    As I said, if not voluntarily giving money to or making excuses for someone who will use that money to hurt people is too much to ask of someone, then their context and intent is quite clear.

    Including yours.

      Except they aren’t giving money to someone who will use it for harm. They are giving it to whatever production company has created the series.

      It is only after this, and through a convoluted system of ownership and IP laws, that the production company is forced to give a percentage of its proceeds to the hateful bigot.

      If you want to criticize anything, criticize that system. Not individuals for wanting to engage in simple creature comforts that they find enjoyable.

      Its not.

      Including yours.

      Thanks for demonstrating. You can imply I’m transphobic or promoting transphobia but I’m literally not. I’m pretty comfortable with the balance I’ve struck and, quite honestly, I’m not being transphobic or promoting transphobia because I don’t care if someone’s trans or not. It’s not really any of my business.

      My general philosophy is that people are free to be whomever they want, believe whatever they want etc. as long as they aren’t hurting others or forcing it on other people against there wishes.

      This is why I don’t like JK Rowling, but I wouldn’t like her if she was actively working against black people or people with physical or mental disabilities or funding Israeli efforts in Gaza or any number of other things.

      I don’t agree with lots of people’s beliefs but I actively dislike them when they begin to weaponize those beliefs.
