roald dahl was antisemitic and misogynistic. george orwell was openly homophobic. edgar allan poe married his 13 year old cousin. dr seuss cheated on his wife (and was racist as well as antisemitic!). hp lovecraft was racist as fuck. anyways they’re fucking dead it’s not like you’re enabling their behaviors in the afterlife or something. then again I think they bleed into the books so uh keep an eye out for that
the difference between these old white guys and jk rowling is that the former group is all dead. jk rowling is alive and using your money to oppress trans people
some of y'all may not want to hear this either, but keeping the fandom alive keeps her profitable. Yes, even marauders. Yes, even fanfics and fanart and buying from small artists. When merch makers see that wizarding world stuff is still profitable, they pay JKR a LOT of money to make her MORE merch. Because someone will buy it, even if it's not you.
Let it go. Love your nostalgia in private and stand with the trans community by not fundraising for our genocide.
