For fuck’s sake… Rowling is an idiot and I totally disagree with her, but let’s not pretend she’s Hitler or something.

I hate these fabricated pearl clutching controversies.

So we all agree that if Hitler were profiting from a new HBO series, none of us would watch that. How far away from Hitler does one have to be to no longer warrant a boycott?

I think being an idiot doesn’t warrant this inane reaction.

She is not a criminal in any way shape or form.

How about people worry about not giving money to actual criminals like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, etc?

I mean she’s not just an idiot. She’s actively harming a group of vulnerable people. I’m not sure why it matters if it’s legal.

Are you incapable of doing both? What barriers do you think exist that people must overcome to not give any number of bigots money?

She funded a campaign that resulted in the loss of human rights for transgender people in the UK.

She is not an idiot, she is an actively harmful bigot that you are funding if you watch her shows.

J.K. Rowling uses personal wealth to fund anti-trans org

This is where "Harry Potter" profits are going.

What human right did transgender people lose on account of the campaign she funded?
