Understandable

Yeah okay, you are not being genuine. That much is clear now. This is a post about J. K. Rowling using profits from her IP to fund transphobia. People run in to defend the franchise, we try to explain how giving her money means more policies against us is bad, and then you object to that?

Ofc we are talking about HP in the HP post. Why would I talk about religion here? She gave a significant meaningful amount of money to fund hate against me, and she continues to be influential and use her and her IPs popularity to make peoples lives harder.

Why do you think I don’t speak up against any church or organization funding hate and bigotry? You are not being genuine.

No one is. This is an article about how she uses profits from the HP franchise to fund transphobia with people running in to the defend liking the franchise while completely ignoring the context of the post.

Edit: For reference, liking or not liking the franchise isn’t what the post is about, so running in to defend it is gonna be read as supporting funding the franchise.

No. I’m so tired of this. You can like the IP but you can’t spend a single dime on it without funding transphobia. That’s what we are talking about here.

Edit: The IP also should just die. Its popularity fuels hateful policies and attitudes against my existence.

Edit: This comment on it says it succinctly: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/26719393/14648789

Trauma via a cis man if I remember correctly. She fears men in general and fervently believes, despite the statistics, that trans women will put cis women at risk.

Edit: Probably also attention and money if other right wing grifters are anything to go by.

The very first comment is all about actively supporting J K Rowling with money, so this is not just about people talking about HP, but funding someone who is actively using their money and influence to harm us.

As others have mentioned publicity and support in general for HP is also bad, as it makes people more likely to buy HP merchandise. New shows, merch, and games are still being produced and sold. We aren’t shitting on HP for fun. We are telling people that this actually really and truly hurts us.
