I'm very satisfied how easy it has been to not consume any of that transphobes garbage.

I read the books, even looked forward to the last two releases,, and taken just a bit of pride every time I see the new stuff pitched at me, because I'm their market and I'm not buying anything that supports hate for those I love.

    I thought I replied but I don't see it... Hope this isn't a double.

    A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik is a fantastic series that very much scratches this itch. In my opinion it's a better series in every way, but I like hard magic systems and think soft magic systems must be earned and I don't think Homophobic Potter earns it.

    Some stories are worth retelling. The Odyssey and The Seven Samurai come to mind.

    This one is not that good.

    So that just leaves you as the sole arbiter of ethics? Congrats on the self-promotion!

    The left has long lost any authority over defining the ethics and morals of society, as far as I'm concerned.

    You have long lost any authority over defining the ethics and morals of society, as far you are concerned. Figured it out.

    Ok, but I fail to see the reasoning behind your comment then.

    Agree or not whether there's an ethical way to consume HP, you believe your opinion on the matter is not morally or ethically authoritative.

    I don't think anyone would have suggested otherwise... There isn't a comment here saying "but what does minorkeys think".

    Ok. You believe your opinion isn't ethically or morally authoritive, but it could still have merit.

    I'm guessing the people that you consider to be the "left" are who people on the left consider to be the "right". This isn't a left/right ideological issue. People should be allowed opinions and we should each be allowed to agree or disagree, in whole or in part, with the opinions of others. Through those opinions, agreements, and disagreements we should each form our own morals.

    We lose our ethics and our society when we stop listening to each other's opinions and morals and instead dismiss each other because they are not from "our side".
