valid points on the books/movies but this new series will directly fund transphobia and bigotry.

It's a cash grab and an attempt to distance the original cast, all of whom viciously disagree with Rowlings bigotry.

Joyless, souless propaganda and funds drive. If you were such a dedicated potter fan, why would want to see its corpse puppeted to pay for hate?

Right but they were specifically making a point that it wasn't (just) a financial question. That consumption of content with a hateful source is enough to be detrimental regardless of the benign nature and qualities of the content itself. I wasn't arguing that you should financially support hateful creators. I was questioning their premise that the creator's nature determined how the content affects you even if the content doesn't reflect their nature.

It is a whole other thing to financially support it. And also another thing to consume new media that may or may not be me little more than a cash grab. It is also further complicated by the fact that this is an HBO property, meaning that financial support technically comes from subscriptions, whether or not you actually watch the content in question or other shows entirely. I wasn't getting into any of that though.
