But I'm a Huffledore and that's my whole personality!! 😭

i don't consume any of it but mostly because they're bad and she's a bad writer, but being a transphobe certainly didn't help her case either

Some of the most ludicrous people I used to know are... very queer and proud, self describe as 'leftists', and are also mega Potterheads, all at the same time.

Everytime I'd mention that Rowling is a POS, I would literally be shushed, and mean mugged.

Ironically (or perhaps not?) one of these people would later be fired from their job for racial insensitivity.

???????

Cognitive dissonance is really something else.

So weird considering they are literally novels for children lol...

These are the kind of people who are in their 30s and still make instagram posts, and frequently say in real life, 'I'm done adulting today.'

Oh right, even crazier, one of them was also a nurse and a covid skeptic... again all at the same time.

Have you considered Redwall. BJ is dead so he can't be pressured by the Anglican Church. I'm not excusing RJ, but the Anglican church is pretty fucking brutal in the UK anytime they get remotely threatened.

Also Redwall is fire as fuck.

Well buying used book does not give jkr one penny, watching dvd does not give and algorithm engagement, amd any old offline game will not either.

I think all the attention y’all give to her is what’s keeping this in the cultural spotlight. I basically never think about her, or the books, until I see posts like these on the internet. We gotta separate the art from the artist.

Normally I’d agree, but Harry Potter is already huge.

And while I think this whole response is a bit extreme, it is a case of her source of wealth being way more famous than herself.

Why are Harry Potter fans so uniquely unable to let go and find a better franchise to support? I know TRANS people that Joanne could apparently deadname them and spit in their face and they'd still spend every disposable dollar they have to buy HP games, merch, and go to the amusement park again.

Keep taking those tests to affirm you're still a Hufflepuff, I guess.

[–] comrade19@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I feel the same way. I don't understand why someone cant talk about Harry potter and still show support for pride month. I understand not buying things as cancel culture is logical if you are into that.
