reminder: Harry Potter tattoos have a higher regret rate than trans surgeries and that’s very funny actually

    except the blatant racism, transphobia, homophobia, slavery apology, and other things are in the actual books

      And the whole, “using the profits from the IP to fund hate groups” thing

      I’m not sure transphobia or homophobia were in the actual books, but the others you mentioned were. Rowling herself obv exhibits all of those things, but I try to think of OP as a 9 year old just discovering a love of reading, who doesn’t know about the racist tones. That’s my story at least, and I’ve been happier just letting people enjoy things.
