    Brother, it’s Harry Potter which is not exactly a thing you can’t live without lmfao

    You’re making it sound like they’re asking you to give up breathing

      I can choose what I can and cannot live without. Without your insane judgment and ideas off a single situation. But alas. Nuance is lost on modern society.

        Nuance? Nuance is not to jump to conclusions about the entire trans community and the “insane judgement” of anyone who disagrees with you. You’re making all kinds of assumptions and not demonstrating much ability with nuance so far.

            Do you… not know what the word generalize means? It’s to take something specific - like, say, the interaction you’re describing - and use it to infer the general characteristics of an entire community. To reduce an entire group of people to your anecdotes of individuals.

              I understand you think my single comment I mentioned is my only experience with this reaction in your community. But that’s just naive and rude to assume id generalize in that fashion. This is consistent behaviour from the community towards this fandom.

              But I’m the one generalizing. Lol.

                That’s… literally the definition of generalizing. As if an entire demographic could be reduced and characterized by your interactions online about a children’s book series.

                Ohhh, you’re just a transphobe using this as an excuse to soapbox. Cool. Cool cool cool. Nuanced. Totally. Go touch grass and get a life.

                    I’m serious. Make sure you take some time to go outside. Take a breath of fresh air. Look at some trees, watch the leaves rustle in the wind. Take off your shoes, and feel the blades of grass beneath your feet. Feel the warmth of the sun on your face. Your life doesn’t have to be this way.

                    You don’t need to insult an entire group of minorities based on your meaningless conversations with faceless strangers - most of whom are almost certainly not trans themselves - about a children’s book series on the internet.

                    I think this has nothing to do with stories about wizards. I think you just enjoy hate.

        Saying “I can’t live without Harry Potter”, that’s hyperbole. Or if you’re serious, it’s just funny.

        The argument is that funding Harry Potter directly funds JJ Rowling - whom then proudly and openly uses her wealth to pay for campaigns to enact anti-trans legislation and pays suppot to regressive anti-LGBTQ groups. Its a boycott.

        People are justified in judging those who know this yet continue to support Rowling’s products monetarily or act in them as LGBT hostile.

        From all the online back and forth I’ve seen though, few care if you pirate them therefore denying monetary support <- that’s nuance.

          Upon re reading it does come off that way but I was using the previous commentarys language towards it not being serious that I couldn’t live without it. Apologies lol

            Ah, all good. I didn’t downvote either way, just commented to try to make sense of the discussion. Sarcasm or facetious language is easily lost over text - thanks for clarifying
