"If JK Rowling doesn't want people writing her ocs as trans, then you shouldn't to that! They're her ocs at the end of the day!"
—You probably
Hi! So do you understand the difference between JK Rowling, a Billionaire Transphobic Writer and A Twitch Streamer? Can you maybe understand why Someone being a terrible person is different then someone saying "Don't ship my characters".
When I say individual artists, I am meaning people who don't have millions of dollars and use that income to give money to fund transphobia.
I can understand seeing a CC go "Don't make my character trans" and getting abit of the ick, but hey! I'd still say to respect that. It's their character! If you had a trans character and people were making them cis, you'd probably feel uncomfortable with that too, I know i would. At the end of the day, my goal will almost always be to treat people how i would want to be treated. I know i wouldn't want my boundaries broken just because "fans" of the work think they should be allowed too.
Also I think there's something to be said about how people continue to support and make things about JK Rowlings stories when they don't have too. There are so many other stories out there and while i can understand finding enjoyment from her stories, especially before all the insane shit came out about her and from her, i do not understand why people seem to think themselves forced to continue to interact with those stories instead of deciding to find joy and, in this hypothetical, trans characters, somewhere else.
I understand finding headcanons in characters, especially characters from problematic sources, and also the disgust in finding out the person who wrote those sources, is,, uh, well, disgusting. It's hard, but there are other things. Just like there are other cc's that ARE okay with things you want to do.
When it comes to JK Rowling, I think it's better to go on to make your own things, then continue to make things about a story from a absolutely insane transphobe. That doesn't mean i think people making stuff about, stories like Harry Potter are all bad people, Especially when they acknowledge the source material being made by someone awful, tho. I think as long as you aren't supporting the writer in this case, it's mostly fine.
In this case, The MCYT's we watch are not Millionaire or Billionaire writers. They are artists, making stories and Roleplaying with their friends. Just because they make that public and it tends to be part of their job, doesn't mean they're on the same level as fucking JK Rowling. Especially if that MCYT is not Transphobic, If they are, You should stop watching and making things about them. Stop supporting them.
Anyways! Thanks for the ask, I hope this makes you understand my point better.
