Exactly. You can love harry potter without liking JK in the slightest, there are two different things. And you don’t get to ruin other people’s enjoyment of a franchise just because you’re having a fight with the author. The whole thing is kind of silly
The second you are promoting it is where the problem lies, like how can you not see that? And how the fuck is it ruining if I simply point out she’s a huge hateful piece of shit? If that makes it tough to enjoy, boo fucking hoo, you have morals at odds with your wants, find a way to deal with it.
I hate to break it to you but it’s stunning number of authors and directors and actors are huge pieces of shit. They’re not promoting her they’re promoting the work.
By most accounts Martin Luther King was a terrible person but you can still appreciate the message he had with regards to race and still think his speech was incredible
I find it ironic that the people supposedly doing good by hating her are the ones in here spitting bile at others. Not even others who say a single good word about the woman. I’d say you’re acting like awful people, but I don’t think you’re acting. That’s likely why you need to virtue signal so hard.
If this is bile and harrassment you’re genuinely so soft it’s adorable.
No, dear. I spent several years in prison. One of the things you learn when you’re around people who are perfectly willing to break your jaw with no warning for acting like a childish little shit saying things like “boo fucking hoo” is that acting like that is the complete opposite of being tough. Tough is holding in your emotions and childish angst at others and using reasonable adult conversation to communicate with people even if you don’t agree on everything in life. It takes actual growth as a person to not spew hate and catty bullshit to sate your inner child.
The only thing your words show is how very soft and sheltered you are. It isn’t adorable, it’s a sad artifact of living online instead of being physically around large groups of people outside of your safe comfortable social circle. It’s something that’s been keeping too many people eternally children recently, since it shields you from running face first into the real world differences and situations that usually force people to mature.
