Hey there, I'm a mod of c/traa and was recently called out for saying JK Rowling is transphobic and buying the Hogwarts game is a bad idea. I was told that the 'actual trans people with sense' are here and agree that playing the Hogwarts game is fine, and so is giving money to a transphobe billionaire. This ally of trans rights (and instance admin of a large server that isnt blahaj or hexbear) of course seems to vehemently disagree.

So, as a question, do you agree with giving money in any way to JK Rowling? Do you agree with supporting Harry Potter as a franchise? ๐Ÿค“ I have a feeling I already know the answer to this, but I figure yall might find this whole thing amusing

Joanne Rowling, who wrote Harry Potter, is a gigantic TERF and often tweets about trans people and how terrible she thinks they are.

She actively causes significant harm and supports TERF groups, all in the name of looking after women and children.

I'm no expert so I have no more detail than that, I actively avoid knowing about her any more than necessary
