#i still see far too many people enaging with harry potter these days and i dont trust you if you do
Text
I wanna rant about how people will use the term "seperate the art from the artist" and then talk about fucking JK Rowling however I think I'll sound too much like an asshole so I'm just going to say I think it's super fucked up when people say "seperate the art from the artist" when talking about a bigot who is alive and whos bigotry is so ingrained in their works that even when they aren't actively involved in something it is still present. It shows a misunderstanding of what the term means and a disregard for the people that person is harming and in the case of Harry Potter has become an excuse for people to continue supporting and funding a known transphobe and all round bigot and her works that aren't even that fucking good.
#i still see far too many people enaging with harry potter these days and i dont trust you if you do#especially those people who are in the marauders fandom#they like to think that because a lot of it is fan creation that its okay but its still based in jk rowlings work#and carries a lot of the same problems that her works did#and its very obvious that the maraduers are still from harry potter so its still promoting and talking about the original series#this is coming from someone who really loved harry potter as a kid too it was my special interest for a while#but i grew the fuck up and moved on acknowledging that whilst it holds some nostalgia and i might occasionally watch one of the dvds i own#it is no longer something to actively engage with and is full of racism and fatphobia and anti-semitism and was created by a transphobe#sorry i just really needed to rant
