I’m sorry, but Gen Z grandstanding concerning Harry Potter because of JK Rowling’s transphobia is fucking obnoxious. Do you guys like Dr. Seuss? Congrats, he was a wife-beater and racist. Do you like Elmo? Congrats, the voice actor was a pedophile.

The difference here is that Rowling is actively using profits from HP to fund hate groups and transphobic legal actions. Buying her merch concretely hurts trans people. Vs Seuss who is dead and unable to use the profits to fund racist legislative action or hate groups.

“Gen Z” like we’re the only ones doing it. Remember when hp was a pretty queer fandom? With, yanno, trans people who loved it? So it felt like betrayal in a way. And sue me for not wanting people I love hurt. Also, frankly, it’s not like jkr is at all special. There are plenty of artists whose work I stopped interacting with over similar issues, but jkr fans are the only ones getting mad at me about not wanting watch a movie or some shit. Go take a house quiz and stop acting righteous online

Take your pick. She literally started a TERF org that she funds with her royalties

And no one buys dr. Seuss as an adult, if even at all. No one buys Elmo stuff and if they did I doubt it goes to the VA. Like what the fuck is OP going on about
