Wonder how much of this is also revenge motivated.

What a spiteful cunt

You'd think being a billionaire would be enough for her to let it go. You'd think it would one of those "it turned out for the better" situations.

But the level of spite and grudge she can hold... Dang.

Surprisingly, money only fixes material problems. If you don't spend your new extra time fixing emotional problems they only fester. And now that youre surrounded by money-grubbing yes-thems they actually get a lot worse!

victorz@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 49d

Bet. When you let hate run your life, money won't fix your shit. Very true.

Your explanation is spot on! I didnt think about her like that.

Blibly@lemmy.world · 94 pts · 49d (5 replies)

She's not an activist she's just a hate filled shit-for-brains loser. Her hatred doesn't stop at trans people btw. Transphobes are never just transphobes.

She's acephobic af too

Blibly@lemmy.world · 26 pts · 49d

She hates everyone different than her and anyone who tries to change anything, ever. That's why the hero of her children's book becomes a fucking COP.

I still prefer this label over the other commonly used one.

I can’t remember anything cause I’m a goldfish with legs, but yeah she’s a right shitty person.

She's no activist. She's a bigot and a billionaire astroturfer. Like a trans-obsessed version of the Koch Brothers or Peter Thiel.

Also, her books don't hold up when you pay enough attention to notice the racist, antisemitic, anti-irish, pro-slavery, and pro-authoritarianism dog whistles and bullhorns.

dont forget the misogyny.

im convinced shes the trans version of the gay homophobe trope. she herself is trans masculine but has internalized her transphobia so she hates herself too much to ever admit that and transition. instead she feels the need to stop other trans people who she sees as a reflection of a part of herself she hates and sees as wrong. i dont think this makes her any more sympathetic, just more of a tragic piece of shit.

Why are all the billionaires such whiny fucking losers? You can do literally anything you want, and you choose to spend your time doing this?

Pathetic.

samus12345@sh.itjust.works · 24 pts · 49d

Once you unlock life's cheat codes and win capitalism, you get bored and have to turn to extreme pettiness to feel anything. And pedophilia, apparently.

When you decide to attack amnesty international, don't you start to think you might be the baddie?

Can this trash just die already? C’mon black mold go faster

Sigh, you don't have to be a terrible person just because you get rich....

mushroommunk@lemmy.today · 21 pts · 49d (1 reply)

You do however have to be a terrible person to get that rich

WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 49d

Or just be married to one. Mackenzie Scott (Jeff Bezos ex) seems a pretty decent person for a billionaire

iamthetot@piefed.ca · 11 pts · 49d (2 replies)

You have it backwards. You don't become that rich without being a terrible person.

pivot_root@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 49d (1 reply)

There's no way.

What about Elon Mus— never mind.
Steve Jobs? Notorious asshole, shit.
Walt Dis—no. Antisemite, fuck.
Thomas Eddison? His patent sweatshop begs to differ.
Bill Ga— wait, no. He was in the files.
SBF? Fuck.

Ummm uhhh...

iamthetot@piefed.ca · 7 pts · 49d

Bill Ga— wait, no. He was in the files.

I mean even before we knew that, he participated in tons of anti-competitive behaviour to solidify his richness.

The very act of having as much wealth as these people have is, in my opinion, an immoral act in the world we live in.

Amnesty International has done more for women than this bigot ever has or will.

inari@piefed.zip · 19 pts · 49d

What a weird hill she decided to die on

WesternInfidels@feddit.online · 16 pts · 49d

Isn't she free to be a transphobe in the privacy of her own home? Why does she have to make her trasphobeness her whole personality? Why does she have to shove her transphobeness down my throat, huh? Why does her transphobeness gotta be my problem?

halloejsovs@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 49d (1 reply)

You can not like/understand/tolerate trans people and keep to yourself, stupid twat..... You don't have to be right, when you're clearly not.

WesternInfidels@feddit.online · 6 pts · 49d

This always gets me. There are lifestyles, traditions, choices and practices that I disapprove of, or that I'm pretty sure will turn out poorly. But I generally don't tell people living that way that I disapprove, or that I think they're doomed. Why would I do that?

I believe in freedom. What does Rowling believe in?

voidsignal@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 49d

can we stop talking about this bitch and her stupid school but for magicians stupid story? thank you.

brucethemoose@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 49d

Its crazy. A planet-sized mass of LGBT fic from the Harry Potter fandom, and founder ended up being... this.

This seems incredibly personal for this bitch at this point.

ech@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 49d

From what I can tell, it is. From suffering sexual assault when she was younger, to some snippets I've seen attributed to her that come off as gender questioning (to my eye, at least), she's clearly developed a twisted view of gender and gender roles that paints every trans woman as a physical and ideological threat. Mix in years of the typical toxic discourse found online that only promotes doubling down, and now she's here, threatening orgs like this.

You aren’t an ally

oof, I'm not your ally for sure.

And be honest, you aren't trans.

see, anyone can just type garbage, it doesn't mean they know what they're talking about. be the murderer you want to see I guess, get people all angry at transfolk for fucking murder, see how that improves the situation. nutbag.

At least she cant use her vast wealth to hurt people if she dies.

Kirk was made a joke by his own followers before the blood even dried. Bad people should not be allowed to continue hurting the world, even the extreme of killing is morally justified and more practically shows positive results once someone is as capable of causing damage on the scale of a billionaire.

Somehow My Immortal became the woke version of Harry Potter.
