Fans Believe They’ve Discovered the Source of Rowling’s Transphobia
Join us on Reddit for the latest Marvel & DC news!
With her Harry Potter books, which were later adapted into a popular and successful film series, author J.K. Rowling raised and inspired several generations of children around the world. The series is currently being adapted for television, but despite the fact that the series is still one of the most cherished ones of all time, the author has recently been in the spotlight not because of her works, but because of politics.
Namely, for a while now, J.K. Rowling has been one of the most vigorous anti-trans rights advocates, with her comments and opinions generally being labeled as transphobic and a clear example of bigotry. She also came into a fight with the former Harry Potter stars, as well as numerous other people, over her comments.
We on Fiction Horizon have documented her outbursts on more than one occasion, and now it is time to give them a more humorous twist. Namely, after browsing through Rowling’s social media profiles, the fans think they have discovered the source of Rowling’s transphobia, and it seems that the author did not like the joke.
Before we continue, please take a look at this tweet:
i’m 100% in on the theory that JK Rowling is the way that she is because there’s black mold in her house pic.twitter.com/TM6x7rVMJn

As you can see, the author of this tweet noticed something that looks like black mold, which can – according to popular belief – cause neurological and psychological issues to those who are exposed to it for a long period of time. While this has not been scientifically proven – so, please, take it as a joke – the people on Twitter have been having a field day with it, and here are some of the best jokes:
RIP Edgar Allan Poe. You would have loved watching a beloved children's author slowly driven to insanity by black mold inside the walls of her castle.

JK Rowling: perhaps I should work on a new book today

The black mold growing up her walls: how about we transvestigate an Olympian instead
JK Rowling: then, at age 53, Ron divorces Hermione to go follow his favorite wizarding band The Crumpty Dumpys.

The black mold living on her walls: Feeeeeeeeed meeeeeee
jk rowling’s profile picture revealing visible black mold that is apparently growing up her walls is probably the greatest chekhov’s gun of all time

But, if you thought that Rowling – who likes to engage her fans – ignored it, you’re wrong, as she not only changed her picture but posted a new one that seems… well, take a look for yourselves:
jk rowling ditched the black mold pic for whatever the fuck we have here pic.twitter.com/XvYLi2GUp8

We don’t know that that is in the background, but it seems to be highly suggestive, and that, of course, only added fuel to the already burning fire. We shall see if anything develops out of this small feud.
