      I don't know who would pay that much money to have seven books' covers changed, but they need to have it taken away from them.

    Considering how much Rowling ripped off the 80s movie "Troll" for Harry Potter's backstory, wizard lineage, even his fucking name, I think this is poetic justice. :troll:

      “Just removing the name isn’t enough, Harry Potter shouldn’t be in schools, it shouldn’t be sold in stores or online, fucking censor this transphobic garbage, and fucking put a bullet in JK Rowling’s face!”

      “I’ve been on hexbear for three days, and I think I’m really fitting in, boss! I sound just like a blue-haired SJW!”

        If anyone is struggling with convincingly hiding that they're a fed while also promoting legally actionable political violence, please feel free to DM me.
