Grindyerball and Dumblewhore


or, I could make a subtitle: J.K. Rowling is raving jackass.


Seriously folks. Gay Dumbledore? First of all, your seven book is done lady--could you be any more desperate for attention at this point? And second. No. You don't get to go back and add things to characters after the novels have all been released. You want to change the orientation of someone? Then do it in a book. Otherwise you are just spouting shite to get your name in YET ANOTHER news article.
It would be the same as if George Lucas held a press conference and said, "Oh, You know what. Obi Wan and Luke had a little tet-a-tet just before Luke went back to find Uncle Owen and Aunt Baru. I never added that in there, but I meant to." And while Luca is famous for adding things into 4, 5, and 6, there is absolutely no support for that kind of story.
And the same is true here. If he were really a gay character then why isn't there ONE SINGLE MOMENT over the course of SEVEN books that makes us even question his sexuality. If anything the wiz comes off as A-sexual. I mean he's got to be like ninety or something right?
The main point is either a) she's a lying glory hound who delights in making waves and gay is the "hot" topic right now or b) she is such a lousy author that she couldn't manage actually WRITING about a gay character in any of her books.
Take your pick. Either way, what little respect I had for her as a person is toast.

And don't get me wrong. I love the books. I think they are great children's fiction. But over the years I've had less and less respect for her and this is just the icing on the cake. So more or less, I just say balls to her. Either he is gay in the books or he isn't. If she write some OTHER story, revealing that he is homosexual, then fine. Until then, I am going by the books, and sadly for her, the books say nothing about Dumbldore being gay. So... JK is wrong.

The other thing that started getting to me was how before the last book she was always so inanely mysterious about EVERYTHING. "Oh, Miss Rowling, will people eat chocolate in the last book?" "Oh just wait and see! Hur hur hur..." On and On. Please. Give me a freaking break. I really hope she can't come up with anymore stories about anything now. She's written her cannon, it's done, let's all just move on with our lives.

Oh, by the way: Harry is really a pedophile, and Ron was latent in his developlent because he played with his wand. Yeah, it's all true. She just didn't actually WRITE about those things because she is a dirty bastard. Oh the fan fiction...
