Here's an honest question. Are we allowed to buy Harry Potter stuff after JKR is dead, since she won't get paychecks from it anymore?
I don't but it now, think I missed the hype train by being too old when it hit it's hype.
But the biggest issue is JKR getting the money not the franchise? Or am I missing something where the franchise and license owners are also anti-trans?
I can't keep up with everything, but I know Harry Potter is getting a lot of hate and I'm out of the loop besides JKR just being a cunt on social media.
If she owns the rights she could theoretically put something in her will that states x% of proceeds from her intellectual properties will go to [insert TERF organization here]. Considering she's made it her life goal to make society as inaccessible to trans people as possible, I assume she'll make sure she can do so in death as well.
So she's well beyond just commenting and is funding things that hurt the trans community?
I should Google more.
Yup. Just one of her purchases put about 70,000 pounds Stirling in the hands of the lawyers that got gender recognition certificates rendered moot in the UK supreme court. Thats the landmark ruling that has since allowed bathroom, locker room , gym and sport single sex policing completely legitimate by UK authorities and forced "transgender row" in prisons to send trans prisoners to institutions of their birth sex.
She does a lot more with her money than that but that was her single biggest win so far.
She has publicly stated that she considers purchasing or consuming Harry Potter stuff as support for her ideology, and she donates a portion of what she makes off of it to political organizations that include right-wing Christian extremist groups.
She was also involved in the bullshit Cass report. She's a monster.
Wouldn’t it be better, sir, to make seven wills?
Yeah, pretty much. No one is gonna give you shit for reading H.P. Lovecraft.
Well, unless you're being weird about it
I mean... You're allowed to buy it now, whether or not you choose to do so
Steal it instead!
The deep sees are calling.
If you really want that unoriginal fantasy slop so bad just pirate it. No point in giving any money to a transphobe, alive or to her estate.
Funny you mention it, because I was thinking of going back and reading all the Dilbert strips I missed out on after Scott Adams went mask-off racist. Am I allowed?
(edit: LOL, looks like a moot point, I tried going there just now and the server doesn't seem to be running)
Nobody is stopping you but be warned 90% of Dilbert is utter crap, might be entertaining to a child, some weird child who works in a cubicle or something.
