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 I was midway through typing https://mastodon.social/@glyph/116297462419011907 when I saw this, and hopefully it covers that. Definitely not telling you to make space in your life for people who are adorning themselves in hate symbols for you

@glyph I'm just not sympathetic. it's been years that people have known JKR's a terf and that supporting her work hurts trans people. If that doesn't get you off the series, or at least stopping talking about it publicly (which is generally what these conversations turn on), then yes I think you should get hate for it. get better. find something else to build your identity on. many of us already have!
