The most exhausting thing about the HP handwringing is the IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO PEOPLE I went to every movie opening night. I waited in line for the books. I was 10 when the first movie hit, I grew up with it. And I threw it all out because that woman hates me and those like me. It's that easy.

we can even do it for things that don’t affect us! I was a HUGE Seinfeld fan. after Michael Richards revealed he was racist, and then Jerry Seinfeld revealed he was racist and sexist, I haven’t watched it since. I don’t WANT to. call me a wild reactionary but I want art by people who aren’t bigots

It’s the need for absolution that annoys me the most. One could keep enjoying it in the privacy of their own mind or at least not post about it, but they want to announce it to the world and be told it’s okay and they’re still allies 🙄

yeah they want us to tell them it’s okay so they don’t feel bad but it’s not okay and if you’re supporting her in any way you should very much feel bad!

"It saved my life" and now it is actively funding threats to other peoples' lives. STOP GIVING HER MONEY DAMN IT

I'm cis, but there are trans people in my life who I care about, so I put in the work to let the damn thing go. I either threw stuff out or put it in storage. I was 11 years old, about to enter secondary school when the first book got its initial paperback run and my mum gave me a copy.

I co-founded a god damn Severus Snape deviantART fanclub, if you want to know my cringe credentials. 😅 My real life trans friends don't need to suffer even more because I'm sad my childhood got shit on. Nobody should be denied life-saving care for that. Nobody.

Harry has my same birthday I was grounded to my room mostly alone for months and disphoric even if I didn’t know about it I connected hard and while sealed in my room the only thing I could do was read those books were special to me as well but the books are dead to me she would gladly have me die

Sorry if repeating I just feel the exact same way
