What are our thoughts regarding posts focusing on (potentially unsavoury) views held by the author of the series?

Is [email protected] community a good place to discuss them, or should we hold such discussions elsewhere?

    I don’t see why not. Separate the art from the artist, including not giving the artist money (eg pirating the media)

      Giving the saga more visibility still keep it relevant in the current popular culture. I haven’t given any money to JKR for years, but Hogwarts Legacy was still the best selling game of 2023 with 15 millions copies (https://thesagenews.com/22413/lifestyle/top-selling-games-of-2023/)

      On the other hand people will probably argue that she has probably enough money to fund hate actions for generations, and that a local boycott on Lemmy isn’t going to achieve much.

      It’s a debate to have, hence this post.
