You can’t separate the art from the artist anymore, your engagement is funding this and trans lives are more important than some books and movies

only buy the books when they’re used since she won’t gain income from you buying used books of hers. movies just don’t watch. same with when the show comes out, it’s still harry potter so don’t watch it

I loved the books and movies as a kid but now I couldn’t even enjoy them if it WAS harmless to engage with her stuff. She’s left a sour taste in all things Harry Potter for me

“Separate art from the artist” is a load of shit btw, an artist’s values directly influence the art that they make, especially in a medium like writing novels

Hot take (?): people who are ok with separating the art from the artist don’t truly care about why we shouldn’t be partaking in those peoples art because if they did, they wouldn’t wanna support anymore even if it was hard. I loved Harry Potter everything but I’ve now hung up the robe even though it hurts to have done. 🤷‍♀️

i used to watch the movies with my mom before she passed when i was a kid and i didn’t get into the books until about 13. because of my mom i can’t hate the series. i’ll only read the books if i use my aunts copies and i wont watch the movies anymore on streaming. i’ll see clips on tiktok or find somewhere to pirate. i wont give that woman a cent of my money so she can just use it against us and me

You did not deserve all those downvotes. So many queer people fell in love with the series before any of this happened

She was shitty from the start. No original ideas, awful racism and ableism, retroactive queerbaiting, and now actively setting out to harm as many as she can. There’s no excuse. She needs to be left behind entirely.

the reason I loved the Harry Potter series was for the JIM DALE audiobooks specifically. The only way I enjoy Harry Potter content is through DVDs I’ve owned since forever and pirating the Jim Dale audiobooks. I go out of my way to make sure this bitch makes no money

And I will full heartedly admit I was a die hard HP fan who was SUPER happy a WOMAN created something that garnered so much love and attention but it all came crumbling down when I found out who she truly was. So yeah it hurts me for more than a couple reasons but the pain is worth it if all she’s done to hurt others can be defeated one day. She will not be remembered kindly.

you know, i used to listen to mindless self indulgence a lot with my best friend before he took his own life. i stopped listening to it the second i learned the lead singer is a massive pedophile. can’t even look at it in a positive or nostalgic light anymore. the person i was listening to it with would be so strongly against what the lead singer did too. it is 100% possible to appreciate memories without supporting awful people

It actually does mean you’re supporting them because they still get money from it and it’s time to move on.

“i can excuse child rape, but sexism is where i draw the line” lmao are you aware that the MSI singer forced a 15 year old girl to dress and act like a baby for sex and sexual photos? because i can’t even listen to an intro of theirs without thinking about what was done to that child. it’s not about moral superiority, it’s about having a normally functioning brain that tells me it’s not okay to support child rapists.

just wanted to add that by continuing to listen to the music of people who have done horrible shit, you are telling that person “it does not matter how bad of a thing you to, you will still have people who listen to you and will pay your bills.” it completely absolves responsibility on their behalf and teaches already massively out of touch people that it’s okay to act that way with no consequences
