    Separation of art from the artist is relevant when the artist isn’t getting royalties from the IP. Promotions like these earn that bitch a lot of money.

    Whenever you spend money on Harry Potter merch, or anything related to the IP, that horrible horrible piece of shit earns money.

    Assuming you have a non zero amount of care for humans, the right thing to do is to avoid any and all financial contribution to the IP.

      I wonder if there was ever a time and place in human history where people didn’t insist on separating into tribes, agreeing with those in their group, and feeling justified at spitting hate at the ‘others’ they for whatever reason decide to feel justified in hating.

      So many humans are small, disappointing things.
