I wonder if there's any reason why they might not feel comfortable communicating with their partner. 🤔🤔🤔

First time I've seen my little corner of the world mentioned here. The Hixson Target is still wayy better than the Gunbarrel one. I'm convinced that Target is single-handedly keeping the company afloat.

Clearly these are free range marshmallows.

I understand why this is so painful, and I really appreciate you sharing how you feel. I grew up with HP, and while it was part of my childhood, I don’t support the author’s views at all. I get why seeing people casually reference the series or buy merchandise can be upsetting when it feels like it’s indirectly supporting someone who actively harms the trans community. That said, I think it's important for people to be able to talk about the series and its impact on them without automatically being labeled a bigot. Acknowledging the harm the author has caused doesn’t mean we can’t still discuss the cultural impact of the books. People should be more mindful, but I don’t think we should shut down conversations about it entirely. Thanks for sharing your perspective—I’ll keep this in mind moving forward.

And I can acknowledge that while also having nostalgia for books that I grew up with as a literal child. Judge away.

Anecdote: As a member of the generation that grew up with HP, no one I know is supporting the IP financially. We grew up with the books and movies and that's it. This is just one of many cultural issues that's dividing the left. Cool I guess?

Edit: typos

I just find this argument to be ridiculous. If you grew up with the bookes and movies and own them what harm are you doing by still enjoying those memories?

I've trained a lot of 18-22 y/os in the last 10 years and they are fine. Let's not become the boomers please...
