Very old man shouts at cloud, but how can a 20yo not know what a VHS cassette tape is? Sure you didn’t experience them first-hand, but surely you can read about things? I didn’t own a gramophone but I know what one looks like.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.
