@zinzod1n@ReubenTJS you cannot avoid all harm in this world learning how to reduce harm and focus on the right thing to fight against at a time matters supporting harry potter supports jkr who then uses that support to target us this is much easier to fight against than an entire media conglomerate
@zinzod1n@ReubenTJS this is also why for boycotts people dont say to avoid anything that supports __ they pick specified targets to boycott in particular because it is the most effective in sending the message and then can slowly expand from there these things have nuance to them
@zinzod1n@ReubenTJS and all of these site (except tumblr maybe?) plus bluesky actively push ai which is horrible for so many reasons. and the same can be said for other important sites like youtube, discord, ect, its all ran by terrible people and you cant avoid it
@zinzod1n@ReubenTJS instagram and facebook are also owned by a terrible person and for Americans tiktok our servers are ran by a company that also funds israel iirc. and although not mentioned tumblr is known to be incredibly transphobic and unjustly bans trans people all the time
lowkey the more i see people act like hes some innocent little baby who can do no wrong and anyone who dares to criticize him is actually just trying to cancel him the more i want to post those clips to prove he isnt as good as they think but that would be very unproductive ijbol
@zinzod1n@ReubenTJS none of us like elon either but using social media is basically a requirement to engaging with society in modern day and every social media is ran by terrible people so there is really no escaping it, talking about how much you like a book series to a camera however is not.
@yomommaisabot nobody is calling him transphobic everyone knows he isnt but the problem and reason we are criticizing him is because he wont stop talking about it which is basically an advertisement especially to his target audience which are kids ,sc from a diff thread explaining more
@zinzod1n@ReubenTJS when you have a platform like that you have a responsibility to not endorse stuff that the creators use to fund their hate campaigns against minorities trying to remove our rights and if you fail to do that it is not unjust for us to criticize you for it
@zinzod1n@ReubenTJS when you are as big as he is praising anything becomes an endorsement of it and is basically telling his audience that they should like it too. grian is not a random person on the internet he is a man with nearly 9 million subscribers who gets a million views on every video
Something being popular doesn't absolve someone from critique, associating or mentioning the ip is a direct association and endorsement of its author cause no matter how hard you want to believe it, you cant seperate the art from the artist if the artist is still alive.
@ReubenTJS said kids WILL see him their favorite youtuber talk about how awesome and amazing hp is and then WANT TO BUY IT which supports jkr,, like this should be obvious theres a reason youtuber sponsorships exist
@ReubenTJS No! but he is shitty for constantly talking about it & prasing it which is an ACTIVE ENDORSEMENT OF THE SERIES while never saying ANYTHING about how he disagrees with jkr you seem to forget he is a popular youtuber with millions of subs with a lot being young impressionable kids
wow people really dont want to accept that when youre popular talking about how much you love something is active endorsement for it and pushes people to be interested in and buy it especially when you dont make any acknowledgement of how the creator of it is as a person
people are disagreeing in the quotes, Get your head our of your asses, people. You Guys are scared of admitting Grian is kinda a shitty person for this😭
the word queer was reclaimed because the meaning changed from derogatory to explanatory. you guys are still using the r word as a substitute for stupid, thats not reclaiming
