‘Andrew Tate for rich middle-aged white women’: J.K. Rowling compared to the worst guy on the internet after out of touch X post

J.K. Rowling isn’t particularly liked by a majority of the internet. The once beloved author provided most millennials and even many Gen Z kids with some brilliant childhoods thanks to her Harry Potter books. However, she has since outed herself as a hateful, spiteful individual who seems to relish in other people’s misery.

This week the U.K. Supreme Court decided that trans women cannot be defined as women. The recent court ruling brought an end to a dispute between feminist advocacy groups and the Scottish government. Across the country people have protested against the ruling as it will have far-reaching implications for people in the trans community.

J.K. Rowling celebrates

Of course, the Harry Potter author was overjoyed at the recent news. So much so that she had to let everyone else know. Rowling posted a picture of herself on what appears to be her yacht, with a glass of champagne in one hand and a cigar in the other — the luxurious self-indulgence here is giving Umbridge. The caption reads, “I love it when a plan comes together.”

There’s just something about the picture that just makes her look almost cartoonishly villainous. It’s probably the cigar, cartoons have taught me that only bad guys smoke cigars. A few people have actually drawn comparisons between Rowling’s picture and a pic of Andrew Tate smoking a fat cigar. One person on X pointed out that “JK Rowling is to women what Andrew Tate is to men.”

The unlikely pair have a lot in common

Of course, the similarities don’t end with their apparent love for smoking cigars. Both are chronically online individuals who pander to the right-wing by spouting hateful rhetoric. Their personalities basically revolve around being “anti-woke” which attracts a small but crazy loyal group of followers who will defend them no matter what. However, it also earns them ire from pretty much everyone else online.

Being compared to Tate will no doubt upset Rowling, at least it should. Despite her bigoted opinion when it comes to trans rights, she still insists that she is a feminist. Andrew Tate is the antithesis of a feminist. However, these are the kinds of people that are associated with her name now and it’s all thanks to her anti-progressive stance. Let’s not forget, she’s agreed with far-right figures like Elon Musk in the past.

At this point it seems the mold has fully taken over.

Anyways, the J.K. Rowling we once knew as kids is gone. This hateful rhetoric is all many will remember her for now. Like it or not she’s in the same league as Tate, one of the biggest misogynists out there.
