    Man, I have literally heard people say you should burn the books and movies you probably already owned long before Rowling was known to be a TERF. The art isn’t the problem. As long as you’re not continuing to financially support the bitch herself, Harry Potter himself ain’t gonna harm trans people.

      Yeah, it’s not like you have anything like

      • Two Indian characters named after the region they’re supposed to be from
      • Stereotypically named Irish character obsessed with blowing stuff up and making alcohol
      • An Asian character named “cho chang”
      • Bankers that are barely disguised anti-Semitic tropes
      • Literally a tweet saying only “Anthony Goldstein, Ravenclaw, Jewish wizard.” in response to accusations of no Jewish wizards
      • Naming the black adult “Shacklebolt”

          Yeah, that’s my only explanation for that kind of a name for a black person. Whether or not it was intentional, I have to assume she’s massively racist, as are all of her editors/publisher. Too many people has the opportunity to say ‘what the fuck, lady’, and it still went to print.
