Same. Even if I know the artist is no fan of JKR herself, hell, even if I know the artist is also trans themselves, it's just gotten to the point where I can't have fun with HP AUs anymore, can't work myself up to enjoy a debate about which hogwarts houses different characters would be in, even when I know I would have had passionate opinions on them back in the day...

I don't judge people who are trying to pick through and salvage parts of the fandom because it was important to their youth-- for a lot of people, the books started a love affair with reading, or kept them company during a lonely/difficult childhood, and it's hard to deal with having something important to you ruined like that. When I was a heavily depressed teen, I felt like The Smiths' music got me through Some Shit, I get discovering the person who created the thing that made you feel seen is a bigot and having to decide what you do with that and how you avoid furthering harm. And AU fanart is definitely a different thing from buying official merch or otherwise directly supporting JKR... but I just feel a little sick when I see it.

I agree with all of this!

It is entertaining to see the same people who slammed folks over mourning Bowie, Prince or other problematic celebs twist themselves into knots justifying why they still love HP. There is no separating art from artist with HP, JKR was a huge part of fandom, anytime she wrote or said something about the universe was an event.

Speak for yourself. JKR's views and opinions have had no effect on my love of the story.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, I still love HP. I don't hate JKR though.

[(Anonymous)]

It’s cool that you still like HP. It’s definitely a bad idea to ask why you don’t hate JK though.

I don't think anything she's said is that bad. Misguided maybe. Any chance of changing her mind was lost when the witch hunt started, and now I don't blame her for standing her ground against a tirade of hate.

Yikes.

Yeah, how dare they not conform.
