https://variety.com/2026/tv/features/lilly-wachowski-jk-rowling-harry-potter-trans-the-matrix-1236858104/ She is funding trans genocide. J.K. Rowling funds trans genocide, full stop. So, if you support “Harry Potter,” you’re supporting trans genocide. The money that goes into you enjoying these products, a portion of that money goes to J.K. Rowling and that money goes into her funding anti-trans legislation all over the world. In the same way that if you are against Elon Musk, you boycott or don’t buy Tesla; and if you’re against global warming/climate change, you try not to buy as much gas, you try to mitigate your use of these products. It’s simple math. So, your enjoyment of these shows, and continued support of these shows, is supporting my eradication. #lillyWachowski #jkrowling #transphobia #uspol #ukpol #maga #fascism #theMatrix #harryPotter #bigotry #homophobia #hate #elonMusk #hbo

Hear hear! "Het kan bij Rowling echt niet meer om de kunst van de kunstenaar te scheiden. Niet als ze al haar inkomen inzet om mensen die buitenproportioneel met haat en uitsluiting te maken krijgen, nog kwetsbaarder te maken." https://www.bnnvara.nl/joop/artikelen/geen-cent-naar-transhaat-boycot-daarom-jk-rowling #TransRightsAreHumanRights #BoycotRowling #HarryPotter #JKRowling #Terf

Eliezer Yudkowsky is the guy who coined the term Effective Altruism, the toxic ideology that billionaires and capitalism-brained aspiring millionaires use to excuse their greed. They tell themselves, for example, that it's good to work at awful companies such as Facebook/Meta to make ungodly amounts of money because, "look at all the good things I could do with all that money," while ignoring all the awful consequences of them working for these companies. Eliezer Yudkowsky is in large parts responsible for introducing and turning billionaires to this toxic ideology. He's also responsbile for another toxic ideology called Rationalism where they suppress all their feelings, and its communities such as LessWrong or Slate Star Codex. He apparently also wrote a fan-fiction book for Harry Potter, called "Harry Potter and the Method of Rationality". Its premise is that Harry Potter was raised by scientists and University of Oxford professors (🙄), and at the age of 10 having already received a rigorous scientific education, before being sent to Hogwarts, where he then examines the magic through the lens of science. "Productivity YouTuber" Ali Abdaal who has millions of uneducated gullible followers, is now promoting that book with a video literally titled, "I am begging you to read [this book]." Promoting Harry Potter in 2026 is definitely a choice. J. K. Rowling is doing her best to ensure the death of all transgender people. What Rowling is doing literally falls under the definition of genocide. Promoting the works of Effective Altruists in 2026 is definitely a choice. Ali Abdaal represents everything that is wrong with Gen Z aspiring to become millionaires by way of becoming YouTubers. Please stop watching him. I discovered his channel in 2018 or so, when he showed his viewers the flashcard app Anki. And I learned how to study effectively thanks to him, something school or my parents never taught me. But I quickly got turned off by his channel around 2019 or so when he started pivoting to iPad reviews like every other tech channel. And especially when his popularity exploded in 2020 with everyone stuck at home due to the pandemic. Please stop watching him if you do. #EffectiveAltruism #TESCREAL #HarryPotter

First I'd like to remark that #HarryPotter seems bizarrely apt to this kind of nonsense precisely because there's so little substance to the writing. "Harry Potter" is a stock character practically, shepherded from book to book through that lowest form of #magic that can be found in fiction: plot magic, i.e. arbitrary happenings where it's clear the author wants a pre-decided outcome more than they want to figure out how to make that outcome plausible.

I really love reading. I used to read mostly #scifi and #fantasy, so you could often find me with my nose buried in #Discworld, #Tolkien, The #Witcher, or #HarryPotter back in school. These days, I also enjoy classic literature by "great authors". And yes, I'm now an expert in children's books because I read to my son every night before bed #kidsbooks. Sadly, I don't have much time for other reading these days. 3/5

So I hear Timmy’s is selling TERF donuts starting today. 🍩 Gross. I am phoning their Guest Services line to complain, tell them to live up to their good public, inclusionary image, and urge them to stop this campaign. 1-888-601-1616 #canpoli #jkrowling #harrypotter #transrights #lgbtq https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/tim-hortons-harry-potter-jk-rowling-9.7287100

I was on hold for about 5 minutes which isn’t bad. I said my piece to the support person, asked her to pass it to her manager and appropriate department, was calm and respectful and explained why I would not be buying from Tim’s until this promotion is ended. She thanked me for my opinion and promised to send it along. I hope she/they get a lot of these phone calls today. #canpoli #jkrowling #harrypotter #transrights #lgbtq

29 years ago, most of us failed to realise that Voldemort, not Harry, was her aspirational character (kudos to those of you who saw through her back then). #HarryPotter #TERFs
