    But I do not think HP is bigoted content, no matter how bigoted its author is.

    you don’t, uh, find anything problematic with the goblin-like depiction of their bankers?

    wow.

    well you do you bud, there’s no informing some folks no matter how obvious it is I guess.

      Did you even read my comment? Like the very next sentence? I said that there is defintely problematic stuff. Very specifically I was alluding to the goblins, as well as house elves.

        You said there was problematic stuff and it didn’t bother you enough to quit the garbage. Says so much about YOU.

            Not cool, just principled.

            Dude you can admit you’re into boy wizzard fantasy so much that racism doesn’t bother you and that you don’t mind financially supporting terf political attacks on lgbtq folk.

            That’s the principles you’re exposing. Have a great life.

                nah, I’ll judge your weak sauce morality and shitty choices and call it like I see it, that’s the great thing about lemmy. Cool!

                  Just make sure you aren’t consuming any media that might contain anything problematic. Or written by anyone problematic. Or produced by anyone problematic. Or financially benefiting anyone problematic. Wouldn’t want you to be a hypocrite or anything.

                  Can’t be watching Star Trek with all that racial stereotyping and sexism in the original series. Or Star Wars, with Jar Jar and Watto being racially problematic. Lord of the Rings has a distinct lack of female and non-white characters, and some anti-Asian undertones. There’s a lot of problematic stuff in most old Disney movies, looney tunes and other cartoons, plenty of video games… No films starring or directed by Mel Gibson. Nothing involving Bill Cosby, Kevin Spacey, or Danny Masterson. Nothing produced by Miramax or the Weinstein Company (hope you weren’t a Tarantino fan). So many pitfalls and all totally inexcusable to consume. Just make sure you purity test everything, my guy. Not even 1 percent, right?
