do you live in a capitalistic society? do you criticize anything at all, ever? do you consume literally anything? thank you for also being “ideologically inconsistent”
I think you are missing the point in the heat of the discussion. The point is that you make quite far logic jumps from “I like Harry Potter (because I read the book when I was a kid, because of…whatever)” to “I am a bigot (because the author 20 years later went bananas)”. You are making these jumps for other people, but people are trying to show that this logic has only one logical conclusion: everything you do is wrong. However, the inconsistency is in not applying this logic to everything but selectively.
It’s really easy to just give something up when it has no impact on your health. If this were something that had decent support communities, it’d be one thing, but even long time fans that organized relating to HP (the quidditch league) have since dropped anything to do with her or the intellectual property. If people profiting from the series can drop it over JK, so can you. I literally understand people going to chik-fil-a more readily than I understand people who enjoy HP over any other fantasy author, particularly when there’s good high fantasy and modern fantasy all over the place now. Not to mention, the HP fanbase can’t even take criticism.
Homestuck fans are literally more reasonable. Please, read some Jim Butcher (the Dresden Files). It has been well over 20 years since wizard rock, and the hate has been spewing from rowling’s mouth for over a decade. You are clinging to a series that people want nothing to do with on a large scale out of allegiance to a children’s novel, full of ideas you claim you don’t support but you will argue with people for criticizing, written by an actual lunatic. It’s unconscionable.
You’ve been told throughout the thread that it makes people uncomfortable when someone talks about harry. Every time, you’ve doubled down and gone full middle school debate club, pretty much showing everyone who said so they were right. Hell, some of these people were replying to someone else and you felt the need to jump in and defend the world of spells conceived in one look at a latin dictionary. Some of the least interesting magic ever written, and you’re not even involved, and at the drop of a hat you’ll defend it.
You may not be a bigot but you railroad arguments like one, your ethics are confused, your “seperate the artist” line of thinking works a lot better when the artist is dead and not constantly feeding a hate machine with money. Hell, every time a new licensed harry potter product comes out, idiots like you are INSISTING that rowling will get no funds from “muh royalties” despite her getting estate getting equity in the product.
Also, for the love of everything, stop using the word “Logic”. You clearly haven’t studied Aristotelean or Socratic logic, and you sound like a 4chan regular. Great way to defend your beloved series.
There are critiques to be made, that is very clear.
But just lumping everyone into the bigot pile because the author of one of the most beloved children’s stories decided to lose her mind 15 years afterwards is kind of a bad idea, no?
I think its pretty safe to say youre just being prejudiced.
You’ll find most are particularly unconcerned about your fervent desire to shout into the Internet void. We’re not going to get used to it because we really don’t care.
i don’t like the rolling stones or any of that other shit, but you make a good point. literally everything we do is immoral.
the thing is, i’m still going to shit on rowling and harry potter. YOU better get used to it
Lol, then thanks for spreading hatred in an unjust system?
That’s super cool of you.
Youre using Lemmy right now, a system created by an unabashed tankie.
Congrats on the genocide support you fascist.
/s
yea. and i live in america. so i guess you’ll also say i “support genocide” too right?
If im using your logic, yes.
But im not. You are.
what is the goal here? to get me to stop criticizing rowling? um, no.
yes, it’s likely you’re going to find some asshole in the group of people who created the thing you’re consuming.
but also: fuck j.k. rowling, and fuck harry potter
i don’t know what else to tell you
Just trying to point how ideologically inconsistent you are.
I dont know what else to tell you.

and yet…you reply
Because I’m an avid shit poster that can’t resist low hanging fruit.
fair enough. don’t forget: fuck j.k. rowling
