Ah, I was thinking if hypothetically the Girl Scouts themselves were a hate group. Although the evil Girl Scouts might still make worse cookies if this comic is anything to go by: medium.com/four-eyes-ca...

No need to be hypothetical. They aren't cookies, but Chik-Fil-A is right there.

Bigots would be like, "If you refuse to buy KKkookies, you're a baked good banner!"

I'm sorry to say that around book 5, I thought that the series was really going to go somewhere positive. But no, the happy ending is that Harry becomes a cop and nothing ever changes. 🤮

In particular, the boy scouts were heavily associated with the Mormon church for over a century, but in 2019 that partnership dissolved over the Boy Scouts of America organization allowing gay scouts/leaders, as well as trans youth and girls. So ~20% of the conservative participants left recently.

I like to mention pretending to remove milk from a coffee macchiato to illustrate this very point. ☕ Any sympathies I could have for the HP story in its own have long been displaced by the dark shadow cast by her author and the very real villain role she now portrays.

Even me can get behind not eating cookies in this scenario!

I am quite famously against book banning. But if a hate group somehow got the rights to my books and sold them as a fundraiser, I would urge you not to buy my books. That is not book banning, that is refusing to finance harm to others.

JKR's influence extends to the scout cookies too since girl scouts had to boot their transgirls and AMAB nonbinary scouts and put them in limbo with where they could go due to the Equality Act.
