      Yeah see I ultimately don't care that much about whether JKR "earned her money" Who cares, the whole system is a crapshoot, respect the hustle, etc What I do know is that the status and influence she has among young fans is unearned It's always unearned, it's a privilegehttps://twitter.com/Ceilidhann/status/1270273721517760512 …

      What I appreciate about Daniel Radcliffe's statement beyond his basic human decency is his understanding of how HP impacted so many kids and the real pain many feel over Rowling's transphobia tainting those memories. The relationship between writer, fan & creation is weighty.

      Nobody stewards that privilege perfectly But as time goes on she seems less and less aware of it as a privilege A lot of shitty famous people do this, they end up going "Hey I'm still a regular guy, why can't I just say whatever I feel like saying, why is it my job to be nice"

      Like it sounds silly to put the dumb shit about wizards pooping themselves on the same level as blatant transphobia But it's similar in that they're both the result of this "Why should I have to have a filter" attitude

      Like let's be clear, Pottermore was a broken promise She had said she had adult books to write now, other interests to pursue, she was going to leave the Harry Potter series alone as something finished and complete, it was "for the fans" now

      And she went back on that hard "Why should it be for the fans? Why shouldn't it still be for me Why shouldn't I get the clicks and the revenue from continuing to talk about Harry Potter, especially since they'll pay me for any crap I make up"

      The story of her alienating her fans more and more - by turning her Twitter into an anti-Corbyn political take factory, by milking the franchise in increasingly desperate ways - culminates in this ugly spectacle

      "I don't care if a huge number of my fans are trans, THIS IS WHAT I THINK OF YOU ALL" And then screenshotting a tweet to dunk on some random fan who dares to talk back to her

          I wonder if JKR ever had a publicist. I wonder if she did and fired them at some point, or just decided she didn't need one. It seems like someone in her tax bracket who is still putting out material wouldn't be able to go without one. Maybe we're seeing the consequences of that.

          Like, of course common sense should decree "don't say shitty bigoted things on social media" but where are the people in her life who should be telling her this?
