JK Rowling compares herself to convicted rapist while threatening “brain injury” against critics
Rowling has used her vast wealth, mostly accumulated through the success of her Harry Potter franchise and its many multimedia spinoffs, to personally fund legal cases aimed at diminishing rights and protections for transgender women in the U.K. and Ireland.

Fuck off Joanne
The entire story is that she Tweeted on Xitter:
I don't think anyone is saying that. In this strange, strange straw man, the reason to punch Mike Tyson in the face is because it was his job to punch people in the face and occasionally get punched in his own face. If you punched him in the face and knocked him out, then it would stand to reason that you're better at his job than he is.
And, to get ahead of the jokes: no, it was not his job to bite off ears. He never professionally bit ears because he wasn't paid to specifically do that. I poop while I'm on the clock at work, but that doesn't make me a professional pooper; it just means that I'm able to get my job done with time to spew shit.
So, the equivalent of punching Tyson in the face in Rowling's analogy would be to write better than her. And people do that all the time. Sure, lots of people paid good money for her writing, but it's still not good writing. Other good writers exist and constantly prove how sub-par she is, professionals and amateurs alike.
As evidence of the White Power Wizard's inability to convey a coherent thought, in her incredibly weird logical leap of how she punches back, she's referring to her insane bigoted battle against human rights. Her threat to punch back with bigotry would be the same as Tyson defending his boxing career by comparing how many ears anyone else has bitten off, or me trying to claim that I'm an essential employee because of how many hours I've spent on the toilet at work.
Unless someone is willing to pay her and give her the job title of "Genital Consistency Expert," then her idiotic post is proof that she's not doing her job and needs to be fired. And just like my job would probably take away money from me to recuperate unworked hours and damages, the people she's been shitting on should receive hefty payouts for the Asinine Author's use of her platform to cause pain and damages.
Now why on earth would a cisgender, heterosexual woman compare herself to a man when she's trying (and failing) to defend herself against valid criticism?
Who is this JK Bowling person and why do people care so much what they say?
exactly, this has-been is getting far too much air.
She's a billionaire and author of ex-beloved children's series, Harry Potter.
She currently (and for YEARS now) uses a LOT of her money and influence for hateful bigoted political movements and calls it philanthropy. She targets trans and queer people with her hate, primarily, but lately, her views are becoming more and more clearly far right.
She continues to make a shit ton of money through negligence and denial of supporting her and her ideals because TV series and movies and merch and fandom continue.
She often targets individuals publicly, posting about them on social media.
Think: super hateful person, except billionaire who's actively getting richer and actively and successfully uses hundreds of millions of dollars a year to influence politics to make life worse for everybody, even those she claims to protect.
And the controversy is that the goal is to boycott her works to starve her of income and platform, but there are bots and real people who argue against that at every point of arguable logic, using ignorance, bad logic, appealing to exhaustion, weaponized negligence, and dog whistles. Every so often, she does another shitty thing and posts pop up about her, and there's always a few people who either: eternally simp for her, argue against her but whose solutions are ineffective, or just try anything to pretend it isn't a big deal.
Thanks for taking the time to explain. On the ignore list she goes!
Go ahead and step up to give me a brain injury, then, bitch. Literally, preferably since you'll need to be within arms reach.
Honestly I 100% believe that even though he's apparebtky a piece of shit, Tyson would absolutely not give me a brain injury, he'd laugh and go back to what he was doing.
Young Tyson probably would fuck you uo, he was pretty ruthless before he mellowed a lot.
100%, he was a hothead and worse.
Modern day him doesn't give a shit.
