So I'm genuinely concerned

Are we really all gonna just pretend not to like Harry Potter anymore? Because of one terf with a million bad ideas and a superiority complex?

When the fandom has long since denounced her and started making their own fan works and headcanons? The existence of Harriet Porber makes me feel like ???? We don't need to destroy the series just because the creator is a bigoted moron???? Stop me where I'm wrong but I thought the point was to separate art from the artist, and as long as we're not supporting HER, where is the harm?

#harry potter #jk rowling #seriously we all know she's a fucking idiot #but we can't deny that she created something that got so big and touched so many hearts it grew BEYOND her #she doesn't even need to be involved #as evidenced by everyone ignoring her shitty tweets in favor of world building that actually makes sense #and active forms of protest like publishing a story with trans Harry #harry potter is on level with things like star wars in terms of cultural influence and popularity #and George Lucas eventually stepped down #can't we want the same thing for this series??? do we have to dig its grave????#or can we continue to love it and protest its creator until it transforms into something we can all get behind?#seriously I'm asking what do you all think #because i love harry potter #i grew up with it #i always wanted that acceptance letter to come in the mail #but i also DON'T support any of her hateful bigoted viewpoints #and i don't think she should have the final say on what is or isn't since she clearly can't be trusted with that either #anyways i love all my trans and enby buds and I'm sorry because i know this topic is especially hard for some of y'all #your voices are incredibly important in this discussion so if it pleases you I'd like to know what you think
