You know, even now, you can look at JK Rowling's mentions and see that she gets more people telling her they love her and will always support her in an hour than some people get their entire lives She continues to enjoy all the blessings of fame and exploit them shamelessly

Not that you have to have that to become a transphobic dickweed, there's plenty of those all around But the particular sense JKR has that her shit doesn't stink and that she has the right to say whatever the fuck she wants and doesn't have to listen to anyone, that's learned

And all the shitty little Crabbes and Goyles just keep on feeding it People are pissed not just at people who called out JKR but at all the "cowards" who didn't "defend her when it counted" Like she's the Queen and her vassals have sworn to raise the regiments in times of war

Man I sure wish I were important enough that I had a bunch of minions running around, not just harassing people who attacked me, but harassing other people who DIDN'T DEFEND ME HARD ENOUGH WHILE I WAS BEING ATTACKED God that must feel awesome

It's just really, really frustrating the breadth and depth of this DARVO We're being told that JKR is a lightning rod for controversy, a Christlike figure of endless suffering and persecution she never asked for, when she's still constantly surrounded by fawning worshipers

That she's "under attack" because of a fight SHE STARTED, that she's "under siege" when she's the one with the invading army Fuck's sake

Without wanting to simplify too many things into one, I am gradually developing a theory that the true “original sin”, the root of all evil, is the sense of “entitlement”.

(I am not particularly read up on philosophy, so if this is a well known thing, I am happy to be on the right path. But the concept just keeps popping up everywhere)
