Warner Bros is going to buy Joanna out so that the radfem TERF c*nt is no longer attached to the IP. Because this is the biggest "the art is not the artist" thing I've had to deal with.
I'm queer (obvi lol) and I've had issues with buying/supporting anything HP since Rowling started on her TERF bullshit, but...Harry Potter was a huge part of my childhood. I'm a Millennial...we know our Hogwarts house more than we know our blood type or our Meyers-Briggs (Meyers-Briggs is also some bullshit, but I can elaborate on that later if you're interested lol). Harry Potter shaped a lot of my generation. It had its flaws (all of the racism, and the fact that Hermione being anti-slavery was treated as a joke, etc) but the core story was "you're nothing without your support system, the government doesn't have your best interests at heart, you can be destined for something but your actions are more important than fate, power is nothing without intentions". We learned to recognize fascism and propaganda before we even knew those words. It shaped us.
So with Rowling turning and giving in to the bigotry that she was already prone to (she was at least underlyingly racist...see: Cho Chang and Kingsley Shacklbolt and the goblins) I thought I was going to have to completely distance myself from everything she created...but Warner Bros is apparently about to buy her out so that she has no say in the world she created. They can distance themselves from the racism and the classism and the anti trans shit she's been spewing for the last few years! And when they do, I might be able to write on my HP fic again.
The potterverse doesn't belong to Joanne anymore. It stopped being hers when the fandom took it. But it will 100% stop being hers when WB buys it from her.
