    I’m NB and quoting Harry Potter just sounds like you hate me

    Edit: also I get very few people messaging me first

    Edit 2: I really don’t understand the downvotes outside of maybe just enjoying Harry Potter. This is just a personal experience I’ve had.

    Harry Potter stuff directly funds anti-trans organizations and that leads to the furthering decline of mental health among trans people which leads to them dying.

    Sure, an opening message doesn’t send any money to JK but it’s a massive red flag that someone is willing to send money to JK.

    People are allowed to enjoy things, but in turn, I’m also allowed to decide not to talk to someone for funding hate speech.

        And I’m glad you’re able to do that and have people around you that support you. This doesn’t change the fact that I don’t enjoy people who promote something that funds people like me dying.

        If you’re able to get over that, that’s awesome and I believe you deserve good things, I am simply not able to.

            I agree completely. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism… You’re entirely right.

            However, just like I choose not to use Facebook, I can choose not to talk to certain people. I don’t understand why that’s such a bad thing.

            I also wouldn’t talk to someone who says their idol is Andrew Tate.

      I guess it is bad in the sense that it’s not great pick-up line to use in your case, but I do like the creativity. Would’ve been better used to someone with some Harry Potter stuff in their bio though

      I’m sorry you have to deal with so many ignorant and apologist people.

      Everyone who exuses the hate Rowling spreads because of the Harry Potter cult is partly responsible for the harm and danger this causes to trans and non binary people.
