this is one of the BIGGEST franchises we consider transphobic and also racist. why do you want SO BADLY to engage with the art of a person who hates people like you? grow a spine! i would rather never see a harry potter movie ever again.

HP was escapism for me as a queer kid too, but growing up means understanding you CANNOT appreciate the art without supporting the artist and their cause.

“But you can pirate or get it secondhand”- just stop! The nostalgia is not worth people being killed off.

It’s still platforming her work and can contribute to her continuing to get more royalties from those who choose to engage monetarily when they see resurgences.

Who’s watching it pirated and the going to buy the real thing? How does someone getting a book or merch secondhand at a thrift shop platform her work or lead other people to engage monetarily? These options don’t contribute to her getting royalties to the extent you seem to think they do. Our main focus should be on people actively financially supporting her, not yelling at the people who are going out of their way to not support her

She shouldn’t have any platforming or engagement at all. There are still people doing secondhand shopping that gets people to think about it and then just buy outright for convenience. The nostalgia is not worth it. It’s time to leave her behind.

piracy maintains the cultural relevancy of a work and contributes to business decisions that actively line her pockets (ex. spin-offs, the new tv show, etc). beyond that, if i as a trans person see someone with hp merch it makes me uncomfortable. i dont care/know if it’s secondhand, i know someone is promoting a franchise which funds trans genocide.

the absolute worst is vendors at pride who are clearly just selling dropshipped bullshit. is JKR directly profiting of that? probably not. does it tell me that while i’m in a queer space that trans people’s comfort is not considered, or that if it is, it is subordinate to profit? yeah. loud and fucking clear.
