Laurie Penny in happier times

Laurie Penny, one of the sociopathic members of a media class that thinks it can just say anything about anyone, just got her karmic reward.

Rowling went on:

I have the self-awareness to know that however upsetting the death and rape threats your fellow activists throw at me are, there are literally billions of people suffering more than I am. You claim to be suffering PTSD because of *bad book reviews*

Bad reviews are part and parcel of being a writer. If they cause you equivalent trauma to being bombed out of your house or witnessing the murder of loved ones, maybe find a job where dishing it out, but not being able to take it, is a key requirement.
