Yah but was she paid for it? Or will she receive money for it?

Fuck that noise, may all her works and resulting ventures come up penniless and be forgotten

yes, she's involved in the production and will definitely profit from it

Being a producer is more than just "involved".

At a press event last year, Bloys told reporters that Rowling was “very, very involved in the process selecting” showrunner Francesca Gardiner and director Mark Mylod to lead the charge on the “Harry Potter” TV series.

yeah, she's not just a producer, even - it's fair to say she's very involved 😅

How much money are anti-trans bigots supposed to have?

[–] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If I'm being generous? Enough to provide themselves with food, clothes, and shelter, and that's about it.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That seems really generous.

[–] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Unlike them, I don't believe in killing people just because of their belief systems or who they are. That said, I think food/clothing/shelter should be the baseline that every person gets, so I want them at my idea of zero.

They deserve nothing. They wish to rob us of our dignity. I say we rob them of theirs.
