Hello, multifandomspace! Let's have a talk about one of my favorite logical fallacies: the fallacy fallacy.
The fallacy fallacy, a.k.a. the fallacy from fallacy, is the mistake of assuming that because someone's argument is fallacious, their conclusion MUST be incorrect; that it is IMPOSSIBLE for this to ever happen:
For instance, if I were to argue that oil pipelines are bad because they disrupt the underground community of unicorns that forms the basis of my new-age religion - and that was my earnest argument, it wasn't a troll attempt to weaponize a religious freedom law - that's a bad argument, but it doesn't suddenly make oil pipelines GOOD. If I were to argue that you should support a certain marginalized group because it's trendy and makes you look good, dick move on my part, but that doesn't mean you should run out and join a hate group.
You with me so far? Cool.
So let's talk about the Bad Wizard Series.
Fact is, there ARE people who are approaching "drop the Bad Wizard Series" from a place of bad faith. A fallacious place. A place that involves smugness about knowing more about the evils in the world than you did at age 8, and overstatement of harm as if you PERSONALLY are paying the entirety of the asshole's checks. A place that is less about the actual, direct, tangible harm she is doing to marginalized communities - not just "harm" bastardized into a synonym for "making me feel a little sad and uncomfortable" but actually lobbying for new laws to make life materially harder for marginalized people in the UK, setting legal precedents and sending her talking points to politicians all over the world because she is so visible - than it is about the Bad Things in the books so You Should Have Known Better Even As A Kid And If You Didn't I'm Better Than You. Yes, there absolutely ARE people who are only making these claims for the feeling of superiority that comes from having a justified reason to hate something popular. I'd hazard a guess that they're probably more of a loud minority than anything, but to say that these arguments don't exist is naive at best.
But recall the fallacy fallacy: just because some people are being assholes with shitty reasoning about why, doesn't mean that continuing to give the BWS financial or cultural support ISN'T something that is being used to do active, tangible harm to marginalized communities - mostly but not exclusively trans people; note how ever since she went full-force asshole she's been sidling up with LOTS more far-right hate groups and BASING her latest works on ableist and antisemitic hatred rather than just having the stereotypes as a frustratingly common element through Standard Fantasy Tropes.
Furthermore, while the bad faith arguments do often rely on an implied overstatement of how much she personally earns from your individual purchases and continued engagement, saying "that's bullshit, I'm just a drop in the bucket" is arguably ALSO a case of the fallacy fallacy, because we are at a tipping point, poised to turn what was once a cultural mainstay synonymous with preteen-young teen fantasy into a LIABILITY. New films and spinoffs and merch lines are roughly as likely to flop as they are to succeed; if just a handful more people gave enough of a shit to find or create other magical worlds to redirect their passion to...
...what I'm saying is that you, personally, may not have ever given her more than a few cents, but you DO have the potential, a small but significant chance, to be the final nail in the coffin. Even if she, personally stays afloat thanks to the people who like her newer propaganda BECAUSE she's a bigot, demonstrating that her bigotry is hated enough to well and truly kill a cultural giant IS a massive blow to the ideology that did it.
In short: Just because some people are indeed smug assholes who only care about being justified in hating what's popular doesn't mean that it's suddenly not true that there's unique harm done by the BWS and it's really best for you and everyone around you to just - appreciate the friends you made in the fandom, try to continue to enjoy the good memories, and get the hell out.

lmao bbc news is literally putting up propoganda about how the uk is apparently handling the covid situation better than europe right now because they had less restrictions in early autumn so apparently everyone's immune now. they're literally THIS close to claiming that the uk's achieved "herd immunity"
(x)
#it's carefully worded but it just reads SO much like propoganda to me somehow#and maybe i'm reading too much into it. maybe letting us all be infected by the delta variant over the summer WAS a careful decision#planned ahead by our superior top scientists blah blah blah#but i just hate how smug they're being just because the uk happens to have less infections than the rest of europe right now#can't wait for it to suddenly flip JUST when i come back to the uk for christmas and to have to go into lockdown again#because it turns out the british government ARE just stupid after all
