It's not just about enjoying the stories though. It's more about buying more and more merch, running promo with your house scarf and that stuff. It's about.claiming to be an ally while still giving her money that she proudly funnels into hate campaigns.
In my opinion, even talking about the licence itself is giving her free publicity and indirect money. HP should be forgotten until she dies.
all harry potter cannon is on AO3
And that's why you buy used or pirate😁 No additional money for the shithead and the market is flooded with second hand stuff anyways
Honestly, even if the whole franchise didn't leave a bitter taste in my mouth, I wouldn't want ti buy used merch and run around promoting it.
I generally am not a huge fan of licensed merch, I prefer fan- or selfmade stuff, but to me there is still a difference between printing a Rohan coat of arms on a t-shirt and knitting a Gryffindor scarf.
I never bought any merch, so I was mainly talking about books and movies, full agree on Rohan tho!
Buying used still takes away supply that is filled up with new purchases that profit JKR, resulting her using your money kill trans people.
Piracy still increases sales because the IP stays in the zeitgeist. At a personal level, this means that if you talk with others about having enjoyed pirated HP IP, you are stochastically advertising for JKR, resulting in you giving JKR that person's money that she then uses to kill trans people.
"No ethical consumption under capitalism" still applies, though. It's often impossible to avoid contributing to murder. As long as you are trying to undermine capitalism, it is okay to keep yourself happy using whatever means available to you that you can stomach.
Related tangent!
I’ve had a debate about listening to music produced by the worst people. Conditions included no downloads from any site that would be able to track your download and iterate a counter. Have to play where no one can hear it. Can never discuss it or let anyone see you listen to it.
None of that mattered because the person still felt icky but it is tough for me to see it as a moral issue at that point. (assuming you already legally owned the thing)
Yeah... The comment you're responding to literally says you can like the stories just don't give JK your money. Not sure what you're adding here
Publically wearing merch is promoting the franchise which makes others wanting to buy merch and giving her money is what I'm adding here.
