Rowling quote from the article:
It's difficult to accept that someone I used to respect could say such hateful things about people like me. I'm not gonna lie, it hurts to read. What the fuck, Joanne? Is that all I am to you... just a man "performing" my idea of femaleness? Well, fuck you, then. Should I wish for you to feel the same pain you've inflicted on others? To be honest, judging by your "performance" in the media the past several years, I don't think you're resilient enough to survive it.
So wait, did you wish her the pain or no?
Sounds to me they were admitting to being human and thought about it, but dont really want to give in to a harmful base impulse like that...
Edit: Removed some redundancy
I'm just trying to clarify their final position.
Why? We have no reason to believe the person you are grilling has any capability of harming JK Rowling, so you're grilling someone who's hurt that someone they grew up reading turned out to be shitty for no real purpose
Edit: Added "You're"
I would like a fine patagonia fleece. I dont like the way oakleys fit my face, but if they are free and i can sell/re-gift them then i will not turn them down.
Unless this is reference to something that i dont understand.
Think about it for a moment, dear. Who dresses that way?
I can honestly say i have no idea.
Outdoors type people? South Americans? Oak trees?
Thats as far as i can get by thinking about it. You are gonna have to spell it out, because a patagonia fleece and some oakleys are not a stereotype i am aware of.
They won't spell out anything it seems, as it would require them admitting their true position which they are ashamed of...or something? I'm as confused as you are, but also would quite like a free Patagonia sweater.
That wouldn't get anyone banned though.
As evidenced by me saying: 'I wish harm to JK Rowling'.
Also I legitimately don't understand your last question.
