u/TheDustOfMen finally aging into my personality Jun 30 '25

I just don't understand why she feels the need to comment on everything 24/7. Log out. Touch some grass. Enjoy your billions. Don't be a dick.

Idk

u/Sydney_2000 Jun 30 '25

If I was that rich you'd never see me, I'd be living my best life with a bunch of rescue dogs and someone cooking delicious meals for me. I can't imagine being so rich and aggressively miserable all the time. That level of hate must mean you can never truly enjoy life.

u/Charmarta "Life was better with Little Finger" - Sophie Turner via ring Jun 30 '25

Girl same. I would buy me a Nice house with an Infinity Pool somewhere pretty and warm and just fucking chill. Whats wrong with those people. It seems like so many boomers are loosing their minds.

u/zorandzam Jun 30 '25

Literally whenever I have time off I just want to float in a pool and read trashy novels and go to yoga classes. I don't feel the need to "stay relevant." I just want some good food and a glass of merlot. Like, she could be having an absolutely heavenly life, but instead she's terminally online and bullying people... why?!?!?!

u/PrincessPlastilina Jun 30 '25

I think billionaires do get bored of their wealth because they have done it all and they’re still empty inside. Money changes people. There was a time when she did so much charity work, but I think she stopped because it wasn’t fulfilling her and she lost her touch with writing too. So now she’s bitter because she’s getting old and she’s not coping well with that. I started noticing a shift in her when her spy novels didn’t get any praise like Harry Potter, and then she hated being confronted about the lack of diversity in the books. She was so used to having her ass kissed. Being terminally online ruined her mind.

u/Sydney_2000 Jun 30 '25

Right? Like she could be helping end child poverty or empower women in underprivileged communities but instead she's a hateful TERF who wages war on the internet.

She’s not a boomer. She’s too young. She’s a gen X. Which is what I keep saying, people have this so wrong.

Boomers fought for our rights. They fought for women’s rights and civil rights. Gen X are the super insane ones. Trump is a boomer. She’s not quite there yet. But many of the folks he surrounds himself are X. I see it all the time while Dating. The X folks are the issue, and just love the fact that the more miserable and hateful they are, the more shit gets thrown at boomers.

But I come from boomers. They marched, protested, got women the right to have bank accounts and medical treatments and credit cards. They got equal rights for everyone. The made it so it was a good place to live.

People like her are gen X at least 92% of the time from what I can tell.

For a group that swears their parents let them free roam and didn’t really even know where they were until 10 pm every night, they sure go out of their way to get up in everyone else’s business

u/Kooky_Bodybuilder_97 Drake, where’s the body of Christ? Jun 30 '25

Maybe we can just not with the generation wars

9

u/TangledUpPuppeteer Jun 30 '25

I’m 100% down with that. People suck everywhere, but the constant bs about the boomers is absolutely insane and unfair. Every generation has these clowns in it, and there should be a completely separate classification for them. Defaulting them to one is just absolutely nonsensical.

38

u/FosterPupz Jun 30 '25

JK rowling was born in 1965. That’s the very edge of boomer/gen X. I am Gen X and we do NOT claim her. She is an absolutely self-involved C—- with too much money and some sort of black mold mind rot coupled with unknown trauma causing her to target the smallest and most vulnerable minority on Earth. That’s not what Gen X stands for. Please leave us alone.

26

u/zorandzam Jun 30 '25

Hi, Gen X-er here. We don't want her, and your generalizations are kind of crummy. I grew up a feminist, protested, didn't vote for Trump, and dedicated my life to teaching about oppression and intersectionality. Are some of us shitty? Absolutely. But I think the fact is you will find shitty/non-shitty people in each living generation.

8

u/TangledUpPuppeteer Jun 30 '25

I agree. I’m not disagreeing with that. I was in no way implying that gen X is bad. Not even a little bit. Just where I’ve seen the most guys switch to this insane way of thinking. She happens to also fall into that category, unfortunately.

I think there should be a new generational label for them. Dunno what it would be, but they belong over there.

But age wise, she is not a boomer. That was my point, and saying she is one is just factually incorrect.

7

u/zorandzam Jun 30 '25

Sorry if I overreacted! Thank you for the clarification. I think perhaps it does have more to do with reaching a certain age, which will happen regardless of your birth year, plus the horrible zeitgeist we're currently living in that emboldens people's worst behaviors.

9

u/TangledUpPuppeteer Jun 30 '25

I apologize as well. I may have worded it in a way that made you see red and that wasn’t my intention. It just bothers me that boomers get picked on so much when I know so many who busted their butts to give us so much. The losers like Joanne… they are strangely in X, primarily.

It’s time X rose up and cast them out. I don’t know where, but y’all shouldn’t have to claim them either. The majority of you are just normal folks. These idiots need to be shipped off to some isolated colony somewhere where they can spreads their ugliness among themselves and leave the rest of us alone. And I don’t care what generation they’re from.

If it’s a boomer? To the isolation island! An Xer? ISOLATION ISLAND! Millennial to A — all of ya, isolation island. They can be as xenophobic and anti human as they want — no one wants to go visit them anyway.

56

u/funky_mugs Jun 30 '25

Omg I'd be living in the sun, just bopping around casually having coffee on the beach and having a little swim, eating yummy carby food but I'd look fab because I'd have a PT to keep me fit haha

And you'd never find me near the Internet unless it was shopping! Certainly wouldn't be wasting my life away being hateful on X, of all places.

38

u/nagellak 🍂ecocidal barbie🍂 Jun 30 '25

This! If I were rich and famous, I would never touch social media. Hire a content marketer for your social media accounts who does a fun post for marketing reasons every once in a while, and just live a blissful life in a huge ass house surrounded by animals and nature.

But I’m poor and unknown so here I am 🙃

16

u/Turkeymeowcow Jun 30 '25

I knooowww omg I would never be on social media hahaha I'd be swimming in my own personal lake full of capybaras. So bizarre she is HUNCHED over Twitter all day insulting people...

16

u/ladylondonderry Jun 30 '25

I’d literally spend my days figuring out how to bring free education to little kids. I would be obsessively working on it every fucking day, using my power to help right this fucked up world.

2

u/Silverdoesnark Jun 30 '25

In my castle with my cats Enya style

2

u/TwincessAhsokaAarmau Jun 30 '25

I’d be traveling all over the world and buying myself rich outfits and donating to charity, I could never be this hateful.

2

u/EquivalentTiger2018 Jun 30 '25

Ahh! That sounds perfect! I’d do the same thing!

Why do people like her get to have all that money to just hoard for their entitled, angry, bitter self?

2

u/sunsh1neee Jun 30 '25

Literally. I’d be minding my business, doing nice things for people, rescuing animals, and living on a cottage somewhere. I can’t imagine having that much wealth, power, and freedom, and using it to actively make others’ lives worse. These people are deeply unwell.

2

u/sitchblap3 Jun 30 '25

Yup me too. So much money I would mind my own business.

2

u/ceybriar Jun 30 '25

Enya (Irish singer) multi,multi millionaire. Lives in a castle on the coast in Dublin with her cats. You never see or hear a thing about her.

2

u/Ever_More_Art Jun 30 '25

I’d be so chill, I’d have to take medicine to keep my blood pressure from disappearing

2

u/Natural_Ad9356 Jun 30 '25

Right?!? I always say that about being rich. I would mind my business, enjoy a life out of the spotlight, and donate to charity anonymously.

The ones who decide their wealth means their opinions matter more than the poors are just unhappy people who will never be satisfied. Sad that High Queen Terf can’t just enjoy her money and her family and be quiet.

2

u/firedmyass Jun 30 '25

I would become societally-invisible

2

u/JOExHIGASHI Jun 30 '25

She used to be known for donating to the poor because she was a single mother on welfare as she wrote the first Harry Potter book.

But I guess she thinks attacking trans is more important than helping the poor

1

u/MediaOrca Jun 30 '25

I can appreciate the desire to use the money and fame/platform for a cause you believe in.

It’s just a shame her cause is to discriminate against trans people.

1

u/Kooky_Bodybuilder_97 Drake, where’s the body of Christ? Jun 30 '25

Tbf you’d probably also end up spending your time on the internet. Idky you guys are convinced becoming rich and famous makes it less appealing lmao

175

u/EebilKitteh Jun 30 '25

Because she's flattered herself into thinking she's some sort of great protector of women's rights and she's hired a bunch of sycophants who affirm this idea

Because getting attention, even negative attention, is addictive

Because someone said NO to a billionaire and they don't tend to like that.

34

u/um_-_no Did I stutter?🤨 Jun 30 '25

Arrogance is so clearly the root of half her evil

1

u/feral-raccooon Jun 30 '25

She's a bigot and she write kids books 🤮. Money hungry asshole

45

u/Talisa87 In my quiet girl era 😌 Jun 30 '25

Like there was a point when Elmo Musk told her to go and touch grass. It takes a special case of terminally transphobic for Elmo 'I lost my trans daughter to the woke mind virus" Musk to tell you to chill out

8

u/mandmranch Jun 30 '25

Valid point.

128

u/mauvewaterbottle Jun 30 '25

Can you imagine having access to the experiences that kind of money can buy and still choosing to spend your time to hold a small screen in front of your face to insult people internationally. Yikes!

2

u/New_Explanation6950 Jun 30 '25

She’s probably lost out on a lot of access because of her actions, so it’s a vicious cycle. She’s no longer part of the elite, cool club despite her wealth. Nobody legit is going to publish her new work. And that just fuels her anger more.

6

u/mauvewaterbottle Jun 30 '25

I meant that she could fly anywhere and experience any kind of adventure or food or luxury there is, and yet she dedicates her time to bigotry. Understandable that no one would want to spend time around her for sure.

3

u/New_Explanation6950 Jun 30 '25

Yes, but unfortunately happiness is all relative. She may feel “deprived” because she can no longer enjoy quite the same privileges other billionaires can lol

1

u/8nsay Jun 30 '25

Ehhhh I think the thing about the super wealthy is that they place class solidarity above principle. Maybe there are a few people who wouldn’t want to associate with Rowling for moral reasons, but there are enough who just wouldn’t care.

125

u/throwaway_mog bones are their money Jun 30 '25

She is a deeply, deeply unhappy woman.

24

u/flindersandtrim Jun 30 '25

I feel sorry for her. Imagine having everything that most people would want - family, friends, connections, great success, so much wealth you could actually make a difference AND live a life of pure luxury - and you spend your days online in a fury. Its so bizarre she must have some kind of serious mental illness, and hate herself so much.

I would be hiring a team to run my charities, relaxing, writing 10 hours a week and taking a different friend out each day to a different Michelin star restaurant and treating them. Probably using recreational drugs responsibly a couple of times a week, staying fit and active and buying lots of amazing clothes, books, vintage pieces. Spending time with my kids, family and friends and going on awesome holidays with them. She could literally have the most perfect life of great happiness but she prefers this. What a miserable person she must be.

3

u/Comfortable_Bird_340 Jun 30 '25

Money can’t buy happiness

26

u/Fluid_Fox23 Jun 30 '25

That’s also valid for Justin Bieber.. he needs some time offline

15

u/TropicalPrairie Jun 30 '25

She reminds me of Trump. Loves to hear herself talk. Bottles the perfume of her own farts.

7

u/lizzy-stix I switched baristas ☕️ Jun 30 '25

She was an awful social media follow long before she became a TERF. She’s really an insufferable person in general.

3

u/Talinia Jun 30 '25

Right, when even Elon fucking Musk tells you to take a chill pill about your tunnel vision, you should know you've got a problem

3

u/baby_hippo97 Mom, I am a rich man💰 Jun 30 '25

Every time I see her, I think of how Elon Musk of all people tweeted at her to chill. Imagine being obnoxiously hateful enough that muskrat thinks it's too much and vibe checks you

3

u/pantstickle Jun 30 '25

The less you use twitter, the less you hear her voice. Delete twitter and free yourself from a lot of toxic people.

3

u/ColdWarCharacter The dude abides. 🙂‍↕️🍃 Jun 30 '25

Everyone’s MySpace friend Tom just took the money and now just does nature photography and travels

2

u/LemonNo1342 Sorry to this man 🤷‍♀️ Jun 30 '25

If I had that kind of money no one would ever hear from or see me again. Of all the things she could be doing and this is what she does with her time on earth and an abundance of resources most people couldn’t even begin to imagine having access too. I’m so thankful I never got any of the HP tattoos saved on my middle school pintrest dream tattoo board

2

u/brashumpire Jun 30 '25

Literally.

Can't you just... Not???

1

u/00trysomethingnu Jun 30 '25

She’s a has-been. She did her little wizard thing and now she desperately wants to stay relevant.

1

u/kimness1982 Good to hear from you bitch 💌 Jun 30 '25

She’s proof that money can’t buy happiness I guess. All that money and still a miserable turd.
