The internet is already exploding about Katherine Parkinson, John Lithgow and Paapa Essiedu signing up to the new Hogwarts adventures – and it hasn’t even started filming
Due to how capitalism works, every purchase you make helps fund oppression. That’s how the system was designed: to ensure those in power who wish to oppress will ensure wealth is funnelled into their pockets through their convoluted system of ownership.
If it isn’t Harry Potter media that tangentially funds Rowling through royalties it is something else that funds another bigoted owner somewhere along the supply chain of the rest of the items you purchase in your life.
You really give a shit about this? Then direct your criticisms at the convoluted system that forces people to give up the things they enjoy because some bigot holds a piece of paper that says they own an idea.
This production has nothing to do with JK except for the fact she has a piece of paper that entitles her to reimbursement. That’s the problem, not the people simply trying to make a living or people indulging in media that they enjoy.
Sorry but I really don’t follow. Are you saying we shouldn’t boycot and socially cancel products created by bigots?
There’s so much entertainment and its honestly kinda sad that people would sacrifice their moral and justice stance for sake of “comfort consumption”. Ew.
Yes that’s their point. “no ethical consumption under capitalism” There are no degrees of evil or complicity, shut up and let me continue to not think about what I’m paying for when I buy nestle chocolate. You can’t be perfect so trying to cause less harm is just a distraction.
We’re doing what we can, and that’s a whole lot more valuable than sitting around and talking about what we should do when we can’t at the moment.
Please, tell us your plan to dismantle capitalism that requires us to blindly consume Harry Potter media.
Just because there’s an underlying issue doesn’t mean that it’s pragmatic to hyperfocus on it and ignore the more immediate issues. If I have cancer, I’m not gonna stop eating fruit because I really need to focus on fighting the cancer and my other health-conscious activities need to be put on hold. That’s not how responding to problems works.

Eh disagree with this weakling mindset. It is our duty to be responsible and caring citizens even in systems you disagree with.
You can’t opt out of capitalism. You can opt out of not funding Rowling
Congratulations on missing the point
yeah yeah we all live in a society, you’re extra deep, we know the schtick. Not what we’re here for

if they missed your point you should feel the urge to be more clear. Not act holier than thou
Then help them understand your point of you feel they missed it.
