Hey there, I’m a mod of c/traa and was recently called out for saying JK Rowling is transphobic and buying the Hogwarts game is a bad idea. I was told that the ‘actual trans people with sense’ are here and agree that playing the Hogwarts game is fine, and so is giving money to a transphobe billionaire. This ally of trans rights (and instance admin of a large server that isnt blahaj or hexbear) of course seems to vehemently disagree.

So, as a question, do you agree with giving money in any way to JK Rowling? Do you agree with supporting Harry Potter as a franchise? 🤓 I have a feeling I already know the answer to this, but I figure yall might find this whole thing amusing

    I dunno, people grew up with it and have fond memories of it they don’t want completely ruined? It’s honestly not fun being around people who point out every single issue with something, you know? Like, you’re not wrong, but that doesn’t mean it’s appropriate. That’s why I don’t really care if someone pirates it. Life is bullshit and, in my experience, there is nothing good about it and I really wish they’d asked me before they decided to give me life because I probably would have said no thank you.

    So personally, I’m gonna try to let people enjoy what they want to enjoy so long as it isn’t affecting others if it means they can suffer a little bit less.
