   Harry Potter fans tend to argue for the seperation of art from the artist.

   That's a maybe.

   But unlike, say, Lovecraft, your money is going to an alive person that is trying to eradicate my people *using* that money.

   I wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror if I did that to any minority.

     I've seen many arguments for/against the franchise based solely on subjectives: that the stories are good or bad, nostalgic or unfamiliar...

     Objectively, whether you like it or not, it's a massive franchise that directly funds transphobic politics.

     No argument can really make me ignore that fact.

     I get the nostalgia.

     Harry Potter was a big part of my childhood. Gaiman's works were a big part of my teenage years.

     I put my books and things away, and away they will stay. And I will never give either another penny.

     Because they're just things, and things are never more important than people.
