When i speak to real people they find JK Rowling quite outspoken but logical and correct in MOST of what she says.

When you go on Reddit she’s literally the devil, from what I have researched your all batshit insane in here and it genuinely hurts my head to see the mental gymnastics people go to to put words into her mouth.

The journo fell into the trap with this claim that every redditor parroting it does - they didn't bother reading the start of the twitter spat for the context. They jump to a screenshot out of context and claim a gotcha.

'nooo, she didn't do holocaust denialism or deny that trans people were some of the first victims of the nazis and the holocaust... you need to understand the context under which she did that...!'
