I'm not, like, a better writer than women generally, I'm not even a better writer than the women I follow on Twitter But most everyone I follow on Twitter is more thoughtful and a better communicator than Rowling

Is this opinion colored by her horrific politics? Of course it is I do, however, upon consideration, stand by it

Nah my opinion of her writing, her success and the political/commercial circumstances of that success had been souring for years I mean Alan Moore made Harry Potter the Antichrist in his comic in 2012 and I basically came around to thinking he had a point

At least admit that this pile-on is largely politically motivated, dude. If JKR was a good girl, submissive to the political desires of the most left-wing activists, no one would be insulting her now.

The last really big backlash on JKR before this was over her retconning Nagini into always having been a human, and the one before that was saying that wizards used to poop on the floor before toilets were invented I wouldn't call those "political", exactly

(Although making Nagini into an *Asian* human in particular was kinda racist) But no, there's been a steady buildup of annoyance at JKR for a while now, and an ongoing backlash to the books' outsize popularity ("Read another book!" is a meme about it)

Oh, come on, would the woman who created the deep, well-researched, very three-dimensional character of Cho Chang treat the character of Nagini with anything other than absolute care and respect? I think not!
