JK Rowling

Oh how brave, how immensly fantastic, what nerve you have, to say this after your books have all come out (so to speak) and you've done absolutely nothing, nothing at all with it.
What is it, he's old, so he can do no harm? Whereas Remus, Snape, all the others with tons more subtext... well, they're still virile, we can't have that. That would bring to mind images of working penises and we can't handle that.

And the most manipulative, bastard-ish character at that.
You utter utter utter bitch.
"oh no, slash writers, I don't like you, here I shall make one of my most queer characters straight, but here, you can play with this one"
No thanks! I don't want him!

"But you see, Harry looked up to a poofter, isn't that grand".
No, because as far as we know he looked up to a closeted poofter and what good has that ever done anyone?

Oh, and this: Rowling also said that she regarded her Potter books as a "prolonged argument for tolerance" and urged her fans to "question authority."
Yes, that comes across in your treatment of a quarter of the Hogwarts students. You've certainly showed us there are grey areas in life. What was it McGonagall said to them "your kind can all piss off back to the holes you crawled out of, we don't need you here"?
Yeah... something like that....
