I've had a theory for a long time that many of the "LGBT advocate/ally" voices that participate in the discourse aren't actually doing so in our best interests. Many ways I've seen people who call themselves allies talk and act are more likely to push people away than educate.

Preferably I'd like if people could just let HP die and fade away, but beyond that just try not to give her royalty money, and if you can't do that then at the least i don't want to hear about it.

    With enough time and a vacuum of marketing dollars, it will. The reboot is already flopping.

    Hard to advocate for a boycott without hearing about the things you're boycotting.

    The principle of a boycott is to pressure the business to change it's policies. The implication is that you'd come back if they reformed.

    If you're really looking to replace a franchise rather than reform it, helps to fill the vacuum.

    "I'm a big fan of X over Y, because it's got all the things I like without the crude" tends to bend more ears than "Stop doing Y without my permission!"
