If only she'd quit while she was ahead she could have spent the rest of her life as the adored idol of readers everywhere. Instead she seems determined to destroy her own legacy and reputation in every way possible.
My thoughts exactly. Before her horrible opinions came out, I remember complaining that her attempts to ret-con diversity that clearly didn't exist in the actual text into Harry Potter felt shallow and insincere, and feeling like a cynical killjoy about it because I assumed her heart was in the right place and I was reading too much into things. Now I miss those days, because I genuinely hoped she'd prove me wrong and do better in her subsequent writing projects. My disappointment knows no bounds.
