    IMO she’s already rich, and more of your money goes to an evil multi-billion dollar corporation than to her. If you enjoy the world fuck it, enjoy the shows, have, books, etc… There is no ethical consumption under capitalism and we’re in dark times. You need to covet the things that bring you joy.

    Side note: She plagiarized most of the first book from Anthony Horowitz’s “Groomsham Grange”. I understand there’s a lot of books about magical schools but seriously if you read them back to back it’s clear. This isn’t important to the conversation other than to supply another reason to hate the bitch.

    Edit: you can’t boycott someone who’s already rich off selling the IP. Be mad as you want, people aren’t enabling her by purchasing content made by freaking Warner Brothers. She already got her bag.

      No ethical consumption means: it’s hard to arrange for there to be clear alignment in people to boycott a particular entity, meaning many things that ought to go boycotted don’t. Therefore, when such a heinous person as Rowling or Musk arises that we can cohesively land a boycott, we ought to take advantage of it.

        You can’t boycott Rowlings at this point though, she’s made her fortune off the IP already. You’re essentially virtue signaling.

        Musk on the other hand has most his wealth tied to the stock of his company. They aren’t remotely similar.
