A term coined in the 2020s by streamer RTGame, a rowling refers to someone you genuinely don't want to mention because you're so disapointed to even say their name (unspeakable disapointment).
The term in essence is used when you do not wish to say someones name. This could be for a variety of reasons but is meant to be used when the reason comes from a negative light. Some such reasons being immeasurable disappointment in their actions, hatred for who they are or have become, or a complete wish to not show the respect of speaking of them by name, instead calling them a rowling.
The etymology of the term comes from Joanne "JK" Rowling, whom many don't even want to mention due to her awful values in accordance with transgender folks along with her racism and utter stupidity in going from beloved childrens author, to widely known terf and bigot. The term comes about in comparison to the character in her books Voldemort, who most do not want to mention by name because of their fear of him, or in another context because they do not believe his name deserves to be said. Joanne became a rowling when she decided to show her true self in all her bigotry, making people hate her, or so disappointed in her that they do not want to even say her name.

Gwendolyn: That rowling doesn't deserve to be mentioned by name after what she's done.

Get the Rowling mug.A horrible corporate ad-fuck of a magazine that has reviewers who know almost nothing about music. While sometimes they will give high ratings to albums that are worthy, they are often afraid to give shitty pop and pop-punk (Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan etc...) anything under 2 or 3 stars. WTF is that?!?! Not to mention all the crappy rap that they have the nerve to call "art" (not all rap is bad but you wouldn't know that from their reviews) They also take an MTV-esque whiny liberal stance in their politics section (I myself am a strong liberal but I find their articles extremely biased playing into Hollywood style "limousine liberalism")
In the end their just another glorifier (along with radio, the RIAA and MTV) of bad music in America.
Do yourself a favor and support Indie artists and those with actual talent, not top 40 pop/pop-puck/emo/rap songs.

I will say some Rolling Stone's music reviews are unbiased and dead-on, however the majority are complete bullshit.

Get the Rolling Stone mug.Related Words
The author behind the Harry Potter franchise. And if you are LGBT+, you'd likely know her as the women exploiting the community for diversity points yet refuses to explore the sexuality she claimed for her characters. Also known as the author going against the very own community she exploited by posting transphobic ideas.
Kaitlyn: Stop calling JK Rowling transphobic. She had a right to an opinion!
Laura: An opinion isn't an opinion if it discriminates another person. By that logic, we should excuse racism because it is just an "opinion" too. Also, if she genuinely had a problem, she would come with a solution instead of antagonizing an entire group of already oppressed people. Her women rights crap is just her trying to cover up her transphobia.
