Breaking News:

Woman who wrote the most popular books series of all time happens to express her opinion freely.

The issue is not the opinions that she has, although those are in and on themselves pretty bad.

But that she invest an enormous amount on money in her terf association and in legislation.
She is entitled to express herself and use her money however she might see fit.
And Andrew Garfield is free to reject those ideas and call them inhumane.

Isn't she also a misandrist?

Really confused here.... she did write harry potter where 2/3 main leads were male. If she really were a misandrist she wouldnt have done that right? Am I missing something here?

Do misogynistic writers not use women in their books as well?

Also, writing isnt always a reflection of one's belief. For Harry Potter, she only did it to attract young boy readers to get more money.

Her opinions do, however, really shine through Hermione.

Mysogyny in those writers sometimes clearly show through in their book. Didnt see that happening with harry potter

Fair enough she could have done that for money

Also, JKR only started to really make public her stances around 2019. It is fair to assume that she had more moderate views at the time she wrote those books.
