This is giving JK way too much credit. She’s always be a shit person, she just has the money and power to let it show. She literally wrote a book about people who are persecuted for things they cannot change about themselves, and then she turns around in the real world to be Voldemort! There’s something very personal deep down in JK she hates about herself and is projecting it.
She unquestionably has some unaddressed, deep seated sexual or gender identity issues. She has said too many times she thinks she’d be trans if she were growing up today, uses a male pen name to write a book about a trans serial killer, can’t stop won’t stop TERFing even now that her lawyers are finally telling her she needs to shut up
Could be either
- She got her bag and now she can let her freak flag fly.
- Rich people boredom turning her weird. She wasn’t an outspoken transphobe when she was on welfare writing the rough draft of HP1 after all. Kinda ties to one but also notably different.
That would seriously explain so much.
… Would actually be a neat idea for a book/movie as well: Successful hack author gets driven mad by some mold to go down the alt-right pipeline after they’ve artistically peaked.

Devils advocate, ignoring possible outside factors for behavioural changes is also a disservice to acknowledging how prevalent bigotry is, black mould of course over long term exposure would most likely just cause confusion and memory loss, but lead? Lead will fuck your brain right up and send you down all sorts of nasty paths.
Of course she may just be this way, but again, if there is even the possibility for an environmental factor causing degradation into this mindset for a large percentage of the population, it must be addressed or at least considered

No, kindly don’t tell me what I’m saying. I’m playing devil’s advocate to your comment which said “it actually doesn’t explain anything”, I’m saying why that statement has no weight behind it.
And who’s deciding what’s too literal here? You? From where I’m standing it seems like you just didn’t like me disagreeing with you. If I’m being too literal may I suggest you’re possibly being too emotional and holistic?
Perhaps separate your feelings on the woman and what she’s done and look at evidence for possibilities rather than lashing out with a simple absolute like “Sad reality is she is just a nasty, hateful person.”

I was joking. I don’t think that bigotry is that prevalent. But growing distant to your fellow humans due to becoming stupid rich makes you more succeptible to it.
It’s more a meme than truth. The “black mold” picture is of wallpaper and like much online gumshoeing it’s sourced by people piling on an allegation without any bearing in fact.
JK Rowling’s bigotry has nothing to do with her McMansion’s state of repair. It’s the standard English brain worms that every rich person in her social club develops.
I believe the headline but what an awful article. They just link to the post about the mold and do no research on what wallpaper it could be. These articles are turning into ChatGPT summaries of conversations on Twitter.
Some redditor said to find this video:
to see an expanded view:
where they believe they see a tree wallpaper.
So whatever broke JK was arguably not mold. Cold black heart…
It was like this before ChatGPT. I’m sure that ChatGPT makes it a lot easier, though.
I mean, that article doesnt provide any proof that its wallpaper, and that would be some ugly-ass wallpaper if it is. Who would ever put that in a house? Also theres no discernable repeating pattern to it, though maybe we just cant see enough.

Never even knew about the mold. Just thought the idea was funny. 😅
Article contains picture.
Article does not contain picture of the actual subject of the article.
I mean, several books by Stephen King have actually been written by the mountains of coke and rivers of booze he did, as he has no memories of writing them.
Arguably, Secret Window.
We need to get rich people back to the good old days where they’d build parks and libraries or have pet artists they’d pay to run wild.
In other words, when they’d have a thin veneer of decency to try to rehabilitate their robber-baron image, after already having exploited the people under them for decades unchecked to get to that point? Those are what you’re calling the “good old days?”
…okay, fair enough — sad to say, but that is marginally better than the status quo now!
But still, if we’re setting goals I’d prefer they be about stopping the exploitation in the first place rather than trying to encourage self-serving philanthropy afterwards.
Tbf those rich people were simultaneously waging literal war (like with guns and everything) against their workers.
