I haven't purchased a HP item in close to a decade - I use the books I already had as doorstops or to prop a laptop up for meetings nowadays.

There is NO "death of the author" with JK Rowling - she controls and continues to profit from her IP, and uses that money to fund hate groups.

Here's your periodic reminder of why it's so important not to buy any Harry Potter merch or watch anything JKR profits from.

It isn't about cancelling problematic media, idgaf. We're capable of reading books we already own with a critical eye.

It's about not giving more power to someone who is using it to materially harm our community.

Being on Tumblr from ten years ago until now and seeing how it's aged is so funny. When I first got here everything was like "haha lol so random, superwholock, taquitos, tumblr university!" but today I just scrolled past three different memes about tax season

You know what really fucking Annoys Me about internet censorship is stuff like swear words being heavily censored because that's entirely an American cultural hangup being forced on the rest of us. I don't know a single country where swearing is as taboo as it is in America. In fact most languages have swear words that would have the same effect on an American as giving a Victorian chimney sweep a pepsi max cherry.

Demonitizing Irish people's videos for having swear words in them is a kind of hate crime and psychological torture I think.

I'm not normally this petty, but wtf is this

Advertising it by basically being like "You get exposure," (which if this is for people who prefer listening over reading how would that work out??), "and I get increased exposure and money out of your work which it isn't legal to monetise"

And then to have the GALL to say "appreciate your cooperation" which sounds a lot to me like it's gonna happen anyway and "reply at your earliest convenience with permission"!? Not even with your decision but assuming my permission!?

This is the same asshole who stole my stuff tons of times. He’s a grade-A dick. It is a little bit funny that he used to tell me how much he could get away with it and now has to resort to begging in people’s comments though. He’s already sent me this twice.
