i don't consume any of it but mostly because they're bad and she's a bad writer, but being a transphobe certainly didn't help her case either

I made the same decision with Brandon Sanderson and his fuckin fanclub takes it extremely personally when I point out how problematic he is as an author.
Yes, his writing is good. Yes, his writing is remarkably inclusive with regards to sexual orientation, disability, and mental illness.
However, Brandon is a Mormon first and foremost, and actively tithes to his church. That means a significant percentage of ALL Dragonsteel profits go directly towards the suppression and disenfranchisement of LGBTQ+ programs, sex education, and effective mental health services.
He might write a good story, but his IRL politics are repugnant.

Some of the most ludicrous people I used to know are... very queer and proud, self describe as 'leftists', and are also mega Potterheads, all at the same time.
Everytime I'd mention that Rowling is a POS, I would literally be shushed, and mean mugged.
Ironically (or perhaps not?) one of these people would later be fired from their job for racial insensitivity.
???????
Cognitive dissonance is really something else.
So weird considering they are literally novels for children lol...
These are the kind of people who are in their 30s and still make instagram posts, and frequently say in real life, 'I'm done adulting today.'
Oh right, even crazier, one of them was also a nurse and a covid skeptic... again all at the same time.

Mid ass books anyway. It was literally so easy to not engage with them and I fucking loved them as a kid.

Well buying used book does not give jkr one penny, watching dvd does not give and algorithm engagement, amd any old offline game will not either.
I think all the attention y’all give to her is what’s keeping this in the cultural spotlight. I basically never think about her, or the books, until I see posts like these on the internet. We gotta separate the art from the artist.

STOP writing Harry Potter fanfic.
START writing 2 Rats fanfic.
Why are Harry Potter fans so uniquely unable to let go and find a better franchise to support? I know TRANS people that Joanne could apparently deadname them and spit in their face and they'd still spend every disposable dollar they have to buy HP games, merch, and go to the amusement park again.
Keep taking those tests to affirm you're still a Hufflepuff, I guess.
I feel the same way. I don't understand why someone cant talk about Harry potter and still show support for pride month. I understand not buying things as cancel culture is logical if you are into that.
