I used to say that it didn’t matter. A person like JKR is so obscenely rich that the entire world could boycott all Harry Potter content and it wouldn’t affect her at all. But now she’s directly lobbying for hateful policies with her wealth. Now it truly is inexcusable.

I’m gonna not watch it for exactly the same reason I didn’t watch Starfleet Academy.

And as much as Harry Potter fans might be excited to see what HBO has cooked up, there’s no way to watch this show without supporting Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on a vulnerable minority.

Gotta say, I’ve never been so motivated to pirate something and not watch it in my life.
