So, if you are pro-fiction, does that mean you believe people are allowed to enjoy creations of bad people like Harry Potter of J. K. Rowling? I'm just hearing from every corner takes like "If you watch the Harry Potter remake, you're a horrible person and anti-human rights". Do you agree with that?
Besides the fact that I'm not in charge of deciding what people are or aren't ALLOWED to do, J.K. Rowling is a case that gets constantly mischaracterized as "Is it okay to enjoy her work when she's saying awful things all the time and has a pattern of mishandling the topic of male victims of abuse in said work?" when the focus should be "This bitch has repeatedly shown she's either enabling sex offenders or is one herself"
She has shared up-skirt pictures taken of strangers that were minding their business in buses and stores, aka public spaces, with the excuse of "protecting people" by identifying who was or wasn't trans. She keeps pushing for laws that describe rape as a crime always done by a man to a woman. She sent flowers to Marilyn Manson, a guy with a long history of well-documented abusive behavior, and invited JEFFREY EPSTEIN (who had already been exposed as a pedophile) to the premiere of the Cursed Child play.
She's not even trying to be discrete about her creepiness or her willingness to keep taking it to the next level. Her "radical feminism" and all the transphobia that comes with it are just her excuses, to herself and others, as to why she should be allowed to try and see people's genitals without permission, and share pictures of it with her fellow perverts.
This is not a Lovecraft situation of "Yeah, he believed some fucked up shit, but he's been dead a long time, it's not like he can hurt anybody" or a "She said some racist thing TODAY, do we boycot her work?"
Rowling is openly perving on people and trying to befriend predators (including someone who had a pedo ring), and she's being allowed to be near children regardless, in a position of power no less, since she's the writer of the books their show is adapting.
She's not Lovecraft, she's a Dan Schneider or Joss Whedon type. The problem here is not "Is bad to still like Harry Potter?" but rather "She's clearly getting bold now that she feels untouchable and it can only get worse from here. Check her devices NOW."
Make sure the creep can't hurt anybody, THEN you guys (not me, I cannot be bothered with this mediocre, overrated franchise anymore) can discuss her work, it's problems, it's merits, what things were her awful personality slipping into the text VS what is just a poor narrative choice, etc. Put out the fire before trying to see what can be salvaged.
