J.K. Rowling Handles Online Troll In Masterful Fashion
J.K. Rowling handled an online troll in perfect fashion.
The "Harry Potter" creator is used to getting a lot of backlash online because she routinely stands up for women. Rowling makes it clear spaces meant for females shouldn't be invaded by males claiming to be women. She's held the line for years without any sign of backing down.
That's made her a target of the woke mob, and apparently a bookstore employee who likes to hide her novels so they can't be purchased.
J.K. Rowling owns online troll.
"I would like @jk_rowling to know that I work at a bookstore and I make sure to spine-out her gods-awful books as much as possible, rather than front-face them out. We don’t promote transphobic and ableist trash while MY Queer ass is around," X user @BiFelicia319 tweeted over the weekend.
Totally normal and not at all strange to tweet at someone you don't know about hiding their books.
Well, Rowling didn't hesitate to return fire, but instead of escalating, she minimized the troll by joking her career is now over because *checks notes* one random bookstore worker claims to hide her novels.
Let me know what you think of her response at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
Below is a live look at Rowling after smashing the send button on that tweet.
That was simply the perfect response. The idea a random bookstore worker is going to impact Rowling's life by hiding her books is hilarious.
Her net worth isn't concrete, but multiple online sources put it around $1 billion. She's also going to get another healthy payment once the HBO series comes out.
She has so much money that she could burn a pile of it every single day, and it wouldn't even be noticed. Yet, this one troll online thinks they're heroic for hiding her books.
As you can tell, the "Harry Potter" author is shook!

The woke mob has no power if you don't allow it to gain any. J.K. Rowling is rich, a powerful voice for women, and she refuses to back down. There's nothing the wokes can do to her, and that must drive them insane. However, normal people are all for it. Let me know at David.Hookstead@outkick.com your thoughts on Rowling and if you agree!
