So JK Rowling has revealed herself to be an ableist piece of shit who thinks that people are overmedicated, that depression and such can JUST be talked out and that things are "overdiagnosed" instead of new science leading to better, more accurate diagnoses. Anyone who supports her still and thinks she's not in the wrong is fucking trash.

[(Anonymous)]

also called transitioning "the new conversion therapy" if we want to talk about that

[(Anonymous)]

DA

Do we have to talk about it? Again?

And yes, she used that EXACT WORDING.

[(Anonymous)]

Yup, she's garbage. It's absolutely murdered any fondness I had left in my heart for Harry Potter, so I went to go donate all my books to a used bookshop... and I was one of three other people there at that moment doing the same thing, and the seller told us she couldn't even take any more of them because so many had been donated to her lol. No one's buying them anymore, either, apparently.

[(Anonymous)]

Sure. And then everyone else in the store stood up and clapped.

[(Anonymous)]

Pfff, plenty of people will read Harry Potter now.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't agree with the majority of her views, but this has put me off of Harry Potter not one single bit.

[(Anonymous)]

She's not wrong, though. Medication is NOT the answer for all mental issues and there are plenty of cases that can in fact be talked out (and where medication actually won't help much if at all) because the depression or anxiety stem from life circumstances rather than from chemical imbalances. There's a reason therapists and counselors exist.

[(Anonymous)]

uwu U just need to TAWK abooooowt it!!!!

Therapy is best ALONGSIDE medication, you dumbass. Signed, an abuse victim who had life circumstances, so fuck off with your ableist shitty takes

[(Anonymous)]

Sure, but I still would need to see a lot more evidence to believe that a crisis of over-prescription of things like SSRIs exists. And even if such a problem did exist, it would still be bad to frame it in terms of personal laziness, and it would still contribute to stigmatizing psychiatric medication.

[(Anonymous)]

As long as one has money and finds a good therapist. I haven't managed to do so, the ones I saw only made me cry and asked difficult questions.

[(Anonymous)]

Seriously, can everyone stop with the fucking invalidating of others' experiences?

Meds worked for some folks.

Meds didn't work for some folks.

Enough with the fucking arguing. "Not all cases" does not mean "no cases." "I needed medication" does not mean "everybody needs it." One result does not negate YOUR result. Somebody doing something else does not mean you personally missed out on anything.

[(Anonymous)]

Please calm down. She's entitled to her opinion.

[philstar22]

And people are entitled to think her opinion is shit and make her bad for holding them.

[(Anonymous)]

And I'm entitled to my opinion that her opinion is shit

[11thmirror]

And we're entitled to our opinions. Deal.

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed.

[(Anonymous)]

"Please calm down"

The magical words angry or agitated people very much wanted to hear... never.

[philstar22]

Yup. I'm done with her and I'm glad I was already done with Potter.

[(Anonymous)]

honestly?

she should never have post-facto made dumbledore gay.

pretty much EVERYTHING that's come out of her mouth (or fingers) since then has been the digging of progressively deeper holes and tying herself in knots to justify both her writing and her attitudes

[(Anonymous)]

sometimes it feels like JK Rowling is going to become some kind of bloody mary of the internet - write her name 3 times and the wank will come....

[(Anonymous)]

She-who-shall-not-be-named?

[(Anonymous)]

it is kind of funny that the primary wank ITT was not really about trans issues, and was about a whole completely other thing instead

[(Anonymous)]

is anyone other than me thinking that rowling is being such an ass because likes publicity and isn't doing as well at writing as she used to?
