i did my usual monthly thing on instagram where i post a story about how i don't want to be friends with ppl who support joanne k.r.'s work in any capacity (which. i'm on cosplay insta soooooo) and that i feel unsafe around those people. i post stuff like that semi-regularly just to make sure ppl can see it (not that it's stopped ex-mutuals of mine who in many cases i've met irl from posting hp cosplay…..) and it's usually along the lines of "heyy my usual reminder that if you support hp you're doing a great job of alienating trans people and making them feel unsafe around you, myself included, so consider whether or not your nostalgia is worth trans safety xoxo". today for the first time someone responded to me and i haven't been able to get myself to look at the dm 💀 from the preview i've seen they're like "oh i don't support her but i still wanna do hp cosplay and i don't want you feeling unsafe around me when we meet…" and i just rlly don't have the energy to deal with that rn 💀
