Remember When Jkr Went Full Mask Off And Started Acting Evil And Hp Fans Were Like "ok We Need To Think

remember when jkr went full mask off and started acting evil and hp fans were like "ok we need to think carefully about the stuff we consume, how can we justify enjoying this series, how can we love it without supporting the author? should we try to separate art from artist or should we leave it be? isn't showing solidarity to trans folks more important? if we remain openly fans of this series will it show trans people we aren't safe or trustworthy?"

and then they decided that none of those questions really mattered and they continued to uncritically consume their stupid badly written children's books, and jkr has only gotten more nasty and hateful, and people only hate trans folks more, and now the answer to the last question is invariably YES. I don't trust any goddamn person who still loves Harry Potter in 2024 bc you've decided your nostalgia about a mediocre story written by a bigot is more valuable than the safety and wellbeing of trans people 🫶🖕

It's a wierd phenomenon, seeing as traditionalists are usually so dynastic.

Do yall ever feel no cares about our society and environment and everything.. I'm watching the world end before my eyes and everyone my age I talk to could care less I want people to care because what will fucking happen when your way of life is no longer possible I don't care about your status in cookie run kingdom STFU AND CARE ABOUT THIS PLANET WE ARE WATCHING IN REAL TIME OUT SOCIETY FALLING AND YOUR DOING NOTHING NOW IS THE TIME TO LEARN HOW TO CAN FOOD OR HUNT IT SEWING MAKING CONNECTIONS WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE KNOWLEDGE IN TRADITIONAL CRAFTS PEOPLE YOUR DYING AND DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT YOU ARE PART OF THE RAT RACE THAT WILL ONLY END WITH YOU DEAD

I think the first step towards the life you want is often to just say yes to more things. Accept that coffee invitation from your coworker even if it seems awkward. Sign up for that free class at the library that you're not sure you'll like. Join that club. Book that tour. Say yes to as many things as you can and kill the part of your brain that gut-reacts with a no.

The thing is, when museums and cultural institutions or researchers adopt memes in a "How do you do, fellow kids" way, that's adorable like my grandma when she's misusing emojis. However when some megacorp does it to sell me evil products or some influencer is trying to get me to buy nonsense skincare mud or cyberpunk looking face masks or weightloss pills, I think that's evil incarnate and their name goes into the Death Note (very mindful, very demure)
