British writer J.K. Rowling has been targeted online again.

On Monday, September 14, Twitter users began posting information about the alleged death of the author of "Harry Potter" with the hashtag #RIPJKRowling ("Rest in Peace, J.K. Rowling").

Some bloggers in their messages explain that the writer is alive, and the gloomy hashtag is more likely addressed to her career - after all, according to many, it was Rowling's career that hurt her during the recent scandal.

“In memory of J.K. Rowling.

She's not dead, but with her ostentatious hatred of trans, she has killed her own career, and no one will miss her much, ”reads one of the posts.

Many users of social networks did not explain anything and confined themselves to publishing offensive illustrations with sarcastic signatures.

For example, one blogger posted a photo of an unhealthy-looking rat and explained that this is the last picture taken before the death of the writer. 

#RIPJKRowling can't believe she died ... this was the last picture that was taken of her before she passed😢 pic.twitter.com/YSEkG53DKJ

Another Twitter user combined a photo of Joanne Rowlig with a picture of Voldemort and wished the writer to "fly high."

However, on the social network, you can also see entries with sharper statements.

RIPJKRowling.

You rot in the cesspool, you ugly transphobic piece of shit!

Nobody will miss you, ”says one of the messages.

Another Twitter user compared Harry Potter to the creature from the novel "Frankenstein", emphasizing that "in humanity he surpassed his creator."

Another author attached a picture of Sesame Street Elmo dancing to his post and suggested celebrating J.K. Rowling's "death."

Twitter users from Russia mostly support J.K. Rowling and emphasize that tolerance is out of the question when expressing an alternative opinion leads to bullying.

“If I hear that freedom of speech and tolerance reign in the West, I will throw them this hashtag - #RIPJKRowling.

These freaks poison the woman for nothing.

But in this way a person can be brought to suicide, ”says one of the messages.

"We are against cyberbullying, we are for freedom of thought," said many people who buried Rowling for her opinion and her imagination ... This is so clown that it is even insulting to call it irony, "writes another microblogger.

Some were just scared when they saw the gloomy and eloquent hashtag.

I see the #RIPJKRowling tag in the actual.


what are you fucking there?

my heart almost jumped out.

The authors of several comments asked why people in principle publicly wish the death of a writer.

“Have you seen something like this, some similar hashtag like #RIPJKRowling, in relation to, for example, some rapist?

Murderer?

Pedophile?

Here I am too - no.

Compare the level “I wrote a book that can be traumatic for a trans-soo (controversial point, I don’t even want to discuss it)” and “killed / raped someone”.

You were completely stunned to wish her death and talk about her as if she had already died, ”writes one of the Twitter users.

By the way, a new wave of persecution of J.K. Rowling began on the eve of the publication of her new book Troubled Blood, the fifth installment in a series of crime novels about private detective Cormoran Strike.

Rowling's books are published under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.

The novel follows the disappearance of a woman believed to be the victim of a transvestite serial killer, according to reviews from foreign critics.

Some Twitter users have suggested that Rowling is deliberately initiating scandals to draw attention to the new book.

“Actually, this is ridiculous.

If it hadn't been for the #RIPJKRowling that started in Twi, I wouldn't even have known about the new book.

And the funny thing is that if it weren't for the topic, I wouldn't even think about reading it, because I don't think that Rowling's books are such good representatives of a British detective, ”writes one of the users.

J.K. Rowling found herself at the center of a scandal in early June when she tweeted the title of an article about creating a more equitable society for menstruating people.

The writer ironically hinted that such people are usually called women.

Rowling's post angered many netizens.

She was accused of hating transgender people.

Later, the writer published several more messages in which she tried to explain her position, and also wrote an entire essay on this topic.

The author has repeatedly emphasized her solidarity with transgender people and explained that she is concerned about the safety of women who are such from birth, but the bullying has not stopped.

She was joined by media personalities, including the leading actors in the films of the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts series.

Rowling was also accused of transphobia by human rights activist Carrie Kennedy. After that, the writer decided to return the Ripple of Hope award from the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Human Rights, which she received in 2019. Rowling explained that she was doing this "because of very serious differences of opinion" between her and the Center, and also noted that the ability to follow the instructions of her own conscience is more important to her than any awards.
