"it& #39;s just following, it& #39;s not hurting anyone" (as I imagine someone might be thinking)

following legitimizes platform. most of you I bet unfollowed authors in our community recently shown to be problematic and abusive. why not JKR? do you not see her as problematic/abusive? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht">

hey everyone, please stop trying to defend the "hate following", it& #39;s pretty steeped in privilege. I& #39;m sure a lot of cis folks are able to follow JKR to keep a tabs on how hurtful she is. I don& #39;t know many trans and enby ppl who can stomach doing that.

I& #39;m gonna go ahead and speak for myself when I say: I really don& #39;t care if you& #39;re hate following her. it still hurts me, tbqh, bc you& #39;re still putting your own desire to watch (for what? why? entertainment?) over the fact that you are legitimizing a harmful, painful platform.

as for "I don& #39;t know I& #39;m following her", that& #39;s the only excuse that I& #39;ll accept at this point because I& #39;d have to spend way too much time unfollowing many, many mutuals. but, it isn& #39;t that hard to check if you& #39;re following her and click that "unfollow" button.

I don& #39;t want to go into how harmful she is again. I wrote about it here: https://www.them.us/story/kacen-callender-op-ed-jk-rowling

and">https://www.them.us/story/kac... there are countless other resources documenting what a pos she is.
