If there's one thing to thank anti hankcon discourse it's for the folks around their thirties gathering to tell the teens that they are, in fact, adult enough to decide for themselves who to fuck with and that they do, in fact, find older people attractive.
(And also collectively asking folks in their teens-to-early 20s to stop using the word p*dophilia when talking about literal 30+ years olds.)
Like really, throwing this words in relation to adults downplays its actual weight in its actual fucking meaning, and this is really scary. Age gap might be a controversial topic but not anywhere near it is a matter of comparable scale to what the word ped*philia stands for. Don't turn this word into a buzzword, I'm begging you.

"yeah that person who was very bitchy to you and pulled the At My Store/The Other One they ALWAYS do this and was really rude to you for a thing you literally didnt know and was never told left a bad review and said you were condescending so :)! Watch your tone! And how you speak!!"
I was fucking not. I told her I was pretty sure I couldn't do that on my end, and I was sorry. Sorry I didn't fawn at her feet and kiss her hands. People are mean to me and I will shut down as I say I'll call someone else to front which is what I attempted to do before YOU came along and she was happy as a plum

Honestly the funniest thing about Haruka's idol story line in y5 (and dont any of you come at me with the You're Lessening Mirei's Evil Heinous Actions shit, I know she was the antagonist, blah blah) is the fact that as far as traineeships go Haruka's.... wasn't all that unusual- Living on your own away from your parents? Par the course. Having older figures be unduly harsh about your talent/looks? Also par the course. Insane schedules? Creepy fans? Yep. In fact Haruka is older than a lot of people are when they start traineeships nowadays... Like that aspect of the game could have been played up for even more dramatic value than it was.

I'll say it as many times as it needs to be said. There is absolutely miniscule actual harm that comes from engaging with Harry Potter in 2024. JK Rowling does not need money. Anything sent her way is less than a rounding error. And the book series was literally EVERYWHERE in the 90s and 2000s. Like it or not, it DID impact a whole generation of people - pretending that never happened is completely absurd, if not outright irresponsible. It happened. It's just a fact. Harry Potter is mainstream. There is nothing that can be done to 'promote' it. It's already there.
What all this obsession with HP on tumblr is about? An easy way to smugly define Good People from Bad People. Because if you *really* cared about trans people enough, you'd hate everything associated with Harry Potter. Regardless of how much you adored it when you were 8 and went to Harry Potter parties with your family all dressed up quoting book lines at one another in your most precious childhood memories because for once your special interest actually aligned with the people closest to you. No, all those positive associations should have been deleted instantly. If you *cared enough*, it would just *happen*.
Which is why a whole slew of people who previously had earnestly reblogged posts about Moral OCD and how bad tumblr can be about it were suddenly cackling about how buying Hogwarts Legacy was comparable to *refusing to throw The One Ring into Mordor, starting a war that would kill millions.* And how donating to a pro-trans charity (an act that would have VASTLY more impact than aforementioned rounding error) is comparable to 'donating to a pro-elf charity' in the wake of that.
Because tumblr doesn't actually give a shit about autistics or OCD sufferers. When we complain about stuff that they also dislike, they proudly reblog that and rage in the notes about how selfish and cruel and Individualist those other people on tumblr are!!! But the *second* they get to paint themselves as the ones with '''''good thoughts and feelings'''''' they take it, and make up posts about how HP likers 'believe they're the main character and everything should revolve around them.'
Is it actually about whether something causes harm? Or is it about dividing the world into Inherently Good People and Inherently Bad People? Is it actually about doing real good for the community and making the world a better place? Or is it about shaming people with the Wrong Emotions until they fucking hate themselves and spend hours upon hours ruminating on end trying to change themselves because their inability to let go of positive Harry Potter feelings is OBVIOUSLY evidence of a truly inescapably evil and cruel and wretched identity that the world would be better off without?
Which is it, actually? When it actually feels a little bit good to feel like you're on the Right Side of all of this, for once?

If you don't reblog this post,
nothing will happen.
REBLOG THIS POST
to make no observable effect on the indifference of the fates.
If you like this post instead of reblogging it,
neither act shall be counted for or against your sins when your soul is weighed against Anubis' feather at the end of your life. The gods have ceased to check our homework, if they ever did at all.
The magic you carry within you is simple but real, as dangerous as it is essential: nothing matters until you decide it does. I will never know your face as well as I know my own. But I carry you in my heart as easy as breathing.

Is it just me or are the insufferable TERF blogs on this site all the same.
-minimalist blog theme and almost always in pastel colors, or it’s black with some ‘feminine’ pastel accent color
-skewed/biased/cherrypicked statistic from a single study that encourages fearmongering and demonizing an entire industry or gender
-bigoted response post
-bigoted response post
-bigoted response post
-anon hate that they laugh at and make some remark they think is catty/witty
-”oh god I’m so alone and my life sucks” vent post literally right after that
-cropped and edited picture of classical art
-cherrypicked quotes from outdated theorists
-posts about sexuality and female empowerment that would be considered extremely fetishizing if they were made by a cis straight man but it’s fine and definitely doesn’t make people deeply uncomfortable because they’re a woman
-sucking off JK Rowling’s metaphorical dick like they owe her money
