Seen a lot of people responding to this with “I’m just going to pirate the show,” and I want to gently remind everyone that the central idea in this piece is that there’s no way to engage with the Potter franchise in any capacity that doesn’t benefit Rowling and her bigotry

The pipeline between all things Harry Potter and hurting trans lives is just that--one pipe. Straight line. Direct funding. Not a complicated diagram. When you don't watch the Harry Potter preview, that helps. Not getting the views helps.
