Your outrage is meaningless. You're screaming into a void that either already agrees with you or doesn't give a shit.
I don't give a shit. Your argument is hollow and rings of hurt feeling and betrayal. Of the hundreds of upvotes most consume corprate media that funds worse people.
This isn't a noble grand stand, you're just butthurt and picked a popular target to hate. Manufactured transphobe Nickleback.
Thank you. Someone fucking gets it.
J.K. Rowling is a billionaire, think about that. She has access to a resources on a scale that is unimaginable to most people and uses those considerable resources to actively harm an entire group of people, transgender people, simply for being who they are. I know I am screaming into a void with this comment to you, but the fact that what J.K. Rowling does is standard issue capitalism does not make the feelings of the OP hollow.
You just proved my point. You aren't mad about the media. You're mad about who's become a billionaire off it but what you're trying to do is impotent at best and actively hurting your position from my more cynical perspective. But it's too late, she's already so rich your grand standing can't ever hope to achieve anything of measure.
Do something useful with your time instead of bitching about Nickleback as a popular catharsis. You're more likely to alienate people who could have been allies than achieve anything of merit (or even statistical significance)
Someone who thinks giving up Rowling is too big an ask was never an ally in any way that actually means anything..
Is your point that we should be mad at the media specifically? That would be a pretty stupid point
My point is this is as stupid as bitching about the newest Taylor Swift album. Possibly dumber.
These people have gone off the deep end. They have no rational analysis whatsoever. They’ve never once called for an organized boycott with specific objectives; everything is on an individual level and absolutely meaningless nonsense.
One of the worst parts about the whole thing is that they are so insane that they will call you a transphobe and worse if you disagree with what they’re doing. They go around telling people to kill themselves and similar if you engage with the media. Just bottom of the barrel ghouls.
You are the Harry potter fan telling us you don't give a shit. Did the comic offend you? Your argument rings of hurt and betrayal at the reflection of reality it serves you.
I don't give a shit. Your argument that were screaming into the void is hollow and rings of hurt feelings and acknowledgment of the hurt.
This isn't a noble grand stand. Yelling at us to defend billionaires who want genocide isn't a good place to be. You're just butthurt and picking a minority group to hate.
I'm actually not a fan I just make this argument for mostly music artist often. It's the classic separate the art and artist argument.
Pirate Rowling's shit like everything else or don't watch. Either way these memes screech. There's much in this world to be obsessively angry about and what you chose is dumb. There are over 3000 billionaires and this dumb bitch's rank on that list so fucking low
Actual fan or not. You're still in the shoes of the fan.
Support genocide or not these comments screech "I'm not responsible" despite the blood on your hands for your silent approval of it.. There's much in this world to be obsessively dismissive of and what you chose is dumb. There are over 3000 billionaires and this dumb bitchs part of that should not be dismissed so easily.
I suppose my argument is best summed up as you suck at picking battles.
Bitching about other people enjoying harry potter is as stupid as caring about people listening to Taylor Swift. They both have low billions. They don't matter, google the fucking Rothschilds and make a meme worth reading.
Surely you're not bringing up the Antisemitic conspiracy theories related to that family?
Hooold up. You're not suggesting JK is committing genocide are you?
Yupppp and yeh, she is wholly in support of it
That, quite frankly, is an absolutely ridiculous take and horrifically disrespecting to cultures and individuals who have been victims of actual genocide.
