    Yeah okay, you are not being genuine. That much is clear now. This is a post about J. K. Rowling using profits from her IP to fund transphobia. People run in to defend the franchise, we try to explain how giving her money means more policies against us is bad, and then you object to that?

    Ofc we are talking about HP in the HP post. Why would I talk about religion here? She gave a significant meaningful amount of money to fund hate against me, and she continues to be influential and use her and her IPs popularity to make peoples lives harder.

    Why do you think I don’t speak up against any church or organization funding hate and bigotry? You are not being genuine.

      No, you went further and are hating on people liking HP. You are attacking the art not the artist. I am defending art in general. I am not defending Rowling at all or encouraging funding for her. Everyone should pirate anything HP related.

      Why would I talk about religion here?

      Because you are confusing the art and the artist. That precedent should not be allowed no matter the topic. (By equating religion to art I can make my point quicker. Note I’m not choosing any religion in particular)

      Why do you think I don’t speak up against any church or organization funding hate and bigotry?

      Do you also try to stop people from believing in that religion? From reading those religious books? No. The art is separate.

      You are not being genuine.

      I’m highlighting how art and artist are separate. No-one should feel guilty about enjoying a fictional book.
