Sorry Henry Darger isn't a bad person, he was just not very good at BEING a person, that's not fair of me but I ran out of characters

I don't know much about Todd either actually but his books certainly aren't very GOOD whilst still being miles above and beyond JKR'shttps://twitter.com/bellethetired/status/1150892609239277568 …

I looked it up and the people who wrote the screenplay for SUPER MARIO BROS are Parker Bennett, Terry Runté and Ed Solomon And I want to make it clear here that that work alone proves them better writers than JKR

People whose writing is worse than JKR's: • Seltzer and Friedberg • That guy who wrote Empress Theresa • Mike Michaud and the Walker brothers • Hitler That's basically all I got

Okay that isn't even fair, Tara Gillespie was a shining star and she's better than most of the people I've already listed except Henry Dargerhttps://twitter.com/scots_dragon/status/1150895190548393985 …

Janice Raymond, Germaine Greer, et all are not listed here because in my taxonomy these sorts of women are cladistically indistinct from JKRhttps://twitter.com/Nymphomachy/status/1150894288840142848 …

Byron Hall is worse than JKR but by a narrower margin than you'd think

Better than JKR Also, Orson Scott Card and the Left Behind dipshits? Better than JKR Uwe Boll? WAY better than JKRhttps://twitter.com/Cybren/status/1150898994954080262 …

Okay fine Benioff and Weiss are worse writers than JKR because even at simply ADAPTING an already not very good story they somehow made it exponentially more offensive and stupid, and then they came up with Confederate JKR at least pretended to write something original

Bari Weiss is not a better writer than JKR, or a worse one, because she's not a writer, she's a malign influence who seeks to expand her Nightmare Kingdom until even I am forced to wear her tenebrous livery

Ughhhh the SPN writers are, in fact, worse than JKR They're just bad Like JKR's writing is abominable but it's not "wanting to die just so you don't have to be alive in a universe that has SPN" bad

Okay, this has convinced me to move the Left Behind authors below the Rowline (credit to
@Cybren for coining that) On the same token Dan Brown is probably worse than JKRhttps://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1150908040272441344 …Show this thread -
Kripke appalls me so, so, so much as a writer Here's what I'm gonna do: I'm gonna say Kripke is worse than JKR as well as Benioff and Weiss but to HIS EXTREMELY MEAGER CREDIT he would probably score better on the Turing Test than any of themhttps://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1150909288870625280 …

Lower because those guys killed exponentially more lesbians and somehow had even LESS to say Kripke, to his credit, at least didn't INTEND to give the whole fucking narrative to Mishahttps://twitter.com/Tsilkani/status/1150909585265500160 …

Tim Buckley wasn't a better writer than JKR ...I was preparing to put some oil on the fire with him and I just can't, I can't Tim Buckley is an art cancer—he's not even a worse human than JKR and he probably IS more earnest but that just makes it all the worse how much he sucks

Joss Whedon is a better writer than most of the people I've named if not all of them, though he IS bad and he IS overrated and he IS a positively loathsome and appalling human being, like somewhere between JKR and Hardwick on the badness scalehttps://twitter.com/bellethetired/status/1150914888476139520 …

Special exception in the case of Dan Patterson and Janet Evanovich These authors are nominally below the Rowline but are effectively a dark reflection of JKR, they are her bottom-feeding, more obviously capitalist reflections JKR bonobos, if you willhttps://twitter.com/Nymphomachy/status/932274005716979712 …

All of them are WELL above the Rowline, except for Bay who is probably the closest case of nigh-parity with the Rowline we've come up with Though I could see a case for him being SLIGHTLY better at storytellinghttps://twitter.com/fiddlersgreen92/status/1150917348024553473 …

It gives me great pain me to say this but Seth McFarlane is also above the Rowline Trey Parker and Matt Stone, however, are not They are not merely terrible writers who have nothing to offer anyone but edge: they are world-killers

Phantom Menace is a bad movie but had JKR written the screenplay it would have destroyed all of human civilization with its awfulness: George Lucas is well above the Rowline

Tricky He's well above the Rowline but in his own right he deserves to be a benchmark by which pretension about one's work, as well as writing in a form GENUINELY COLDLY INCONSIDERATE to his audience, is measuredhttps://twitter.com/fiddlersgreen92/status/1150923476921925635 …

This one is a rerun but Dave Sim's wayyyyyy better than JKR

Honestly it's kind of an insult to Anne Rice to speak her name in the same sentence as JKR, Rice, for all her weird horribleness, genuinely gave a damn, and she even implicitly put a trans character in her books (Lestat's mom) Hamilton... not so muchhttps://twitter.com/CountessofDimes/status/1150938379707736066 …

I looked that one up and whew uhhhhhhhhhhhhh I haven't read her so I can't say for certain but from what little I can tell I'd probably put her in the Piers Anthony/Yudkowsky slumhttps://twitter.com/doctorflopsy/status/1150943876112240641 …

If Chuck Lorre and JKR were to be judged strictly on the basis of the inherent morality of unleashing their particular creations upon the world, Lorre would make Rowling look like a Sainthttps://twitter.com/BenGSchout/status/1150946121444802560 …

The CinemaSins guys are below the Rowline and in fact even Tim Buckley looks like JRR Tolkien by comparison They're not just below the Rowline, they're in the Abyssopelagic zonehttps://twitter.com/BenGSchout/status/1150952596573548545 …

To be clear, I think her name well belongs among the likes of Penders and Meyer, and I don't hold her in great regard, but ultimately she's not meaningfully in the proximity of the Rowlinehttps://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1150957908512759808 …
