gwl [he/him]jkr sucks and anyone who tries to protect her or praise her works is stupid at best and malicious at worst (which are you?)
TheLeadenSeaI separate the art from the artist. I can enjoy the series without praising the author or contributing to her financially
I mean, can you? By consuming her work or anything related to it, you’re giving it clout which indirectly supports her.
How is me privately reading a book that I downloaded from a website for free giving anyone clout or supporting anyone financially? And anyway, why is JKR your specific hangup, surely most authors have some ethical controversy or another? I don’t have to perfectly agree with someone’s politics to enjoy their work.
Who said we only hate JKR? There’s plenty of deserved hatred of fascist authors to go around
