That's the address for the first page of Yahoo results for "jk rowling cultural appropriation."
The character of Snape was full of Anti-Semitic stereotypes, from his "hooked nose" to his "greasy" skin, to his obsession with the "Dark Arts." Her numerous other cultural insensitivities have been discussed, mostly only by the minorities who were slighted by them, which is why not only has the establishment not removed her from her throne as the queen of children's literature and a profiteer of Hollywood, she is also being treated as if she has the right to be considered politically relevant.
For the past few years, she has targeted the mentally ill, first by calling her fictional, North American school of magic "Ilvermorny," even though Vermont is where live Quidditch started, and now by using mental illness as a joke to attack President Trump.
That's a picture of a Tweet published by Ms. Rowling today.
I read the first Harry Potter series many years ago, and forgave her for her ignorant bigotry then, as did many other people, because she's clearly a talented writer, and her rags-to-riches personal story made everyone willing to forgive her. Years later, she's much richer and no less of an ignorant bigot. She has found other targets. She knows she won't be confronted by anyone other me for her attacks on people who are diagnosed with mental illness, since the entire world hates and fears the mentally ill, and since I was her target for the amusement of the entertainment industry when she called her second fictional school of magic "Ilvermorny," she knows my protests about that are laughed at. She also knows that anyone who wants a cheap laugh can target the President, so today she has combined her bigotry and her greed for applause.
