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
She explicitly said she considers it endorsement of her beliefs. I’m not going to say people can’t enjoy Harry Potter anymore, but I will say I can’t. I get that it’s part of a lot of people’s childhood. But it’s also absolutely a form of privilege because every time I’m reminded of it I’m reminded that something I loved as a child is funding my oppression very explicitly now. And I trust you less when I see you celebrating it.
But I’m also not one of the good ones. I respect myself and my sisters.
