This. Generally there's no point in policing fans of artists who were truly evil in their personal life or hold deeply shitty opinions. God knows I love enough of both.
But Rowling is not an artist who happens to be an execrable human being. She's a fascist activist with a sideline in kids' books.

To me Rowling exists entirely outside of the “should we support/work with artists with troubling views?” debate. She doesn’t just *think* her opinions, she doesn’t just *say* them, she’s a relentless 24-7 activist whose whole mission in life is terrorizing trans people.
there's also people claiming we trans people are "holding allies to a purity test" here and to be clear:
"Don't participate in stuff that actively funds the campaign to exterminate us" is a pretty fucking low bar. One might say it's not even "allyship," it's just decency.

Bluesky is great. Is there an instagram equivalent so I can leave that space as well?
