I liked her stuff when I was a kid, but haven’t cared to read any of it again recently. Never read her pseudonymous work either.

She should just shut up.

Harry Potter is an amazing series of books. Leftists who shit on it have no taste

Potter is a pretty good series for teens. Top tier for the vibes of the 90s and early 00s.

Harry Potter is honorary /lit/core

Started reading HP after seeing twitter seethe about it. Its actually a solid series and I wish I read it earlier. Its up there with Dune, Lord of the Rings, Blood Meridian

>voldemort was an allegory for liberals
kek, finally realizing this makes the books all that much better.

>>23226066
I hate how nowadays webcomics are mainly used as a tool for political debates, reaction images to post to "own" your political "enemies". Not so long ago people made webcomics about stuff they liked or stuff they've always wanted to write about. Internet poisoned people's minds

>>23226034
Too far right for the left, too far left for the right. Made all the wrong decisions to get shat on by everybody. That being said, her views on feminism are pretty based, and like her or not she did change the world for the better

Should be obligatory reading in schools. We need more people like Joanne

/lit/core. enough said

>>23226087
friendly reminder that all of leftism is just one giant shit test, and holding a legitimate opinion on anything means you'll eventually fail it

Harry Potter is a solid book series. Probably the last great book ever written

>>23226087
What are her views on feminism?

>>23226084
wowiee woe is you

I like that she filters libs. Harry Potter predicted a lot of events of current society

>>23226034
I barely read anything up until I went to college. Harry Potter books were really the only books I've read the moment they got published. I would usually read them in like 2 days. Which was an amazing feat for someone who didn't really read books. Other than the occasional Cather In the Rye or something similar.

Its a great children's book that really lets you get lost in its world and completely forget about the outside world for a couple of hours or days. Or at least that's how I felt reading the books as a kid in the late 90'/early 00'. By the time the last parts got out I was older, the magic has disappeared and reading them felt almost like a chore. But even then, I thought they were still entertaining.

Just my 2 cents.

Harry Potter should unironically be mandatory reading if you want to post on this board. The amount of cultural relevance it has even today is insane. Those books basically raised me

Always has been /lit/core. Dont listen to seething leftists who disagree

Great series by a great author, nuff said

Fuck TERFs

If you haven't read HP you shouldn't be posting on a literature forum.

A woman who will not attain the proper respect until after she dies. She inspired and encouraged countless children to read a book about an ethno-state that could be destroyed by the inclusion or outsiders.

She will be remembered as a nationalist and beacon of truth that withered a storm of hate that will only be properly contextualizes by a future Far-Right/Normal society.

Glad to see /lit/ isn't so tight assed about Harry Potter anymore. I hated pseuds who would post that Harold Bloom shit. In reality its a great series that a lot of us were raised on

Mediocre kids' writer. Only hates trannies because she hated men in the first place. Advocates leftist politics while living in a gated mansion. First degree hag.

>>23226150
When was this? Ive been here since 2016 (longer than most people here) and have always seen people praise her

Whatever year /lit/ was created until the mass turnover began after gg. Hardcore litfags who were older than that audience thought it was (rightfully) lame and over-hyped. But there are a lot of potterfags on the internet and this place had a massive Tumblr migration some years back. Watching the reaction come around was interesting, to say the least.

Thank you for making me feel old. I've lurked 4chan since 2004, when /lit/ didn't even exist. The only place where you could try to start a discussion about Harry Potter was /b/ in those days.

You could troll /v/ with it because of the games. It was more obvious then that anyone born before 1987 didn't give a fuck about it and even the late millennials had a mixed reaction. I was in high school by the time it wrapped up and while there were hangers-on who were immature, most only read it out of habit and had moved on.

>I was in high school by the time it wrapped up
I was in like 5th grade when the first couple HP movies came out, some kids got into both books and movies around that time, other kids felt like it was meant for kids a little younger than we were. In middle school, boys that were into HP in elementary had grown out of it and the actual fans were mostly girls, by high school girls too had move on from HP and even amongst geeky people liking HP in High School was consider kind of cringy, the only two guys that I remember were still into HP were plebbitor types, people that I'm assuming lost their shit over JK being a TERF.

She has George Lucas syndrome in which she struck lighting with a mega franchise and never recovered. Fantastic Beasts/Cursed Child/poop remover blog post are on par with the Star Wars prequels.
>>23226059
Rowling only started the anti-trans stuff practically a decade after the finished deathly hallows
I'm a leftist and I think it's silly to judge Harry Potter based on actions by the author 10+ years after the books were written. For that matter, I think it's silly to judge Ender's Game for the writer's views when they don't impact the story in any significant way.
>>23226066
I believe shit like this hinders the movement to protect trans rights at the policy level. MLK Jr. succeeded because he was focused on discrimination in businesses, schools, housing, etc., not whether or not it's okay to like Gone with the Wind (although he probably wasn't a fan lol).

>>23226527
Who is contrapoints

>>23228001
I think when a certain group enshrines itself into a policy level tolerance turns to resentment.

She got lucky once and is living off the past, she is like al bundy being super confident because he scored a touch down in high school and won the big game once.

Talk shit about stephen king, but king was able to break out of his horror cage and write shit like the green mile and shawshank redemption and stand by me.

No one has read her post potter stuff, i think thats why she went nutso about the trannies.

If i were her i would write another fantasy novel series, but more adult and in the vein of game of thrones

I like to think of Gryffindor as regular trad culture and slytherin as toxic twitter leftism. Makes the books more enjoyable to read

She admitted to having no inner voice

Definitely had some good ideas, and a genuine retelling of the hero's journey can never be truly bad. But she's massively overrated, and the writing is not deep like the diehard fanbase loves to pretend.
Probably the most skillful thing she did was really capture Harry's development as an adolescent boy growing through his school years. Most writers will fuck it up and write a child character almost identical to their adult self, aside from more knowledge of the world.

>>23226034

A hero.

>>23226034
I liked her before all the trans stuff, and I like her after

>>23228045
Slytherin would have won 7 house cups in a row if not for HOWEVER

>>23226034
She made some great children's books that are written with charming prose. IRL bit of a libshit, advocated/donated for a bunch of immigration programs into the UK which frankly does more damage than any amount of anti-trans stuff she posts on Twitter could make up for

Wokeists are so petty and jealous of genius. It's insane observing it from the outside. They believe themselves to be some sort of master of the universe whereas everyone with an IQ above 80 recognizes their subterfuge for what it is. I would create this kind of thread if I wanted to help conservatives win even more votes.

>>23229533
Rowling is literally just last season's woke. I don't know who you think you're sticking up for.
She's not exactly Robert E Howard, is she?

Political activism is ugly.

>>23226075
8/10 bait

>>23226034
Books are fine, nothing really great, but that's okay. I just wish the ones who obsess over Harry Potter understand that it's written for children, and then later became a Young Adult series. It's okay to like it, but just don't make it your whole personality, yeah?

When it comes to politics, I find it really funny. She's still a leftist through and through, and only because of her trans views has she become a pariah in leftist circles. This also lead to a lot of right-wing people calling her based, but she disagrees with pretty much everything they believe in.

She's the perfect embodiment of the left eating their own, as well as the idea that the enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend.

>>23226146
6 was the best, anon. 5 was the worst. Her writing struggled hard, she harped on umbridge for far too long, and repeated the same dream sequence a dozen times

>>23230971
this, its hilarious seeing her destroying her own legacy. the more she talks the more people will hate her

>>23228016
nta but expanding on this, the reason the civil rights movement worked (mostly) and didnt turn to resentment (for the most part) is because, as that leftshitter said, it was focused on the technicalities of driscrimination and not with the moral outrage. the morality was the foundation, not the purpose.

>>23230976
The only thing she ever did wrong was write a series that attracted so many mentally ill people.

>>23228045
slytherin was the old money randian house. Gryffindor was the hooligan house.
Trad house was unironically hufflepuff.

>>23231026
Hufflepuff is always stereotyped as the gay beta loser house for some reason. Can someone who read the books tell me if that's true or not?

>>23230985
She's a misandrist and transphobe. That doesn't sit well with western society

>>23231169
shes not a misandrist, and theres no such thing as transphobe

>>23231136
No, it was just the least archetyped house. So it included anyone from weirdos to people who ought to have been in a different house.

i miss when the most obnoxious thing about Harry Potter was how many overgrown babies wouldn't shut the fuck up about it. they're half-decent books for ten-year-olds. i read them growing up, i really liked them at the time, and then i moved on. there's better fantasy (Tolkien), better "contemporary"/"urban" fantasy (Gaiman and Pratchett), better high-concept kids' books (Animorphs), and better YA (Hunger Games); all Harry Potter has going for it is nostalgia.

I'm going to piss off a lot of incel 4channers, but Rowling is a great writer of Children's literature (not adult lit, Casual Vacancy sucked).

I'm not putting her above Le Guin or Jones, but she is in the conversation. I actually think Harry Potter has better characterization, more of a heart, and a better sense of humor than the Howl and Earthsea books. I think her creativity also excels.

>>23232093
Rowling is considered an incel icon now.
Get on with the times and by that I mesn Xitter demagogy.

>>23232093
While Earthsea is great, I don't think highly of it and the first book reads like mythology. The Howl comparison is apt, but Jones has protagonists with personalities that Harry lacked. The kids act like kids and the adults act like assholes. I do think Rowling had a stronger, more coherent vision for the world and supporting characters, although she couldn't commit to the magic in a sensible way, which detracted as it was so intrinsic to the story.

Her real strength came from allowing the story to mature and be written in a slightly higher register than most children's books, which I find to be the weakest point of children's literature. Jones, in spite of Howl being one of the few books that adults can read without it feeling 'off', is more on the level of a graded reader, while HP had more room to touch on things that children's literature doesn't have room or the ability to. HP had a lot of interiority.

>>23226034
She says the truth about them and twitter trannies can't do shit about it. You love to see it.

>>23231169
How is she a misandrist when the MC of her latest book series is a capable, competent, likeable, ex-military man?

Red pill me on her pseudonyms. Is it like how Dr Seuss used to write softcore porn that was illustrated in the same Grinch/Cat in the Hat style he's known for?

It's literally a blog post, and there's no set-up/payoff. You can re-arrange the panels in any order you like, and nothing would change. You could shift the talk balloons to point to either character and nothing would change. The fourth panel has the word "And" in it, so that sort of forces it not to be the first panel, but still.

Redpill me on Gone with the Wind. I've never read it, but I heard its about a woman who cucks her boyfriend, but then goes back to her boyfriend at the end, so I'm probably never going to read it.
Was it considered racist or antisemitic?

>>23233146
>Is there greater context to these "chairs" in the conversation?
yes. people have tried to use the argument that words are hard to define to prove that trans women are women and "chair" is one word that is used it that. it's kind of a "is a hotdog a sandwich" thing.

>>23231394

I just wanted to chime in that I remember reading all 3 books, and by the time you reach the third book, there's lazy shit, that I want to call "post-facto exposition" for lack of a better term.
I read the book about a decade ago, so the point isn't as salient as it would be if I were willing to download the book and read the whole thing before my work shift in two hours, but what I mean is for example on page 150, through the book, the character will do something with an item that it's explained she got in the much earlier chapters despite zero mention of it in those earlier chapters. Like bitch, edit your earlier chapters. If it was a case of retconning events in earlier books, that would atleast be understandable.

Also, I vaguely remember the first book alludes to hidden history of a dystopian footage that sort of mysteriously hides something that begs deeper investigation and neither of the sequel books dig into it. Maybe the prequels that these new movies are based off of explore it. I don't give a fuck any more, but I remember that.

>>23233010
>No.
There is a difference between outright hatred and thinking something is unnatural, if you think ordinary people think a man wearing women's clothes and demanding to be called a woman isn't weird, then you are living in a complete fairy-tale, most working class people don't hold university liberal beliefs, even economically left wing ones. You have a right to wear women's clothes and believe whatever you want, but don't expect other people to understand you and have the totalitarian view that they have to accept you or else, like a small child would do. You are an eccentric outlier and that is completely fine.

You are completely within your rights to believe whatever you want to be, but other people don't have to.

>>23226034
harry potter is the only book i ever enjoyed

>>23226034
I really enjoyed her harry potter series as a child and it helped me get into reading, they are rather boring to reread now though.


Couldn't care less about her personal views.

I'd prefer a timeline where instead of literature she gets into a Xev Bellringer kind of content.

>>23233010
I have been a eccentric autist all my life, i long ago realised that if you are different then people are going to be less friendly towards you and think you are strange, that is just how it is, human beings are a pack animal. I also placed more value in what i think of myself instead of what others think of me which has no bearing on my own happiness and is of no importance.

I don't see myself as a victim, and i don't blame other people or society, there is no strength in doing so, have you ever thought people dislike transgender people because of the constant self victimhood and blaming others instead of looking at their own flaws? i don't even hate them, i don't even think about them, but i can understand why people find them annoying, who wouldn't find such people annoying?.

>>23233229
I would love it if she did mature milf porn.

>>23233617
is the mainstream opinion that Harry Potter sucks? Outside of Hogwarts Legacy, I do feel like people have kind of left HP behind, and in the case of HL I think the shitstorm in the internet is what actually drove the sales of that game, because months prior to the game the third Fantastic Beasts movie came out and it flopped in the box office, and they canceled other HP related proyects in WB. I don't really see people using HP as a good example of a fantasy series, like in youtube channels about writing for fantasy and sci-fi, or sometimes in fandoms and stuff I've seen people using HP almost like an insult like "oh the world building in this series is awful, it's almost as bad as Harry Potter" and similar.

>>23233007

-We want to walk down the street on our way to work and school without inappropriate comments, stares and general transphobia.

-We need to have the same right to visit the grocery store, bank, restaurants and other business without experiences discrimination.

-We want to be accepted for the rental agreement, job opportunity, team position and not be denied solely because we are Trans.

-We are people too! People just trying to go about our day

You went to the grocery store and were discriminated against because you were cis? I kinda doubt that. But yes everyone deserves basic human rights

First of all, its already illegal to discriminate based on identity. There is no second of all. You already have the rights you want.

>>23234326
>Staring and inappropriate comments
Normal people have no laws to protect them from this

>Visiting businesses
There are zero laws preventing trans people from buying food and opening bank accounts. If normal people show up to the store in fetish gear, they too will be denied service

>Renting and jobs
There are no laws preventing you from getting a rental or a job. Normal people get passed up on these for looking the wrong way or having the wrong name all the time. You aren't special

>>23234336
no tranny has ever been discriminated in public for being trans. you get discriminated against for being ugly, or as you call (cope) it "not passing"

Transphobia is a mental illness, therefore you are the one who is mentally ill. No first world country considers being trans a mental illness. Move to Saudi Arabia or something, you would fit in better

>>23234396

>y-you are the one making things up, not the minority of angry incels on 4chan!

>>23234439
please learn to read

>>23234410
I should clarify, I don't think highly of it on the whole because the later books are increasingly stupid, and the first book is written in the tone and register of myth, or as you say, a saga. Wizard is the only one I'd compare to Rowling, and it's nothing like HP because of that massive tonal difference. I actually think the first two books are excellent and symbolically rich like few other books are, but that also makes it far removed from how HP is.

I'd also read better fantasy by the time I got around to it and it didn't have the kind of impact it would have.

>>23234443
People get surgery for a lot of things, would you consider people getting your appendix out as someone who is mentally ill? You transphobes have like 80 IQ between all of you guys

Nah we wate you.

I think the horcrux is a very interesting idea that is original as far as I know. Very cool.

As for the bigger question, the male-led household was the product of an artificial scarcity of men created by war... A near equal population distribution means female control of cultural norms through collective bargaining in sexual preferences, and those men who "drop out," by becoming trannies, gays, incels, or asexual monks are doing their part to restore order in an adverse situation. People should be allowed access to hormones as soon as they are 18 & legally old enough to be independent of their parents, and since trannyism is not a mental illness but rather a psychological reconfiguration to a harsher sexual-ecological environment than they were prepared for, men should also allowed unrestricted access to steroids, and those who burn out their reproductive capacities in this way will have incurred no loss by the same logic in which trannies remove themselves from the species-being

>>23234468

>People don't remove healthy body parts unless they are mentally ill

Oh, you mean like people who are born with six toes or fingers called Polydactyly who get them surgically removed? Those people are mentally ill? LOL.

>I went to the Yale bookstore and bought and read a copy of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.” I suffered a great deal in the process. The writing was dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character “stretched his legs.” I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling’s mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing.

>But when I wrote that in a newspaper, I was denounced. I was told that children would now only read J.K. Rowling, and I was asked whether that wasn’t, after all, better than reading nothing at all? If Rowling was what it took to make them pick up a book, wasn’t that a good thing?

>It is not. “Harry Potter” will not lead our children on to Kipling’s “Just So Stories” or his “Jungle Book.” It will not lead them to Thurber’s “Thirteen Clocks” or Kenneth Grahame’s “Wind in the Willows” or Lewis Carroll’s “Alice.”

>Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, “If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King.” And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read “Harry Potter” you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

Tranny-ism is founded on mental attributes. Your physical state doesn't matter. Also people with the polydactyl deformity do it to be healthier and normal, trannies do it for the opposite result and still wind up mentally weaker.

The ultra politically correct types what transgender people usually are hate this because it shatters their whole worldview, spend any amount of time in a British pub with older working class people who have left wing sympathies and you will realize many of them have social views what would not be seen as acceptable by the middle class left today, even if they have left wing economic views such as Trade unionism, nationalisation/public ownership, public healthcare etc.

I don't know where this idea came from that you cannot be economically left wing and socially conservative, this was pretty much the norm until well into the 1990's, pretty much every single eastern blok state and leftist political party was socially conservative, if they started ranting about trans and gay rights they would've alienated the population, much like they're doing now honestly, new labour for example is alienating working class voters.

No, the context is that a trannie had a meltdown at some protest in the UK, yanked a chair out from under a very elderly woman and threw it (the clip went viral and was featured on news broadcasts). The trannie is sarcastically pretending trannies were protesting chairs (as in: yeah, we were there just to throw chairs and not because we're being le oppressed).

>>23236533
why are trannies like this?

>>23233018
No, every single Western Conservative, Tory, Republican, Classical Liberal, whatever vague definition of slightly Center-Right you have, it is all the same. They have failed and have done for the last one hundred years.

You can cling to your dead values of free speech, tolerance, equality before the law, freedom of religion and all that shitwash and ignore that all it has accomplished is to welcome the outsider in to your home, to shit on your heritage and replace you demographically. Or you wake up and embrace some form of Quasi-Fascistic authoritarianism or we die. It is not a hard choice.

Why did he feel the need to make this up? Were there not enough bad things in the book for his essay so he had to invent them?

>>23234982
>The decision to give the National Book Foundation’s annual award for “distinguished contribution” to Stephen King is extraordinary, another low in the shocking process of dumbing down our cultural life. I’ve described King in the past as a writer of penny dreadfuls, but perhaps even that is too kind. He shares nothing with Edgar Allan Poe. What he is is an immensely inadequate writer, on a sentence-by-sentence, paragraph-by-paragraph, book-by-book basis.

>The publishing industry has stooped terribly low to bestow on King a lifetime award that has previously gone to the novelists Saul Bellow and Philip Roth and to playwright Arthur Miller. By awarding it to King, they recognize nothing but the commercial value of his books, which sell in the millions but do little more for humanity than keep the publishing world afloat. If this is going to be the criterion in the future, then perhaps next year the committee should give its award for distinguished contribution to Danielle Steel, and surely the Nobel Prize for literature should go to J.K. Rowling.

The context of his criticism of Rowling there is kind of important.

Transgenderism is a biopunk hellscape. I doubt you would ever find acceptance in not even 5, 10 or so years if you continue. In most cases people do hate this sort of mkultra brainwashing, and if you really cared about stuff you say you should've really followed the footsteps of MLK's ways. He knew that true activism and pushing for equality and acceptance lies within tolerance of the normie. "I have a dream" is literally about tolerance and basic human values. You would think that the sitouts and bus rides and black panthers made the country more tolerant to negroes. No. Its the opposite. You push for action and you get a reaction. Americans rioted and were forced by government at a gunpoint to socialize with negroes. And so, if you really want acceptance and not a horrid existence for the sake of constant validation, I would approach this as would most black activists and scholars. Get rid of your special month, we are all people and we are not special. Integrate and promote socially acceptable values and programs. Find companionship.
It just seems to me that you folx always do the opposite for attention and media coverage with child grooming and rape allegations.

If you look at things in a dichotomy of power, transgender people are incredibly powerful compared to for example white working class people, they can cancel people, influence the media, have multi billion dollar corporations on their side, the average working class person doesn't have this.

It's an illusion that they created that they have no power whatsoever, and are perpetual victims. It comes from a constant psychological need for approval and totalitarian control, by constantly trying to get others to focus on their needs they are also diverting attention away from issues which may be affecting ordinary people, like the epidemic of drug addiction, crime, poverty etc, things what are of actual importance in making sure a nation is worth living in, not things such as a persons physical features or how they dress and perceived by others which is of literal no importance.

If you keep neglecting a majority of the population in favour of a insignificant minority, it will eventually get ugly.

incredibly disingenuous post. even if surgical interventions are postponed until 18, you know very well that the indoctrination that makes you think you need them is targeted at children. trannyism cannot exist as a mass movement without exploiting minors because the basic mechanisms of recruitment rely on hijacking the confusion and alienation that come with puberty.

>>23238732
Even if surgical intervention doesn't occur for minors you're still irreversibly ruining their puberty and development via hormones. And these freaks expect to be treated kindly while considering it a public right to poison children like that.

Happy trans day of visibility friends. Hate will never win

Rowling is creative but she's a terrible writer. Unironically her best work has been on Twitter. Her actual prose in Harry Potter is garbage and full of rookie mistakes, the kind of thing you'd expect from a new writer but not someone who'd had years of international success as the series went on. I feel like it got worse over time rather than better. Always assumed that was due to a combination of less criticism from editors after be became super successful, and the characters and readers outgrowing her writing ability. Like if you're writing for 10-year-olds you can put some really retarded stuff down on paper and it works. Not when you're dealing with 18yos. But a lot of it was just writing fuckups. My mother was an editor, and I kept thinking "if mom read this to me as a kid she'd stop and explain why this is wrong every couple chapters."

Now, I'm not hating on HP in general. It's fun and if I was more into rolling with the wizards and shit I'd still like it despite the furry-fanfic-skill-tier writing. What really concerns me are people in their 30s who say they're the best books they've ever read. I read it for the first time as an adult and I came away thinking it was pretty meh.

People are going to say whatever they think anon if they feel something is wrong whether you like it or not, other peoples opinions are not something within your power, the only thing in your power is whether you let it disturb you or not, i suggest you grow a thicker skin.

It's peculiar that older transsexuals generally don't seem to try and force their views on others, and are mature enough to know that their lifestyle choice isn't the norm, i think this all comes down to immaturity.

Your willingness to immediately resort to insults also shows the maturity level you are currently occupying(it's not high) not everybody who disagrees with you is a ''incel'' whatever the hell that means anyway. I technically have a woman but I am at the age where i'm not that bothered anymore, not everybody who disagrees with you is a ''fascist'' or ''right wing'' either, I am neither of those things.

What's your high score?

She spent a good chunk of her day seething about a bunch of stuff and I did a bit of shitposting myself.
3 bottles of rosé deep she opens up the folder where she has saved a bunch of photos of trans people along with articles about them and she posts like 11 or 12 consecutive back to back seetheposts because a law came into force and she's concerned about her rights as a woman.

I'm sitting down here posting 2000 char posts on 4chan all morning about shit nobody in the streets of Edinburgh gives a fuck about and so was she.
She's a rich LARPer who pretends to have been working class and she can afford those 3 bottles of rosé but I'm disabled and after reading the hate crime & public order acta bit ago and again just last week, it's pretty good stuff and a step forward. It would have been used against my junkie neighbour before he offed himself on cheap street diazepam and fent.
She's fucking around in her giant garden with her dog and I was fucking around in my giant garden with my dog.
She's abusing substances and aging like milk caring about her identity a bit (typed bitch here by accident) much, getting her rocks off posting on twitter in a frenzy and I'm taking 46 degree 2 hour baths reading shitty Japanese novels blasting the FF V soundtrack on repeat because I'm not inputting attacks fast enough due to my brain melting and when I finally ascend from my hot throne I'm trying to not pass out due to the triple threat combo of POTS, near heatstroke and low blood pressure from trying to cook myself alive.
I felt mega relaxed apart from the brief FF V sesh but my smart watch used to monitor my blood pressure thinks I'm the most stressed I've been this week

Jo will be a few more bottles deep and she might go for a nap, wake up in the late evening and go back to posting or maybe she'll commit a hate crime accidentally.
I'm much the same but without the alcohol; because MUP & austerity has priced it out of my range. I might finally get to sleep and I might just wake up at 9pm or I may soldier on and accidentally also commit a hate crime by accident.

It's moments like these that it all comes into focus, that we're not so different after all.
I mean we have different political opinions, she hates her neighbours and abandons her hedge and I quite like a bit of gardening and also hate my neighbours but in the granular moments, in the most obtuse sense we are kindred spirits and the only difference is that we have different obsessions.
I spent the morning thinking about villainy and the philosophical concepts attached to it and if a crime can be committed if no one is left to witness it and she spent the morning doing the same in the same city at the same time.
Funny how the world works. In a different life I'd be the billionaire class traitor arsing around the other end of town and she'd be the NEET mentally unfit loser. Well she's close on the others.

At this point, I wouldn't be surpised if /lit/ simped for a YA slop author like Sarah J Maas if she said something against trannies and started liking her books despite being a blight on literature.

You constantly spam the same allegation that Rowling "hates men" as if this will change anyone's disgust at trannies. You are an abomination, normal men and women aren't. This is why your samefag argument that she hates trannies because she really hates men falls on deaf ears. Cope, seethe and dial8, m8.

We're saying that because Rowling isn't on your side. She doesn't care about you or your ideology. Yes trannies are disgusting. So are feminists, which is what Rowling is.
>you are an abomination
Biological man (male) btw.

>Claim that men pretending to be women aren't actually women which is factually true
>People turn hostile and indulge into name-calling
Speaking of hate, huh?
Trannies have no ground to stand on, never had.

What was even the point of making this in comic style? Literally nothing visual happens and you can't even tell what the hell the characters are supposed to look like because they are just mask faces.
