Hey there, I’m a mod of c/traa and was recently called out for saying JK Rowling is transphobic and buying the Hogwarts game is a bad idea. I was told that the ‘actual trans people with sense’ are here and agree that playing the Hogwarts game is fine, and so is giving money to a transphobe billionaire. This ally of trans rights (and instance admin of a large server that isnt blahaj or hexbear) of course seems to vehemently disagree.
So, as a question, do you agree with giving money in any way to JK Rowling? Do you agree with supporting Harry Potter as a franchise? 🤓 I have a feeling I already know the answer to this, but I figure yall might find this whole thing amusing
I have certainly stopped giving her money. I got the game a different way and it was pretty mediocre anyway. It’s a bit ironic that the game was pretty inclusive, blood libel not withstanding.
I certainly don’t begrudge your opinion but there’s nuance in all things. There’s no ethical consumption in capitalism but there’s no reason we can’t call out bigots.
