I’m not here to tell you how to consume media or how to feel.

But I will say being an ally means listening to those who are directly affected, and not making it about yourself.

Understand that if you choose to purchase and especially stream HP, you are complicit

1/6

Im also not saying that by enjoying the HP universe you are a terrible person. We were literal children and we didn’t know. Those books did help a lot of us, and that’s okay. You can still love the series. The author being ass doesn’t erase your childhood, or make it shameful 2/6

But now you are adults. And we do know better. JKR actively hates and campaigns against our trans friends. She gains influence and wealth from the purchase and talk of anything HP.

If you *must* play this game, wait and buy it secondhand.

BUT PLEASE DO NOT STREAM IT

3/6

Even if you purchased it secondhand, streaming this game increases JKRs power. It keeps her relevant and gives her more power to hurt others.

You should know how valuable your stream is. Companies will literally pay to put an ad on your stream. Don’t give it to her for free

4/6

I’ve seen people say they’ll donate any money they spend/make to Trans Orgs.

I don’t know if that’s the answer. Is $1 to JKR the same as $1 to charity?AND AGAIN if you’re streaming, know you may be enticing others to buy and then what? Will you donate that money too?

5/6

Im not here to tell you what to do

Know that you are complicit in fueling hate/pain

Know that trans people ask you not to support it

Know that if you buy and give $ to charity, you are doing that for your own conscience. And if you have to do that, should you be buying it? 6/6
