unfortunately, she’s a billionaire with a lot of clout and powerful friends, so it’s highly unlikely that everyone will just start collectively ghosting her any time soon.

      Those of us who see her for what she is doing so is still a good start.

        Also, she may be riding and amplifying the current wave of transphobia, but the rot runs deep. Especially in the UK, where even supposedly progressive parties and publications are just salivating at the thought of hurting trans people.

        JKR is not the source of the poop. She’s just the largest turd.

      Once you’re a world-renowned creator of a massive multimedia franchise and a billionaire that lives in a castle and uses your vast fortune to create legal troubles for a marginalized group and for anyone who points out you’re persecuting said marginalized group, there’s no amount of ignoring that will make you go away. The only way to make her go away is to aggressively fight back against her bullshit.

      She’s probably the useful idiot for someone so as long as that “need” exists she’ll be shoved (willingly) into the spotlight.

      That’s not how lobbying works.🙃
      She’s paying for this entire network of hate.

      Evidently childhood fandom is more important than protecting our most vulnerable
