    i misunderstood the comment, my bad on that one. again, i’m not telling anyone what to enjoy and what not to. do what you want, i’ll do the same. going back to my first comment’s edit, it’s just really weird that people are more offended by my shitting on harry potter of all things than they are about the creator of harry potter being a bigot. it was never about me saying “you’re not allowed to like harry potter.” it’s about “you continue to enjoy harry potter, and i’ll continue to condemn harry potter and jk rowling.” because fuck bigots, and fuck their IPs

    don’t worry, we’re moving on to neil gaiman next. fuck rapists and their IPs also

      People are not “more upset” at this than at something else. You made a comment that didn’t even criticize JKR as much as said something about people who have HP tattoos, you got answers related to that comment from people who disagree. This doesn’t say anything about how much those same people are upset about anything else. Trying to put everyone who disagrees with your remark into the box of “supporting JKR” is quite a dishonest strategy.

        how about if everyone just continues to consume a bigot’s “art” while thinking that it doesn’t inherently validate and/or perpetuate the bigotry, and i’ll continue to say fuck that shit. win-win

          Sure, but this is not what this conversation was nor is about. Your comment was about people having HP tattoos and what a shame that is supposed to be.

          And yes “consuming” bigot’s art doesn’t validate nor perpetuate bigotry in itself. For sure it doesn’t retroactively, like is the case with tattoos.

          All-in-all you can keep saying what you want about the story, the books, the authors, the movies, whatever. I actually don’t care. I was more interested in all the judgment passed about people who enjoy (or enjoyed! In the past!) the story.

          So many naive little turds in the world. Bro, just about everyone on the planet has done something egregious at one point or another, and tons of creatives are honestly pretty horrible people. It’s like trying to avoid every evil corporation, you’ll just have no where to spend your earnings, because guess what? They’re all fucking evil! Just. Let. People. Enjoy. Things.
