There is no ethical consumption of her media. People may argue that you could pirate. Yes, you won't be contributing directly to her funds, but you're still giving her the clout.
Making fun of a stranger's appearance by taking a photo of them without their consent is fucking shitty.
Exactly. That's how you get
Making fun of a strangers appearance while lecturing people on ethics. Ironic.
Thank you Lemmy for introducing me to:
Harry Potter and the Burnt Out Wage Slave
What if I pirate that game that was artificially propped up by transphobe supporters of her and don't tell anyone? That wouldn't give her any clout
Even better: what if I pirate it, hate it, and tell everyone how much it sucks? Surely, that would count as negative clout?
That game does suck. And I'm pretty sure it uses AI generated content, too.
She's basically Hitler to you guys. Which is fine, and i get why you hate her. But to me, the part I struggle with is why you all loved her stuff in the first place.
The point is not interacting with her media, so that she does not generate more money, which she uses to make trans lives worse.
Is he working at Wandsworth prison?
I'll go back to liking them when she's dead and can't do more harm.
Where's an Etsy witch when you need one?
I'm not aware of any boycott of her work that had any meaningful effect. Howard's Legacy sold like fresh cookies.
It would have sold a lot more copies, possibly double, if it weren't for the boycott.
In 'The Left hand of Darkness' there is a part about the road to Rome. If you are on the road to Rome and walk away from Rome you are still on the road to Rome. Rather then the Potter books more people should read the left hand of Darkness.
I agree, but that's kinda like saying that too many people read Doctor Seuss and that they should read Ulysses instead. Le Guin is far superior to Rowling, not just in ethics, but in literary ability, and thus also difficulty. But I do think everyone should read everything she's written. In particular The Dispossessed, given that this is lemmy.
Or how about a different YA series, not written by an avowed transphobe? People should be supporting the Animorphs show is what I'm saying.
And here you are giving her clout. I want even interest in her stuff until now. I had to check up on my people hate her. I'm not cronicly online.
