Transcript by OP

As far as I'm concerned, you have three options:
1. Not watch the new Harry Potter.
2. Watch the new Harry Potter but shut up about it.
3. Admit to watching the new Harry Potter and be judged.
There is no fourth option

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, not a fan of JKR but this isn't saying anything new. You can insert any canon in this and it'd still hold true. Post anything on the internet and be judged by someone or other.

[iff_and_xor]

Yeah, just from a logic standpoint, that feels like it covers all possible cases. (Assuming the axiom “any publicly declared action will lead to being judged for it”.)

[(Anonymous)]

It's a different kind of judging.

There's a world of difference between "Eww, you like that crap thing I don't like?" and "Your open consumption of something that will fund anti-transgender legislation marks you out as a complete piece of shit" are two entirely different levels of Judged.

[(Anonymous)]

Like I said, not a fan but this secret is just stating the obvious. People will judge you on what you like for whatever reasons of their choosing, this is not news or a secret to anyone besides the freshest newbies on the internet

JKR isn't the only creator to be a TERF. Other creators have also been abusers, sexually assaulted people, murdered them, or been pedophiles. Slot in Gaiman, or MZB, or Polanski, etc etc etc. Plenty of media to judge for even if you mean Special Judging Type 2

[(Anonymous)]

Fourth option would be "Admit to watching the new Harry Potter and ignoring the judgments", but that's way harder these days with social media.

[(Anonymous)]

Well not really, that's still 3, being judged. 'Ignoring it' is a possible reaction to 3, as is 'making a big drama'. Nothing will stop people from doing the judging though, just a rule of the internet at this point

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I'm going with 3, no shame.

[(Anonymous)]

I honestly will probably watch. Potter was such a huge part of my childhood. But I'm going to illegally download. ANd I've refused to watch the trailer. I don't want to be giving her support of any kind. But I will probably watch in the privacy of my home where no one can see and think I'm supporting her.

[(Anonymous)]

TBH The trailer looks like shit because Youtube made the colors looks quite muddy than vibrant.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh boy, world's easiest boycott for me because I don't have this streaming service and there are thousands of things I would rather be watching than the Harry Potter show.
For instance I'm currently watching an hour and a half youtube video on the My Little Pony puppet stage show, then will read Phantom of the Opera before going to bed.

[(Anonymous)]

Amen
