Exactly. You can love harry potter without liking JK in the slightest, there are two different things. And you don't get to ruin other people's enjoyment of a franchise just because you're having a fight with the author. The whole thing is kind of silly

The second you are promoting it is where the problem lies, like how can you not see that? And how the fuck is it ruining if I simply point out she's a huge hateful piece of shit? If that makes it tough to enjoy, boo fucking hoo, you have morals at odds with your wants, find a way to deal with it.
