    I’m very satisfied how easy it has been to not consume any of that transphobes garbage.

    I read the books, even looked forward to the last two releases, and taken just a bit of pride every time I see the new stuff pitched at me, because I’m their market and I’m not buying anything that supports hate for those I love.

    I thought I replied but I don’t see it… Hope this isn’t a double.

    A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik is a fantastic series that very much scratches this itch. In my opinion it’s a better series in every way, but I like hard magic systems and think soft magic systems must be earned and I don’t think Homophobic Potter earns it.

    Yep, the only ethical thing is to ignore, unsubscribe, and tell HBO why! Make it unprofitable for them, cause hosts of media to not platform the works associated with transphobes. Make those bigots sweat! A further step, if you read and reviewed the books in the past. Change your review, call out JK Rowlings and tell her the seething bigotry she nurses is nasty. Tell her to move the fuck on from it and stop punching down at trans women and men!

    Some stories are worth retelling. The Odyssey and The Seven Samurai come to mind.

    This one is not that good.

    The left has long lost any authority over defining the ethics and morals of society, as far as I’m concerned.

        Didn’t know I was the only non-lefty in existence! Damn. Now I feel special. (I am a lefty though so …figure that out.)

      I’m guessing the people that you consider to be the “left” are who people on the left consider to be the “right”. This isn’t a left/right ideological issue. People should be allowed opinions and we should each be allowed to agree or disagree, in whole or in part, with the opinions of others. Through those opinions, agreements, and disagreements we should each form our own morals.

      We lose our ethics and our society when we stop listening to each other’s opinions and morals and instead dismiss each other because they are not from “our side”.

      Yeah the right might just be raping a few children here and there, but the left has the audacity to tell me that paying transphobes is bad.
