    That person is lucky to have you. You seem like a good person.

    My point was merely that not everyone has that person.

    You’re going to focus on the people who can be helped (I support positivity), diehard anti-JKR people are going to focus on the people who can’t be/aren’t helped. And the reality is probably somewhere in between.

    It is a very complex situation, and I didn’t mean to come across as being against your stance, simply wanted to elaborate the complication of it all, and why some people prefer a harder stance.

      I think what a lot of folks miss is that expecting the people who are actively being hurt to do this emotional labor is not okay. I don’t talk about Harry Potter in front of those whom it hurts. I use content warnings on my socials. And I accept that this is work I have to do as a straight cis dude, and it can’t be offloaded to someone else. That missing peace is what makes the anti jkr folks as vocal as they are.
