Harry Potter author JK Rowling must be growing bored with transphobia because now she's using her worldwide platform to whine about asexuals.

Sunday, April 6 was International Asexuality Day, and of course Rowling couldn't possibly just let the day go by.

She shared a celebratory infographic created by an activist organization and used it to mock asexual people instead.

It was tepid criticism compared to some of the things she's said about trans people, but another bizarre example of her obsession with LGBTQ+ people, nonetheless.

Rowling posted:

"Happy International Fake Oppression Day to everyone who wants complete strangers to know they don't fancy a shag."

Pretty hilarious to make claims about "fake oppression" in a post oppressing the people you're criticizing, but that's Rowling for you.

People had thoughts.

Anyway, why Rowling has a problem with people simply being aware that asexuality exists is anyone's guess, but Yasmin Benoit, an activist who co-created International Asexuality Day, spoke out to PinkNews about why Rowling's unkind words matter.

“A lot of people’s introduction [to International Asexuality Day] has now been through JK Rowling hating on it."
"It’s becoming a conversation in so many spaces I haven’t seen before, but for a negative reason. She kind of hijacked the occasion.”

Which is kind of her whole thing. Joanne loves attention!

JK Rowling is vile, and in no way an ally to LGBTQ+ people. Asexual people continue to be persecuted through forced sexualisation. People stigmatise their clothing choices and behaviors which lead to harassment. There’s need for increased visibility and education on this issue.

Benoit went on to tell PinkNews that rhetoric like Rowling's contributes to stigma against asexual people that includes accusations that it is a mental illness, the result of mental health treatments like SSRIs, or part of the "trans agenda," all of which are false.

On social media, Rowling's comments did not go over well at all.

so jk rowling hates asexuals now? how often was that woman dropped as a baby jesus christ

JK Rowling is cruel and stupid.

And, of course, there were lots of asexuality-themed jokes about Rowling's infamous black mold problem she is alleged to have in her house.


Here's hoping that one day, Rowling finds a hobby or something so she's not so triggered by other people existing. Poor thing.

MAGA Melts Down After 'Woke' Pope Leo Urges The World To 'Search Always For Peace'

MAGA followers were not happy with Pope Leo XIV and accused him of being "woke" after he, in remarks to reporters, implored "people of good will" to "search always for peace."

The Pope spoke out after President Donald Trump insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

CNN aired a fitting montage after President Donald Trump launched a broad attack on several conservative media figures—Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones—accusing them of being “stupid,” attention-seeking, and out of step with his political movement.

Carlson urged U.S. military aides to refuse any orders involving the killing of Iranian civilians. Owens, formerly of Turning Point USA, condemned the administration as “satanic” and called on Congress to remove what she described as the “Mad King Trump.”

Social media has not only made information more accessible, but it's made it so much harder to preserve privacy.

For social media influencers, it's important for them to be as discreet as they can be about their living location and frequent places that they visit, because otherwise their followers and viewers could begin to piece together where they go and where they live.
