It's not just to have a "do over" that doesn't involve the original cast, it's to cut them out of the royalties. Literally the entire point is to make sure all the money made by Harry Potter goes to transphobes or people willing to work with transphobes.
If you watch it, you are supporting bigotry, hate, and oppression. That's just objective reality. All for a story that you probably have already seen in movie and book form.
#the last point is especially true since the old cast receives royalties for anything with their likeness on it#meaning the original trio still gets money for every mug with their 14 year old faces on it#if they stop making those and replace them with the new cast which they will the old cast gets cut off completely#which is again exactly what rowling wants because she cannot stand those 'ungrateful brats' as she would likely put it#and as she has last say in anything that gets made in harry potter paraphernalia this might also explain the decrease in faces on products
There's people in the notes saying they're going to watch it anyway, and you know, I understand how you can start feeling so burned out and numb from the world that it may feel too hard to avoid things that will give you a little immediate relief in some way in order to avoid the long-term impact of funding these things.
But. If you can't bring yourself to avoid watching it, you better at least fucking pirate it.

Spain has an excellent series about a magic school right now, above you can see how to help it get out in English. Malin Falch who's also above is planning one. There's also ćććć®ćć㦠(Hibiki's Magic, needs a new English publisher) andćØćććåø½åć®ć¢ććŖćØ (Witch Hat Atelier) from Japan. There's plenty of magic school series from around the world that actually deserve your attention. If you need such a series in your life, are there plenty to choose from. Maybe you won't find the exact kind of characters in them, but maybe you can find them in another story. Need a chosen one with a distinguished trait, a bookworm, and someone who is smarter than others think? Go for Phenomena. A sadistic teacher and a charismatic bully? Go to Edelmot. Etc. Don't cling to just one series!

Seriously. I'm starting to block y'all on sight it has been quite long enough of a campaign to get you weaned off this terf's books and shows (and now games!)
Friendly reminder to suggest any foreign stories you may find interesting into Seven Seas Entertainment's survey (on top of the PC page and near the footer of the mobile page) or any publisher survey you may know about.
Including to Royalty Witchesš above do I recommend:
(I recommend writing [book] by [author] or pasting the urls to make them easier to find. Those marked with š are "regular" novels, those marked with šØļø are comics/graphic novels)
Phenomena by Ruben Eliassen. Started coming out in the same time as hp but doesn't have its flaws (casual racism for example). The heroine is an aroace lesbian elf with frost powers, this in the "boyfriend of the week" in many tv-shows. The story is about her and her twin brother being chosen to save their people from slavery, how much of a burden this is when put onto children, and their growth from 10 to 17. The author has promised to add a non-binary character to book 9 (as of book 8 he's self-publishing. His abusive ex has given him a lot of debt, so please support him! He and the story are amazing!)š
Dragens Ćye by Cha SandmƦl/@cha-c-san. Non-binary author and non-binary main character. Aside from what's mentioned in the link, they later get a buff girlfriend. There's also gay and bi characters. šØļø
Ville Poter by Victor Nordal. Trans author and those foxes are gay. šØļø
MiniMonsters and Dinokid by David RamĆrez. A mlm comic artist who who posts lots of trans support things. MiniMonsters is about the shenanigans of a group of monster kids. Dinokid is about some kids gaining the abilities to transform into various creatures, one of them gains the ability to turn into whoever the kid wants, and choses to become a girl, she's instantly accepted.šØļø
Soluna by Camilla DahlstrĆøm. One of the main characters is a gay ace trans man and his sister is arobi. šØļø
MĆørkalven by Helen Kaldheim/@helipeach. Has 2 trans characters, one of them a main character.šØļø
Edelmot by Victor Sotberg and Odin Helgheim (RagnarokšØļø by Helgheim is even better in my opinion but this is about stories with lgbtqia+ characters, Ragnarok has no focus on romance so who knows). The main character is bi and gets a boyfriend in the second volume, they even kiss šØļø
IS - Otoko Demo Onna Demo Nai Sei (IS ē·ć§ć儳ć§ććŖćę§) by Chiyo Rokuhana. About intersex people. The first volume is a anthology but the rest is about Hoshino Haru, who is trans masculine and eventually falls in love with a guy (and no "falling for him makes me feel like a girl"), and he meets many different intersex people who feel different about it. šØļø
Forbi Stjernenes Port* by Benedicte Luane Kristensen and Sam Einar Engh Syftestad. Syftestad is non-binary and the heroines are implied to be crushing on each other, and some of the characters also appear to be poly. As the website isn't translated, the story is about Paprika who finds an alien who crashed onto her planet and brings her home. The alien Kabaiel is there to find the starry gates to find an energy source to save her planet. It's an adorable sci-fi! šØļø
Goshiki no Fune (äŗč²ć®č¹) by Yasumi Tsuhara. Alternative universe set during WW2. About a group of 5 "freaks" who put on freakshows to earn for a living. One of them is a trans woman who had to have both of her legs amputated due to gangrene. Their love for each other and their conflicting pride for the attention yet shame they try hiding even from themselves. š
Saiki Kusuo no Ļ nan (ęęØę„ éć®ĪØé£) by ShÅ«ichi AsÅ. the anime is translated, not the manga. The protagonist claims he was going to be born a girl but that felt wrong and swapped into a boy with his tremendous psychic powers. He's also strongly implied to be aroace, despite what parts of the fandom might tell you. šØļø
Sket Dance by Kenta Shinohara. (for some reason they didn't renew it for the new website. Like with Saiki above, the anime is translated but not the manga and the anime isn't finished) A trans boy appears near the end and they accept him with open arms. If anything is he one of the more "normal" kids overall. šØļø
* same editor contact person as most of the others, like Dragens Ćye, but for some reason not on that website.
Already out:
Hunter Ć Hunter (a main character's little sister is trans and he loves her just as she is)
Dr. Stone (a character has unspecified gender and their boss is proudly bi/pan)
Gintama (needs a new and more accurate/respectful translation**, many gay characters and some trans, maybe a little crude by American people, but beloved by the lgbtqia+ community in Japan)
Boys Run the Riot (made by a trans man. About a trans boy's journey to self-acceptance and he befriends an X-gender who realises they're bi after thinking they're only attracted men)
Our Dreams at Dusk: Shimanami Tasogare (author is X-gender and is about a group of lgbtqia+ people hanging out together)
Claudine (was as respectful and caring as a story from the 70s a few years after Japan's trans ban could be. It's a tragedy, so be warned)
Is Love the Answer (about an aroace young woman who who realizes that they might be x-gender)
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (charming RPG and one of Mario's partners is a trans girl, they accept that part of her straight away)
Zombie Land Saga (funny dark comedy, but one of the girls being trans is treated seriously and respectfully)
A trailer for anyone curious. There's probably a recording out there somewhere, would probably sub it if I find it. In order of appearance:
Shere Khan
Rama and baby Mowgli
Mowgli
The wolf pack
Baloo (the "gym teacher" with boxing gloves) and I don't remember
The wolves and Baloo
Baloo and I don't remember, could be Tabaqui given scavengers keep the world clean
The monkeys (dressed and acting like soss (the 1st one), I honestly don't remember if Baloo cross dresses in this one). The main 2 are called Candy and Dandy, so they call Mowgli Mandy.
Baloo
The bride from Kill Bill Kaa
Mowgli struggling with picking up the gun like in the end of the book
Mowgli shooting in the air scaring his pack away, leading to honestly the coolest part of the play, he accepts being human by walking into the audience and up the armrests and disappearing into the crowd.
Bagheera doesn't make an appearance as it's a plot twist kind of. "oh look a sexy lady! Whoops! The sexy lady is Bagheera!"
I just had a big fight with my mom. I'm just so tired of her trying to force me into the cishet mold. I've told her multiple times that just the thought of romance stuff makes me queasy, and yet "you aren't asexual, because I decide that you crushed on your guy friends". Please stop. I'm not into those things. Everyone tries forcing me into what they want to be over what I want. It just hurts honestly. I'm just tired, of everything. The wars, being financially tied to my abusive father. Not good enough for anything. If I say "should I make that for lunch/dinner/etc. She always says no, then she likes it anyway. That I have things I have to do don't matter, it's her thoughts on them that doo. I'm just so tired of everything. Everything I am just feels... Insignificant. Because what people decide me to be is more important for them. My brother supports the dump truck and the other day he said "with your hobbies, if you dress prettier and become a better housewife, all the boys will run after you". I almost threw up. What I want doesn't matter to them. He pushes his dog on me, and while he's a sweetie, sometimes, it's impossible to tidy with him "helping" but I'm expected to do everything and be okay with it because "it's my mother looking after him", but I'm the one who has to do everything, make his food, get water, walk him, clean up if anything happens. I can't make my own plans because then I'm supposedly selfish.

Sinners: "when trashahime was announced, a framed print of Rin and $ā¬$$ (and Inuyasha maybe to illustrate family) but this isn't about him) was released to released for a limited time! Stupid Kagura doesn't have any merch of her and $ā¬$$, so they're not canon at all! ".
Let's turn that around and look at Rin merch where she isn't alone:
1 with $ā¬$$, she tries giving him food like in her debut, he doesn't even look at her. It was released in November 2020 to build hype, yet nothing teasing the ship really. And $ā¬$$ doesn't eat the food she gives him, so it's more of having him part of a set that doesn't make much sense for him to be in so his fans will buy from it.
1 also from 2020, the one she admires is... Jaken? As usual, $ā¬$$ is also on his own.
From December 2022, after it flopped. Rin in the closest to a shipping badge in the set along with Kohaku, although Sango and Miroku are a pair telling a story. But compared to her "canon" $ā¬$$ earlier, the two blush slightly and have eye contact.
From the same time, Rin with Jaken again, hiding behind him and while you could put $ā¬$$ in front so he's protecting them, she looks away unless she's protecting jaken pushing him out of the way. But no blush.
But while ½ have color scheme based on the manga, and 2 based on the anime (you can see it at first glance with $ā¬$$'s sleeves being purple instead of red, Sango's armour being floral instead of solid coral pink, and Kohaku's armor having a wavy pattern rather than solid amber color. The copyrights are also to Takahashi herself and Shueisha/ShoPro, while anime merch also is copyright to sunrise although it'll probably move over to Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. So if you want to keep boycotting them, that's how. Yes, these are mostly all based on the manga these days, but not drawn by Takahashi herself. What about merch she has actually drawn the art on herself? Well, recently Meqri started selling Inuyasha merch with panels from the manga itself, and on the long sleeve tees all the main ships are represented. Let's see shall we?
2 of the main ship. I wish the illustration was bigger and the second one another color as I hardly wear yellow (anymore). But the dark grey one is still really cool.
The second is of a ship I don't really like as I hate the guy in it, but for those who like them together I guess it's cute. Kinda reminds me of TheJewker's lewd emote. And drumroll please...
Wait, that isn't Rin, what's going on?! Joking aside, kagusess is canon baby!
For those wanting to see the rest of the badges to make your own comparisons:
Yup, from this graphic novel! If you want it to come out in English can you suggest it in the survey over at Seven Seas Entertainment.
I don't know if it shares title with anything, but just in case can you suggest it as [Soluna by Camilla DahlstrĆøm], it's a graphic novel. And if you could please do me a favor, suggest [Phenomena by Ruben Eliassen] as one of the novels. It's one of my favorite book series and one of the main characters are an aroace lesbian. Norway has started to forget it and it's not printed as often anymore, so I don't want it to get forgotten..!
That's awesome!! I'm aroace but I don't think I personally have anything more, but I'm glad Ilke can keep spreading joy! She's one of my childhood heroes!
^that's her (drawn by the author)
I remember being scared she was going to be forced together with an older guy when she saved him. As when girls interacted with guys other than their family in many stories meant that they most likely got together. But they never do! He ends up with one of her friends and stays an older brother figure to her for the rest of the series! I sent an email to the author asking, and he said that he was surprised that finally someone saw the signs and that, yes she's an aroace lesbian, and falling in love is more her twin brother's thing. (yup Phenomena somehow is also about twins)
^ her saving her older guy friend (drawn by another guy for a spin-off series)
I'll do my best not spoiling too much and I hope it'll finally get licensed in English soon, after 22 years of waiting..!

Theyāre trying to erase the existence of the rape victims of Japanese soldiers in World War II because they think the reminder of their crimes might make Japan a little bit cross
Duterte, the absolute coward, is more worried about women criticizing him than actually honoring the women this country needs to remember
I hate intruding this post like this, but I'm afraid to look at the comments and see many attack Japanese civilians about what happened and curse the current population because of it. But to avoid American soldiers doing the same the Japanese government forced teens and the few adults they had left (remember that Japan was known as the land of orphans after the war) to work as so-called pan-pan girls (article about them here) that walked into American camps and groups at night to "willingly" sleep with them in order to keep children and upper-class girls and women safe. Maybe there was a point in all this? Who knows. One thing is certain about that war and one thing only, nothing of this should have happened, but the same could be said for any war really. What the Japanese army did was wrong, shouldn't have happened and that the Japanese government denies it and refuses to educate the population about it is wrong, but hating every single Japanese person over it is not the solution either.

Many like to forget that Marx never worked a day in his life. He lived with a friend he shared his ideals with and they leeched off the friend's father until he worked himself to death, then the friend had to work and Marx continued to leech off him.
Iāve been using these two characters as shorthand for the US and Europe for years and Iāve been wondering if there are any equivalents for other parts of the world? I know about the African Union, ASEAN, Union of South American Nations and the Arab League.
Is there for example some kind of Native American union with their own flag or logo the same way the different Sami people have their own collective flag?
And before you express any worry about that, characters based on unions arenāt meant to dismiss or erase the individual countries or groups. Itās just so I donāt have to draw 10 characters when a collection of countries have an opinion or are affected by something. Thatās why Iāll sometimes use King Europe and sometimes France and Spain for example.
So this is just me asking if there are any unions you feel I should know about.
