DISCLAIMER: Though this poll is about a H*rry P*tter fan project, I do NOT support official HP material or JKR in any way shape or form. This is about Starkid alone. Do not come at me about HP related shit in the notes or my asks, you WILL be blocked (people who are still into HP find another fucking book)
For my family's secret Santa, I drew my 10-year-old niece. And according to my sister, she's really into comic books and Harry Potter these days.
So naturally, I am getting her the first few volumes of Witch Hat Atelier.
I mean, it's kind of a comic, and it's kind of like Harry Potter. Only, unlike Harry Potter, it's actually well written and the author isn't a bigoted billionaire.
Anyway, this way I am not only getting my niece something that's (hopefully and most importantly) right up her alley, but this could also turn her off Harry fucking Potter, and it might even get her interested in manga.
I don't get Harry Potter fans in general like, you know she's a massive bigot but continue to support her?
That's not the point of this, what pisses me off more than that is their entitlement.
I've posted several times on my cosplay Instagram "If you're making HP content, or promoting it break mutuals with me" and the amount of them that I know have seen it and have just ignored it.
Like no it applies to you too, I don't care if we've roomed together and cosplayed together for a con before. You're planning a slytherin cosplay in a group where you'll be buying new official merch in 2024? Grow up.
I unfollowed him a couple months ago when it was posted about she he followed me just before Christmas and has just now sent a message about a cosplsy I'm doing. No I don't want to talk to you, you talk about human rights but then promote the UK's best known transphobe.
Another guy I messaged before breaking mutuals because he lives local and our cons are small.
I end up blocking him because he kept sending messages when I said I was done.
Then he sent his sister saying "He's just really upset you guys aren't friends anymore, it's unfair" we'd spoke three times in the sane number of years? He doesn't mean shit to me.
Another guy bought hogwarts legacy, posted it on his story and then immediately followed with "I know people she's bad but it's my special interest" (Had literally not mentioned it at any other point that year and trust me he talks a lot).
After I called him out he removed that part defending himself.
If you're gonna have your transphobic, racist, antisemetic media at least own up to it.
Richard Wagner was a pompous, antisemitic asshole, whom Adolf Hitler was a huge fan of.
But many classical music lovers still listen to/watch his operas today. 1) Even I have to admit they're quality works of art. 2) He's been dead for a couple hundred years. Nothing benefits him or goes into his wallet anymore.
Every moment you show support for any work of J. K. Rowling's is another moment of you agreeing with her. This is according to her, loud and proud publicly. Every cent you put toward any merchandise of her work goes into her pocket, from which she takes out large sums to fund anti trans legislations in the UK, to actively hurt innocent people.
Unless you've been living in a cave these past several years, by now, if you still see nothing wrong with engaging with the Harry Potter franchise, then you're an idiot, no way around it.
harry potter fans try so hard to defend the shitty wizard game by pointing out the transfem character like it somehow outweighs the blatant racism and antisemitism in it, then reveal that her name is “sir ryan estrogenous” or some shit.
just play skyrim instead, it has a cooler magic system anyway
