the fact that jk rowling spends quite literally all of her time sitting on twitter concocting fantasies about evil trans women coming to burn her at the stake and actively supporting and promoting fascism. and still has so much public support and so much financial backing and so much cultural influence… we have 8 movies a shitty play like 500 video games merch theme parks and now we’re getting a “decade long” tv show… aren’t you tired. i’m so tired. who cares about harry fucking potter it’s 2023 go read or watch or play literally anything else
the fact that when the game was coming out there were people who i know in real life, who i always considered to be sincere in their alliance to trans people and always were considerate of pronouns and shit, who were saying “lol fuck jk rowling but i wanna play the game” and not even considering for a second that that made them a bad ally. because of course they qualified it with “fuck jk rowling” which is all that matters. you can say fuck jk rowling all you like that means NOTHING. literally nothing. bro just stop vocally aligning yourself with trans people if you’re gonna behave like that. and you KNOW the same thing is gonna happen with this show, and probably on a larger scale, because tv is more accessible and more intergenerational than gaming.
With the announcement of the Harry Potter TV series, you will be made aware of the people in your social circle who are excited about it.
Now is a good time to stop knowing them.
The play here is fairly blatant.
Hire new 12 year olds that haven’t condemned JK Rowling’s horrendous views
Aggressively condemn the inevitable people who say shit about said 12 year olds online to take the moral high ground
Turn it into a show that people hate watch for maximum revenue
Friendly reminder that JK Rowling is the executive producer for this show. So in addition to benefiting monetarily from its very existence, she will be an active participant in creating its narrative. I won’t be watching it and I encourage everyone else to ignore its existence as well.
