Commtitle is slightly misleading, any microblog screenshots are allowed as per the sidebar.

Some of the most ludicrous people I used to know are... very queer and proud, self describe as 'leftists', and are also mega Potterheads, all at the same time.

Everytime I'd mention that Rowling is a POS, I would literally be shushed, and mean mugged.

Ironically (or perhaps not?) one of these people would later be fired from their job for racial insensitivity.

???????

Cognitive dissonance is really something else.

So weird considering they are literally novels for children lol...

These are the kind of people who are in their 30s and still make instagram posts, and frequently say in real life, 'I'm done adulting today.'

Oh right, even crazier, one of them was also a nurse and a covid skeptic... again all at the same time.

Mid ass books anyway. It was literally so easy to not engage with them and I fucking loved them as a kid.

Guess I am glad I never liked Harry Potter growing up

At first I was like "not this shit again, let people enjoy stuff even if you don't like it's creator, stop being bitter about some dickhead's wellbeing"

But then I saw what they're referring to. Fucking hell.

If there's two things billionaires don't care about, it's money and popularity.

Honestly I only got the urge to watch the movies again because people on Lemmy wouldn't shut up about her

Whatever happened to separating art and artist? I swear to God no one is more on someone's dick than an HP fan scorned. I get it jk is a fucking bitch but I'm not giving up good stories I grew up with because the twat who wrote it needs a good face punching.

If we did this with everything basically all entertainment would be fucked completely. But no we just have a hard-on for potter fans apparently. Easy targets I guess. Easier at least than sorting through all the media you love, to see if it stars Uncle touchy or the Weinsteins

I sorta get this, but sorta don’t. Do you have any idea how many celebrities are abhorrent people? Movie execs? Team owners? Record company execs? Game studio execs?

I’m guessing that MOST of what we enjoy involves someone or something that’s morally wrong. Hell, most of us can live the most responsible life possible, but we’re still participating in a capitalist system. Capitalism is responsible for all kinds of horrible things, like starvation and homelessness.

Why deny myself something fun when Evil Megacorp or Reprehensible Rich Person won’t notice or care, and the boycotts seem so randomly applied?

Because she actively funnels money to hate groups using money she receives from this intellectual property, and boasts about doing so.

Oh, I know why Rowling is on the shit list. She belongs there. I was just wondering about everything else I mentioned. I don’t expect an answer from anyone, either. It’s an impossible question. Just thinking out loud.
