They're upset we won't shut up and come along. They genuinely resent that people have a line, have found a limit to what they'll accept, because apparently they don't have that line, that limit of what's OK, and they resent people reminding them that they really should. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] ozymandias@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago I haven't ingested most of it, but before I knew what jkr was, I listened to some of it as a book on tape, and tried to watch the first movie... And it's fucking horrible. I really don't get why anyone over 12 enjoys it... Like, she can't even come up with good words. ... I could kinda understand enjoying an artist's work and separating the art from the artist, if they were just biggoted but kept it most in their private life, but she an extremely vocal, extremely active biggot... It's the only cause she seems to care about. Not worried about hunger or poverty, disease or war, she's happy to scrooge around with her billion dollars... But she's obsessed with hurting trans people. Watching her shit funds that. If it was a couple bad instances and she apologized for losing her temper, I wouldn't exactly forgive her, but I'd understand people watching her garbage. Artists tend to have emotional problems and do things that aren't really in their character... But this is deeply in her core. She has defined herself as a champion of biggotry for years. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ozymandias@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago (1 child) God damn I hate Harry Potter fans permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago yeah their detachment from reality is getting kinda wild permalink fedilink source parent
