I feel like most of my followers know this but because I see a lot of cis folks who have a specific blind spot for it:
This includes the theme park. I don't care if you want Butterbeer or want to get a wand or are already there so why not just walk in. It's all Her. Everything with the name is Her.

J.K. Rowling is using her wealth attained from the "Harry Potter" series to create an organization dedicated to removing transgender people's rights "in the workplace, in public life, and in protected female spaces.”

Her work is evil and I had report someone in this exact thread for being an open bigot because according to them "muh potters!" are more important than trans lives.
Thus supporting her work, supports evil.
This should be obvious.
I believe she gets a cut from the merch there, though (like the wands, butterbeer, basically stuff with the trademark to it). Hence the original point being made.
The merchandise sales for Wizarding World would be the more direct correlation, but it still ends up telling her the same thing.
People need to stop lying to themselves about this series
I don’t know, I knew plenty of people who did unironically partake on all of the made up shit from Dr. Seuss themed parks at the Isles of Adventures (myself included).
I hate roller coasters already tho lol
She has literally made the erasure of trans people from society the purpose of her existence.
Harry Potter sucks.
If your child enjoys it please lovingingly guide them to the millions of other options that are better written, more fun, & worth remembering past 10 minutes.
and IT DOESN'T FUND THE TERF WIZARD!
It is also our responsibility to inform our friends and family to cease supporting her through buying HP related items.

1. If the first boycott failed, how can we be sure this one won't fail?
2. Should there be a change in tactics to ensure the desired change?
4. Is there common ground?
(Does the HP fandom like/ dislike JK?)
Please consider these questions. Love yall 🤙
Think the "Wizards of High Sorcery" mixed with 60s X-Men and teen dramas.
"Hey JK Rowling, ain´t it great we are out of problems in the world, no homeless people, no one gose hungry.
JK - No those problems dose exist.
Me - Alright then, why are you putting your money on damaging Trans people and not help hunger?"
I'm pretty sure those got re-branded into Bean Boozled later on
Does she uuhh... Does she know about the existence of trans men? Like, where are those poor fellas supposed to go by J.K's definition then, if trans women need to stay out of whatever she's yapping about? I'm not even shocked anymore, just confused as heck!
Just stop.

Making Max Miller's version is on the bucket list though and I am excited to try the true historical butter beer.
I am not going to use my platform to make her work relevant and by extension keep her relevant.
There's no separating art from artist here, they need to be held accountable for her words and her actions.

The only reason anybody buys wands is that's what they do in HP, since that world is some kind of purified consumerism hell. You don't pay for the product, you pay for brand and brand cred.
Anyway,
And the fact its in Florida but that's beside the point
If HP becomes passe, they stop licensing it.
When this comes up at work I’m made to feel like I’m overreacting and have unreasonable concerns.
The mental gymnastics people go through to defend her are so tiring.
If they try to apply the literary theory anyway, it's STILL irrelevant b/c that's about ignoring the author's intended meaning of a text vs a reader's interpretation. Has nothing to do w/ what it funds.
With the likes of Rowling or Orson Scott Card you're just funding a bigot.
I have a hard time imagining that in 80 years you will be able to trace a direct line through a large amount of fantasy back to fuckin Hogwarts.
She’s a terrible person.
Aha um
She still gets a small cut of the ticket sales.
><
So you could say “no I’m not going to the Harry Potter stuff I want to go Nintendo or Jurassic park or universal monsters!”
TOUGH SHIT THOSE TICKETS STILL PUSH FOR HER
FUCK US I SUPPOSE!!!
Also, Nintendo games are confirmed to have the full game on cartridge. Third party publishers can still only do partials if they want
And 3rd parties only are offered a Game Key Card, which is just the download to the console, not card.
So unlike most Switch 1 Games or even a DS cartridge for example, the full game won’t be on said cartridge and you will have no choice but to download the full game.
JKR will die regardless, as everyone does.
No. Fuck that. Let it die. Continuing to give attention her shitty fiction keeps it in the Zeitgeist, which makes money for her indirectly.
Let. It. Die.
until then, when she's using all profitability from harry potter merchandising and television and movies to fuel genocidal acts targeting trans people, you do not have the luxury of separating her from her art
you have to own it
periodt
well the art is also bad on its own
but so long as the art doesn't contribute to its creators' evil deeds, the two can't be separated; that only happens a long time after death
like how we can do with lovecraft now
You are fucking scum.
Lol, no.

It's never been an excuse to prioritize your desire for treats

Like how we can read Lovecraft, even if he was a racist piece of shit, because he's fucking dead.
You can watch your harry plopper tory fantasy middle england bullshit when she's in the same place as him
Robot Chicken made a very disgusting "joke" about trans reality - no more Robot Chicken for this queer
Pretty simple decision really, but humans will tie themselves in knots to get any answer but the simplest, easiest one
i would have agreed before you pushed me away,
you're keeping her relevant culturally.
You support that. You like what she is trying to do and don't care about her victims. You want her to have money and power because you are on her side
If that's ok with you, I'd highly question that 'ally' you have in your name...
JK is looking to commit a genocide of trans people (not hyperbole, she wants us gone from public life). Bit different to someone who's a bad person currently rotting in jail, dead or has done bad things in the past and is living quietly
It doesn’t seem like it’s that hard a choice tbh.
Read the Earthsea books, they’re better.
Rowling is attempting to amplify prejudice and define the current moral and ethical landscape to fit her view. Very different.
No. No we can't.
jk rowling isn't a 'bad person' she is quite literally trying to fucking eradicate me.
the framing one's entire value system can be determined in first grade and is immutable?
the author has no clue how virtues are acquired
which is why she has failed to acquire any herself
This makes US all wonder if you're too weak to avoid her works, or if you're simply fine with her bigotry.
Try being better. It'll help.
Grow up already. Also there's other shit that you probably liked as a kid that aren't attached to raging bigots. Fuck your childhood if it's trying to ruin the childhoods of others.
Get every fucking harry potter loser to start posting about Barney Rubble and dinosaur cars and the world will be a better place.
I grew up with NASCAR and still watch, but the whole sudden pandering to the right and their deal with Amazon kind of...sours me a tad.
You don't have to enjoy things you did in your youth, as an adult, grow, be a better person.
I used to love Chappelle's Show back in the day, but it doesn't mean I'm going to forever follow Dave down his transphobic spiral.
My crippling imposter syndrome prefers the latter
It's going to have her shit, isn't it?
It will have much better British IPs like Paddington and Lord of the Rings
Same with the struggles of every minority, actually.
I haven’t been back in years and I plan to continue the streak.
Does this include the new Fantastic Beasts section in Universal Epic Universe as well? Because, as far as I'm aware, that franchise is a spin-off.
Her Tortall books start with Alanna, who switches places with her twin brother to go be a Page and train up to be a Knight. (He's happy to go do books & magic instead, sending "Alan" in his place.)

HOWEVER... Since she turned an evil bitch (or let the mask fall, IDK) I've steered clear of anything that woman touches or creates...
i wonder how tough a Discworld theme park would be to pull off...
