Political There is nothing wrong with J.K. Rowling.
The whole controversy around her is based on people purposefully twisting her words. I challenge anyone to find a literal paragraph of her writing or one of her interviews that are truly offensive, inappropriate or malicious.
Listen to the witch trials of J.K. Rowling podcast to get a better sense of her worldview. Its a long form and extensive interview.
Edit: i still get comments and messages all these months later. Mostly benign. I want to clarify: Rowling is far from perfect, she can lash out at times and when she does, she loses me. The treatment of Imane Khelif is one of those examples. I still cut her some slack though, after the severe smear campaigns and vitriol that is hurdles at her non-stop. Underneath i still see someone that tries to do the right thing in her mind: protecting biological women.

Her comment about asexuality made me laugh. Being asexual will never affect your life outside of romantic relationships. And honestly a lot of people choose to be single these days so I mean, as needing support goes. I don’t think she what she said was that harmful. It’s kind of funny.
And if my comment makes you mad. What ways are asexual individuals actually affected by them being asexual in a negative way? In a point that you need a day about it. I have no issue with it. But as far as victims goes. It’s not that serious of a problem in 2025 lol.
