Paul CantrellKeeping money from going to the Harry Potter franchise isn’t just a symbolic gesture. It’s about preventing real harm to real people.

Arazil@inthehands Hot Take: Joanne hasn't produced a good story since 2000. The first few Harry Potter installments were kind of interesting but the series quickly devolved after the novelty factor wore off and some of her more problematic ideology started shining through. I have been able to sample some of the newer "Fantastic Beasts" films and... Boy are they terrible. This is one boycott that will be easy to for me to follow (especially since I stopped wanting to give her money and attention around a decade ago).
fnord99@arazil @inthehands maybe u are not the demographics she plans to tap into...that stuff is for kids like 8 to 12 yo...
✨buff dog himbo✨@fnord99 @arazil @inthehands even when I was a literal child I came to the same conclusion tbh. And anyway childrens media should not be shielded from legitimate artistic criticism just because people think children are too brain-dead to tell the difference between good & bad media. It turns out the "masses" of all ages are, which is why criticism can be useful & help consumers make better & more fulfilling choices about media instead of chugging down whatever slop is currently being pedaled.
