I guess moderation is the theme of the day, so, here goes another one: denying resources to JK Rowling is unequivocally a good thing. Being personally vicious to people who like Harry Potter—particularly if they are already mourning its destruction and AREN'T giving JKR any money—is performative bullshit.

Personally I never liked the series much; I fell off entirely around book 4. But I know *several* trans people that the story still resonates with. They don't need you to tell them JKR sucks.

@glyph those books are dogshit and I do not particularly see the value in coddling self-hating trans people, or cis people who haven't moved on from the terrible wizard books.

I got better more than a decade ago. skill issue.

@lunemercove @glyph but you understand that not everybody agrees with your opinion, and that the books are personally important to a lot of people, right?
@Amoshias I'm not required to respect dogshit opinions. there are so many better books out there than the wizard series full of racism, transphobia, antisemitism, and classism.
@Amoshias try reading the post you replied to about how I used to like those books before jumping to lecture a trans women about Just Letting People Enjoy Things.
