    I like harry potter. There are people out there judging me for doing so. to that i say, fuck off.

    I am capable or separating art from the artist, something a lot of people really need to learn to do.

      Its not a matter of separating it from her. She isnt dead, shes still alive and consuming her work is kind of a passive endorsement. You know, sure she might be the figurehead of a movement that literally rejects transgender people from society, but thats not enough to give me pause in reading and enjoying her content.

      Do you think listening to Chris Brown is cool? What about Diddy? You know separating art from the artist and what not. Consuming art is apparently an entirely neutral activity with no real world implications or consequences, so surely being like “sure Diddy is a serial sexual abuser, but I just adore his music. I’m capable of separating art from the artist” is also entirely valid in your view.

        The art was made. The artist was paid. Then she came out as a twat. The damage is done and the proceeds from the franchise are mostly over, what with the books and movies being past tense. The only current, actionable issue is the TV show, which let’s face it, offers no value to viewers.

          Every time you buy a HP goodie, you stream a HP film, you buy a new HP book, you play Hogwarts Legacy, you finance transphobia. And every time you speak about her works positively, you help her stay relevant, and you make other people buy her works, so you indirectly finance transphobia.
