JK Rowling’s Chickens Have Just Come Home to Roost in a Big Way

TERF extraordinaire JK Rowling may be in for a bit of a rough awakening in 2022, and we’re not exactly mad about it.

After a year of the “Harry Potter” author doubling down on her transphobic views, even to the point of creating a therapy service that specifically excludes trans women from treatment, Rowling’s sales from Pottermore, the digital publisher and home of Harry Potter content, have seen a terrific 40% loss in the past year.

While experts view the dip in revenue as a result of the post-lockdown economy, it’s possible that Rowling’s transphobic behavior might also have something to do with it.

After “exceptional” 2021 results, Pottermore, the global digital publisher for J K Rowling’s Wizarding World, saw profits drop by 40% last year.

Let’s be honest: hate doesn’t sell as much as she thinks it does.

TERFism and transphobia are bad for business. https://t.co/7A0E3vbOKJ
