Some famous people REALLY shouldn't have a Twitter account: Trump would have stayed a tacky real estate developer/reality TV host, Musk would have stayed a tech visionary, and Jo would have stayed a beloved children's book author.
Is there any way to like, disassociate being a Harry Potter fan to whatever embarrassing nonsense her X Formerly Known as Twitter accounting is spouting?
Yep. I despise her opinions since I've heard/read them, but reading HP still is a treasured child memory and I pick them up again every few years. But I'm never buying anything that contributes to her wealth and I'm not going to rate the books positevely on goodreads or whatever.
I surely makes no difference to her, but it allows me to feel okay about it.You are not alone, it's definitely going to make a difference
I feel the same way about Roald Dahl. He was a virulent antisemite, meaning that he would have hated me, but I can't give up those books I grew up with.
But at least I'm not giving him money directly if I buy one of his books.
harry potter kept me a live when i was in the closest before i transitioned. i made a lot of online friends through pottercast, leaky, and starkid so i still love reading it. i don't care about the new stuff (fantastic beasts was ruined when they stopped making it about newtina) and i don't buy any new books or anything.
i still read the ones i have though
