    how about if everyone just continues to consume a bigot’s “art” while thinking that it doesn’t inherently validate and/or perpetuate the bigotry, and i’ll continue to say fuck that shit. win-win

      Sure, but this is not what this conversation was nor is about. Your comment was about people having HP tattoos and what a shame that is supposed to be.

      And yes “consuming” bigot’s art doesn’t validate nor perpetuate bigotry in itself. For sure it doesn’t retroactively, like is the case with tattoos.

      All-in-all you can keep saying what you want about the story, the books, the authors, the movies, whatever. I actually don’t care. I was more interested in all the judgment passed about people who enjoy (or enjoyed! In the past!) the story.

      So many naive little turds in the world. Bro, just about everyone on the planet has done something egregious at one point or another, and tons of creatives are honestly pretty horrible people. It’s like trying to avoid every evil corporation, you’ll just have no where to spend your earnings, because guess what? They’re all fucking evil! Just. Let. People. Enjoy. Things.
