There is no ethical consumption of her media. People may argue that you could pirate. Yes, you won't be contributing directly to her funds, but you're still giving her the clout.

Don't you give Rowling clout by making Harry Potter memes as well? Even more so than pirating media in silence.

In 'The Left hand of Darkness' there is a part about the road to Rome. If you are on the road to Rome and walk away from Rome you are still on the road to Rome. Rather then the Potter books more people should read the left hand of Darkness.

I agree, but that's kinda like saying that too many people read Doctor Seuss and that they should read Ulysses instead. Le Guin is far superior to Rowling, not just in ethics, but in literary ability, and thus also difficulty. But I do think everyone should read everything she's written. In particular The Dispossessed, given that this is lemmy.

Making fun of a stranger's appearance by taking a photo of them without their consent is fucking shitty.

Making fun of a strangers appearance while lecturing people on ethics. Ironic.

You don't know what irony is.

Thankfully we have you to explain it to us and provide a more fitting term.

Hmm. If your intention is not to mock someone - not trying to hurt their feelings, I don't see a problem with that.

Humour is a challenging skill. There's always someone who gets offended, even with the smallest hint that may or many not be there.

[โ€“] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 hours ago

Exactly. That's how you get

Thank you Lemmy for introducing me to:

[โ€“] Damaskox@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

This make me grin!

Is this for real? Real-real?

Gotta take a look at it if I cross paths with this book some day!

[โ€“] MadameBisaster@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I own the first one, just beware Tingle in general writes weird stuff...bellatrix is a motorbike for example...but its fun

[โ€“] prex@aussie.zone 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Its part of a series!
I haven't read them tbh but some comments suggested they have at least some literary value & are quite readable - if a bit racey.
Edit: the image is a link.

What if I pirate that game that was artificially propped up by transphobe supporters of her and don't tell anyone? That wouldn't give her any clout

Even better: what if I pirate it, hate it, and tell everyone how much it sucks? Surely, that would count as negative clout?

[โ€“] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 9 hours ago

That game does suck. And I'm pretty sure it uses AI generated content, too.

Harry Potter and the Burnt Out Wage Slave

I'll go back to liking them when she's dead and can't do more harm.

Where's an Etsy witch when you need one?

Is he working at Wandsworth prison?
