Fun fact you can be banned from the Warner Bros official Hogwarts Legacy discord chat, for discussing having a Jewish character.

hey remember when people were like “stop financially supporting JKR she takes it as tacit acceptance and support of her vile transphobic views and uses it to fund all the shit she’s pushing” and other people were like “but my authentic house scarf 🥺” -R

look it made sense back when we were all ten and harry potter was blowing our escapist minds with Baby’s First Urban Fantasy but she hasn’t even made anything good this decade, nobody’s life is getting changed by Fantastic Beasts and Tacitly Enabling The Horrors Of WWIl-R

I know that this hurts a lot of people to accept, and it sucks when nostalgia gets poisoned by cruel realities, but that doesn’t take away what the stories meant to you once. “Loved” never goes away. But it sometimes needs to be left in the past. And buried. In concrete. -R

show the trans people in your life that their fundamental human rights matter more to you than one (1) book series and then go read A Wizard Of Earthsea instead 🏳️‍⚧️-R. End ID]

People: Wow, I never knew there was messed up stuff in Harry Potter. It’s so…hidden. No wonder it’s taken so long to talk about it. You have to REALLY look to be able to see it. It’s like…coded language. It’s so easy not to see.

Fat people after Dudley has been compared to a pig for the 30th time by page 7:

This post has been making the rounds again. I don’t think many people have realized that the underlined part is actually a link to a video about fatphobia in Harry Potter, specifically the fatphobia expressed by how JK Rowling treats Dudley. If you’re interested in the video, I recommend watching it soon since the creator of it recently deleted their fat positive Tumblr blog due to harassment. I wouldn’t be surprised if the harassment on YouTube by fatphobes becomes too much to bear as well. Here’s the video:

"didn't you used to like hp"

yes cuz i was a child and it was a huge phenomenon that gave me an easy sense of wonder and companionship shared with my peers and i was unaware of many evils of the world

i am now an adult and able to see how hateful its creator is and what kind of messages she spreads and i don't want that in my life ✌️ she finds my existence "tragic" and "unfortunate" and is funding legislation that kills people, she can suck my entire ass

Like this always pisses me off. I'm not mad at people who don't know. I'm not mad at people who used to like it. I'm upset with the people who are continuing after they know how harmful it is or actively shutting down conversations that bring awareness.

okay so ive been avoiding hearing anything about the new harry potter game. im sure a lot of us have. if yall dont know, its a major game and not a shitty mobile game or anything. but i just found out its apparently about fucking suppressing the goblin rebellion. no, not helping them bc hey maybe that would be a good thing. nope! youre tasked with putting the goblins back in their place apparently.

for anyone who doesnt remember, the goblins were the banker characters who worked in gringotts and looked Uncomfortably Like jewish stereotypes. and youre suppose to suppress their rebellion, where theyre rebelling against the fact that like most nonhuman magical creatures, theyre treated like shit by wizards. yep :)

click thru the top tweet to read the whole thread with all the screenshots, it just gets worse and worse but jesus fucking christ, HOW. i know i shouldnt be surprised that this fucking francise of all of them is pulling this shit but how fucking blatant can you be.

if it wasnt enough that youd be lining the terfs pockets buying this shit, is the plot being fucking blatant ass alt right propaganda enough

IT GETS WOOOOORSE

With the drop of the new Fantastic Beasts trailer, let's take a moment to remember that JKR:

1. is unequivocally a TERF + openly supports and allies herself with other TERFs

2. uses her massive wealth and platform to fight against trans rights, such that an anti-trans republican senator has cited her controversial essay to block voting on the Equality Act , and

3. has retained so much control over the HP franchise that giving her money (through movie tickets, book sales, official merch, etc) actively enables and contributes to the platform she uses to target vulnerable people

jk rowling dropped more of her transphobic bs the same day that a trailer for fantastic beasts 3 was dropping, when she KNEW attention would be on her. she is officially using the popularity of her series to spread her harmful rhetoric, misleadingly presented information, and downright lies.

imo there is no separating the series from her anymore. supporting hp stuff supports transphobia point blank. as someone who grew up with the series and was extremely attached to it until the transphobia started, it does pain me to say this, but we have to stop supporting all of it. trans lives matter more than harry potter.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!! Since launching Obliviate Vol 3, I’ve gotten enough orders to be able to make donations to 4 awesome Trans-supporting charities! It means a ton to me to work with the Harry Potter fandom for good! If any of you want to support them too, you totally should! Here’s a carrd link to all of the charities I donated to:

Thank you all again! New Sirius Black comic in the works, stay tuned! Have a good weekend friends! -Katie

I think it was better as a sketch but it was fun anyway

I AM FUCKING FUMING RIGHT NOW

okay so the Bloomberg article suggests that these are changes were pushed by individuals on the development team who weren't happy with having to work on a Harry Potter game -- and it's cool that they made those changes, but absolutely do not let anybody tell you this is a win for representation, or the trans community in any way -- do not let JK Rowling or Warner Bros take any kind of credit or responsibility for the individuals on this dev team wiping their asses for them.

all in all this is a testimony to how companies only care about trans people when it makes them money.

Also remember that buying this game is Not even helping the same developers they were pushing for this in the first place.

Most programmers are contract employees and have already made their salary. Buying this game would only give money to producers/Rowling.

Hey, so they’re making a Netflix Harry Potter.

With that in mind, we’re all gonna remember that JKR is a terf who has literally been cited by legislators engaged in legislation that actively harms trans people, and we’re not gonna give her any more money.

That means not streaming the new show on Netflix, because regardless of how much influence she has on the production, she gets paid for it.

We’re gonna make the show flop. We’re gonna show Warner Brothers that we don’t forget (of course, how would we forget, it isn’t as if she’s stopped), and that their business association with terfs is no longer profitable.

It is NOT like Lovecraft, because Lovecraft is very dead and his works are in the public domain. By consuming Lovecraft media, you are not giving any money to old Howard.

Facts are important, even with rumors:

I see the original post has been deleted. It’s a shame to see how tumblr allows misinformation to continue spreading.
