I do love that Tumblr is the only place on the internet I consistently see people still be like, really pretty steadfast morally on not giving the Harry Potter any money, but honestly the best part of that being site culture is people equating literally any media they don't like who's creator was on Newgrounds once with JKR.

Absolutely no sense of when to choose your battles. Like some IPs are uniquely massive and their creators uniquely destructive so even if the other media you're complaining about is legitimately the worst thing ever like, don't act like it's the same thing you know? Rings a lot of "I learned the words to sound good when I complain but didn't internalize the message" bells.

#specifically writing this cause I saw a post that was like #'oh so you'll boycott harry potter but not FNAF or Smiling Friends' and like #?????#Yeah the number of people who gave up real quick after Cawthon got outed as a political shitheel is a problem but Smiling Friends?#Is this an overlap in fandoms that OP has seen a lot?#I like Zach Hadel and Oney and I'm not gonna say they're doing the social justice world any favors but like #They're not making things WORSE they just never outgrew mid-00s internet culture #And it's one season of a show on a dying streaming service #Just tell me you hate that one friend in your social circle that likes the show goddamn
