Fuck advertising hooks/campaigns in general. Fuck advertising in general. The way I am forced into viewing ads...everything should be free.

Ads make me less likely to buy something. Ads make me irrationally annoyed.

The only ethically ok and correct way to experience Harry Potter in 2026 is with the Wizard People dub.

This year's Back to Hogwarts also marks the 25th anniversary since the release of the first film adaptation [of the book]...

I am just curious where the line is drawn that makes it less a powderkeg of outrage and starts being worthy of at least an historical acknowledgement in recognition of the victim. If it's not film adaptations of books, is it once there are musicals based on film adaptations of books written by authors who have expressed offensive viewpoints? Or poems summarizing musicals based on film adaptations of books written by authors who have expressed offending viewpoints?

I'm trying to be honest and not make this tongue-in-cheek.
