I like harry potter. There are people out there judging me for doing so. to that i say, fuck off.
I am capable or separating art from the artist, something a lot of people really need to learn to do.
Her 'art' is shit though, apart from her being a transphobe her books are filled with racism, fatphobia, really weird talk about genitals etc and in the end at least one of her characters becomes a cop.
Besides all that, seperating the 'art' from the artist, if you still give her money (as she has careful contracts where she always gets royalties) is directly funding transphobia. If you wish to be the cause of more hatred, stripping of rights and death of trans people, well we don't want you here, quite frankly.
And you give your money to the art or the artist?
i dont, actually. but thats just cuz im too poor to be spending money on random stuff i wanna read. piracy ftw
The art was made. The artist was paid. Then she came out as a twat. The damage is done and the proceeds from the franchise are mostly over, what with the books and movies being past tense. The only current, actionable issue is the TV show, which let's face it, offers no value to viewers.
Every time you buy a HP goodie, you stream a HP film, you buy a new HP book, you play Hogwarts Legacy, you finance transphobia. And every time you speak about her works positively, you help her stay relevant, and you make other people buy her works, so you indirectly finance transphobia.
She still gets money from it, she has very careful contracts to ensure anything HP nets her royalties.
Does she not get royalties from that game what came out recently? Or the attractions at Universal Orlando?
She does.
Its not a matter of separating it from her. She isnt dead, shes still alive and consuming her work is kind of a passive endorsement. You know, sure she might be the figurehead of a movement that literally rejects transgender people from society, but thats not enough to give me pause in reading and enjoying her content.
Do you think listening to Chris Brown is cool? What about Diddy? You know separating art from the artist and what not. Consuming art is apparently an entirely neutral activity with no real world implications or consequences, so surely being like "sure Diddy is a serial sexual abuser, but I just adore his music. I'm capable of separating art from the artist" is also entirely valid in your view.
