I'm not giving up the books I bought decades ago and before she outed herself as an idiot.
I'm not stopping enjoying the stories that helped me to grow into the person I am today.
I'm not pretending that as a gay kid having a positive gay role model in Dumbledore wasn't a wonderful thing.
I am not giving her anymore money.
I am not supporting her an anyway.
You can hate a person's opinions and still love their art.
Its almost like everyone is human and capable of holding contradictory ideas.
While you’re keeping an open mind then You can also expand your options to include artists who don’t have to be an asshole.
Separate the artist from the art doesnt just have to happen if they are an asshole.
There’s like a plethora of magic school books and films and tv series especially circa 2012 onward to dig into by other artists trying to compete. Sounds like a perfect opportunity to give them a chance.
You gonna watch the new show?
No, obviously.
I'll probably watch the first couple episodes just out of curiousity. I'm already paying for the service. It's going to get watching by my family regardless. I'm getting outrage fatigue if I am being honest. It's just hard to care about anything these days.
Pirate it so it doesn’t show up on their dashboards as a view.
A hate-watch is still a view
Piracy = popularity. The big studios take torrent popularity as a metric these days. Even if you're not paying for the show, everyone seeding and downloading that torrent is being used as a sign by the industry that they should keep giving Rowling money which she, in turn, uses to harm people.
Pirating her content is still making her rich, while also granting her a deeper foothold in your own media environment, heart, and mind. You deserve better, and you can do better.
Torrents aren't the only form of piracy.
It's really not that hard to find something else to watch.
Great job moving the goalpost.
From where? That was my initial assertion.
All piracy is popularity.
It literally isn't.
