Comment on Dolores Umbridge was a JK Rowling Self Insert all this time.

  Only other successful authors can criticise successful authors behaviour now? fuck that.

  The fact she wrote a masterpiece has no bearing on the fact she is a total bigot in social media.

    Yes, actually. Hiding in an online forum and spouting criticism is cheap and cowardly. Writing great books uder your own name takes talent, time, energy and courage.

    Checkmate, insect.

      Oh yes, of course. She can’t be a horrible transphobe! She wrote some books!

      if you look down on anonymous discussion, and see it as cheap and cowardly, what the fuck are you even doing here on lemmy in the first place?!

        I look down on anonymous criticism of great artists. I look down on membership in the oitrage mob. I look down on that damn mediocrity and pettiness.

        Perhaps you misread.

        Anonymous criticism is lhe least effort contribution to the conversation. Playing your part in the outrage mob takes the leat intelligence, the least inspiration. So when you do that, when you shout in chorus with the rest of the mob like that, you show yourself to be very very small. Like a crawling worm.

        And when you get out there and put the best youve got into a piece of art that blows the minds of an entire generation, you show yourself to be very very large. Like a soaring eagle.

        And for a worm to criticise an eagle is absurd.

  Maybe writing a masterpiece doesn’t excuse the harm one continues to perpetrate. Also my outrage is not secondhand. I am part of the community she has been campaigning against.
