They're hoping that someone can enjoy one single thing in their life without being told they're a garbage human being for supporting "X", or who didn't do "Y", or who is related to/was roommates with/worked with over the Z years the author(s) were alive.

It's like 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon except somebody somewhere thinks someone involved is a POS, and now you are too for liking it.

Rowling is alive and very active, though. This isn't a tenous connection by way of vague association, the author in question is (1) alive, (2) profits from buying their shit and (3) uses that money to make the world worse.
