No, but also essentially yes

"you're just not paying attention because you're not a trans ally"

yeah so basically anyone paying attention to trans issues knows about JKR. I don't think I said all harry potter fans are transphobic, so that was a fun little thing for you to make up I guess, but I would say that fans of Harry Potter who don't know the controversy are not trans allies. She is the anti-trans celebrity. Her letter was huge news.

Harry Potter fans have likely at least seen one or two hate comments about the video game or something.

That does not meet my experiences of reality in the US at least, very few businesses open to walk-in customers would be closed at 5pm, and parking lots usually serve for multiple businesss or just a spot to park and then go downtown.

It's not about my comments, it's mods getting into debates over them and then promising to retaliate. I'm talking about a pattern with certain mods

True

Literally just being a "centrist" is a red flag. All he has to do is say like, oh I don't really have strong opinions on politics.

I mean yeah, she saved kids' lives and now she's dead. She probably had a meaningful impact on a lot of people, and saying who she is and how she was important in the community helps us feel the full impact of her death.

🙄 there are communist countries that are not Russia or China, just like there are capitalist countries that aren't the United States.
