Harry Potter creator goes on rant about asexuals for some reason ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Because she is a homophobic piece of shit.

Sounds like Voldermor was inspired by her own persona

More the Dursleys IMO. She hates the people who don't conform to her view of normality.

Don't think so, really. Remember, everyone's the hero of their own story, she doesn't see herself as a bad person.

If I had to guess, she sees herself as Hermione.

Anyway, her choice of the main bad guy always felt interesting to me - he's got just so specific character traits (incapable of love, extremely narcissistic) that I always wondered which of her family members he's (unconsciously?) modeled after.

Homophobic? I thought she was just anti-trans.

Either way, I'm very curious how the LGBT community views a wholly trans-phobic shit stain that simultaneously claims to support the gay community. I know just such a person and would like some insight from the community itself.

Well she sure is not an ally, or even neutral.

The term is TERF.

In the HP fanfiction community many/most despise her.
