There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series…

@verge there is no unethical consumption of anything

@verge Thank you for saying this ✊

@verge No consumption of the Verge either since it won't take down the paywall

@verge @gedeonm it also looks like the worst cosplay ever >_>

@verge Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. Harry Potter is a delight and kids can enjoy every minute of them.
JK has views most progressive thinkers don’t agree with but then Charles Dickens abhorred poverty but seemed fine with slavery. Each of us has choices to make. She has to live with herself. We can live without.

@verge I agree of course, but I would start with more fundamental issues like genocide of thousands of children in Palestine and that there is no ethical consumption of any services that are providing assistance to Israel to murder those civilians (almost entire BigTech etc.)

@verge I think this series will split mastodon. Probably for the same reasons that American leftists (Dems) get split. Half of the crowd wants to keep marching for parity among all, which requires championing anyone made “other”. Half of the crowd wants to think of themself as a wizard who takes unusually good cat photos.

Harry Potter adults experienced most of their adulthood in a semblance of left leaning democracy, so they think it is their right AND a natural state. Reality is anathema.
