i don't consume any of it but mostly because they're bad and she's a bad writer, but being a transphobe certainly didn't help her case either

Some of the most ludicrous people I used to know are... very queer and proud, self describe as 'leftists', and are also mega Potterheads, all at the same time.

Everytime I'd mention that Rowling is a POS, I would literally be shushed, and mean mugged.

Ironically (or perhaps not?) one of these people would later be fired from their job for racial insensitivity.

???????

Cognitive dissonance is really something else.

Well buying used book does not give jkr one penny, watching dvd does not give and algorithm engagement, amd any old offline game will not either.

Mid ass books anyway. It was literally so easy to not engage with them and I fucking loved them as a kid.

I think all the attention y’all give to her is what’s keeping this in the cultural spotlight. I basically never think about her, or the books, until I see posts like these on the internet. We gotta separate the art from the artist.

STOP writing Harry Potter fanfic.

START writing 2 Rats fanfic.

I feel the same way. I don't understand why someone cant talk about Harry potter and still show support for pride month. I understand not buying things as cancel culture is logical if you are into that.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 6 points 3 weeks ago

Why are Harry Potter fans so uniquely unable to let go and find a better franchise to support? I know TRANS people that Joanne could apparently deadname them and spit in their face and they'd still spend every disposable dollar they have to buy HP games, merch, and go to the amusement park again.

Keep taking those tests to affirm you're still a Hufflepuff, I guess.
