“if you want a HP shirt/necklace/earrings/whatever, make your own!!” except if you wear it in public, you’re still promoting jkr
“if you want to read the books, just get them from your library!” except libraries pay attention to what people take out, and you are still supporting an author if you library their books
“just play the games!” money goes to her for that
“well, just stream the movies!” she gets money for that
“well, you can always only tell your friend group about HP–” your friends are people! you are promoting HP to other people!
JKR is transphobic. She hates trans people. Just the other day she tweeted something transphobic–specifically, transmisogynistic. In the past she’s been transphobic to all types of trans people. She’s also bigoted in manyother ways.
There are better series. There are other series. Stop coming up with ways to keep the books and fandom alive.
Trans lives are more important than harry potter.
kinda pointless rebloging this given that if you disagree i dont want you following, me but imma do it anyway.
^^^^^ Its not just her being transphobic on twitter or normalizing transmysogyny. She uses her fortune to fund terf groups and she has been cited in UK legislature. She actively works towards pushing trans rights back and she uses her Harry Potter money to do it.
Interviewer: What do you think about starting an initiative on campus here at UK, to be more inclusive to women who have penises? So we can put urinals in the womens restroom for them.
Student: Sounds fantastic.
Interviewer: Oh, does it?
Student: Yeah.
Interviewer: What about- Let’s take it one step closer, y'know more- for inclusivity here on campus, but free tampons and pads in the mens restroom for men who have periods?
Student: Sounds great.
Interviewer: Ok- You dont see anything wrong with those statements?
Student: No.
Interviewer: What men do you know with periods?
Student: I generally use- ones like in Willy T* have pads, I use them pretty often.
*(Willy T is the college nickname for their library I’ve heard.)
I attend this school and I can confirm 2 things. Yes, our big library is indeed called Willy T AND the day that this stank bitch came to campus everyone was losing their MINDS and kept walking by in hopes of getting chosen to call her out. Immaculate.
i. am on the floor. wheezing. the moment she realizes that not only is she talking to a trans man,, but that SHE COULDN’T CLOCK HIM,, this is high art and i want it written in Big Wedge sharpie on my wall
okay, idk where the clip was, but there was another bit where she was talking to this frat-boy looking dude:
bennett: so do you think we should put tampons and pads in the men’s restroom? dude: sure, I mean, I don’t really care. if a dude needs a tampon, he can have one. bennett: but would he need one? like, what would he use it for? dude, thoroughly unimpressed:I don’t know, that’s hisproblem.
and I just love that guy’s energy. So much of the trans bathroom talk is invasive and way too personal, and then there’s this guy like “yeah, why the fuck would I need to know? why do youneed to know, you weirdo?”
