Yeah, I'm gonna stop enjoying fun books or movies because somebody else is upset about the author...

Trans people: "this is doing harm to us please stop!"
Cis: "Is it really though? Asking people to quit their pottertreats is just alienating stop being so dramatic!"

My kids love the books and the movies. We buy them the illustrated versions when they arrive in stores. We semi-frequently watch the movies together and enjoy them.

Whatever happened to separating art and artist? I swear to God no one is more on someone's dick than an HP fan scorned. I get it jk is a fucking bitch but I'm not giving up good stories I grew up with because the twat who wrote it needs a good face punching.

If we did this with everything basically all entertainment would be fucked completely. But no we just have a hard-on for potter fans apparently. Easy targets I guess. Easier at least than sorting through all the media you love, to see if it stars Uncle touchy or the Weinsteins

Honestly I only got the urge to watch the movies again because people on Lemmy wouldn't shut up about her

The books are good and the movies are good. Young people of the internet forget the kind of childish shit we had before Harry Potter.

Also the movies have fucking Hans Gruber who tries to kill John McPotter and that was awesome.

I sorta get this, but sorta don’t. Do you have any idea how many celebrities are abhorrent people? Movie execs? Team owners? Record company execs? Game studio execs?

I’m guessing that MOST of what we enjoy involves someone or something that’s morally wrong. Hell, most of us can live the most responsible life possible, but we’re still participating in a capitalist system. Capitalism is responsible for all kinds of horrible things, like starvation and homelessness.

Why deny myself something fun when Evil Megacorp or Reprehensible Rich Person won’t notice or care, and the boycotts seem so randomly applied?
