JK Rowling needs more to hate, goes after asexual

Fuck this cunt and her “legacy”.

Who gives a fuck about asexuals? Leave them alone, Cockney Karen, they don’t bother anyone-that’s why they’re asexual.

I like TERFs in general, but I hate that this has become her brand now.

There are only so many biological facts you can state before you start becoming part of the problem. Then you’re just another asshole yelling into the wind on Twitter.

Agreed R3. Her original comments about trans people were not extreme or cruel—they were pretty levelheaded and she still came across as empathetic. The “she’s a transphobe!!!” backlash was pure hysteria. But I do agree that she’s leaned into this too much and it’s getting tiresome. She got stung by a hive of wasps and she’s now embodying an antagonistic persona out of spite.

R8 Maybe the right is actually an umbrella of political views and ideologies and isn’t so one track as you want it to be because technically, both parties are fighting for women’s rights which is the most ironic part about all of this.

One side wants to take away reproductive rights, one side says biological men can partake in women’s spaces.

It should not be about choosing the lesser of evils for women in my humble opinion.

R11 Why should people who say they don’t experience any sexual attraction at all be included with a group of people who most definitely do?

The forced teaming of alphabet soup gender specials with LGBs is getting ridiculous at this point. LGBTQIA2S+ has become so all-encompassing that it no longer represents any semblance of a cohesive community with a shared purpose.

She's right again. At least in the sense that it's absurd that Asexual is heard outside a conversation between patient and doctor.

If someone doesn't have sex it's the same to me as if he or she doesn't eat avocado, or doesn't speak a Romance language, or doesn't read books, or doesn't listen to jazz or a thousand other doesn'ts. It's neither good nor bad nor a point for much discussion beyond, "well, alright then."

There's no shame. Nor is there any reason to set a special plate for them at the table, or not talk about their child that died.

I haven't had sex in several years. If it happens again, great; if not, fine. My libido has changed, as has my need to be intimate with someone else.

It never would occur to me to broadcast this in a normal situation, much less have a "day" for it or a flag.

Yes, she's overreacting, but the obsession among Gen Z types about "what category do I belong to? what's my label? I need an identity!" is really tiresome.

Yes, and it's interesting that for a woman who worked for UNICEF and was supposedly very active in charities that her first go to defense for anyone who doesn't bow to her is to ridicule them for not being as wealthy as she is. That or the Karen behavior of threatening them with legal action.

Her hardcore fanbase in Britian is conservative. They were bitching back in 2020 about using the terms "White privilege" and "Black Lives Matter". She was gushing over Matt Walsh a year or two back. Anyone who thinks she's some brave crusader is a dope at this point. Where are all these gay and trans people who are supposedly so close to her?

I don’t know what the fuck an asexual community is or why it exists, or why I’m associated with it just because I’m gay, but she’s moved way into asshole territory already. She may have enough fuck you money to say whatever she wants, but she also has enough to keep her cunt yap shut.

JK Rowling saved a lot of kids from the trans movement which was growing rapidly in Europe and the UK with almost no opposition. In the year 2022, in Denmark alone, referrals to trans clinics by young people increased over 3,000%. Yes, three thousand percent. There were several-thousand-percent increases in other Western countries. Why did the number of people “born into” the “wrong” bodies suddenly explore in number??

I used to like her and, at the start, she made some valid, mild points about the worse of trans more radical agenda.

by Anonymousreply 49April 8, 2025 1:13 AM

This is what you need to understand about J.K. Rowling

She is autistic. You can see it in her eyes. Many fantasy writers are. Every fantasy writer with two or more initials in their name was/is probably autistic (C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, George R.R. Martin, H.P. Lovecraft). This is because the autistic brain is the only kind that can conceptualize these fantastically imaginary worlds.

Now, as we can see with the Afrikaner doofus in the White House, autistic people do not know when to stop. They just go on and on and on and on. Because that’s how the brain works. It thinks circuitously. There is also an empathy deficit because autistic people have trouble with theory of mind (understanding that other people exist). Autistic people are also prone to lash out. This is called a meltdown (“NO FANK YOU!”). So what you are seeing is an autistic person lashing out because autistic people are also prone to extremely rigid thinking. JK refuses to compromise on her ideas about transgenderism which have validity with other women. A sensible person would have dropped the subject by now. Even most autistic people would have dropped the subject by now.

Except for one thing

JK Rowling has “Fuck You” money.

Heaven help you if you tangle with an autistic person with Fuck You Money. Again, the Afrikaner in Washington is exhibit A.

R51 right. Like it makes her original position against the trans agenda seem disingenuous. Here comments here are just sophomoric and unironic. Like was she trying to be funny. Asexuals have that day because of the host of issues they face. People will assume they’re gay which in itself can make them discriminated against. It’s just so fucking stupid for her to try to hop on this right wing train. I considered somewhat intellectual even though she is a writer of fictional fantasy. Social media will be the death of good culture and class.

R50 👏 soot on. I know this sounds crazy but that’s why I sometimes think I’m autistic but I am overly empathetic almost to a fault sometimes. I like to be funny and talk big shit on here but I am truly overly sensitive to peoples feelings. They say cells have memory. I wonder if substance abuse can you repattern your brain to mimic certain autistic traits.

R54 I think you are missing my larger point. Am I cynical about Asexual Day, yeah but who am I to judge. I’m guessing the shit has existed since the 70s but now is being lumped with this anti woke crusade. But more importantly someone like Rowling who has her own brand of social activism and speaks on social issues despite not formerly educated in their disciplines, she carries herself with a higher level of intellectualism. What is the end goal of her comment besides chasing clout or maybe autistic like someone else pointed out. She could have said nothing. Which makes me think DL people were right along about her all along. DL is usually right about shit except elections.

by Anonymousreply 56April 8, 2025 2:27 AM

She's slowly taking the Linehan route away from pure transphobia towards a broader war on other minority gender and sexual identities also. We all know where this ends: cyberstalking individual members of the public while insisting that they are lying about their sexuality.

R59 - why would ANY asexual be mistaken for gay? That's doesn't make any sense either. That's just throwing some other's oppression on to asexuality.

R56 - She's never comes across as purporting to be intellectual. Why is she commenting? Because the shit is getting ridiculous.

Making up little niche gender/sexuality groups just makes anything less than heterosexual look a bit crazy. Insisting there's persecution where none exists is irritating and attention-seeking behavior.

There are probably very few people who have biological disorders that prevent sexual desire or arousal - but extremely rare. The rest of them are just anxious about sex with another person.

Go online - the asexual resources say that many asexuals have sex and masturbate - WTF? They say that oh - asexuals still have sex but they just don't have sexual ATTRACTION.

Sorry guys - but you have to draw the line somewhere with this BULLSHIT. And I'm tired of gays and lesbians being thrown in with these assholes.

R64 - look up definitions of asexuality - once again, they talk about 'oh it's a spectrum' and some have lowered libido and many still have sex or masturbate.

It's all nonsense. They want to distinguish the differences among libido, sexual desire and sexual attraction - stating that they can have libido and sexual desire but not have sexual attraction to a partner, even though they will engage in sex with them for romantic intimacy and other reasons. ????

I don't know about you, but I'm not able to have sex with someone I have no sexual attraction to. That's akin to prostitution.

It's trying to create some class of people out of nothing where there are no clear definitions and 'it's all on a spectrum' bullshit. These types don't like to have labels, but yet here they are claiming asexuality is a thing, but they can't define it well enough.

At some point you have to stand up and call out the bullshit for what it is. Check out THIS thought piece - about 37 types of attraction, including Zucchini, Squish, Demiromantic, Alloromantic, Auto romantic, etc.

They are literally just making shit up. And that's why people with a brain are pushing back on this crap. It's like the 73 genders bullshit.

Nobody could possibly take this seriously - and gays and lesbians are paying the price by being thrown in with this crap.

My last question - if asexuals still masturbate - what do they think of when they do? If they're not sexually attracted to any partner, then do they think of non-humans?

You bet your ass they have porn and think of people.

If you look up many of the vids interviewing asexuals - 80% women, then a few clearly gay men - and half are just not very attractive people.

I get that the young dating and sex world can be overwhelming and not a good fit - but this feels like just a complete rejection of that instead of finding your own path.

They all state 'don't let others tell you how you are - listen to yourself and you're perfectly fine the way you are'. Another reason not to grow or step outside of their boundaries and zones.

R67 - that's very rare - not thinking about anyone or anything? I don't buy it.

And how does asexual which means the opposite of sexual allow you to be on a spectrum of sexuality - and still have sex and masturbate?

The point is with all of this alphabet soup stuff is that nobody is supposed to question it - just state things like they are facts and that other people don't understand because they aren't part of that group. Then bully, cry, scream and shame people who don't go along with it.

Same tactics for every group other than L or G. We had logic, facts, history, reason and science on our side. The alphabet soup just has the feels.
