Anytime anything popular gets dragged here there’s always a few “let people enjoy things” and “don’t ruin peoples fun” and “don’t be a weird cynical hipster” and what have you.
Except for the most popular series of children books in history. For whatever reason that’s apparently weapons free for Hater Team 6 to go to town on. I’ve seen people say was shouldn’t ruin peoples “favorite toy” when it comes to sports, Twilight, Marvel Movies and astrology, but what makes those sacrosanct and Harry Potter fair game?
This applies somewhat to Hamilton too.
If Rowling had passed away upon completion of the final Harry Potter book (2007) while publicly holding transphobic views (which she didn't yet), one could maaaaaybe make an argument that enjoying her work isn't problematic because she was a victim of prevailing sentiment of her time. But as a living, breathing, and very active opponent of transgender people throughout the last decade- one in which recognition and acceptance is being fiercely fought over (and incrementally advancing)- she has left no doubt that she is a monstrous bigot incapable of change. In light of this, how can you overlook the person and casually enjoy her work?
Her work also contains blatant antisemitism, support of slavery, and SV/SA as punishment against a “bad” character.
