Attacking people for liking Harry Potter is the epitome of pointless performative action. It does nothing to help with the root problem.
The root of the problem being people giving millions of moneys to bigots, which then use those money to hurt people.
There are other books written, by people who don't hurt anyone.
Just wait until you find out where some of your taxes are going then lmao
Seriously. Many people here don't seem to grasp the whole "no ethical consumption under capitalism" thing.
Are you sure? Maybe they are child abusers, or spousal abusers or tax frauds or so many other possible bad things. Can you really be sure that your approved author/actor/athlete/celeb isn't a bad person? Do you really know any of them to be positive? Or is it ok to like them so long as you don't know that they are bad people but it only becomes wrong if they are publicly outed as bad? I don't and won't do anything to financially support JKR now but I'm not going to burn any of my books by her.
I'm not attacking. But I will remind people of the money that the author will continue to get as her business grows and makes movie/tv/game deals. I won't attack someone for buying a Tesla, either, but will remind them that buying said Tesla funds a Nazi's wallet.
I sometimes get ChiFilA food. It's convenient, my family likes the food, and somewhat affordable. I also know what horrible people that own that company believe. I don't go nearly as much now, and attempt to dissuade my family from going there. Now Hobbly Lobby? Strict ban hammer on that shithole. So much fucking monsterous, vile shit from that place.
You shouldnt stay away from hobby lobby. Their LP may range from inept to nonexistent, but if you consider the regular discounts their prices cant be beat.
