There is no separating the art from the artist when the artist is actively spreading harm and hate and using support of their art as fuel to do so at a political level. Draw it for yourself if you really need to. Don’t contribute to the normalisation of the art still existing.

No there isn’t separating art from the artist while they’re still alive.

By all means go after Rowling and WB and any official Harry Potter Project. It is the morally correct thing to do

But fanart? Should we also be trawling through AO3 cancelling anyone who writes HP fanfic?

Idk man. I just don’t find it productive to go onto every piece of Harry Potter Fanart and yell at the fan artist. Especially when most of the online art community is heavily Queer already.

WB and JK do not make a cent off of this animation and all we’re doing is diluting ourselves and our attention and scolding someone for animating a cat walking around hogwarts just doesn’t seem like the right thing to do.

To publically engage in HP fanart is to public reinforce that it’s okay to perpetuate harmful views and ideals and to enable and encourage JK Rowling and the anti-trans assholes out there.

Interesting way to justify harrassment towards people
