It's hard to think of anyone who has utterly disappointed and disgusted more people with her statements and beliefs than Rowling.

7. Hardcore TERFer who helped tarnish Richard Dawkins' reputation

He tried to defend her and it was a big fail. He then added some of his own views on the subject and that was a double fail. What a mess. I put a lot of the blame on the Murdoch syndicate because they've created so much hatred and bigotry. Mainstreamed it really.
