Tbf there were likely people saying the same thing about meine kampf when Jewish people were going missing.
I've never really been a HP fan, so it doesn't bother me. And as a straight white male, pride has fuck all to do with me... Buuuut I'm capable of seeing why trans communities would take issue with her inflammatory statements, and funding of discrimination against them.
Her latest venture is entirely funded by her, and aims to provide legal support for fighting against trans inclusion; Regardless of whether you agree with trans people, surely you can understand why they wouldn't want to fund that?
You're comparing a book about wizards and magic to... Mein Kampf?
Not quite. I'm comparing an author that oppressed people to an author that is oppressing people.
The contents of the books never came up in my comment, but nice strawman nonetheless
As a counterpoint; do you think it's acceptable to fund oppression of any marginalised group?
The contents of Mein Kampf are anti Jew... It literally describes the process of becoming anti semetic
Harry Potter is not about becoming anti trans...
Why are you comparing a book about wizards and magic to mein kampf?
We're discussing the authors, not the books.
No. It's not necessary. Read the article.
