Honestly, when I read this secret, I was like "Why is this is a secret...? It's just stating things that are true?" Then I read the comments and was like "Jesus, I guess that's why." I don't know if this is trolling or what, but like... why are commenters saying the same hackneyed thing the secret already addressed? (Secret: "And of course we've read other books." Comments: "Go read another book lol.")

Also like... there is just no way to take JKR's money bags away from her. She is already way richer than anyone ought to be, and determined to use that money to prop up anti-trans legislation and initiatives and platform transphobes, and most people online who are in HP fandom don't actually do things that contribute financially to JKR. Like, I've seen people on the internet angriest at fans writing fanfiction which doesn't actually line JKR's pockets in any way?? Those fanfic writers, meanwhile, will never buy another HP book/merch/game, will not go to the Harry Potter land in Universal Studios, or whatever it is. Their only crime is not swearing off a fandom that other people find too unpleasant or distasteful to continue to participate in. (While letting all the studios and producers and other people who work directly with JKR and who actually make money from Harry Potter off the hook, of course.)

Whether someone participates in Harry Potter fandom is entirely up to them, unless they're showing off all their officially-licensed HP merch they bought or newly-bought HP books or something, which I've just never seen. Nothing in the world turns on whether HP fan lunielovegood87 draws some HP fanart, or whether they decide to keep that username they came up with 15 years ago or whatever. Nothing.

If someone you know is still a big HP fan and seems to have NO idea what JKR has become and what she's doing, then sure, tell them about it. If they're minimizing JKR's transphobia, then call them out for minimizing transphobia. But if someone is fully aware and open how awful JKR is and decides to participate in HP fandom anyway, or isn't even in HP fandom anymore but just has the audacity to be sad and upset about the role HP used to play in their life, just... let them? What even turns on whether they have the exact same feelings as you about HP?

This, JFC.

But that would require not being a douche. Can't happen.

Because you have made a twenty-year-old franchise your life. She doesn't need your financial contribution, she sees your continued love of the franchise and openness talking about it as support. She thinks you think the same as her. And you have decided that's okay just because you aren't paying her.

Social clout is still currency. And you keep giving it to her because "MUH CHILDHOOD"

Keep seething.

Keep kicking and screaming that trans people might not think you're safe to be around because you cling like Gollum to a twenty-year-old mediocre book series that was pro-racism, pro-slavery and pro-classism.

Are you trans? Me too! I agree with the secret.

And if the majority of the world didn't notice the so-called "pro-slavery, pro-racism, and pro-classism" of the books in the late 90's and early 2000's, you probably didn't either. Don't retcon your perception of things.

Stop policing what people might or might not want to read, you fascist. You've turned into sort of a Nazi.
