I'm tired of everyone constantly finding new evidence that JK is "really" proving herself awful "this time," and then saying things like "this fictional character wrote Harry Potter" or "Harry Potter would stand against her" or "at least we have the Good Fandom and Good Fanfic"
Frankly I don't think there's any amount of "inclusive" fanfic or separating the art from the artist that is worth having to see the hoops that cis people will jump through to avoid causing themselves any discomfort in their allyship! Maybe that's just me!
I know we all have Complex Meaningful relationships to the media we grew up with and saying goodbye to it can hurt, but making excuses for why you can keep liking something when the author is promoting ideas that kill people is... really indicative of where your allegiance lies
No matter how many times you make Harry a poc or Jewish or trans, it doesn't change the fact that a hateful woman with a huge amount of money and public good faith is empowering a new generation of bigots. It doesn't stop her from being quoted in legislation designed to harm us.
Frankly being like "THIS is the final straw, THIS is the proof we shouldn't like her" also ignores her past of demonising Jewish people, poor people, people with AIDs, gay people, how incredibly RACIST she is, and that her hatred of trans people has been evident for many years.
I hate to break it to you but life goes on! Harry Potter is a boarding school story, and it's time to grow up and graduate. Go read some Ursula LeGuin or something. At least her wizards don't grow up to become cops!
