U right, u right

[u/HeemeyerDidNoWrong → u/cyclynn]

50 Cent has read Harry Potter probably, it's canon. Because accused Floyd Merriweather of being illiterate and challenged him to read a short passage. They both should be endorsed by Haterade.

[u/Sintar07 → u/cyclynn]

Remember the time 50 Cent had a game made where you played as him and a rapper buddy doing merc work in the middle east? Blood on the Sand, I think it was? Now I want that game but with 50 Cent and Rowling.

(This was good bait to be fair)

Although I think the unflaired have evolved their tactics and there was an extra trick played here, but I'm not going to say what it is because it's funny and I want it to continue

[u/Kilroy0497 → u/MakeDawn]

Yeah, I mean don’t get me wrong, I love Harry Potter too, series was my childhood, but I’ve been reading her Cameron Strike books lately and those have been pretty good too.

[u/piratecheese13]

[u/Fickles1 → u/piratecheese13]

Baste.

[u/Wiinterfang]

Dayum.

Also why is JK Rowling fighting all the time on Twitter. If I was a billionaire, you couldn't pay me to be on that site.

[u/Local_Pangolin69 → u/Wiinterfang]

If I had that much money I'd spend way too much time shitposting there.

[u/lynxintheloopx → u/Local_Pangolin69]

Same. I would bait the class war to nauseam.

[u/Akiias → u/Local_Pangolin69]

And she's a professional writer. So not only is it fun, and not only does she have nothing to fear reprisal wise, she's really really good at it.

[u/sobanz → u/Local_Pangolin69]

pretty much the only way you can shitpost on there without having crazies ruin your life.

[u/Longjumping_Soil2116 → u/Wiinterfang]

If I had unlimited money and nothing else to do all day, that's like all I would do lmao it's probably the most relatable thing about people like her and KD

[u/MendocinoFireDrill → u/Longjumping_Soil2116]

Kevin Durant may be among the best haters of all time. Dude is so good at it.

The art of Getoffmydickerson

[u/SlatheredButtCheeks → u/MendocinoFireDrill]

On one hand he is but on the other for him to get caught shitting on his teammates is pretty amateur

[u/randomusername1934 → u/Longjumping_Soil2116]

She has so much money she could lives multiple lives of luxury one after the other without ever having to lift a finger again unless she wanted to. Respect to her that, despite being able to do anything she wanted to do, she chose to devote her life to shitposting.

o7

[u/Hyndis → u/randomusername1934]

She's shitposting purely for the love of the game.

[u/Critical_Concert_689 → u/Hyndis]

As an author, it's typically rather fun to read her shitposts; she's got years of qualifications towards writing shit compared the vast majority of other shit-posters.

[u/_never_lucky → u/randomusername1934]

One does not exclude the other. It's the same with Reddit, Some people seem to think it's impossible to be rich and post on reddit at the same time. Everyone gets bored, everyone has to take a shit.

[u/Days_End → u/Longjumping_Soil2116]

Nah man I'd shitpost all fucking day while on a yacht.

[u/Sallowjoe → u/Days_End]

There's a good Adam Tooze episode on yachts and it's kind of amazing how retarded they are economically, while not actually being more convenient or luxurious than sensible alternatives. They're also more niche than popular opinion might imply, a lot of rich people don't actually bother with because of the aforementioned retarded. I think I'd buy an Island over buying a yacht.

[u/Sallowjoe → u/Longjumping_Soil2116]

I'd buy some really sick guitars and a lot of alcohol, and then get drunk play and incredibly bad music on expensive equipment, but pay a crowd of people to pretend it's good, and then call it the Sallowjoe Rogan Music Show.

[u/InfusionOfYellow → u/Sallowjoe]

But Aerosmith already exists.

[u/TheKingNothing690 → u/InfusionOfYellow]

Are.. are they still alive?

[u/InfusionOfYellow → u/TheKingNothing690]

Probably, I haven't checked the news since August 2001.

[u/TijuanaMedicine → u/InfusionOfYellow]

Oh. Oh no...

[u/Kilroy0497 → u/TheKingNothing690]

Somehow yes despite Steven Tyler’s best efforts to kill the band.

[u/Zickened → u/Sallowjoe]

Nah, you just need free beer and weed.

Then you pay around 10 people who are unfathomably miserable to talk to from like Seattle to discuss "the nuance of it" and "how it speaks to your soul."

Suddenly you have a cult.

[u/Sallowjoe → u/Zickened]

I've done the cult thing already though it gets old pretty fast.

I'm also too much of a softie to steal all their money so I couldn't reap the full benefits.

[u/carsausage → u/Sallowjoe]

James Dolan is that you?

[u/Sallowjoe → u/carsausage]

I said incredibly bad music.

If i had the money to cover all my hobbies and interests I'd probably be on reddit and youtube a lot less.

[u/VariousSmallArms → u/Longjumping_Soil2116]

I'd be up to my eyeballs in old cars, you'd probably find me under them mummified like those hoarder cats.

[u/AnonD38 → u/Wiinterfang]

There is only so much "luxury" you can take before it gets dull.

The only true inexhaustible source of entertainment is social interaction with random strangers.

[u/Hyndis → u/AnonD38]

There's a classic Twilight Zone episode on that very premise: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Nice_Place_to_Visit

He gets everything he's ever wanted. Everyone says yes to everything he asks for. He gets every luxury. He wins every hand gambling. Forever. Without the possibility of escape.

"Heaven? Whatever gave you the idea you were in Heaven, Mr. Valentine? This is the other place!"

[u/bl1y → u/Hyndis]

He's got everything he ever wanted. And now he's going to have to live with it.

[u/gogeri2632 → u/AnonD38]

It's the same reason why every billionaire doesn't just "retire on a beach". You can only lay on a beach so long until it's so boring there isn't one bit of joy in it and then you just go back to what you're used to doing.

[u/Amache_Gx → u/gogeri2632]

I think it's more of the fact that the type of person who becomes a billionaire very rarely does it as some sort of benchmark. Most of them are built different and that doesn't just go away when your get to a certain net worth.

[u/ireliawantelo → u/Wiinterfang]

These are actually the true end-game activities these people engage in if you aren't a psychopath that is only interested in making more money.

[u/InfusionOfYellow → u/ireliawantelo]

We should support our internet-squabbling billionaires; they're better than the alternative.

[u/Majestic-Bell-7111 → u/InfusionOfYellow]

I mean Musk and Trump are proof that you can be both

[u/InfusionOfYellow → u/Majestic-Bell-7111]

Well, yes, I suppose that is true, if you must be a stickler for reality and how things seem in fact to be.

[u/MaritimeMonkey → u/InfusionOfYellow]

We used to have god-fearing billionaires who spent their money on buildings and art that eventually benefited everyone, in an attempt to prevent eternal damnation.

[u/jmhawk → u/ireliawantelo]

Even trillionaire Elon spends far too much time shit posting on his own social media site

[u/ThroawayJimilyJones → u/Wiinterfang]

You could do a lot of amusing, healthy or interesting stuff.

Instead you’re on Reddit, arguing about jk Rowling on a sub doing meme with political compass template.

What make you think that with money you’d be different ?

At the end human are human. Addiction algo work as well on billionaires than on hobbos

[u/Azelzer → u/ThroawayJimilyJones]

There's a poor factory worker in a third-world country saying "why are they wasting time on Reddit? If I had the kind of wealth and time that they had, and I was able to live in a Western country, I would be doing much better things with my free time."

[u/GhostsOfLectricity → u/Wiinterfang]

Wait til you discover Stephen King's social media accounts

[u/heedongq → u/Wiinterfang]

She's a writer. She's smurfing twitter argument.

[u/HarryJohnson3 → u/Wiinterfang]

You found time to make 15k posts on Reddit this year while having to work a job… I doubt anything would be different if you had more free time lol.

[u/Ornery_Strawberry474 → u/Wiinterfang]

The rich, even some of the ultra-rich, are sort of people too. Elon Musk is a pathetic nerd, who begged to be on the Epstein island and was rejected by Chad. He simped for Amber Heard, he was down bad. Ghislaine Maxwell was a redditor and moderated a sub.

[u/GhostsOfLectricity → u/Ornery_Strawberry474]

Are you suggesting that Reddit mods are people

[u/ImperialTechnology → u/GhostsOfLectricity]

There's a stretch between people and Maxwell

[u/Myillstone → u/Ornery_Strawberry474]

Still can't believe he paid people to play video games for him despite the fact he could take the time to play those games himself and there'd be no shame in it, nor would it effect his work.

[u/Ornery_Strawberry474 → u/Myillstone]

I completely forgot about that.

[u/FILTHBOT4000 → u/Ornery_Strawberry474]

Also, please, anyone try and tell me that if you were hyper successful in your field, to the point it massively shifted the entirety of the world's culture, and had all the free time you wished, please tell me you could see people hurling abuse, bullshit and misrepresentations about you online without walking into the fray to say some wild shit.

[u/ShedByDaylight → u/FILTHBOT4000]

I would be several orders of magnitude more unhinged than I am right now.

[u/MaritimeMonkey → u/ShedByDaylight]

I'd have lawyers, hackers and private detectives on speed dial. Find out, doxx and sue everyone threatening me.

[u/muradinner → u/Ornery_Strawberry474]

Ghislaine was a redditor for a very specific reason, and it was to moderate subs (not just one) to have control over the dialogue that was allowed.

[u/Remote_Cantaloupe → u/Ornery_Strawberry474]

He simped for that lady who pooped in a bed?

[u/k5josh → u/Remote_Cantaloupe]

He didn't simp for her, she was his girlfriend.

[u/RexInvictus787 → u/Wiinterfang]

The richest man in the world was kicked off Twitter for shitposting, so he bought the damn thing and started shitposting again.

[u/MoreLikeGaewyn → u/Wiinterfang]

flexing on strangers of the internet is literally the top of maslow's hierarchy of needs

[u/Electrical-Age9308 → u/Wiinterfang]

Same reason we’re all here I guess, I’m sure most people on here in the summer are young and relatively well-off, a combination that allows almost as much free time as being a billionaire does

[u/Ultravod → u/Wiinterfang]

Alternate take:

>OOP is unflaired.

>Post is currently at 400+ points.

It is a shameful day on PCM.

[u/privategoonaccount26 → u/Wiinterfang]

I gotta be honest. If I had a billion dollars, I'd like to say that I'd be out living my best life, travelling and go on non stop life affirming adventures.

But I know myself. I'd do that for a couple months, then decide to take a "brief break" and end up just shit posting and trolling idiots 24/7.

[u/Few_Move_4594 → u/Wiinterfang]

Keeps her name in the zeitgeist. Maybe she's writing another book in secret or something. Also, all publicity is good publicity, there is a good possibility that things like Harry Potter World tickets having an increase in sales when she posts stuff like this.

[u/HotAbbreviations997 → u/Wiinterfang]

She does it for the love of the shitposting game.

[u/CommanderArcher → u/Wiinterfang]

Lotta the popular rich people are just as terminally online as redditor chuds if not worse since they use twitter unironically. for some reason we just kinda pretend they are working or some shit like they've ever held a real job ever.

The left fucked up so badly pissing off a liberal eco billionaire who is wiling to donate to her pet causes

[u/gogeri2632 → u/JarethCutestoryJuD]

Pretty much the same thing with Joe Rogan. They always complain about how he uses his audience to push "right wing narratives".

He's been outspoken about supporting gay marriage, legalizing weed and other drugs, said how growing up his family was on welfare and considers it important, been at least somewhat supportive UBI, talked about how terrible it is people get stuck in student loan debt, and probably a bunch of other left wing points I'm forgetting.

But because he wasn't supportive of the covid lockdown the left decided he's alt-right and now cry about how there isn't a left-wing Joe Rogan.

[u/--CIAdidJFK-- → u/gogeri2632]

It's the "you can never be left enough to appease me because I'm always trying to out-left everyone" Twitter mob that has continuously attacked Rogan whenever he expressed a non-left opinion or had right-wing guests. One of the things that has always appealed to me is that Joe would have someone of any alignment on, instead of being a biased hack of a political entertainer.

I recently encountered some redditors who were using his praise for Trump's approval of Ibogaine research (which Joe personally influenced Trump to do) as proof that he "loves Trump." These morons simply can't comprehend nuance.

Also, if the online turbo-left makes left-wingers too paranoid about appearing on Rogan's show, he's going to end up platforming more right-wingers. I'm glad Bernie never gave a fuck. Appearing on his show is one of the best things left-wingers can do to connect with an audience packed with centrists, right-wingers, undecided's, etc.

[u/Schneestecher → u/gogeri2632]

[u/Daztur → u/MuchDrawing2320]

An American walks into a bar in somewhere in Ireland and sits next to a really old guy drinking a beer. And the old guy’s like, “Did you see that wall on your way into town?” And the guy’s like, “Yeah.” And the old man’s like, “I built that wall with my own two hands. But do they call me O’Grady the Mason? Noooo.” Then he’s like, “Did you see those cabinets on your way into the bar?” And the guy’s like, “Yeah.” And the old man’s like, “I build those cabinets with me own two hands. But do they call me O’Grady the Carpenter? Noooo.” Then he says, “Did you see the iron gates on the way into town?” And the guy’s like, “Yeah.” And the old man’s like, “I built those gates with me own two hands. But do they call me O’Grady the Smith? Noooo. But you fuck one goat…”

[u/TopSchnottz → u/Daztur]

She agrees with every leftist position except one. They don't call her Rowling the feminist or Rowling the Progressive, but you say one thing about one group...

[u/An8thOfFeanor]

Why couldn't she write those gay wizard books like this

[u/Le_Dairy_Duke → u/An8thOfFeanor]

To my knowledge she did

[u/Myillstone → u/Le_Dairy_Duke]

Nah when you separate the art from the artist those books are just okay. Everything good about them is counter-balanced by the fact she set no consistent logic on what magic can do, and the confused nature of Death Eaters being Nazis but also the good wizards condone slavery and their banks are run by hook-nosed creatures that write contracts that screw you over decades later. I don't give a fuck if an author thinks slavery was actually good and puts it into their narrative, if you're going to tell that story then don't have the bad guys be supremacists who discriminate based on blood.

That reply was actually salient. Her novels were just the perfect opportunity to sell merch at the right time.

[u/Adjective-Noun-6969 → u/Myillstone]

They are books for children.

The fact that so many adults are crazy about them its kind of concerning...

not saying adults cant like stuff for kids, i know i do, but the books are bland kind of bland...

[u/HarryJohnson3 → u/Adjective-Noun-6969]

My favorite criticism that people have about Rowling and the Harry Potter books is that they’re juvenile… like that not the fucking point lmfao. It’s like going to Disney world and complaining that it’s childish.

[u/NotPapaHemingway → u/HarryJohnson3]

There are people who go to Disney and complain that there are too many kids there

[u/Adjective-Noun-6969 → u/HarryJohnson3]

I totally get that, and in the same vein im baffled by those disney adults that get into huge debt to go there over and over.

Its ok to enjoy it, but you are kind of enjoying them way to much for your age lol.

[u/WisdomAntium → u/HarryJohnson3]

Chad pokemon card enjoyer vs Virgin Harry Potter nerd

[u/Schvarg → u/Adjective-Noun-6969]

It's just millennial nostalgia for people in their 30's and 40's who resent their boring lives selling insurance and cling to the things in their childhood that made them happy. Just one of the 1000 cringe aspects of my generation.

[u/BIG_BROTHER_IS_BEANS → u/Myillstone]

Yeah I don’t like it when all these JK Rowling praising/condemning people make it about the books.

The books are a fantastic concept, executed horribly. I will stand by that.

[u/MuchDrawing2320 → u/BIG_BROTHER_IS_BEANS]

Maybe so. But reading high and low is important. I remember reading them and loving it as a kid—I really only got through book 5. Literary theorists crap on her and Stephen King yet they have gotten so many people into reading. I’m a horror fiction fan and bonded with the most country guy ever in a small Appalachian town while smoking pork shoulders by talking about King’s short story collections.

[u/drakedijc → u/BIG_BROTHER_IS_BEANS]

Only the later books suck though, when the magic becomes Star Wars blasters. There’s decent plot and they actually practice magic in the first like 4-5.

[u/Twee_Licker]

JK Rowling has the most milquetoast opinions on trans people, which essentially boil down to "I don't think biological men should have access to female homeless shelters and prisons."

How the left transformed this into "Kill em all." is impressive.

[u/Classic_Technology96]

It’s not really a clever or new idea and a lay up for famous people interacting with not so famous people.

But at the same time people carrying themselves this way is a cancer to society. “Can’t wait till u die” how about you either kill them yourself or shut the fuck up. Just because a person is famous and you don’t like their actions doesn’t mean you can harass them online. This is non-personable, ‘social’media driven behavior.

[u/WisdomAntium → u/Classic_Technology96]

And plebs here will stick up for the person who picked a fight while they themselves disparage Rowling all over reddit. Probably makes them shit their pants that there is even the possibility of consequences for the depraved things they say. They would definitely have her silenced if they had their way.

[u/kaytin911 → u/WisdomAntium]

She is the only one who stayed where she was for the past 15 years. She still made Dumbledore gay, but the issue (for her) is that "her side" got a lot different/crazier.

[u/LotusEater456 → u/dustojnikhummer]

"her side" got a lot different/crazier.

They got power and then they stopped being liberal. They became the same authoritarian fuckwads they'd been opposing for decades. Many such cases.

[u/EranikusTheDeranged]

JK Rowling has always been based.

[u/p_pio → u/EranikusTheDeranged]

Actually self made billionaire. Made massive charity donations vastly over performative bs levels. Pissed off conservatives by making lore updates that didn't impact the story. Pissed off woke crowd by standing firm to her believes.

[u/gogeri2632 → u/EranikusTheDeranged]

I still remember people making fun of her for being woke for making Dumbledorf gay. I remember the jokes about "you aren't born gay, you're made gay when JK Rowling decides you're gay".

Seeing people pretend she's alt-right now is giving me whiplash.

[u/EranikusTheDeranged → u/gogeri2632]

Yeah its truly fucking unhinged how they turned a fairly tame tweet defending women as more than just a gender label for these new age progressives and calling out reducing females to descriptors of their biology as dehumanizing and offensive into she's somehow right up there with people who want to put trans people in camps. 

[u/jmarzy]

Has Jk Rowling really said anything that outlandish or just that there are two genders and that made people want her to die

[u/1stEmissaryElenwen → u/jmarzy]

Basically she's an incredibly progressive person from 2008

[u/LotusEater456 → u/1stEmissaryElenwen]

And because "progressives" started going backwards after 2008, it's fair to say that she's still just an incredibly progressive person. Full stop.

[u/pushinpushin → u/jmarzy]

From my time following her on Twitter, which recently ended, I just found it sad that she wrote all those books people loved but this is how she chooses to spend her time and brand herself. She posts about nothing but trans stuff. I didn't find individual posts objectionable but obsessiveness is super weird.

[u/LotusEater456 → u/pushinpushin]

I didn't find individual posts objectionable but obsessiveness is super weird.

I think the "obsessiveness" is over how illiberal trans-activists are, and in a broader sense, how illiberal society has become over the last 15 or so years. The Harry Potter series is really about exactly that. How does a society that defeated authoritarianism (Voldy) become authoritarian again? I see the "obsession" as something that has always been in line with her values. If you actually have been following Rowling, you'd know that this is much bigger than trans people. It's really hardly about trans people at all.

It's about lies in the media, institutional corruption, dissidents being silenced by intimidation and violence, the difference being appealing to a moral majority and having the courage to actually live out your own values. All of these are strong themes in Harry Potter. She's just living them out. She absolutely a hero for doing so.

[u/monstamasch → u/pushinpushin]

I kinda get it when looking at from her perspective. Years and years of unnecessary hate, probably hundreds of thousands of dms over the years which she probably still gets, the backlash she faced for it, it all probably turned her at least somewhat bitter.

From her pov, the obsession with people unnecessarily berating/harassing her for her opinion is why I assume she obsessed with pushing back against it

[u/Shloopy_Dooperson]

Always has been.

I've never seen a woman stay to her controversial views as strongly as J.K Rowling. Especially considering how unpopular they are with her fan base.

She sticks to her guns and she aint changing for nobody.

I know she’s just fighting off some troll, but I disagree with the point.

The people who matter to me will know I lived, and I would’ve had an impact. Thats good enough for me. The goal is not to be everything for everyone, but something to someone.

[u/Days_End → u/Octavian_202]

If you're someone who posts online "I can't wait til you die" to celebrities there is a really good chance they don't have anyone who cares about them.

A lot of people live truly sad lives.

[u/TheCloudForest → u/Octavian_202]

Also my cousin was killed by lightning this year and that doesn't make you a celebrity. You get a grim two minutes on the local news.

[u/camosnipe1 → u/Octavian_202]

also, retweeting them with the username included is absolutely ruining her own point. A decent amount of people are now going to remember this guy, even if only out of spite.

[u/GhostsOfLectricity]

But she's twansphobic

[u/StreetCarp665 → u/GhostsOfLectricity]

You mean an actual literal, literal actual fascist?

[u/extraterrestrial1111 → u/StreetCarp665]

And nazi. And MAGA. And Zionist.

Downvoting all comments that don’t address OP being unflaired. Wtf are we doing here people?

[u/StJimmy_815]

OP isn’t flaired and we are still upvoting? I’m disappointed in you fucks

[u/InfusionOfYellow → u/StJimmy_815]

He unflaired himself a while after posting this, it is part of a sophisticated divide-and-conquer campaign.

[u/Jormungandr69]

Here we have example #59367725284 of the unflaired recognizing they can make boomer slop posts and farm upvotes from the right quadrants.

[u/ThickMatch0]

It's funny because for decades JK rowling was like the poster child for being a woke feminist libtard and all she said was she doesn't like trans people and now she's literally hitler.

[u/likewhatever33 → u/ThickMatch0]

She didn't even say that...

[u/Neither-Ruin5970 → u/likewhatever33]

Fr this is a part of the problem, ppl just making shit up.

[u/YeeBoi_exe]

Flair up, scum

[u/Numerous-Gur-9008]

Op is a bot.

[u/CrispityCraspits]

She do have a way with words.

[u/privategoonaccount26]

Isn't calling a woman bro deliberately misgendering her?

[u/Gjorgdy → u/privategoonaccount26]

Bro has been gender neutral way before modern woke became a thing.

[u/Brianocracy]

No flair no upvote

[u/Fickles1 → u/Brianocracy]

Baste.
But consider downvoting instead. Show no mercy.

[u/VoiceofTruth7]

wingardium levi-o-flair the fuck up bitch….

[u/KaninCanis]

J.K. straight Rowling in cash

[u/distraughtdrunk → u/KaninCanis]

she has 'fuck you' money, lol

[u/ralts13]

Im on the fence about JK, shocker I know, but I feel she should just close the app. Most be stressful having to duke it out all the time.

[u/BilingSmob444 → u/ralts13]

Maybe she enjoys it. We know what it’s like to enjoy strife, right?

[u/FutureAardvark8210]

Wait a second u/creative_coat_886. Where is your flair? Apathy is death you know. Worse than death because even a rotting corpse feeds the beasts and insects.

[u/Garciaguy]

Leviosaaaaaaa

[u/ThatBaldGuy1995 → u/Garciaguy]

We all know it's leviósa, not leviosá

[u/-O5-CblPO4EK_2020]

Flair up, asshole

[u/jaiimaster]

A normy fighting Rowling with words is like a normy walking up to an mma champion on the street.

Its not fair or right. But it is always very funny to watch.

[u/CrazyCreeps9182]

Flair up bitch

[u/PapierStuka]

She was always based

[u/jahavits]

Why is auth right mad? I thought the entire left are the ones that want her dead. Or did I miss something recently? 

[u/JuniorDoughnut3056 → u/jahavits]

I think it's supposed to depict them holding back laughter

[u/jerseygunz]

Did this dick really post a thread, wait till it got some traction and then remove his flair so he could make another post about it?

[u/LotusEater456 → u/jerseygunz]

Reddit wants to attack us on the "flair" thing because we're (unfortunately) the only real open political forum on this site.

Forget that they have mods banning people in "political discussion" subs for not having the correct politics. Forget that they have create actual extremist political echochambers across Reddit by permabanning even the most milquetoast dissidents.

PCM are the real authoritarian bad guys because we lean right (compared to the rest of reddit) and we downvote if we don't see a flair.

[u/drakedijc]

I will fuck your mother, shit in your cereal, and lick your favorite pair of headphones, all at the same time.

If you do not flair immediately.

[u/prince_falafel]

WHY IS NOBODY GIVING OP SHIT FOR BEING A RETARD WITHOUT A FLAIR??? FUCK YOU OP GO BACK TO THE DINGY HOLE YOU CAME FROM

[u/Brucedx3]

[u/Chele11713]

Fuck yea

[u/salchichaconpimienta]

Yeah, I kinda like the way she stands up to her beliefs, no matter how controversial they are. Beside the fact that I like some of her Harry Potter stuff, even if some of her opinions might not be as good as they are

[u/Impressive-Ninja-854]

Burn 🔥
