If Buying Anything Related To Harry Potter Can Be Harmful Because The Creator Can Use The Money To Support

If buying anything related to Harry Potter can be harmful because the creator can use the money to support bad things, why is it still famous? Why people still like it?

Because people are selfish and don't like being told what to do or being told they're making a bad choice.

When it first started coming out that JK Rowling was a bigot, people immediately began to use their own comfort and happiness as a defense for her actions and supporting her.

"Well Harry Potter made my childhood happy so I don't care what she does!" was a prominent argument.

People still like it because they can't separate their enjoyment of it from the reality of what Harry Potter is and who JK Rowling is. Its still famous because in its prime it was a fucking massive franchise. It held a monopoly on the movie market. It boomed. You can't just erase that kind of fame, especially when people still cling to it.

I can tell people until they're blue in the face that the money they give JK Rowling by purchasing licensed Harry Potter merch or streaming Harry Potter on official platforms or attending Harry Potter world or any of the other 38474 ways she's milked that cow for money that they're directly allowing her to keep funding these anti-trans movements and giving her a platform to spread hate but I can't actually make people do anything.

People have to stop being selfish enough to recognise that the issues and bigotry JK Rowling is perpetrating are far more important than the cozy little feelings they get from Harry Potter. People have to make the choice between their own feelings and the literal rights of human beings to exist and receive medical care, jobs, legal rights, ect.

Current daily users averages at 350 at any given time. Active with multiple fandoms including Marvel, Genshin Impact, DC, animes, RPF, The Witcher, Teen Wolf and many more.

I've browsed multiple fandoms and so far haven't come across any of the issues that began cropping up with Omegle with the racist and homophobic copypasta bots. I'm not sure what if any infrastructure the site has in place for that if it happens, but so far in the fandom tags there doesn't seem to be any bots or spam at all for the ones I've browsed.

No issues with the site itself forcibly dropping your connection after a certain amount of time, either.

All in all, a 10/10 alternative and actually far better than Omegle itself.

Victims can be angry.

Victims can not want help for whatever reason.

Victims can be loud.

Victims can be aggressive.

Victims can be violent.

Victims can be emotional.

Victims can be stubborn.

This Hollywood perpetrated idea that victims can only be meek and silent and pitiful needs to be beaten to death with a hammer.

There is no such thing as the standard or typical victim. There is no such thing as a bad victim. Victimhood is not a one-size fits all.

If you believe victims shouldn't receive or are undeserving of compassion and help because they don't behave the way you think they should, you are no better than the person who made them a victim in the first place.

If you wish they died, or think they deserve what happened to them, or think they should have suffered more/should continue to suffer, you are no better than the person who made them a victim in the first place.

I've come to the conclusion that antis think about pedophilia and children being involved in sex way, way more than proshippers do.

Me: Hey so actually maybe treating children like fragile stupid little things who need to be sheltered from even basic life concepts is doing more harm than good. Antis, bigots and religious nuts: So you wanna fuck them? You wanna fuck the kids? Pedo.

Hi. Victim of childhood sexual abuse here.

We were talking about pedophilia. Because that was the incoming accusation. Never once did I state all child rape is a crime of attraction, either.

I lost all respect for antis the day that one said outright said that I, a disabled, fully mature adult was 'basically a child' and any person who was attracted to me was basically a pedo. Because telling disabled people that others being attracted to them is inherently evil is a totally normal, non infantalizing thing to do, right? There's nothing ableist about saying disabled people are 'basically children' right??????

Antis and the media have watered down the meaning of pedophilia to basically nothing. Its a defunct term at this point. It just means anything and everything that anyone wants it to and it makes me so, so angry for the actual victims of true pedophilia and the actual people who are being victimised by the trend of using it as a battering ram.

Neurodivergency and disabilities being weaponised, too, is part of the problem, not a contribution toward a solution. The more you tell people that disabled and neurodivergent people are vulnerable and open to risk the more risk you actually expose them to.

And, frankly, the more you piss them off.
