    Yeah, she’s like the richest private citizen or the richest private female citizen in the United Kingdom. No amount of hate is going to change that. She’s getting paid from the interest. If we could take her money because we don’t like her, we wouldn’t, because it would be used on us instead. Let her have her money, it won’t ever buy back all the goodwill she’s pissed away.

    And I don’t know how popular she is these days… the people she’s sucking up to are the same people who wanted her books banned 20 years ago. What even is her angle, anyway? She taught a generation of kids to stand up for themselves and each other and to explore their potential while being attacked by the alt right, but now that she’s made her money, she’s joining them? It doesn’t make any sense. The left doesn’t like her because she’s anti-trans and the right doesn’t like her because she made Harry Potter.

      Her money is being used against us now. Also the right is happy to embrace any rich person who embraces hatred regardless of past actions.

        Past actions?

        She’s always been like this.

        The only asian character in her books is effectively named ching chong.
