>>141584698>I mean did rowling do anything to rile them up in particular during hogwartz legacy's buildup?Yes. Rowling made a habit for years on end of intentionally saying retarded shit on social media in order to get reactions out of people, first in regards to her books and then once that got stale she started mining from the burgeoning well of online outrage culture. Once she figured out how easy it was to make Twitter people mad by acting like a "TERF" she started playing into it incessantly and more or less found a way to insert some reference to it in every other offhand comment she made. The reason that the Pronoun Patrol was so upset when the Hogwarts game first dropped is because she had already been systematically needling them for months.
I do not really think that Rowling actually cares at all one way or the other about transgender issues or even feminism in general; she's just wants attention and people talking about her, which is precisely what she got through her many hours online spent shamelessly attention whoring. Ironically, even my describing her attention whoring behavior I am still playing into her hands and causing more people to think about her.
