Accountability

Lord Robert Unanue, 2nd Earl of Idiotas joins Her Ladyship, the Duchess J.K. Rowling of Upper Scullery and Lower Treebog as the latest in a line of fully grown, adult as fuck people who missed the accountability conversation.

They each said some things recently that were diametrically opposed to the sentiments and concerns of the group of people who give them money and are now crying “suppression” because the people who used to give them money (fans, purchasing public) are making their choices with their wallets.

Now, I understand that individuals as monied as these are unaccustomed to being held to account, but the truth is that Rowling is as common as the commonest yank and so is Unanue.

Also, the accountability conversation is a conversation one has with a 5-year-old, not people who ride the cusp between last-wave Boomers and first-wave Gen-X.

Simply put, these people want to say what they want to say (no prob, go to town) and then, regardless of the “had a bad curry last night” diarrhea that comes out of their mouths, they are demanding - yes, demanding - that we continue to love them the same and throw our cash at them the same.

I have a little ditty by which I live and write.

Make your choices.
Own their outcomes.
Never ask permission.

They didn’t ask permission for what they said. No problem, totes cool.

They made their choices. No problem, totes cool.

But now they don’t want to own their outcomes, and for that the two of them can fuck aaaaalllll the way off.
