    I was told earlier to walk into the sea for my opinion of enjoying Harry Potter. I am not generalizing

      Do you… not know what the word generalize means? It’s to take something specific - like, say, the interaction you’re describing - and use it to infer the general characteristics of an entire community. To reduce an entire group of people to your anecdotes of individuals.

        I understand you think my single comment I mentioned is my only experience with this reaction in your community. But that’s just naive and rude to assume id generalize in that fashion. This is consistent behaviour from the community towards this fandom.

        But I’m the one generalizing. Lol.

          That’s… literally the definition of generalizing. As if an entire demographic could be reduced and characterized by your interactions online about a children’s book series.

          Ohhh, you’re just a transphobe using this as an excuse to soapbox. Cool. Cool cool cool. Nuanced. Totally. Go touch grass and get a life.

              I’m serious. Make sure you take some time to go outside. Take a breath of fresh air. Look at some trees, watch the leaves rustle in the wind. Take off your shoes, and feel the blades of grass beneath your feet. Feel the warmth of the sun on your face. Your life doesn’t have to be this way.

              You don’t need to insult an entire group of minorities based on your meaningless conversations with faceless strangers - most of whom are almost certainly not trans themselves - about a children’s book series on the internet.

              I think this has nothing to do with stories about wizards. I think you just enjoy hate.

                That’s completely absurd to me I do not enjoy Hate. Hate is being directed at me for being a fan of Harry Potter I am not directing or facilitating hate. I don’t harbor any I’ll will towards anyone.

                    That’s the thing. I do not believe I have. Yet here we are. Lol. I just would like to enjoy my thing I enjoy without being hated for it. As I stated earlier. So sorry you don’t want me to enjoy what I enjoy that you do not.

                    We can argue on the merits of supporting JK all day as you spend money at Walmart or whatever shithole that oppresses way more human beings lol I haven’t spent any money on her so. I have no remorse for my enjoyment of her series as I HAVE NOT supported her hate. Not that you care though.
