Think off-brand Michael Meyers mask.

I'm on board with this kind of content.

No worries. Why did you think this was spam?

I do have moderator experience and I am interested with working with you to make communities that aren't safe spaces for bigots. I can help you mod !harrypotter@literature.cafe and !jkisabigot@literature.cafe - but I don't support creating a separate community to direct discussion of JK Rowling away from the Harry Potter community. That places news about HP's toxic social side effects where it is easily ignored, and makes !hp a safe space for bigots.

I think directing JK Rowling discussion from !jkisabigot to !harrypotter and HP memes from !hp to !jkisabigot is hilarious. People who join the Fediverse and look for a Harry Potter community will probably come to !harrypotter first and experience a sorting hat of sorts. If they're not a bigot, and they learn that actual Harry Potter literature discussion happens in !jkisabigot, and !harrypotter is for the latest news on JK Rowling's hate campaigns, they'll get the joke. If they endorse JK Rowling's ideology, it will send the not so subtle message that maybe the Fediverse isn't for them.

All of Lemmy doesn't need to constantly hear about JK Rowling and her evil. People who are supporting her directly need to know.

It sounds like you feel you're the victim because you're concerned you won't be able to enjoy Harry Potter on Lemmy without being reminded that your enjoyment is ruining the lives of others. Would you say that's accurate?

it derails the actual focus of the community.

What is the actual focus of the community? I've already suggested creating another community that explicitly acknowledges how bad JK Rowling is, and posting memes there. So it sounds like you're saying the actual focus of the community is enjoying Harry Potter along with people who explicitly support JK Rowling's ongoing campaign to harm trans people, while censoring people who support human rights. Why can't you enjoy Harry Potter memes in an alternate community called !jkisabigot or something similar?

Happy Pride!

Cast all the good roles for transgender actors and actresses exclusively. Cast a JK lookalike as Dolores Umbridge.

In another thread, they're discussing suppressing posts like this in the future.

It is the most active, has the most active subscribers, has an active mod. It's also the only one considering suppressing news about how increasing the cultural value of Harry Potter is funding hate.

On Reddit, the Joe Rogan subreddit organically developed into a forum for trashing Joe Rogan. I think it's embarrassing that the most popular JK Rowling community on the Fediverse isn't dedicated to exclusively reporting on her quest to dehumanize and erase trans people.

There are plenty of places where discussion of her abhorrent views are either suppressed, or allowed to exist alongside fun memes about the work that funds her vendetta against women. If there is any uplifting moral message contained in those books, then the primary community for Harry Potter on the Fediverse should exist to lead a revolt against the author.

June is Pride month, and Rowling has announced her intention to use her fortune to escalate attacks on trans people. I'm surprised there are people who think we should be discussing anything else here but that. I know people love sharing uplifting HP memes, maybe a separate community can be created for that purpose. We could call it !slytherinmemes or !umbridgesoffice to highlight how evil it is to continue to fund her work, or !jkrownlingisatransphobe or !jkrowlingisabigot to play on the ironic meme common in community namespaces like /r/marijuanaenthusiasts being about arboriculture while /r/trees is about marijuana.

I love the meme is based on the tarot art of 7 of swords carrying swords and the 9 of swords mounted on the wall, and is consistent with the number of items collected increasing from left to right :)
