J.K. Rowling embraces being called a cult leader, outlines terms and conditions for membership
Whenever J.K Rowling decides to weigh into gender and identity politics, you can guarantee that controversy and backlash isn’t going to be too far behind, with the author repeatedly inciting online warfare by outlining her stance on the matter.
Recommended VideosWhile everyone is entitled to express their opinion on whatever they want, the author’s anti-trans verbiage has seen her alienate a massive amount of her former fans, to the extent people are now demanding boycotts on any and all things Harry Potter, even if Rowling’s vast wealth has seen her make it perfectly clear she’s going to be laughing all the way to the bank whatever happens.
Just like clockwork, then, the latest chapter in the never-ending discourse has seen Rowling branded a “cult leader” for transphobics and TERFs everywhere, after she once more waded into the weeds of the cultural conversation.
Never one to go down without attempting to land a couple of punches of her own, Rowling ended up fully embracing the terminology, and began underlining the requirements necessary to join her cabal.
I'm such a crap cult leader. I'm not even convinced you're all sending me 10% of your earnings. Last month's cheque barely covered dog food.
— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) June 3, 2023Not that Rowling needs 10 percent of anyone’s earnings when she’s constantly reminding the world how rich she is, but apparently dozens of husbands are also part of the deal when you get on board.
Best offer I've had so far. You're now second in command of the cult and when I ascend to heaven, you get my fifty-two husbands (whether you want them or not) and the prophecies I've written in Pig Latin on a matchbox I've lost.
— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) June 3, 2023Of course, it wasn’t long before a self-proclaimed TERF arrived on the scene, where they were immediately welcomed in with open arms.
Tithing is the whole basis of my cult, Jennifer, and don't pretend you didn't know, because I wrote out the cheque myself for you to sign, but I seem to remember your pen 'didn't work.' #excommunicated
— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) June 3, 2023If you want to join J.K. Rowling’s cult, then it seems as though she’s willing to have you. For anyone else who isn’t losing their mind, stay as far away as possible from the Harry Potter creator’s timeline in general, because she’s not interested in whether it causes any offense or upset.
