It’s not just to have a “do over” that doesn’t involve the original cast, it’s to cut them out of the royalties. Literally the entire point is to make sure all the money made by Harry Potter goes to transphobes or people willing to work with transphobes.
If you watch it, you are supporting bigotry, hate, and oppression. That’s just objective reality. All for a story that you probably have already seen in movie and book form.
There’s people in the notes saying they’re going to watch it anyway, and you know, I understand how you can start feeling so burned out and numb from the world that it may feel too hard to avoid things that will give you a little immediate relief in some way in order to avoid the long-term impact of funding these things.
But. If you can’t bring yourself to avoid watching it, you better at least fucking pirate it.
FYI, Rowling posted this today. She is actively queerphobic, do not support this project in anyway.
I know that this was a foundational thing for so many people. I was one of them. Without Harry Potter, I probably wouldn’t be the person I am today.
If you’re thinking about watching this anyway because you feel all that nostalgia: It’s time to grow up. It’s time to move on.
Don’t even hate watch it. Make it fail.
It is the easiest thing ever to simply not do anything.
yesss im always saying this like sure i can give you logical advice but at the end of the day you can just do what you want to do until youre sick of it. cant move on cant switch gears til youre sick of it so go ahead and indulge
i bet there were guys in the 1800s who were super fucking Reddit about everything, but no one had the right word yet for why those guys were so annoying. so they just had to wonder
Der lästige Kavalier (The Annoying Gentleman), by Berthold Woltze, 1874.
that is a “hello darkness my old friend” face if I ever saw one.
Cybersmith off his shits
keep in mind also that this girl is
A. A teenager, since her hair is almost fully down (the longer skirt and her traveling alone make me think maybe 14-15), and
B. In mourning, as evidenced by her entirely matte and unornamented black dress, gloves, and hat
so this guy is pestering a young girl who’s just lost someone close to her, in absence of clear social cues meant to convey exactly that
I recently saw it pointed out elseTumblr that, a remarkably easy detail to miss, she is going for her hatpin. The clear social cues are about to escalate.
I for one think that is very valid of her and that hatpinning That Guy should still be considered a socially acceptable and perhaps even laudable option.
currently imagining a knight in full plate armor going to college like walking around a college campus and losing my shit
knight at the vending machine. knight on their phone squeezed into a seat on the bus. knight in a lecture taking notes on a laptop. knight at the campus starbucks fumbling with their wallet at the counter to pick up a caramel latte
