I'm fine with this. J.K is a hateful cunt.

Im not sure. No objection to your JK thing, but you don't need to represent lgbt in everything. The books were written at a time where there wasn't a big movement and active representation, and there is nothing wrong with that.

I don't recall the fat shaming, but disagree with the bigotry and the racial stereotypes I see are "rich white man is a prick".
