I wish WB would’ve had the smarts & decency to buy her out of the HP franchise no matter the cost. Alongside DC it is arguably their biggest moneymaker and it’s such a coincidence that as soon as she got personally involved in making the movies, they started dipping in quality.

Also don't be like the maurauders fans. Making a fanon where all her characters are queer just to spite her does literally nothing. She doesn't care, she just sees engagement with her media

she's ALSO said she sleeps at night by wiping her tears with cash, so...

Fr Removing harry potter from my life changed literally nothing significant about it The laws jk advocates for and funds politically affect people's lives way more drastically, and in some cases it costs them it

trans lives are more important than italian brainrot and harry potter

Read ascendence of a bookworm, much better

Here's an inconvenient truth: you're helping nobody by playing pedantics we get mad at people playing Hogfarts Shartacy because she is LITERALLY USING THAT MONEY TO FUND TRANS GENOCIDE. there's no middle ground on this one sorry!!

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about

WE'RE immature because we want rights? fine then, I'll be immature. shut the fuck up, TERF.

She actively uses the money from Harry Potter to fund anti-trans legislations. Paying for Harry Potter stuff is, at this point, harming trans people.

Very true

true, sadly too many people don't care about the trans community as much as they should. But their validation isn't measured by these people. And more reason for those that do care to offer a helping hand and support when needed.

BASED

Always True!!!

Trans lives matter more than wizard fiction!!!

We gotta do things to Harry Potter fans

Still saddens me that the series I loved so much as a kid is used to actively make people’s lives worse because of some old hag with hatred in her nonexistent heart…

It isn't. Any consumption of that media supports it, and supports her, even if it's not monetary. All you're doing is telling people your nostalgia and your fandom is more important than trans people's safety. There is no grey area anymore.

FACTS! Happy Pride month! 🏳️‍⚧️

Just play Bloodborne instead.

Yeahhh!! Screw JK Rowling!!

what scares me more is some asshole is probably thinking of forming the knights of hogwarts right now

We’ll make our own magical school! With hookers and Black Jack! You know, what we don’t need school…

That was a wonderfully way to say that and you are 100% correct. Just let them destroy themselves, less work for us...

Belated reply: Thank you. I'm glad you think my theory has merit.

At least, that's my theory.

I can get that. There are work around for some stuff like that, so if you can... find a work around... if not then wait until there's a way (sometimes that is never and it sucks, so we're left to do nothing).

I understand the sentiment, but the story is full of so much implicit hatred and bigotry that it's better to just try and force an attitude change. It's ironically healthier to learn hatred for Harry Potter. It's not really something you can salvage, even after Rowling's death.

Need this as a bumper sticker

I'll make him pay for what he did to us.

Also: Harry Potter is incredibly generic and despite Rowling's desperate attempts to pretend otherwise, the Wizarding School genre and the various other tropes and pre-established visual aesthetics she pulled from in designing her setting do not belong to her

Flipping dyslexia I was so confused as to what a happy potter was

Color Inverted chip still have some charm :D

Still makes me uncomfortable. There are better ways to spend your time.

I think that that's fine, personally. Ultimately it's entirely about putting money in her pocket. If you do, you're hurting trans people. If you don't, you're fine in my book.

I wish people would stop bringing out the "Oh but Lovecraft fans" argument. Not only has Lovecraft been dead since 1937, he also died broke and most importantly, without using any of his wealth to actively harm groups he deigned worthy of scorn.

Finally, I want to sum up and make clear: Not an HP fan, never have, never will. I'm aware there are much better works to engage with. I didn't write the TV Tropes passage I linked. Just wanted to point out a specific faction of "ethical" fans, and ask about it from a neutral standpoint, that's all.

Lovecraft is dead and cannot direct a narrative around his work or profit from it. In this case, creating a niche for HP fans to feel good about still cultivating communities for it means that the narrative around HP is just being propped up by these less problematic takes on it. Not fighting it.

There is no excuse. Cut it out of your lives and grow up. There is no such thing of "ethical-fans." Trans lives matter more than a racist, sexist, transphobic book. As long as she is funding anti-trans policies in our country, then she is scum. (No hate to person I'm replying to)

If we redirect enough attention & make sure they understand that second hand or flying the jolly roger are the correct ways... we could steal the whole fandom away. Then that shriveled corpse wouldn't be relevant to thing they built. That would be hilarious~ I'ma continue not caring about HP tho.

I wanna make it clear that I'm NOT a HP fan, haven't been even as a child, and definitely won't engage with it now in any way. And I DO know that there are MUCH better works out there by I just want to point out that a SPECIFIC faction of "fanwork-only HP fans" and asking for opinions, that's all.

I remember a relevant quote from an Exclamation Point video (see image below), and I think its very clear that JK Rowling has crossed the line into the latter (NOTE: not saying JK is a Scientologist, but that her works directly fund harm in the world in a similar way buying Sci-backed media does)

This is true

Yes, two new mainline Percy Jackson books plus a nico/will spin off. I need to read the mainline ones (chalice of the gods and wrath of the triple goddess iirc) still but the sun and the star was great!

Harry Potter may be a good book and movie series but if supporting it is supporting trans genocide, it’s more important to boycott it! Let’s start with boycotting the hogwartz sections of universal studios

Classsic based Aari, you’ve done it again.

Human life will always be more important than any book, game or other piece of media.

Harry Potter? New or Old Testament Harry Potter? Doesnt matter trans people are real Harry Potter ain’t…🤔🤨

I opened up a brand new incognito tab in Chrome, googled JUST the term "ao3", and this is what popped up. A tag search is still a search.

trans rights

if you guys want a show about magic and some “nobody” meeting a bunch of things that they thought were mythical watch my inner demons instead :3 or any series honestly as long as it isn’t owned by that terf

this is a shirt now btw! chipflake-shop.fourthwall.com/en-eur/colle...

Since I remembered you saying this is also a switch release, apart from rpgs since I usually play those on consoles anyways, this is one reason to buy the switch two :3. Also happy pride, hope the game designing goes well ❤🏳️‍🌈

or large evil corporation edition , actively making everyone and the planets live worse, all the while sitting in a board room tiring their evil mustache

With all due respect, I don't think the HWL devs are donating the profits from the game to anything ruining tran's folks lives, unless you're talking about a different game

same

Thisss!

Can I repost it in Instagram? If so, do you have @ do credit you?

I get my spellcasting fix from Elder Scrolls, Castlevania, Bloodstained, Timespinner, Castle Crashers, and D&D/Baldur's Gate 3. :)

I don't see the appeal in this series of books/moveis, and you based your opinion on a srupid writer who doesn't even deserved half of her gains. #TransLivesMatter

Happy Pride! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Is there a version of this image which includes your name or handle? I would love to just have it saved on my phone and be able to use it as a reaction pic - but I don't want to use it without attribution

I love harry potter. But I hate the writer. So I just pirate Harry Potter content!

Was never a fan of Harry Pottor but yea I agree

That's why I started refunding anything Harry Potter related from my Steam library (even if it's just one game)

Yeah thats fair

Yeah! If you want a different, trans fantasy series to read instead, I recommend the Sir Callie series by Esme Symes-Smith (queer kids fighting bigotry with swords, magic & more, has a non-binary lead character, it's awesome!)

EVERY. TIME.

Trans lives are more important than Chick-fil-A.

I've never liked HP so I'm on board and lose nothing from it. But I do know the feeling of loving something a lot, and then the creators of it do something that makes you stop supporting it. Even though is sucks it feels SO much better to just let it go. There are more things in life to enjoy!

Fuck I'm liking my mother to believe that.

i love playing pinball, from the newest big release to the silliest of b-movie properties but the HP pinball machine has recently came out and that's one machine i'll never play

Faaaacts

*Real*

I'd say Rowling can eat shit but she's already obsessed with huffing her own farts.
