Aye. I still have all my first edition books from when I was in 6th grade on and I sure ain’t giving those up, but all the movies live on my server that were obtained from the high seas. I never bought their merch anyway, I’d rather have my band merch.
That’s what I told a friend who asked if she should read enders game. Get it from the library or steal it. Orson Scott Card doesn’t deserve your money because he’s a shitty person.
It’s basically impossible to be perfect, pirating the work stops the money from going to jk Rowling which therefore stops it from going to anti trans groups.
Shopping at Home Depot hurts trans people
Using Amazon hurts trans people
Shopping at basically any big box store hurts trans people
They are a heavily oppressed group and you aren’t able to live your life perfectly so don’t sweat pirating a game
The movies are good, but the story is also the weakest link. You could swap the story and maintain everything else and it’d probably be just as good if not better.
It’s something people like… and for many people it’s a comfort movie/book
Like there are just so many worse things in the world that worrying about the cultural impact of pirating a movie/book/game is such a waste of time.
Asking people to stop giving her money is 1 thing but you are accomplishing nothing except making people feel like they are completely powerless if you tell them to not even talk about HP
No, frankly viewing anything I try to do for leisure through that lens sounds exhausting and depressing. Just do what you can to avoid financially supporting it, stealing it is fine.
I don’t even particularly like Harry Potter either
You don’t need to stop doing any of this.
Just pirate all of it.
That’s what I did.
Even better: pirate it, and whatever it would have cost, donate that amount to an LGBTQ+ charity.

That’s still boosting the cultural impact of her work. In some cases piracy increases total sales.

Yeah but it’s not like this is the best literature has to offer, nobody would really lose anything by just not reading a very mid saga.

I would agree, but the wizard game where the good guys put down a slave uprising isnt just antisemitic and transphobic, even worse, its mid.
how can you enjoy it though? like, don’t you get disgusted knowing you’re consuming the product of a transphobe? fuckin gross
The old conundrum of separating the art from the artist. Personally, I think as long as you aren’t giving them any money, have at it.
a painting by a very famous Austrian
schwarzenegger is a famous austrian. your painter there was an infamous shitbag. know the difference!
lol love it when hitler fans out themselves
Kartoffel, kartoffel.
he wasn’t german. and it’s a specious comparison, when one comes from a maggoty hate infested shithole, the other from any normal farm.
What do you think a potato is called in Austria?
EDIT: I stand corrected, a potato is more commonly called Erdapfel in Austria, or “earth apple.” That makes it even better: Kartoffel, Erdapfel.
Either way, you’d be lying if u said his artwork his shit.
It’s bad
