I hated Harry Potter before it was cool. Even before liberals made it cringe. It was cringe to me since the beginning, and only pretended to like it, as I noticed a lot of issues even back then as a child. Also I was a dark haired boy with glasses, go figure the rest!

Shaun did a looong (1h45min) video on what the works of Rowling says about her political views. Worth a watch.

I don’t need a reason to boycott the new series. It looks like it’s going to be shiite anyway.

We can pick and choose boycotts. I don’t see everyone boycotting goods from China and America. Some do. Let people pick without shaming them

Fond memories of reading the books as a kid, ordering the first books from England before they made all the dates for release the same.

All my books are thrown out and I don’t touch that shit even pirate stuff because fuck her.

Don’t let the G*mers see this

The Daily Tism

Just a few hours ago the social media algorithm gods decided to show me a video from an autistic woman who was basically saying exactly this. “Hey, my special interest is HP, but y’all need to understand that this isn’t a ‘Death of the Author’ situation, Rowling is literally funding anti-trans bigotry and we need to not be complicit in that. I don’t care if you pirate her stuff or buy second-hand or only read fanfiction, but don’t give her money.” Personally, I try to stay away even from secondhand consumption of her stuff because I just don’t care about it, and I think it’s at least best to avoid giving any positive or neutral (which to me includes any film/book review that isn’t primarily focused on highlighting Rowling’s bigotry, even if it’s largely negative on the storytelling, prose, or dialogue) attention to the media in her franchise, but I can understand some people have a much stronger attachment to it and want to minimise the harm they cause by continuing to watch through pirated means.

But it’s not really my place (as a cishet white dude) to say whether or not that’s the correct choice for other people to make, so I won’t judge any choice anyone makes that doesn’t involve giving her money through purchasing official products.

I would approach this from a different direction:

There is not nearly enough trans harrpy potter rule34 content out there. There needs to be a looooot more

Enjoyed the first four books when I was in middle school so prior to us knowing the author was a complete sack of shit. Haven’t interacted with the media since.
