“Rowling fundamentally fancies herself as an oligarch and is upset that she is a failure at it.”

  1. JKR: Stands up for women
    Also JKR: trashes other women

  2. She also called Sturgeon a monomaniac. I mean, come on Rowling. Nothing pinged in your brain when you wrote that?

  3. I’ve seen JKR attack people on X and make it about gender when the original story or post had absolutely nothing to do with gender or gender politics. She wants to speak about gender so that’s what she speaks about regardless and always negatively.

  4. Trans people: doesnt feel like shes failed that much 

  5. Fancies herself an oligarch and spends everyday worrying about my trans bits and bobs and where I pee.

  6. It’s sad that none of this guy’s mates told him that ‘oligarch’ doesn’t mean what he thinks it means.

    Probably calls anyone who doesn’t vote green a fascist.

  7. Sturgeon said that she suffered from imposter syndrome. Quite not understanding that you have to not be an imposter to start with.

  8. I mean trans rights have been totally shit on right? She did abuse her platform and the political landscape has changed… I think she’s horrible and is fundamentally wrong, but she’s got her way.

  9. I think you’ll find JKR has been quite successful really

  10. She’s an embarrassment to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 our own wee Elon 😆

  11. Not convinced she failed to influence the landscape of Scottish politics. Have you seen what’s been happening recently?

  12. So, Rowling has already set human rights for women and trans people in the whole of the UK back by 100 years – and now she’s attempting to set back devolution by decades, is she…?

    The sooner she is out of the picture the better. Now, I’m not suggesting anything extreme – just that she and her intellectual properties should be boycotted.

  13. Every second post on this sub is about JKR. Y’all are obsessed

  14. Rowling is a billionaire and doing what she wants. Sturgeon abused what power she had alongside her corrupt husband

    Massive coping and seething in the comments

  15. If I was a billionaire the last place you’d see me was on X

  16. You know sometimes it’s better just not to give a fuck?

    Like If you don’t like JK maybe try not following her on twitter.

    Like how long does it take for people to figure out that the best way to cancel someone is just to stop.

    Just stop please stop.

    Lets just talk about something else something nice for a change….

    Yes I’m aware of the irony of asking the internet to be nice for once.

  17. An oligarch typically has a monopoly (or at least significant control over) some sector or industry of vital importance to the state or that significantly impacts the lives of ordinary people such as oil, gas, armaments, etc. Rowling wrote some (imo overrated) children’s fantasy novels over 20 years ago and spun them out into a multimedia empire and has coasted on that ever since. Impressive, sure, but hardly anything that has the weight behind it to exert true power. “Failed oligarch” is giving her too much credit. She didn’t lose the game. She never had the makings of a player to begin with.

  18. >Rowling thought she could abuse her platform to influence the landscape of Scotland’s politics and failed.

    Probably cathartic to claim she’s failed, but it’s false. She has successfully used her platform and her money to influence Scottish politics.

  19. Regardless what you think about JKR , Sturgeon is very problematic, she’s abused her power big time and needs to get off her high horse

  20. After putting male rapists in female prison she deserves every hitpiece written about the wee krankie looking campervan loving eejit

  21. I think Sam (he/him) doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Sturgeon let Scotland down on so many fronts. JK Rowling is an exceptional writer (you’ve all read her books) and actually, a very clear minded sensible woman.

  22. I mean, I agree with much of this but how is Rowling an oligarch? There is a better term that’s needed there.

  23. If this is what failure looks like then what is success? I’m not saying I’m happy about Rowling’s influence but she undoubtedly has it. 

  24. I can’t stand JK, but this Sam, whoever he is, is just completely wrong. She has abused her platform to influence Scottish politics, but she has far from failed in what she’s wanted to achieve. The role she has played in the current successful drive to remove trans people’s rights is significant. So I’d say she has been very successful in shaping our political landscape around the single issue she’s had a laser guided focus on for the past few years now, to her desired outcome. Whatever your opinion on her, and her views, to call her a failure in terms of using her unlimited funds and influence to shape national policy on that issue is patently false.

  25. Ugh, she’s a real pain in the rectum. I’m sick of her shit.

  26. Don’t much care about her, or about this idiot also

  27. She’s addicted to praise. She’s just chasing a high at this stage, folks. If Terfs dropped their adoration for her tomorrow she’d pivot to some other cause with devoted followers within a week, probably religion.

  28. I don’t really care about the whole trans thing, but at this point, I think Rowling has such a fixation on sexual identity that I wouldn’t trust her near a child.

  29. Would destructions of Oligarchies be a net positive for all of society?

    I’d say so. All wealth accumulated from their  illicit and legal gains would thereby sent either to next of kin or to people of trust then those of Trust are legally bonded by either authority of their own to spread it out as they deem fit due to targets on their heads or to hold onto it like the predecessor.  

  30. The only thing I can tell you about Nicola Sturgeon is she’s a solicitor, and is very good at being one.

  31. Where are the JK birthers? That’s what I want to know. Show us that grumpy old wrinkly sorting hat between your legs to prove you have a right to talk on women’s issues, JK. Until she shows everyone her working vagina and her black moldy eggs she can shut her dementor’s trap.

  32. There are some people, Rowling among them, who will be very sorry that they’ve codified their bias when transmen start using women’s bathrooms, as required by law. I honestly don’t think she has given that scenario a moment’s thought.

    Also, how ’bout John Boyne aligning with Rowling? I don’t know what he expects to gain by sucking up to her.
