This is what's really sad.
She's gone from poor, to rich, to the first author to become a billionaire. To giving away so much money she dropped off the billionaire list.
To saying shit things on social media then doubling down over and over and becoming a hateful person.
Even during the writing of the Harry Potter books you can see her ego grow, the influence of editors diminish, and the writing get worse.
At some point she closed down and stopped listening to other people. So what she thinks just gets amplified as it bounces around her mind as she agrees with herself.
Lots of people her ages probably had similar opinions. But what condemns her is the fossilisation of her opinions. As society changes and more of the reality of who the people she condemns comes to light. Her opinions fall further out of step with those who aren't fossilised in ignorance.
