"Well I WASN'T gonna watch the show about the deeply discriminatory wizard world that thinks slavery is cool and good with writing that constantly employs racist and homophobic and bigoted metaphors and language written by a violent transphobe who pals around with nazis that has stated multiple times that she considers all engagement with her work, ESPECIALLY monetary engagement (money that she uses millions upon millions of to fund discriminatory organizations and legislation by the way), to be validation of her views but you were kinda mean about it on tumblr so you've really twisted my arm here"

Man, people who:
-Hate Harry Potter but suck J.K's cock for her stupid tweets
-AND those who love HP but squirm at J.K's shitass opinions
Are both so goddamn retarded and spineless my god I cannot even BEGIN...

Richard Wagner was a pompous, antisemitic asshole, whom Adolf Hitler was a huge fan of.
But many classical music lovers still listen to/watch his operas today. 1) Even I have to admit they're quality works of art. 2) He's been dead for a couple hundred years. Nothing benefits him or goes into his wallet anymore.
Every moment you show support for any work of J. K. Rowling's is another moment of you agreeing with her. This is according to her, loud and proud publicly. Every cent you put toward any merchandise of her work goes into her pocket, from which she takes out large sums to fund anti trans legislations in the UK, to actively hurt innocent people.
Unless you've been living in a cave these past several years, by now, if you still see nothing wrong with engaging with the Harry Potter franchise, then you're an idiot, no way around it.

Harry Potter fans: It’s so hard not to buy Harry Potter merch and give money to a TERF! I just can’t let go of it, I love it too much!😭
Me, as soon as I heard the recent Rooster Teeth controversy: *actively stops buying official merch and looks for other ways to watch RWBY*

J.K. Rowling Is Not A Feminist | Xanderhal
So-called "White feminists" like JKR don't want equality for women, and they don't want to upset the patriarchy. They want to ensure white woman's current place in the white-dominated patriarchal hierarchy, and their assumed "right" to oppress those they view as being beneath them in that hierarchy.

Hot take: If you buy and stream Hogwarts Legacy, I don't care if you have a donation to Trevor Project or whatever, you're still signal boosting the terf creator and the game itself.
Paying indulgences to a good cause does not erase the bad.

Rowling and the game studio don't care about how much money charity gets. They only see their own sales.

Hey. Yes, you. Come here. Come. Listen close.
I’m going to blow your mind. Come. Listen.
I see you struggling, and I want to help you out:
you don’t have to stay in the Harry Potter fandom if you don’t like Harry Potter anymore.
I know! Crazy, right? Nobody’s keeping you from reading other books. And other fics. And generally spending your time doing something you actually like instead of continuously complaining about this one series and how badly written and damaging it is.
You are hereby officially freed from the shackles of Harry Potter, free to roam the world and find something you actually enjoy. Let yourself forget about this book. Go, thrive and be happy.

What is your Hogwarts house?
what about my account could possibly give you the impression that I give a shit about the terf mbti test. im in the house of "having good taste" "caring about trans women & jewish people" "not obsessing over a mediocre children's book written by a hateful bigot" "having gay sex with your mom" & other such swagful traits

It's really important to me people know that thought crimes are not real.
I saw a post and I wish I had responded because as is the nature of Tumblr you stay thinking about it and can't ever find that post again.
but any ways someone was asking I assume a trans person if it was okay that they pirated Harry Potter stuff and enjoyed it alone in their home without telling others or posting about it etc
which... stop asking for absolution from strangers on the internet? like if you feel bad about it, don't do it.
but the real issue was they not only said no it wasn't okay their logic was like.... even if you read it alone in your house somehow you're supporting J. K. Rowling and making her stronger and also the books have some kind of effect on your mind?
I'm begging people, Rowling is not the Dark Lord? I get you're still a hostage to her because it's STILL somehow the only book you've read but like... reading that copy of Harry Potter your grandma got you 20 years ago will not unleash dark energies that'll feed her evil witch power in her Scottish Castle? and also they're not... what are they called? horcruxes? you reading a problematic book will not corrupt you on a metaphysical level?
you should go read something else because Harry Potter isn't very good, go pirate Lord of the Rings or Dune or something, read something worthwhile, buy a book from an author who isn't a raging asshole who will spend your money on evil (so you know not Orson Scott Card)
I say all this as someone who's never seen a Harry Potter film, I didn't even read the last book, I have no idea how it ends? does Dumbledore come back? no idea and don't care. I thought everyone being hung up on those not very good books was mad for years. But like bad books, problematic books, books by shitty terrible people (hello Roald Dahl, HP Lovecraft) are not objects of power, you reading them alone does not empower the bad person, you have to do things in public to do that, opening a book you already own and reading it has no wider effect. And while you can be effected by what you read (well not Harry Potter because again not very good) it's not radiation, it won't seep off the page into your soul.

I remember back in the 2000s when J.K Rowling was accused of having done a pact with the devil to help her write her books and idk man... One would think the devil would've help her write some better shit 😭💀

Fucking heartbreaking every time I have to unfollow an artist whose work I highly enjoy on social media when it turns out they're [still] a Harry Potter fan.

The only social media platform I've been able to cultivate exactly the way I like it is tumblr. Everything else is misery and pain and annoyance. I posted about the Spanish books I'm reading on a discord server I'm in, and some nutsack changed the subject to talk about the new French Harry Potter covers.
