Rule: You must post before you leave.
This is giving JK way too much credit. She's always be a shit person, she just has the money and power to let it show. She literally wrote a book about people who are persecuted for things they cannot change about themselves, and then she turns around in the real world to be Voldemort! There's something very personal deep down in JK she hates about herself and is projecting it.
She unquestionably has some unaddressed, deep seated sexual or gender identity issues. She has said too many times she thinks she’d be trans if she were growing up today, uses a male pen name to write a book about a trans serial killer, can’t stop won’t stop TERFing even now that her lawyers are finally telling her she needs to shut up
Could be either
That would seriously explain so much.
... Would actually be a neat idea for a book/movie as well: Successful hack author gets driven mad by some mold to go down the alt-right pipeline after they've artistically peaked.
It's more a meme than truth. The "black mold" picture is of wallpaper and like much online gumshoeing it's sourced by people piling on an allegation without any bearing in fact.
JK Rowling's bigotry has nothing to do with her McMansion's state of repair. It's the standard English brain worms that every rich person in her social club develops.
I believe the headline but what an awful article. They just link to the post about the mold and do no research on what wallpaper it could be. These articles are turning into ChatGPT summaries of conversations on Twitter.
Some redditor said to find this video:
to see an expanded view:
where they believe they see a tree wallpaper.
So whatever broke JK was arguably not mold. Cold black heart…
It was like this before ChatGPT. I'm sure that ChatGPT makes it a lot easier, though.
Never even knew about the mold. Just thought the idea was funny. 😅
I mean, that article doesnt provide any proof that its wallpaper, and that would be some ugly-ass wallpaper if it is. Who would ever put that in a house? Also theres no discernable repeating pattern to it, though maybe we just cant see enough.
I mean, several books by Stephen King have actually been written by the mountains of coke and rivers of booze he did, as he has no memories of writing them.
We need to get rich people back to the good old days where they'd build parks and libraries or have pet artists they'd pay to run wild.
In other words, when they'd have a thin veneer of decency to try to rehabilitate their robber-baron image, after already having exploited the people under them for decades unchecked to get to that point? Those are what you're calling the "good old days?"
...okay, fair enough — sad to say, but that is marginally better than the status quo now!
But still, if we're setting goals I'd prefer they be about stopping the exploitation in the first place rather than trying to encourage self-serving philanthropy afterwards.
Tbf those rich people were simultaneously waging literal war (like with guns and everything) against their workers.
It's crazy that in 2024 she's on the side of and being defended by the same people who were calling her book series "witchcraft" and demanding it be banned from schools and stores.
You'd think somebody with that much money could afford a house built after the invention of central heating.
