there’s so much potential in the universe as well for original IP, and they already saw the fantastic beasts movies turn a good profit. don’t get why they’re doing the original series again

Yea he’s weird, and your assumption is weird too. We just had a productive conversation, so where do you find me supporting that? Can people not separate art from the artist? If anyone enjoys Harry Potter, does that make them transphobic? I personally don’t care about Jk Rowling nor trans people because it doesn’t affect me either way.

No I called him weird for that dumb image he sent mocking me upvoting someone else’s post. I don’t have to care about Jk Rowling for me to not agree with her stance, nor do I have to care about trans people because it doesn’t mean anything to me. I see the connection you’re making between racism and transphobia, no one isn’t better than the other but one potentially affects me more. Just as there are people who acknowledge racism but do nothing to change it, I can acknowledge that there is

I upvoted a guy with -19 votes to attempt keeping that post up because post get deleted with too much negative votes. That person is entitled to their opinion, why should it be silenced because people don’t like it? I can empathize with them but I won’t do much else so what’s the point? Cause without action is meaningless. If liking Harry Potter is liking JK Rowling, then you like her too.

Okay she’s weird, so what? I don’t have to agree with her if I like Harry Potter.

This is how she’s described in the books, if anything, this is more accurate than the original movies. However, it doesn’t make sense since they didn’t meet until Hogwarts

1

I hate when JK Rowling says stuff like that. It’s incredibly obvious that she’s just trying to get attention and brownie points. If she really was trying to represent a POC then she would’ve clarified their race in the book. You can’t after writing the whole series say “oh yeah this character could be black”, like that doesn’t count

This maybe the worst possible choice to race swap lol. This is going to look so bad when Harry says he doesn’t trust snape because he looks suspicious. And when James bullies snape and uses a rope to tie him to a tree

So is the one they turned black. You don’t understand what I’m saying. This is not only insulting to white people. It’s insulting to black people as well. You turn main characters black instead of making new characters that are black and you’re telling black people they’re not good enough to have their own characters. Literally like what happened to stuff like Princess and the frog. It’s so simple. Stop shoving white ppl aside for representation. Just make new important characters

You ever notice how every show/movie where they change white characters to be black sucks ass? And movies with original black characters are usually really good?

Is there some rule against introducing new characters in reboots? Bc if so I think a lot of shows broke that rule. Frasier for example. He introduced like 5-6 new people to the reboot, including 2 black people

One could argue it’s ridiculous to care this much about someone else’s opinion on a tv show but here we are. My point wasn’t just specific to this show. You’d have to be a moron not to see it’s happening everywhere. Little mermaid, how to train your dragon, Snow White, etc. people are obsessed with erasing white main characters. They don’t give a damn about POC. If they did they’d make new characters. They just want to look inclusive so more idiots give them their money

Out of curiosity, why is she a hero in your eyes? I feel like “hero” is a strong word.

Okay you need to take a melatonin or smth dawg Do not equate JK Rowling to the KKK, you look like a fucking lunatic, sincerely a black trans person. (But seriously transphobia is a relatively new issue that has much less historical baggage, you do not get to just say the KKK is on the same level as a nasty tweet. Thats fucking psychotic. This is DiGiovanni ass behavior.)

4

So I didn’t do that but thanks for the downvote. All I’m asking is for you to not equate the KKK to any of JK Rowling’s actions. She is a miserable hateful person whose actions are causing hate to prosper in the world. The KKK is a widespread still active organization of white supremacists who still murder minorities to this day. One is a worse evil than the other and it isn’t the twitter warrior white lady with some money.

3

I. Am. Not. Saying. That. You keep telling me I don’t think her actions are serious. You’re pissing me off. I think her actions are quite severe. NOT AS SEVERE AS THE FUCKING KKK. She has not MURDERED PEOPLE. She is not as important to villainize as the fucking KKK. White people are so fucking annoying, y’all will do anything to minimize minorities.

Okay, you’re just a white supremacist. Heard. Keep yourself safe.

You’re a white supremacist because you sincerely believe that modern policy change is worse than the historical impact of the fucking KKK and the immense impact on policy they have had. You’re ignorant and hateful. Yes you should educate yourself and reassess your reality.

What policy kills trans people. I have no dog in the fight, I just wanna know what y’all are talking about.

I have clarified what I was saying twice now so don’t try walking this shit back now. You already put these words in my mouth. So put this black man in his place and tell him how much more important your problems are than his. Go on.

So I guess show me how redlining affects the suicide rates of black men and women and then get back to me. Just to name one example. We have bigger struggles than you. You should learn a lil something called intersectionality before you start hollering that trans issues are more important than black issues.

They do describe her as pale multiple times, which JK Rowling apparently forgot about when she tweeted that she never said what race Hermione was. Maybe she intended for Hermione to be a pale Japanese girl. The race swap isn’t important, but it is still a race swap.

Its pretty easy to start finding trans people “different and unusual” when you make it look like our entire community supports the erasure od the impact of black history and culture on this country. But thats okay because you put BLM in your twitter bio for six months, so you did your part. Now white people don’t have to give a fuck because its trans people’s turn to be oppressed. Like thats how it fucking works.
