It’s about refusing to fund companies that are funding atrocities. (Remember: your data is a form of currency!) It’s about the fact that even your grocery list is NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS. The memes you send your bestie are NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS. 🧵

There are so many other amazing books and shows and movies about magic schools, magic worlds, magic orphans, fighting the system, taking down corruption. Read them. Watch them. Make new fandoms. Make new friends.

The idea of ethical engagement via fan content is just no longer relevant, because any and all HP references make trans people feel unwelcome, and honestly just… gross? I personally have blocked all HP related hashtags because I don’t want to see anything about it—not even queer fan art. 6/7

We went from being two people for whom HP was a foundational part of our lives, in many ways the thing that brought us together as friends. We moved on because it was right. So you will find absolutely no sympathy from us if your argument is that the series is too important to give up. Move. On. 5/7

Two years ago we went from making a successful HP podcast to struggling to rebuild in a now extremely oversaturated podcast environment. We did it because it was right. So you will find absolutely no sympathy from us if your argument is that your work is tied to this series. Move. On. 4/7

People are still sharing our very old and outdated ig guide to firing JKR, and with every share we become increasingly uncomfortable.

There is no way to ethically participate in the Harry Potter fandom 2/7
