You’re telling me to be mad at the system I’m stuck in rather than ask people to not financially support hate speech.
If circlejerking in hufflepuff, magical creature slavery and using magic to disappear your poop is that important to you I can’t help.
You are so convinced you are correct that it genuinely makes me wonder why you posted an opinion.
You can’t easily change what you enjoy, I would take what you like from it and explore other similar properties. If hp is something that has special meaning to you i get it, I would just hope you don’t support the creator.
So instead of telling people they shouldn’t directly give money to bigots i should just be angry at capitalism in general because it enables bigots.
No.
There is a new show because people asked for it, it’s gonna make her money because there will be new merch, subscription money, and renewed interest in the books from new people exposed to the show.
It isn’t a magic money machine it’s the market and people saying let people enjoy things are enabling others to think that this new batch of terf powered hog wash is acceptable and it will make the lives of an already marginalized group harder.
To be clear i hate the system I’m stuck in, and had i the power to stop the genocide i would, in the meantime I’m telling you she has stated unequivocally that all the money she makes off the harry potter series will be put into her organization that is on a crusade to eliminate trans people. If you give her money by buying merch, watching her show, drawing fanart even, you are giving her attention and that can lead to others saying oh it’s okay to like this thing and that gets her more power money and influence. There is no ethical consumption but this is a hard line I will not intentionally consume something that has a direct line to hurting people, saying it’s impossible to do good is a fucking weak excuse to not try.
Idk your situation but if you support harry potter after all the heinous shit jk has said she has and will do we are not and never will be friends, you are voting with your dollars to hurt people.
I had the same moment but i craved greek yogurt with raisins and honey it was so worth it.
Saying being class conscious is throwing the trans community under the bus is the nastiest thing you have said yet.
