I knew it. I can't believe it's happening. Why didn't you tell me?

very annoying that every general statement about sexism has to be softened with not all men like if you can't discern that we're talking about the societal structures at play and not every single man on a personal level i don't know what to tell you

when I was younger I always thought I was cool because I never had a “boy crazy” phase. turns out I was just a lesbian the whole time. life is funny like that.

With the announcement of the Harry Potter TV series, you will be made aware of the people in your social circle who are excited about it.

Now is a good time to stop knowing them.

The play here is fairly blatant.

Friendly reminder that JK Rowling is the executive producer for this show. So in addition to benefiting monetarily from its very existence, she will be an active participant in creating its narrative. I won't be watching it and I encourage everyone else to ignore its existence as well.

In case there was any doubt, if I see anyone posting content about this show (other than telling people to ignore its existence) they'll be getting blocked.

i'm so tired of critical takes about jkr that still take the time to reassure fans that their nostalgia for the series is still valid or whatever. i'd think your complicated feelings about a children's fantasy franchise would be an unspeakably minor priority compared to that threat of actual genocide that trans and jewish people are facing, but sure yeah it's fine that you still like butter beer and fantasize about playing quiddich

i'm not even gonna do the performative thing and pretend that i think harry potter was always bad; i loved the series growing up. it's a fun children's fantasy series. but i moved on. i divested, and you can too. it's so easy to not play a video game. there are other fanasy franchises you can consume guilt free. it's ridiculous to have this much of your identity invested in a fucking brand, even if it wasn't a brand that supports bigotry and genocide rhetoric

i think what i hate most is the fucking insecurity. the constant need for validation from us that it's ok to still want to play wizard game. the indignation that someone dared ask you to inconvenience yourself in the name of solidarity to some of the most critically vulnerable people in society rn

stop making excuses for playing hogwarts legacy.

“the people who worked on the game need to be supported tho 🥺”

the people who worked on the game already got their cut and went home. your money is just going towards jkr and the corporation

“but harry potter was my childhood 🥺”

same. but this isn’t revisiting old media. this is an entirely new product. and you’re allowed to grow out of things and move on when the dead horse gets beaten and your media literacy skills improve.

“but i pirated it 🥺”

good for you. was it worth it? is it a fantastic game? is oppressing jews goblins such a delight you’re willing to break the law over it?

“can’t you just let me have fun? 🥺”

if playing a game made by a racist, transphobic, anti-semitic, fatphobic bigot where the entire plot is to defeat the jews goblins because of white wizard supremacy is fun to you then i think you might need to seriously consider why.

if you are playing hogwarts legacy and/or supporting it online you are choosing to value a video game over the lives of jewish and trans people. you are allying yourself against jewish and trans people. if people hate you for choosing a video game over human lives you have no grounds to be upset.

sometimes doing good things and being an ally is difficult. sometimes it means not doing something that you wanted to do. it’s sucks but that’s life. get over it and shut up.
