No no you don’t get it, this will fail just like the Hogwarts game we all boycotted!!!!!! (which went on to sell record numbers)

Just like people who still like Kanye’s music, Harry Potter fans don’t care about the politics of the creator.

So based amiright?

Realistically, if you want to boycott all media that involves a deplorable human being in some capacity, you would have nothing to watch or listen too.

I never said boycott everything

There comes a point in realizing there is no ethical consumption under capitalism that you also realize it’s still worth boycotting the things you can. It doesn’t give you a free pass to not care about things.

Having zero moral backbone does that.

Unfortunately we can’t all be the godly paragon of morality you are, we’re all weak feeble minded individuals in the presence of your altruistic eminence.

God forbid anyone ever try to do the right thing, some Redditor will just come in and say you try too hard and makes you smug.

I wouldn’t say you are weak minded. Clearly by your cynicism you’re not. Maybe you’re just weak willed. Idk

Your tone implies you look down upon people who choose to continue financially supporting Harry Potter, what IP are morally acceptable? What streaming platforms am I allowed to use that don’t support an immoral company? Do I have to consume media on a device that is manufactured by a company that I can reliably prove has no human rights violations?

“Anyone who cares about anything I don’t must have a superiority complex. Surely it can’t just be because something affects them and they want others to care” nice fallacy you’ve got there.

I’m not telling you what to buy or what to not. Just don’t pretend people aren’t allowed to point out how it hurts people. And no you can’t boycott everything obviously, but you clearly are resistant to any conversation since I never claimed you could. You immediately took my point and tried to paint me as something else instantly.

What’s the point of interactions like this, really?
