    cunt who otherwise doesn’t affect your life

    not directly. but she’s a public figure whose bigotry validates and amplifies an ideology based on the hate you accuse the people condemning her of

    Forget the bitch, continue to enjoy HP if it makes you happy

    i wouldn’t tell anyone what to enjoy or what not to. but i will tell you what makes ME happy: shitting on HP and j.k. rowling. those two things are NOT the victim in this scenario

        the victims are people who face persecution, discrimination, and hatred for no other reason than how they were born. your valiant (though weak) defense of HP and rowling makes you look a lot worse than it makes either one of those 2 things look better

          You can always tell someone is arguing from a well-meaning position when they make up things to fit their argument. But, hey, maybe in your mind calling her a cunt is a form of endearment. So, have a nice day, cunt.

              PRE-FUCKING-CISELY MY MAN. How is calling her a cunt and other derogatory terminology, and ZERO positive remarks toward her in your mind equate to “defending” her? Furthermore, I really didn’t even defend HP. I just said let people enjoy things, you holier-than-thou fuck.

                i misunderstood the comment, my bad on that one. again, i’m not telling anyone what to enjoy and what not to. do what you want, i’ll do the same. going back to my first comment’s edit, it’s just really weird that people are more offended by my shitting on harry potter of all things than they are about the creator of harry potter being a bigot. it was never about me saying “you’re not allowed to like harry potter.” it’s about “you continue to enjoy harry potter, and i’ll continue to condemn harry potter and jk rowling.” because fuck bigots, and fuck their IPs

                don’t worry, we’re moving on to neil gaiman next. fuck rapists and their IPs also

                  People are not “more upset” at this than at something else. You made a comment that didn’t even criticize JKR as much as said something about people who have HP tattoos, you got answers related to that comment from people who disagree. This doesn’t say anything about how much those same people are upset about anything else. Trying to put everyone who disagrees with your remark into the box of “supporting JKR” is quite a dishonest strategy.

                    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
