I also wish ill to JK Rowling.

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

I just did so on Bluesky. With a "may she rot in hell" cherry on top.

They can suspend me forever for all I care.

[-] Reality_Suit@lemmy.world 57 points 1 year ago

I hope JK Rowling gets everything she deserves out of life. I hope life treats her as she does others. I wish upon her the consequences of her actions and words.

lol. She’s rich and safe. Stop stressing yourself out about every little thing and go firebomb an health insurance office in her name.

[-] Nadru@lemmy.world 47 points 1 year ago

We told them not to use Bluesky and what will eventually happen but they didn't want to listen

[-] khaleer@sopuli.xyz 22 points 1 year ago

They literally made tons of account on mastodon just to ignore them for this fucking bootleg of it, called bsky

[-] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

I have a bluesky account on an alternate server, so they can't ban me for wishing ill on JK Rowling, even if they wanted to.

This is why decentralisation is important. I assume the poster has no way to change Bluesky sites?

Like this is why they should join a Fediverse instance. Like blahaj.zone will probably suit them

[-] RecursiveParadox@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago

Um what? The hate for JKR is quite active on bsky. OP smoking crack; we hate that bitch.

[-] ComradeRachel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 1 year ago

Jessie gender got their account suspended because they said they wish ill to JKR. Was like the most polite insults you could say lol

[-] RecursiveParadox@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The mods walked that back right away.

[-] v01dworks@piefed.social 16 points 1 year ago

Yeah I’ve never seen anyone on Bsky say anything remotely positive about her

Or even neutral lol

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 18 points 1 year ago

I hope she gets Parkinson's and cant write anymore.

[-] OhShitSon@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 year ago

Have you read Harry Potter? It's not like she can write as It is.

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I have read the entire Harry Potter series (before she outed herself as being scum). And calling her writing bad is disingenuous. She isn't a bad writer, or more accurately she wasn't. (It's notable that her writing started to degrade very sharply not long after she outed herself as a TERF).

She is a fucking horrid human being as are Orson Scott Card and Scott Adams along with a few others who's true colors shined through due to the pervasive nature of social media. But to blandly call their works "shitty" just as a lazy dig at them degrades you, not them. It makes your opinion worthless.

J.K. Rowling is an absolute dipshit asswipe who should be tarred, feathered, and run out on a rail anywhere she goes. And more people should say so as loudly as possible. But the Harry Potter books were beloved by millions for a reason. If only she had gone blind, deaf, and dumb after she finished writing them. 😒

[-] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

Eh, her works may not be so poorly written as to be shitty, but they're just a pretty average story with a good editor. Her action scenes were average, tension building slightly above, and her characters were below. I'm sure if you went through the books with a fine tooth comb you could find a witty sentence or interesting paragraph, but nothing that would really stand out.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

I too am roundly disappointed at the prose of that children's series largely appealing to children and not adults who haven't moved on after thirty years

[-] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 year ago

As you should be. Kids books should be just as good as adult books. Maybe not for the adults, but for the kids reading them.

Having lower standards just because 'it's for kids,' is ridiculous.

It's not like disney or dreamworks to half ass their kid oriented movies. They're often masterpieces in their own right. There's good reason that the lion king, the land before time, the road to el dorado, etc., are all viewed fondly even today. Hell, take it out of animation, even. Secondhand lions, wizard of oz, charlie and the chocolate factory... great stuff.

Writing for kids can be just as complicated and well done in characters, setting, and 'elements' of a story like tension. Compare the hobbit to harry potter. The words tolkien chose may have been simple, in comparison to his the lord of the rings novels, but everything else was pretty damn good.

I thought the books were aggressively mediocre YA trash from the start.

The bird site was broken before the psycho took over. Just brought the same shit to the new site.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 13 points 1 year ago

JK can Rot in Piss for all I care.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

I wish JK Rowling's brain turns into a mush

Oh wait that already happens

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 7 points 1 year ago

Hilarious considering one of their flagship features is community tags for content moderation. You'd think the TERF enablers would suggest tagging it as "non-TERF" or whatever. But no. Fuck em. Bluesky sucks anyways. They have comically short DM lengths and don't allow images.

[-] korthrun@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago

Bsky, mastodon, whatever. Microblogging is a trash format that we should move on from.

I actively wish JK harm.
