With all the hate towards J.K Rowling (deserved) and lets say Kanye West for example, you can enjoy the art but can you really separate what they create from what they say?

    Hermione is a total transition goal, so sure!

    I also wrote a HP fanfic where a trans squib connives her way into Hogwarts :p

    The art itself has its own problems, eg slavery, protectors of the status quo, but the excellent sense of place/wonder will always be part of my childhood nostalgia :3

    As long as you’re not supporting the artist financially, eg by pirating any media associated with it, I say enjoy what you like and condemn the artist as a separate person 🤷‍♀️

      That’s assuming one buys the main industry line that pirating (necessarily) hurts the artists;

      but if trans-friendly fanfics do well, that would seem to be a better revenge.
