When you say "queer friendly", are you, the admin of the instance, gender diverse and thus directly impacted by Rowling's transphobia? Because that's the only voice that I'm open to hearing "queer friendly" from when it comes to Potter and Rowling.
If you're not impacted by her bigotry, you have no place claiming that it's queer friendly, whilst actively refusing to engage with the reality of her transphobia.
So you have to be part of the queer movement to be queer friendly ? Please go gatekeep something else
It's easier to determine if something is queer friendly or not. If you are just an outsider how can you accurately say what's queer friendly?
So if I'm not both a woman and a man I can't see sexism? That's an easy way out of responsibility.
It's extremly easy to determine if something is "queer friendly" or not, event if you're not a queer yourself. By your flawless logic, I should not be able to discern the presence of racism in a KKK meeting because I'm not black lol.
No, I'm not. With "queer friendly" I wanted to signal my good intentions here. I don't want to call it a safe space, because I'm not able and also not willing to provide this. Possibly in the future there will be other H.P. instances that are also safe(r) spaces.
So yeah, "queer friendly" is more like a ideal/commitment that I want to try to hold rather than a promise/claim. Or that what was I tried to do here.
If you have a different phrase that could reflect this more accuratly, I will be happy to consider it.
Then blocking it will be!
No one cares what you think
Their rules post also doesn't say ~~anything about transphobic content whatsoever~~ they see the fandom as not inherently sharing the creators views
Why lie about something that we all can easily verify for ourselves?

Ah yeah the one line, you're right.
What I should've said is that I'd expect something more substantial, distancing the community from Rowlings stance.
edit: I've changed it to clarify.
"The rule isn't there!"
"Yes it is."
"Okay, but now the rule should be something more that I just now decided on."
Like, my guy... It's a community for people who want to discuss a story about wizards and magic. What do they need to do to score with these shifting goalposts, take a blood pact denouncing Rowling? They already said no transphobic content is allowed. That already covers it.
Yeah no you're right, I was wrong. It seemed like they would've made a bigger deal about it considering the title of this post.
They do. It's the first rule.
