It’s one of the first things I would expect from a site like this. I know that J.K. Rowlings views are very controversial to put it mildly, but:
- The fandom/books are not the author
- Harry Potter will become a part of the Fediverse at some point anyways - better to support it early on and shape its developing rather than having a company build a H.P. social network on top of the fediverse, which will be to our disadvantage
- In terms of potential users, this could be huge for the threadiverse
- We are in the Fediverse: defederation is always a possibility
Or was it just never tried before / no one wanted to yet?
Your “separate the author from the works” is your opinion
Even if we do separate them, the works themselves are brimful of problematic tropes and stereotypes
I don’t want Harry Potter fans coming here, good god. I’d rather sound with a habanero-infused DS stylus than hang out with Harry Potter fans.
Hey, I’m a fan of the universe, I hope I’m still welcome here
Thanks for the heads up. I’ll block you to improve my experience
I also like Harry Potter, will you block me as well?
Sure thing, Steve-O
Man, these TERF book fans make it easy!
Use the Force, Harry!
Blockus accountus!
You like Star Trek, maybe that makes it even
I mean, we’ve interacted with you quite a lot in the past, always in a pleasant manner, but you do you.
Well, number 3 is an image I won’t be able to unthink….
To quote you: That’s your opinion
Obviously. Unlike OP, I didn’t present it as an absolute fact.
