Theoretically, would it be fine if someone liked Harry Potter, but never paid for any of it? If they pirated everything digital, bought second-hand books or merch, and never talked about it being good?
Not suggesting anything, because I’m not even a HP fan. Just curious what you guys think here. Might have been discussed already, but I haven’t seen it.
Only if they never talk about it with anyone so as to not cause other people to spend money instead. JKR and her work being promoted in society is inherently bad for trans people.
Sure, that’s probably fine. But on the other hand, why not try any of the vastly better stories about a magical world to be obsessed with?
It is ok to let go of something you used to love. It is ok to let go of something you still love. It will be sad and maybe even uncomfortable. but if you learn and know that this thing you love is hurting other people, you need do decide what you value more; peoples right to self-actualization and be their authentic selves, or your own comfort and entertainment.
(I used a lot of “you” and “your”, but I want to stress I used those in a general sense, not directing this towards you specifically)
