You have no idea the amount of queers I know that still participate in harry potter bullshit because "it was their childhood" and "she's already rich so what's it matter?"
MFs hide behind their nostalgia and pretend they're still fucking children while paying money to someone advocating for their fucking genocide.
copium, they are probably like the fanfiction type of fans, superparasocial people that live and breathe harry potter. i know one shows where the fans were so obssesed with thier fictions in thier headsa bout the lgbtq+ fantasies of the "straight characthers" they made death threats against some recurring actors and scared them away from the show.
I was referencing people I know. They're normal fans that have a bit of merch and hide behind the "it's my childhood" defense. Not terribly parasocial about it, but they're furries. I think it's more just the "God given American right" to believe that you're in a protected, soft little bubble and none of your actions have consequences.
