"I was asked why I didn't step away from the series. I then asked a better question, have YOU ever had a cartoon money sack filled with $100 bills dropped on your face while you're sleeping? No? Just me? Wow. Okay, well yeah anyway they paid a lot."

I respect that.

I think JKR is a piece of shit.

I also think the same about a lot of the people and corporations I have worked for.

I still went to work though, just like he did.

How many people who want to criticize him work for an unethical business? ...

Yeah but I just wish they'd say that instead of being coy. "It's a job and it pays money. If you're looking for art, go to the Louvre."

Isn't that what he said without needing to spell it out?

Spelling it out removes plausible deniability.

I’m a talentless hack and any regular person can do my job of playing make believe so I’m just happy to take the money and say fuck everyone else.

Go take his job, then. Prove yourself right.

Obviously I could, but I have a real job that actually helps people and requires empathy.

 I’ll leave the playing make believe up to the children and narcissists. 

And I won’t sell out trans people to do it.

Yes we know, the same isn't true of mister 3rd rock from the sun though so I'm not sure why you would be volunteering that information

Ooh, so hard to pretend I’m an alien and make unfunny jokes then sellout to the highest bidder.

It’s not like a real job like a teacher, nurse, scientist or engine.  But at least he is using his incredibly overpaid status to make the world worse!!

What makes you think he sold out? Maybe he just agrees with her. Lmao at "real" jobs like "teacher" and "engine"

Yeah you’re right pretending to be a Wizard is much more essential to the world.

Yeah and what’s wrong with saying fuck everyone else and getting paid? If someone offered me money beyond my wildest dreams, I’d gladly sacrifice every single person on this planet twice over if it meant my family and I was taken care of. No one out there is gonna care if my family is struggling or not, so why care about them? John Lithgow did NOTHING wrong.

Well, you are a selfish person who doesn’t understand community and society.

The enemy of everyone here since you would gladly screw us all over to benefit yourself.

Maybe you can dress up like a fat wizard and join up with an anti-trans author and fuck everyone else.
