Joanne Rowling. I used to love the Harry Potter books, but the author turned out to be such a hateful bigot. Haven't consumed anything Harry Potter-related after the movies except Coldmirror's outstanding analysis of the first movie (and I'm pretty sure JKR didn't earn a cent from that).

Same here. I still like the universe, but it's quite sad to see what she has become now.

It’s super tragic. She could have been a feminist icon: poor teacher, living off government assistance, writes a beloved series. There was so much good will towards her. Same with that chuckle-fuck Dawkins who thinks his field of science is the only science. Way to shit all over your scientific legacy and become the word-twisting charlatan you once lamented.
