@violent_grimes @Aaidanbird I tend to disagree. It is not like you should use a lot of energy, but give a little hint here and there for those that have missed it because they weren't that active in social media at the time and those that forgot about it but developed interests in those things is a good thing.

@Aaidanbird I speak up against JKR and HP. I cherish people regardless of their gender, sexual preferences and {religion, skin color, descent}. I do however discriminate on political views: those who exclude people and are intolerant twds e.g. refugees, can count on my intolerance (Popper).

@Aaidanbird I was disappointed to see my kids school had their year all doing literature reviews of the Philosophers Stone this past term 😬

@Aaidanbird I remember being a child and waiting outside the bookshop at midnight to get whatever HP book was coming out, and devouring it that same day. Does it suck to put all that away? A little. But it’s obviously the right choice. And also, I’m a fucking adult and can find other things to read and watch that maybe bring me more meaning and complexity than a series written for children? No one is depriving themselves by ignoring HP. Promise, there’s a ton of incredible writing out there waiting for you. Writing that doesn’t fund genocidal weirdos’ hateful campaigns.

@xogium @Aaidanbird There are Reasons why an actor takes whatever job they take. At worst it was that or starving. Even if the actor is able to pay their rent without taking a job, it's still just a job and they aren't paid to become "the quota trans" (or whatever) of the production.

@xogium This has nothing to do with my post. I'm asking folks to divest and boycott JK Rowling due to her anti-trans crusade. Stop moving the goalposts. Thanks.

@Aaidanbird LotR fandom is an easy switch. Tolkien was racist but at least he's dead and can't hurt anyone.

@Aaidanbird Is that not a bit too black and white? Could you not love the art but hate the artist at the same time? Liking fictional or real persons does not exclude each other If you already paid for it why boycotting it? The artist would not get any more if you already have a physical copy anyway. The best way is to reduce consumption (buying actively new stuff) and convincing people to reduce consumption, small steps People only listen to you if you also listen to them
