Sounds like Voldermor was inspired by her own persona
More the Dursleys IMO. She hates the people who don't conform to her view of normality.
Homophobic? I thought she was just anti-trans.
Either way, I'm very curious how the LGBT community views a wholly trans-phobic shit stain that simultaneously claims to support the gay community. I know just such a person and would like some insight from the community itself.
Homophobic? I thought she was just anti-trans.
Well she sure is not an ally, or even neutral.
In the HP fanfiction community many/most despise her.

Getting too much money reaaaaally fucks with your head. Becoming a billionaire should count as a brain injury.
Eh. It's more that you hear a lot about the nuts ones. Number 5 on the richest list is currently a guy named Bernard Arnault, who mostly French people know about, while the infamous Peter Thiel is at 129.
Same story here. Rowling may or may not have a full billion, but she's famous and good at getting rage views like this one.

I mean she has to be a troll at this point for attacking asexual people right? J.K. Trolling
Like, it's just people who don't like sex, I don't understand the hate? And I'm about as far from asexual as you can get.
She hates asexual people for the same reason she hates transgender people, they're not conforming to her view of normality.
There are a strange amount of people who seem to hate the idea of asexuality and this unfortunately includes people from all swaths of life like the LGBTQ+ community. I've seen too many gay people say hurtful, and frankly hypocritical, things along the lines of asexuality not existing and being more akin to a disease. It seems that while more people have become aware and accepting of homosexuality, they still don't understand asexuality and it scares them. Sad really. But luckily there are still lots of kind souls out there that will be accepting of anyone who's accepting in return. Maybe they can show everyone else the way...
Yeah, I've seen it from hypersexual people who seem to have unprocessed shame and need to believe their own behaviour is justified by being a universal human trait. The existence of asexuality threatens that.

The reason is simple: she's a bigot. She has been successful at pushing her transphobic agenda into UK law, and she will continue to move across the spectrum because hate only knows how to hate even when they succeed.
This is exactly the reason I'm shifting from just warning people that buying her shit is immoral so outright calling them bigots for supporting bigotry. If they don't want to be bigots they can stop giving her their goddamn money.

I'll steelman her POV because it seems people are (rightly) confused.
Asexuals are requesting a day of recognition for what she sees as a negative-identity. Keep in mind, conservatives are often meritocratic.
It's like if there were a day for "coffee refrainers", for everyone who doesn't like drinking coffee. I'm sure if someone dunked on that day and the coffee refrainers, it'd all be in good spirits.
But if someone dunked on asexuality, I'm sure it'd cause a lot of upset and defensive argument, which implies more "merit" to asexuality.
While progressives can go "who cares, just leave em be", conservatives see all "non-deserved" attention as an affront to meritocracy, that needs to be squashed.
This actually really helps me understand her perspective. I think she's wrong of course, and even harmful, but I appreciate the steelman.
Youβd think this dumb cunt could just fuck off and enjoy her fortune, but no
This is literally fun to these people. Foaming at the mouth gives them energy, it's all they can run on anymore. Vapid angst.
What the hell does the bottom post even mean? Is she saying she prefers segregated bathrooms? I knew she is a TERF but she's apparently also racist?
For a professional writer you'd think she would know that a quotation (even a fictional one) requires quotation marks around it to make it clear to the reader that it's not what you are saying but somebody else. Perhaps this makes more sense:
"Refusing to accept that people who don't like sex belong in the gay category is akin to wanting segregated bathrooms in the 1950s, John," as approximately a thousand gender activists will inform you once their hands stop literally shaking.
She's mocking the people who replied to her.
Wow she really isnβt very good.
How were we so starved for something that we latched onto her baloney?

Not to defend her, but she's saying that the ""woke"" crowd is saying what she's saying is as bigoted as segregated bathrooms. She's racist for entirely independent reasons
Irony is that the entire Harry Potter series is like discriminating against people for who they are is wrong.
To be fair, I'm pretty sure the slave race of house elves continue being slaves because "they love being slaves".

What a hateful idiot lol that's all I can say
I'm ace and JK can go fuck herself
Well youβre not going to do it, what choice does she have?
She wrote a whole series about how bigotry is bad but in retrospect, it feels like she didn't really understand why bigotry is bad. She just needed her children's books to have a moral message and she made a very surface level parallel to the holocaust. Then years later, she showed her ignorance about the holocaust by denying that transgender people were a target.
Her main protagonist is a rich jock who grows up to be a cop. What did you expect?

Did she get snubbed by someone who's ace or something? Asexuality is possibly the most inoffensive sexuality in existence.
Like, oh no.
They don't experience sexual attraction.
That means they're probably significantly less likely to objectify or assault you than someone who isn't ace. Isn't that a good thing for someone supposedly so concerned with being objectified and violated, Miss Rowling?
What a wildly brain-dead take from someone who loves claiming to be a feminist.
(Yes, I know she's not actually a feminist, but it's another piece of hypocrisy to throw on the pile)
lol says the person who hid behind initials because having her real name on cover would hurt her sales due to sexism.
Her? Appropriating a gender? Wow never ever /s
What a fraud
There are very few people that can turn my stomach up like this bitch.
Average JKR disaster of an opinion
what fucking gave her the right to weigh in
Her money and her blind fans who continue to enable her and ignore the fact that she is a horrible person.

She's pathetic.
Why doesnβt she write a book about whatever unimaginable horrific childhood trauma turned her into such a vile adult?
Nowhere does it say fucking anything about oppression in the picture that she's losing her shit about here. It's something that she could've literally just scrolled past and gone on with her day. I'm so fucking sick of these people.
Man, she sees a jpeg and her head explodes.
"fake oppression" as she does her best to oppress them
Bigot says bigot things
She's just a raging ball of hate.
