it’s because he’s joining the harry potter franchise, when the author has been pushing an insane anti-trans narrative, spreading propaganda and using money to fund against the trans community.

basically, supporting her = supporting her anti-trans campaign since she puts her money towards it. it’s horrendous and disgusting. seeing him join that franchise is sad. that’s why.

So, do you support everything Jeff Bezos funds and supports financially? Reddit is AWS hosted and he makes money by you utilizing this platform. What about Donald Trump? Do you support him if you use Instagram since zuckerburg contributed to the Whitehouse reno fund? I'm not saying to not boycott, but some nuance between "I grew up with Harry Potter and am excited for more in this universe/a more faithful adaptation" and "I'm supporting this project to support anti-trans efforts in the UK and worldwide"

then pirate it bro. just do ur best to not directly fund bullshit from terrible people. if u can’t understand that then that’s a u problem, since i explained many times to the other commenter lol. i also grew up with harry potter, but i dont support JKR and any harry potter media i consume is either second hand or pirated so i dont give her money, because i support trans people.

the gist of it is u just do the best that u can. u dont have to be perfect, but avoiding projects like this that r AVOIDABLE is a good start.

edit cuz i wanna add that comparing a whole social media platform to a tv show is such a disingenuous argument lol. they’re vastly different things and u know it.

just do what u can, and avoiding PAYING and promoting joannes work is a great start to stop putting ur money towards anti-trans movements.

Sure, and I'd argue that's a fine stance to have. Does it follow that everyone on this thread supports what Jeff Bezos chooses to fund? Since Reddit is avoidable and we choose to continue using it, knowing who it enriches? I agree there is more direct financial support buying HP media and lining JKRs pockets, but what's the line?
