Probably reality hitting him. From the text chain he had you could see he thought he was easily going to get away with it and never get caught. Probably realizing it's the death penalty or life in prison. Threw away all his freedom after a week of planning. Entire life essentially over at such a young age.
They (the creators) are trapped because the specific nature of the "beef" with JK is basically sexual in nature yet HP is an IP revolving around CHILDREN. So it's really hard to inject LGBTQRSBBQ stuff into HP because in order to show it you gotta have kids boinking kids (well, hopefully its the kids boinking each other, not the teachers shaboinking the kids). Plus the IP has a strong family/birthright lineage that, naturally, makes cishet relationships kinda critical.
But no way in hell should that stuff ever intrude into HP, leave that to The Magicians or some sort of The Boys level adult parody.

Ya. Bad timing. It was going to be such a clear cut conservative win until Trump started ragging on about tariffs. The the left caught on and got the entire country to be anti-tariff which meant anti-right.
Too late for that. I have the same discussions IRL with people.
Well, what was the solution?
Remigration.
It's supposedly "too late for that".
Cull the bots, for starters.
Yup. Not only did she write one of the greatest series ever, but she has also been an absolute savage when defending women's rights. All women, young and old, should be looking up to her. She does not back down and doubles down when they come at her with even more bullshit. How can you not respect the ever-living hell out of that?
It was one party the whole time. Two different levers dropped the same mechanism.
Many people are still trying to confirm their biases. The ones who are in denial are the ones who think the truth requires their belief. It's not surprising considering the amount of cognitive dissonance required to sincerely celebrate murder.
Based on what? The government hasn't done anything to anyone regardless of how disgusting their opinions are. The free market is creating repercussions for their actions.
I'm going by what Pam Bondi Stephen Miller said, that the Government will go after people who take part in hate speech.
Not exactly a solution if everyone has been saying that for 10+ years.
LOL. How touching. And nice save. I guess you get to keep you job. For now...
How was describing the messages as 'very touching' even conceivably an attempt to do what he suggests he was trying to do in this apology?
Had he lived in the 40s he would have describe Hitler lovingly sacrifice his life alongside Eva Braun.

Compulsory voting. Making voting easy and even give people some little reward for it. Properly address the carrot and stick of voting so it doesn't all come down to scaring people half to death to make them line up to vote.
What happened to the left is now happening to the right. I don't think it's cause for celebration, personally
Man I really cannot agree this is the same. There's old tweets from people teenage years a decade or two ago, and there's praising / justifying / celebrating a cold blooded murder of a man for Christian views a week ago. Losing a job over the latter just isn't the same as the former IMO.
I have been thinking a lot about this. I'm a big fan of all of the Bill of Rights and therefore do not want some type of insane ban on speech. But we can limit the damage of social media without being this draconian.
It's not really equivalent. The original "cancellations" had to do with digging up ten year jokes on Twitter that people were finding reason to be outraged about. Going on a witch hunt through people's entire past to find something to point your finger at is absurd and would end up with everyone having something to not be proud of, including those doing the hunting.
But the celebration in #2 encourages folk to commit more of #1. The sad fact is NOTORIETY is as acceptable to some people as FAME, so if they can gain the former through atrocities they will go for it.
It comes from seeing 2 and believing it will lead to 1 for someone else. This obviously being less of a concern following someone dying from sleep apnea than in the immediate aftermath of someone being assassinated. The sleep apnea isn't going to be motivated to kill other people following widespread approval.
