The Verge is doubling down and it's a good one to read and share 👌

Especially to your cis folks who are still somehow arguing that it's possible to watch something that’s directly funding a worldwide fascist crusade against trans people without being a part of the problem.

@nileane I keep wondering if there were ever a scenario where JK would relinquish all profits from HP IP and have it go to a non-political charity — if she somehow isn’t directly tied to profits — would there ever even be a way to rehab HP? Not that she’d ever do that or even be willing to lose her crusade against Trans people

@skc @nileane right I mean that's your problem of course: there's really no way the premise will happen, so it's all a little moot :)

Most of society is also still apparently fine with HP, so I'm not sure how much it even needs ‘rehab'ing’.

Unless something dramatic happens HP has has such an impact I doubt it'll ever really go away, decades from now it'll probably end up something like Roald Dahl: People occasionally bring up the problems, mostly to rolled eyes.

@nileane well, that's the last cis trash talk I will accept. Once an ally, I will no longer accept being judged based on my gender or identify.

Have a good fight.

Show threadmarceline ⚢⚔9h ago
@shalien @nileane it's not "trash talk," they're literally just asking us not to support a billionaire transphobe. it's literally giving your money towards attacking trans people. if there was an otherwise inoffensive popular series owned by a white supremacist funding a racist movement it would also be unethical to watch it.

@shalien at this point does anyone believe the "I was once an ally" lie? We were not born yesterday. Fuck right off.

@nileane Yeah, no. Not in our house. We've explained to our pre-teen lad that the person who wrote Harry Potter is "problematic" because hating some groups of people and so we're avoiding supporting them at all. He's not too bothered about this so far.

@nileane question que je me pose : le piratage pour ce type de média est il un acte pro ou anti JKR ?
c'est une forme de validation et de "vol" de l'oeuvre en soi (consultation) mais sans pour autant offrir un marqueur de validation de sa créatrice auprès de plateformes qui pourraient marquer une forme de succès ...
étant moi même cis, je n'arrive pas à placer correctement le curseur.

@marud @nileane je vais laisser nileane répondre mais imo le mieux est de juste plus consommer du tout (pr te donner un exemple: pense a noir desir). après stv pirater c'est toi que ça regarde

@nileane The books are.... meh at best. The movies are _full_ of plot holes. This new series is going to be all the bad things of the movies, but worse because it's a reboot, as reboots are near universally worse than their originals.

Plus, JKR is a Nazi, TERF bitch.

I'm not even going to torrent the new series.
