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

@nileane
Thanks to @verge for using their platform to call this out.

[cloudthethings@hachyderm.io]

@nileane I have zero intention of watching it. I will carefully avoid it while watching more Starfleet Academy

[benjaminklein@mastodon.nu]

@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.

[luc0x61@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@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.

[zbrown@floss.social]

@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.

[bhasic@mastodon.social]

@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

I'll make sure to disable the seeding limit on this one

[dmian@mastodon.social]

@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 ️‍⚧️

[ghostonthehalfshell@masto.ai]

@nileane @verge

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

[cavyherd@wandering.shop]

@nileane

Just saw an announcement earlier today.

Enjoyed HP back in the day.

Before JKR revealed herself to be a TERF.

Hard pass....

[sar@social.elderlogs.net]

@BenjaminKlein @nileane

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.

[alahmnat@woof.tech]

@ret @nileane because she’s mad that all three main child actors from the movies have since called her out for her transphobia and distanced themselves from her and the franchise. She needs fresh puppets.

[disorderlyf@todon.eu]

@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.

bUt sHE haD a tRaNs cHaRaCteR!1!

Named SIRona, for fuck sake!

[violetmadder@kolektiva.social]

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @nileane @verge

Marion Zimmer Bradley was a nasty shock for me.

[dean_r_t@mastodon.social]

Man I’m cis and I don’t even think I’m gonna *watch* it

[cavyherd@wandering.shop]

@violetmadder @GhostOnTheHalfShell @nileane @verge

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

[violetmadder@kolektiva.social]

@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??

[robotdiver@starlite.rodeo]

@nileane

I actually really wanna know so I know who to cut social ties with forever. So chat away about it. Please.
