Awesome! And with that the next round of speculation begins about which TV characters could all appear in this movie
"A majority trans instance doesn't need reminders that JK Rowling exists in their local feed."
How tf does that make sense with the rest of your arguments? You keep saying that it is important to highlight the JKR criticism, but suddenly agree that it is traumatizing for a lot of people?
Come on, either you don't interact with TERFs a lot or you're just being dumb right now. She was clearly radicalized by TERFs over the last decade, parroting TERF takes and viewpoints years after they have originally been made. Calling her the source is giving her way more credit that she deserves
Tbf on some communities you get original content write-ups about various topics, not just low effort memes.
His videos are always great and interesting to watch!
(Especially as I find it hard to find youtube channels covering these topics who are not run by conspiracy people lol)
And while I am not trans, I cannot stop being queer.
I already don't give her or the franchise any money at this point and if I ever choose to consume anything from this franchise again, I will pirate it. I understand the stance of "stop engaging with it entirely!", though I personally don't agree with it. My "enthusiastic participation in the fandom" is laughable – in the last couple of years I have maybe posted a few news articles and memes that I came across elsewhere, because I felt "makes sense to post this in the HP community". Apart from that it is the passive viewing of stuff that shows up on my feed.
So yes, it may be the cognitive dissonance between that knowledge and the belief that I'm not an oppressor of trans people is uncomfortable.
What I am trying to find is a way to still engage with this childhood world that accompanied so many of us for years of growing up, while cutting this lady out of my life. Because I can't stop her from doing what she does.
But maybe you are right and it is not possible to engage with this nostalgia anymore. If that was the case the consequence for me tbh would be to leave and block any community dedicated to the franchise.
