I've been critical of the way the @verge has been covering the development of HBO's upcoming Harry Potter reboot.

Remember when a bunch of subscribers canceled their streaming subscriptions over Jimmy Kimmel? What if a lot of HBO subscribers canceled with the reason for canceling be "Cancel Harry Potter."They back peddled on Kimmel. If HBO loses enough money over this, they will change too.
I'm disappointed I don't have an HBO subscription to cancel.

If you're going to cover it, *this* is how the series should be described every time it's mentioned.

Media coverage aside, looks like this Christmas is gonna suck for trans people who will have to deal — on top of everything — with their entire social circles of cis people gasping and gushing over the new Harry Potter series that's actively funding the policies that are torturing and killing them.
@nileane I have zero intention of watching it. I will carefully avoid it while watching more Starfleet Academy

Cis people reading this, if you intend to watch the new HP series when it comes out, here’s two pieces of advice that you're not allowed to ignore:
• Have the decency to keep it and your reactions to yourself. This trans people-killing piece of media doesn't need any of your free publicity.
• Pirate the shit out of it.
@nileane it's possible this is a massive flop, people are still so attached to the previous actors. I thought it was a strange they decided to make this, for so many reasons.

@nileane @verge TBH, maybe she wouldn't need those funds, if her lovely friendship with Jeffrey wasn't abruptly interrupted by his sudden death. An horrible event, happened when he died in a US penitentiary. Before he could name his other accomplices in a criminal pedophiles network. Even before some have been elected to governmental roles. The rest is secret history.

I don't want to be mean but Harry looks a lot like Ruth Davidson. -

@nileane you missed point three:
• The rest of us can and will judge you for it, and I for one fully reserve the right to assume you are a danger until proven otherwise. -

@nileane I noticed that there's a lot of pirated movies and shows in https://www.hyphanet.org/ It's safer than torrent.

@nileane My best friend is a huge HP fan, but he also wants to do the right thing. I had no trouble turning my back on it when she started her anti-trans bullshit. He’s taking it slower. I’m trying. He already knows what I’m going to say if he says something positive about HP, so he rarely brings it up. But it’s tough to strike the right balance. I’m not giving an inch on JKR is bad and trans people are good. But I can’t yell at him every time we talk. Doing the best I can.

@nileane @verge Fuck J.K.Rowling and her transphobe views. I don’t want to be even near any shit she does. Trans rights are human rights! #transrightsarehumanrights

I will always hate finding out that the authors of beloved books or songs are absolutely horrendous. People whose moral sentiments completely abhorrent.

Just saw an announcement earlier today.
Enjoyed HP back in the day.
Before JKR revealed herself to be a TERF.
Hard pass....

Not really. She wants to erase the performances of the 3 film leads because they're not supporting her TERF politics, and actively speaking up against her because of them.
To me though they'll always be the best.

@nileane why do we need another one of these bloody things

@nileane @verge Honestly, bitch could be slated to not make a dime off this show and I still wouldn't watch it. I left for the transphobia, I stayed gone fir the realisation of her apparent inability to not name a minority character something not obviously fucked up.

Neil Gaiman broke my heart. Thank god at least he wasn't one of my seminal authors....

@cavyherd @GhostOnTheHalfShell @nileane @verge
I missed most of Gaiman's stuff until relatively recently, so I wasn't heavily invested but it still blew me away what an incredible asshole he is.
MZB's Darkover series was really formative to me growing up, though. I was beyond stunned to find out that the author had NONE of the empathy described in her characters... the cognitive dissonance there is just breathtaking. I can't even.
People smart enough to know better. People who understand emotions and morals well enough to describe them in great detail, and yet... somehow, they're still monsters anyway and they don't even feel bad. How does that WORK??
