For me the waking up call was the Hogwarts Legacy game.
This is definitely not a completely trustable source, but
Breaking down the numbers:
License Fee: Warner Bros. reportedly paid a large upfront license fee to JK Rowling to develop the game, which is estimated to be in the range of $50 million to $75 million.
Royalties: Rowling will also receive 5-10% royalties on the game’s net profits. If the game generates $100 million in net profits, she’ll earn an additional $5 million to $10 million.

These numbers exist because HP stays relevant in the popular culture. It will probably be similar if not more for the upcoming HP series.
If that was the case the consequence for me tbh would be to leave and block any community dedicated to the franchise.
I’m actually trying to mostly bring awareness about JKR issues nowadays. It’s fine to also just completely block the franchise.

It’s important to highlight JRK criticism, but having that in the local feed of the queer instance isn’t probably the best place to have it.
Another instance would be better, as it allows users from Blahaj who are interested to subscribe, while others don’t have to see it by default in their local feed.

Good point about the lemmy.zip staff, looking forward their answer.
News and criticism about JK Rowling is part of the HP fan discourse. I’ve been told to “fuck off” like I’m an outsider, like I don’t belong in the fandom because I think discussion of JK Rowling’s bigotry is more important than her stories.
Same here, and I agree with you.
the existence of that community will only be used as an excuse to push Rowling criticism away from where it needs to be seen; by people actively consuming HP content.
They wouldn’t be able to do so, as criticism would still be allowed here. To be fair, I don’t expect a JKR only community to really get off.

Sometimes it’s a bit rough getting this kind of comments. We don’t write the headlines, but we post the articles and read the comments.
It seems like you didn’t mean any harm to the OP, but I’ve been in situations where it was the case.

Looks good to me as it allows people to grow the community they prefer.
Not sure about [email protected] as Blahaj admin’s previously stated they wouldn’t be comfortable hosting a JKR community, but worst case scenario even with just [email protected] and [email protected] that should be enough.
Edit: just discussed with Ada, she’s fine hosting a Rowling critical group, but wouldn’t want to host a group that supports her or her work though

This post votes ratio is positive (41 upvotes / 12 downvotes)
The other one about Nick Frost has 55 upvotes and 4 downvotes.
it would probably be a good idea to give mod to someone who actually wants to see the community thrive.
It would probably also be a good idea to wait for the instance admin’s feedback. Which is what we are doing now.
