Weird amount of Harry Potter posts this week
i think the americans are trying to make a new series? idk i saw some posts how all actors are hot now and how Snape is played by a black actor. which- why the fuck would you pick the most sketch of the main cast characters to be a POC, literally pick anyone else, hell make Harry black, or Hermione. why is the only bad character (up until the last idk 30min of the series runtime) black. this is not a diversity win, americans
Before Rowling went full nut job, she even approved the idea of black Hermione
I think it's a weird fight between the extreme side of "even liking the franchise makes you a transphobe" and the reasonable correct side of "just as long as she doesn't get your money it's not a big deal"
She's executive producer on the show, and even if she wasn't, she gets royalties on her ip in whatever fashion it is used. She is going to make a boatload off the show. And she donates her earnings into anti-trans organizations.
I think there's a difference, though, between liking it in private, and talking it up publicly.
If someone still listened to their Lostprophets albums I'm not going to judge, but if they spent a lot of time posting about how much they loved and still love Lostprophets... that still feels a bit off.
