There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

JK Rowling’s transphobia casts and inescapable shadow over the new Harry Potter adaptation.

The Verge
@verge there is no unethical consumption of anything

@dm29 @verge Did you mean to say "unethical" or "ethical"?

Many things are much more ethical to consume than others. That's why consumer choice based on a set of values and being informed matters.

@jaredwhite @verge in my opinion nothing can be unethical to consume. Granted the viewer understands the implications and context of the content. I agree: being informed is the key.
@dm29 @jaredwhite @verge So you think watching kiddie porn is ethical?
@ariaflame @jaredwhite @verge we are talking about public and commercial content here
@dm29 @jaredwhite @verge You didn't specify that. You said no consumption could be unethical.
@ariaflame @jaredwhite @verge the conversation revolves around The Verge's article.
@dm29 @jaredwhite @verge You expanded it beyond that.
@ariaflame @jaredwhite @verge maybe you did. I'm just talking about common movies, books, series et cetera
@dm29 @jaredwhite @verge But beyond the scope of the verge article on a particular series where the person profiting from it is using those profits to target other people and hurt them. So if you give money to that then you are choosing to hurt those people. Personally I find that unethical. But you claim there is no unethical consumption. But I guess I have a more developed sense of ethics.
@ariaflame @dm29 @jaredwhite @verge you're quite surely typing from a device manufactured under work-force exploiting conditions and you're likely to own clothes manufactured through child labor somewhere in Bangladesh.
Not to mention the implications of electronics waste disposal in some poor African countries, spreading cancer through the local population.
Is that ethical for you? Where do you draw the line exactly ? And why is your line more ethical than someone else's?
