    I kind of hate to have to say this, but its ok to still like the stories. If you have to buy them, buy used, otherwise pirate. I can’t possibly be the only one who was launched headfirst into allyship by the HP fandom and the more people that happens to the better. As always, JK can go fuck herself.

      I’m conflicted when her movies enter the libraries of streaming services. I’m not sure how exactly they get monetized and how much of a difference one watch makes. I watched Fantastic Beasts. Newt Scamander is a cute character. But I watched it with my parents, who would’ve watched it anyways.

      I own Hagwarts Legacy, I got it somewhere for free. They probably get some compensation for freebies, but I wouldn’t expect that to be determined by the exact amount of gifted titles either. I never played it.

        Nobody should be using any of the big streaming services anyways just because they’re evil in their own right. Just pirate HP stuff if you want to watch it.

      It’s not just about enjoying the stories though. It’s more about buying more and more merch, running promo with your house scarf and that stuff. It’s about.claiming to be an ally while still giving her money that she proudly funnels into hate campaigns.

        In my opinion, even talking about the licence itself is giving her free publicity and indirect money. HP should be forgotten until she dies.
