1. El Impacto de la Autora: Cuando la Creadora Arruina su Creación.
Muchos usuarios expresan cómo las declaraciones y el activismo de J.K. Rowling en contra de la comunidad trans han destruido su capacidad para disfrutar del universo de Harry Potter. El sentimiento predominante es que sus acciones han contaminado irrevocablemente su obra, haciendo imposible separar al artista de su arte.
- I used to *loove* harry potter but for me, she’s spoiled any joy i could get out of new media for it.
- I know you should separate the author from the work, but she's ruined harry potter for me, and i genuinely used to think hp was the best series of written fiction since the lord of the rings!
- I loved harry potter as a kid and like if rowling was dead and gone or just not being an actively evil person like sure the work could live by itself but not while she's out there being an evil person and profiting off it, no work of fiction is worth harming real people.
- Consider how folks have dropped rowling. We dropped her because she's a fucking terf, not because her fiction was mid (even though it was).
2. Crítica a la Calidad Literaria: ¿Fue Harry Potter Realmente Bueno?
Más allá de la controversia, una corriente de opinión cuestiona la calidad literaria de la saga. Se argumenta que los libros son mediocres, con una construcción de mundo deficiente y que existen muchas otras obras de ficción fantástica, especialmente en el género juvenil (YA), que son superiores en creatividad y escritura.
- It’s also like, just kinda bad? like even if rowling had never become queen terf; they’re like *decent* at best but there’s so many better, more creative books out there and instead people cling to her mediocre slop.
- Harry potter is literally junk fiction. There’s much better ya fantasy out there. I have never understood the appeal tbh.
- The worst fan fiction have better and more coherent world building than harry potter. Literally ready anything else.
- People compare her to h p lovecraft in terms of "writer who is also a massive bigot", but lovecraft defined a whole genre of fiction. No one would ever call a story "rowlingian".
3. El Boicot y la Búsqueda de Alternativas.
Un tema central es el llamado a un boicot total de cualquier producto relacionado con J.K. Rowling. Los participantes sostienen que cualquier forma de consumo, directa o indirecta, financia su campaña contra los derechos trans. En su lugar, instan a la comunidad a descubrir y apoyar a otros autores, especialmente a las voces trans en la ficción.
- If you buy anything that gives jk rowling money you are funding the death of trans kids. I’m tired of pretending those aren’t the stakes, and i’m tired being accommodating on this.
- You actually shouldn’t pirate any of j.k. Rowling’s garbage. Let it rot on the vine. Go buy fiction and video games created by trans women instead.
- Don't get it twisted: if you're engaging with or proliferating rowling's intellectual property, you're contributing to this and the rest of her feverish anti-trans campaigning. There's so much excellent fiction out there, you don't need to dwell on hers.
- Want to read awesome wizard young adult fiction without giving money and mind-space to bigoted transphobic terf? read the series i grew up with, the “young wizards” series by diane duane.
4. Fan Fiction como Acto de Resistencia y Reclamo.
La fan fiction emerge como una forma de resistencia y reapropiación del universo de Harry Potter. Se ve como una manera de continuar disfrutando del mundo mágico, pero llenándolo de personajes e ideologías inclusivas (como personajes trans y feministas) que la autora original excluyó, todo ello sin generarle beneficios económicos.
- I will forever stand by the notion that the best way to get under j.k. Rowling's skin is by writing lots of fan fiction with trans characters and proper feminist ideologies.
- If you are a harry potter fan, and can't imagine not having those characters in your life, the very best thing you can do is write your own hp-based fiction. The artist is abhorrent, so take what you love and make your own art with it.
- I saw an academic presentation once on harry potter fan fiction. It turns out harry potter has a higher percentage of same sex romanticism and male pregnancy which now i think of as ironically amusing even thought i haven’t read any.
- I’ll never stop writing gay ass harry potter fan fiction but jkr is never gonna get another fuckin dime out of me and i’m not watching that hbo show.
