Like people with ACAB in their Twitter bios wouldn't have made the same joke.

[(Anonymous)]

Would they have? I haven’t seen anybody with that in their bios make the same joke, or support JKR’s tweet and laugh along with her. So unless you have evidence of it happening, this is an assumption, and a possible bad faith assumption at that.

You're right. Those people really don't have much of a sense of humor, they would have just said "fuck cops" or posted some awful meme.

[(Anonymous)]

Someone saying fuck the cops, because they hate cops, is different from a well known hatemonger saying fuck cops because she hates LGBT people. Motivation and context matter, as I suspect you well know but are deliberately ignoring to push your own political point. The cops, even in the UK, have a long and complicated history with LGBT people, which is far from being a wholly positive one. LGBT people have a right to be sceptical of them, but they also have a right to expect cops actually do stuff like this in good faith too. A hatemonger, who uses the name of a proponent of conversion "therapy" as their pen name, has no dog in this race, nor any right to have any expectations whatsoever.

Hang on, what? I hadn't heard the conversion therapy penname one? What's that about?

When Rowling decided to use a male pen name for her, also full of transphobic dogwhistles (with a dash of anti-Muslim dogwhistles too) detective books she chose the name Robert Galbraith. Robert Galbraith-Heath was one of the champions of conversion therapy, and prior to Rowling shortening the name, the top google search result at the time for Robert Galbraith. As Rowling has previously bragged about how she researched names in the Potter books to make sure she got the correct meanings, it seems highly unlikely that this was chosen by accident (but with just enough wiggle room, like all bigots do with their dogwhistles, to let their supporters make bad faith claims that it was). It is all part of the pattern with her.
Anyway, here is Galbraith-Heath's wikipedia article. Usual wiki caveats apply, of course. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Galbraith_Heath

YO WHAT THE FUCK I didn't know about this.
Thanks for sharing it.
Sometimes when I read stuff like this I think I'm just living in a simulation where people's purpose of life is just to troll me. This is just too egregious and I can't believe she did that. Just. Why.

This 100%.
