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.

@verge Well I mean, every means, that's why bittorrent and many alternative exist.

And that's very ethical in such cases.

@webshinra @verge no, actually, putting terf shit in your brain is not ethical

@t54r4n1 @verge On the second part: putting anything I want in my brain is my choice, the alternative is pretty ugly.

Secondly, Harry Potter as books where not terf shit, and (probably non-volontary) say some encouraging stuff about self détermination.

I won't presume what will be done next, but the horrible person the author have become does not change retrospectively the stuff she wrote before.

@t54r4n1 @verge (to be clear, I'm not interested, as I read HP with pleasure like in 2004, and have grown away from it since.)

@t54r4n1 I did that, and saw that (the antisemitism is arguable, the happy slave not) and many other stuff, thanks. I would not recommand my nephew to read those, and for reason far worse in my eyes than those two points.

So please, don't tell my what media is ethical to watch, which is a very different point than contributing to their economy/popularity.
