Yes. You are. We are asking you not to engage with a very specific thing, and you are refusing. You are stamping your feet like a toddler that we are asking you not to give money to someone that is using that money to fund anti-trans lobbying.
So yes, you are a "trans hater" and need to do better.
Nonsense. Not agreeing with you does not paint me as a hater. That is extreme cap. Get outta your bubble lol
Also what money. I haven't given anyone money. I'm a pirate you dunce.
You don't see how cultural relevance has caused HBO to cut JK Rowling a check in order to make this show, which she then turns around and donates to anti-trans organizations?
Pirate or not, people watching and interacting with this stuff and talking about it with other people keeps it in the public consciousness. As long as it remains part of the zeitgeist then Rowling continues to profit from it.
It's quite easy to find other, better stories about wizards that don't directly fund bigotry. I recommend Dresden Files.
I'm allowed to enjoy what I enjoy without your personal judgment. I assure you I am an ally but you don't care because I like Harry Potter.
An ally wouldn't make generalizations about all trans people like this:
Why not when feeling attacked by a community they defend naturally?
Jim Butcher is also… not great
This is news to me, but I hardly know everything there is to know about him.
Any specifics? I would like to know. I recommend his books frequently.
