Has anyone tried to counter this entire “don’t engage with HP because JK bad” with Disney and Walt’s racism/anti semitism? By their logic, no one should consume any media attached to Walt, including Marvel and Star Wars now.
Yes, I have. If I recall correctly, the troon's response was "well those are
corporations, there's nothing we can do about them, JKR is an individual person!" as if corporations are just natural phenomenon like hurricanes that have nothing to do with human beings and corporations had nothing to do with making this game... it was ridiculous.
Similar attempts along the lines of "Lovecraft was a massive racist but you don't go after anyone who has anything to do with his work" were met with "well he's dead so that's
different, JKR is alive and speading wrongthink as we type!"
Basically they will
always have a convenient excuse for why they don't go after fans of so-and-so or why XYZ's actually terrible content is nothing like JKR's allegedly terrible content and thus they just
can't go after them like they go after her, etc. What it really boils down to is that JKR is an individual woman and they hate women, especially women who won't cater to and serve them, so they feel the need to destroy her. Lovecraft was a man, Disney is a corporation created by a man and run by men, etc. so they just don't care what they do. Not to mention they don't actually give a shit about racism or anti-Semitism in the first place; the whole point of this farce was to try to find a reason that normies would want to boycott the game because "transphobia" wasn't working.
