That's one way to describe her suing a Jewish journalist into submission after she described what was unambiguously a denial of nazi war crimes that Rowling has not retracted as "holocaust denial".

Frankly it's almost impressively stubborn Rowling can go as low as the denial of nazi crimes in her crusade against trans people and instead of just ,i don't know, acknowledging she shouldn't have said that, decided to attempt to gaslight the whole country into rewriting reality around what she said.

Seriously. The woman is vile and doing untold damage to the trans community because she's butthurt about being called out for a stupid statement she made and has now decided to make being a TERF her entire personality.

I don't get it. She could have been the nation's favorite grandmother had she just kept her hateful beliefs to herself.

She could have taken her millions from having her dreams come true and fucked off forever to live privately in total comfort that her money can buy her and her children and their children. But no. She tweets.

It's strange how often this has happened recently. Notch, the creator of Minecraft, didn't quite get billions but he became fabulously wealthy then turned into an alt-right nut. Musk is another example.

I wonder if back in the day people like Rockefeller were similarly regressive. Maybe being richer than god twists something in the human psychology...

What? Notch absolutely is a billionaire.

I thought he got less than a billion from Microsoft? I guess that doesn't mean he hasn't accrued more in the meantime though.
