Yea it's children's media. It's never been touted as a literary masterpiece. That doesn't change that people love the setting and wish to enjoy the media that takes place within it. I'm not here to criticize the works themselves on their literary merits for being copaganda and liberal hogwash.

The problem people have is that it is tangentially funding her, through the royalties she receives from how our system has structured ownership that entitles her to reimbursement. Yet, I guarantee, if all these people looked behind the curtains of the things they buy, then they will find they routinely "support" similar people through that same system of convoluted ownership funneling funds into their bank accounts.

So anyone trying to villainize people for enjoying a media franchise that they hold dear to them is a straight up hypocrite whose opinion I give zero shits about, unless the person laying that criticism literally has never engaged with the capitalist markets in any capacity.
