crazy how if you do your chores and obligations first thing on a day off you can enjoy your free time more than if you feel like you’re procrastinating your chores and obligations the whole time. i will not be learning from this experience

Last year JK Rowling personally funded a group called Sex Matters to amend UK law so that trans women *overnight* went from legally women to legally men. This has resulted in mass exclusion of the trans community from numerous organizations, along with ongoing violent assaults on both trans and cis women alike.

With the new Harry Potter series she will be making a reported $20 million per-season renewal + other performance dependent royalties. She has been open across multiple interviews regarding her intentions to use said funds to push forth even more trans targeted legislation in the years to come.

This isn’t a “she gets paid no matter what” situation. The more eyeballs on this show the more money she has to actively harm vulnerable communities. By engaging with it you are directly supporting this and otherwise making a conscious choice to consume HP over doing the literal very least possible to not destroy the lives of trans people across the world.

If my stating the objective facts above upsets you then feel free to unfriend and move along. Your nostalgia-goggles feelings for a tired, problematic franchise mean nothing to me compared to the welfare of my trans friends and loved ones."

If you care more about badly written children's books and imaginary wizards more than you do about real people in the real world do it far the fuck away from me.

Don't try to be in my life.

In fact, you are cordially invited to eat shit and die.

Just adding that as someone in the UK, it's insane how many people don't seem to know that Rowling had anything to do with this ruling and seem to be under the impression that it was something a long time coming.

It wasn't.

The tide has't just turned on trans rights in this country out of thin air - it's happened because Rowling and the people around her are using their platforms, their power, and their monetary resources to actively set back trans rights by decades.

"Duck Dodgers in the 24 and 1/2th Century" is a famous example of a Looney Tunes parody that outlived the relevance of the thing it was parodying (Buck Rogers in the 25th Century) but it's not even the only one.

The character of Foghorn Leghorn was a parody of Senator Claghorn, a character from the 1940s radio show The Fred Allen Show.

Bugs Bunny eating the carrot is a parody of Clark Gable in It Happened One Night. I genuinely saw the movie without knowing this and assumed *he* was spoofing *Bugs.*

[charlesoberonn]

Looney Tunes is a time capsule of specific 1930s and 40s pop culture.
