Oh look! It’s the old “you don’t agree with me therefore you aren’t really thinking for yourself” bullshit argument.
Also, that whole “champion of free speech” thing doesn’t mean he has to agree with everything you like. You all hate freedom of speech because it allows people to disagree with you and you can’t handle anyone thinking differently from you. It’s amazing how much of this “free thinker” shit is really not about free thinking, but about someone they call a “free thinker” doing the thinking for them.
I can think for myself and I don’t trust anyone else to do my thinking for me, let alone Kanye West or JK Rowling.
Also, if you’re saying SK and Atwood and Gaiman are little trolls whose careers were made by JKR… ummmmm Stephen King and Margaret Atwood both have been in the business for several several decades longer than JKR and even though Neil Gaiman could be considered her contemporary, his work has very little to do with Rowling’s. If you are referring to someone else whose career she did create, good on them for being decent and taking the less prejudiced route.
