Also fuck JKR
Meanwhile Hogwarts Legacy sold like 40mln copies? Most people don't care about dumb politics
Comment on The events at hogwarts were just an escalating series of magical school shootings 🤔
ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com 1 day agoTrue… What actually inspired that thought, indirectly, was thinking about how the anime I was watching (seven spellblades) felt like a more interesting wizarding universe than HP.

I doubt you would call it “dumb politics” if she was relentlessly campaigning against your right to exist in society as a person.

I have them tagged as “right wing PoS” so I’m not sure youre getting anywhere with them.

People also still use Meta products, Apple products, Amazon and their products, and so on, even though all of these companies directly support the budding fascist empire in the USA.
Likely, you too buy/use products by a corporation that supports the pumpkin dictator, and that has much more real-world effect (on trans people and on all other minorities too) than the ramblings of a mad old TERF.
At least Rowling isn’t directly stoking the genocide in Gaza or rounding up and deporting people to prison camps in other countries.
(I’m not defending Rowling. I’m just saying at a certain point most people, likely including you, value the convenience of next-day-shipping over the life of some people we don’t know.)

Rowling has spent tons of money petitioning the UK Supreme Court to basically make existing as a trans person in public illegal. She’s got more money than some cities do.
Like, legally, there is no where a trans man can piss in the UK. Not allowed in the women’s, not allowed in the men’s. Just got piss yourself.

Do you think Trump is better for Trans rights than Rowling? I don’t think so.
Yes, Rowling spends money petitioning the government and courts, but Trump is the government and controls the courts.
Don’t lose sight of the bigger enemy just because a smaller enemy is a woman.

Rowling is literally directly funding the erosion of trans rights in the UK. She IS directly responsible for a genocide.

Rowling funds petitions to the government. Trump is the government.
Don’t lose sight of the bigger evil.

Well I own it and I do, and most of my friends do as well (some of whom are trans)
But yeah, fuck JKR.

I mean I was conflicted about buying a copy and did not until (a) my wife wanted one and (b) I saw our trans sister had a copy.

Maybe you should ask your sister if she actually cares about JKR drama?

You should check out Mashle, it’s basically a parody of your typical “magic school” anime where the main character can’t use magic and literally just out muscles everyone.

Is just pure poetry

Mashle is very distinctly a Harry Potter parody, yep. All the way to the “chosen one” scar. Even the magic school headmaster looks 1 to 1 like anime Dumbledore.
