Literally my first comment in this chain addresses this

As for this specific instance its not even hard to see how it is harming trans people: talking about hp keeps it in the spotlight which generates more sales.

hp fans and their reading comprehension good god

is it really this difficult to understand that keeping this franchise in the spotlight generates demand which generates sales? So your not literally putting money into the hands of a genocidaire extraordinaire woweee but you're still creating hype around the product.

Edit: turns out this is the 3rd in this comment chain alone that I'm addressing the point you say I'm ignoring lmfao

People that don't listen to trans people, but only consider themselves allies to make themselves feel better, so they can enjoy their transphobic treats while still patting each other on the back are detrimental to any movement and should be gotten rid of. And if you don't even enjoy hp that much why are you coming to it's defense so hard? If there are legit arguments as to why harry potter is so fucking important to someones life let that person speak up. Or if they can't relay their message. You're deplatforming them as well as trans people only to "defend the movement" from those "purists" that want a transphobic franchise squashed and want to put trans peoples arguments front and center.

My "strict adherence to what is right" is merely "listen to what trans people are saying, then do that". That is it.

you want to try and belittle me into agreeing with you.

I want you to center trans people and not some hypothetical allies that might or might not "join the movement". In any argument about whether something is good or not for trans people it's trans peoples voices, and only trans peoples voices, that matters. If you don't argue from a trans perspective it doesn't matter. The allies perspective is irrelevant, our job is to make trans peoples voices heard and frequently, almost always really, this includes telling cis people to stfu.

Because this "comfort" comes at a cost for other peoples wellbeing.

especially kids in abusive households as those demographics tend to gravitate towards fantasy series like Harry Potter and LOTR the most.

I dont know if you mean this as "The majority of the HP and LOTR fanbase is comprised of kids in abusive households using them as a comfort from the abuse" or "The majority of kids in abusive households use HP and LOTR as comfort from the abuse" but either way that's a huge claim, do you have anything to back that up?

I would be genuinely surprised if there is a person who would not be able to manage their PTSD without LOTR or HP.

Read the material I posted in the other comment I know you saw it because you responded with a similarly clever remark

Yes every muslim across time and space is just like an american fundamentalist from today. You are a very smart person.

Read the paragraph after

Second, the rise of Islamic fundamentalism in the 1980s coincided with that of the gay-rights movement in America and Europe, hardening cultural differences. Once homosexuality had become associated with the West, politicians were able to manipulate anti-LGBT feelings for their personal gain.

so it again traces back to the western powers who keep funding islamic fundamentalism as well as the population having such animosity towards the west because of what we did to them that politicians over there can just point at something, call it western, and people automatically assume it's bad.

I just wanted to make sure that it was crystal clear that I didn't mean your physical appearance.

I meant your personality. You as a person are gross.

You're gross bud
