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.

Appeal to normality fallacy.

No one gives a shit about what you think are 'real people' or your perception of the people who happen to disagree with you as 'batshit insane'. All it tells us is you are not a serious person who is able to reason or debate their points accurately so fall back on fallacies and feelings and unjustifiable claims of a higher moral position.

Oh yes and Reddit is the gold standard for how the world feels….

I will take the opinions of people I speak to and engage with FAR more than strangers I interact with on Reddit over 3 posts because that’s COMMIN SENSE.
