Which is what that comment is. It's not activism to tell people their fandom is inherently evil. It's being an asshole. Because fandom is not activism. People are here to share their love, not to be browbeaten about it.

Sometimes a fandom is. Sadly, thanks to Jo herself claiming its existence validates her views, Potter has crossed that line . Just because you like something does notean that something is a good thing to be.

I love how this always is about Harry Potter and not, say, slasher films, or true crime, exploitation films, horror movies, etc etc.

"You like a book about children going to a magical school and there is a widely known literary concept called Death of the Author where a piece of literature can be viewed divorced from the creator?

You're a horrible human being and you should be shamed for the things you like."

How very conservative of you.

Bingo!
HP does not have any transphobia in the text itself, so people can easily divorce JK's opinions from the text of the novels.

DA

Exactly. The only red flag here, for me, is when people make sweeping, irresponsible assertions that liking "the wrong story" is proof of moral degeneracy. That behavior tells me the OP's judgement about what's worth trying to punish and ostracize other people for is really unsound. And that they're keen to have reasons to malign fellow fans - perhaps in the future, any old excuse will serve.
