Thank you for addressing my concerns. It was always about the related individuals and not about JKR herself.
So if they are complicit, to what degree?
Handing a murderer a knife is a different situation if the one doing that knows or believes them to be a murderer vs. neither of those.

Beautiful art deco theatre!

Obviously if someone makes money on X then they can spend it on any kind of Y.
That wasn’t my question.
My question was why does anyone believe she is correctly knowing the beliefs of her consumers?
I’m not sure how else to restate this so people stop jumping to every other issue with her.

Ok I understand from what you posted that you do agree with JKR that her consumers endorse her views.
I haven’t heard a response yet from the initial question @jimbosaur.bsky.social

Whether or not JKR is right about direct public endorsement of her views by spending their money on the IP.

That’s not what I asked.

I already did, it’s in the thread.

It’s not difficult, and it’s also not difficult to discuss the situation at length.

Battlestar Galactica, much better dramatic pacing, epic stakes, epic warfare.
The Expanse, couldn’t get through season 1. Its like if The Phantom Menace was made into a mini series about the Trade Federation and thr Senate.

Also, sorry I don’t even recall “Jonathan’s” comment, it was just needlessly antagonistic.

Agreed. That was my point. Its immaterial so there’s no need to mention her view of her consumers beliefs.
comment in response to
post
That assumes millions of people look this stuff up on the internet. These are children’s books, so its doubtful. Consumer surveys over decades reveal an unexamined decision making process.

Right, my question was why believe that she is correct about her consumers’ beliefs?
Personally, I doubt that she is correct but also believe its immaterial regardless. So bringing it up is needlessly distracting.

So if I read you right-
We should recognize her as an authority on the beliefs of her consumers…
Because her money managed to influence the UK supreme court against trans people?

Disagreeing with her based on accuracy or for your own agenda is the distinction I was trying to discern. Now I know, thanks for clarifying.
comment in response to
post
I guess I did then. Your initial reply was just stating how she interprets the views of her consumers. I read your reply as your agreement of her assessment.

Oh shit really? Did not know that. Seems a bit overkill. ☢️

Really looking forward to that. Unfortunately audiences have ruined theatres for me so will have to wait for streaming.
At least my last experience was Blade Runner 2049 in IMAX.

There’s a difference between good faith discussion and whining. Calm down.

See my response to Jonathan above.

By that logic, the people who contributed to the IP are horrible people. I understand the point.

post
So you’ve decided to reject discussion of it in favor of an end goal, regardless of if you agree or not?

I appreciate acknowledging “no ethical consumption under capitalism” but following the effect of that part is exactly where short-form social media fails.

It’s one thing for you to claim that her consumers are complicit. It’s another to cite her as evidence of that. Do you believe she has evidence to back up her claims?
comment in response to

You are essentially agreeing with her assessment of complicity of consumers of her works. Why?
comment in response to
post
You didn’t answer my question though. Why give her creedence on this topic?
comment in response to
post
What’s your point?
That doesn’t mean that she is right. Why give her creedence on this topic alone?
If one knows nothing about HP except what they read or watched then how does that matter?

The original layout of Arkham Island.
The gruesome cemetery discoveries - nearly half of the original level - were eventually substituted with an objective in the asylum basement.
The co-op objectives were designed to allow players to split up, classic horror trope, to complete them separately.

Obi wan did say in that film that they were “clumsy and random”. Essentially a sawed-off shotgun.

Pretty sure that at that moment she was remembering that she had to do her laundry.

Reference for the arena #blockout of the reservoir pumping station.
#gamedev (and action movies) love industrial settings - contrived #leveldesign for gameplay are more easily justified/obfuscated by the complexities of the source inspirations.
Used 80% vanilla UE shape meshes + proxies .
