please don’t start shit in the comments, i’m too disabled to care
Hey I want y’all to know that I’m locking this, but:
I agree with OP. Burning Harry Potter books doesn’t hurt anyone. No one here would give a shit if it was burning a copy of some horrid book. And Harry Potter isn’t going to be out of print any time soon.
When Nazis did it, it was a complete removal of the only copies of a queer library in Germany. OP can’t do that to Harry Potter.
I’m only locking this to save the mod team and the admins the headache. I can only expect transphobia, ableism, and “but that nazis also burned books!!! youre as bad as the nazis!!!”.
I do not like the cunt but destroying books is a line even I won’t cross. Just don’t feed into the wizarding world anymore. Move on.
i felt differently about my personal childhood copies after coming out as a trans woman ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it’s not like i went to the shop and bought a new set just to burn like a republican would have
The tone just got very fast very hostile in this Instance. And I don’t like that at all.

“hurrrr durrrr both sides are bad ackshually”
this is you, this is what you sound like.
I mean I don’t think that’s at all what they were doing and tbh that was pretty rude. They just thought it was funny how something managed to offend two completely opposed groups for completely different reasons.

Coming from the person that’s starting shit in the comments…
bite me
Is that an actual invitation cause that’s a thing for me
only if you’re also a girl with a penis (girls that formerly owned a penis are welcome to apply)
I gotta say, burnings books is a pretty bad look, no matter what the book is.
Plenty people love Harry Potter in spite of Joanne’s really unfortunate views, and by burning this book rather than putting it back in circulation second-hand through Half Price Books or something, you’re encouraging the publisher to print more books and make Joanne more money
I don’t know, burning a pile of copies of mein kampf would be pretty based, I think it really depends on the book.

Kind of embarrassing for you that right above this you started shit in the comments
Edit: This comment before I changed it said “Really unfortunate you’re choosing not to engage.”
Really unfortunate you think someone with a disability owes you something. it’s a meme. this is a meme group. you want to “engage” someone on it, go post in a discussion group.
or ya know, go suck my dick, idc either way.
edit: sick edit, still don’t care if im being “rude”,
as your original comment stated,to someone who had to post their super smart observation in response to a memeI’m also disabled. That doesn’t mean you can just say/do anything without consequences.
Nobody said you owed them anything.
Nobody said you owed them anything.
Easy to say if you didn’t see the original, completely different comment before it was edited. Please shove it with the respectability politics. I am tired, out of spoons and I gave fair warning. I don’t owe anyone politeness, especially so on this topic.
someone with a disability
why is that relevant here?

Being disabled means the person is incapable of maintaining enough working hours to support themselves under our current systems.
Being disabled does not mean the person is granted the right to redefine social interactions to preference, and to demand everyone else comply.
If you truly felt you owed them nothing, then nothing compelled you to respond. If you truly did not want to respond, you would not respond. “Look what you’re making me do” isn’t a valid stance - it’s manipulation - because you’re in control of your own actions. No one made you respond but you.
Introspect. You’re making your life more difficult than it needs to be.
I posted in response to your “hurrrr durrrr” comment, and never called you rude, that is someone else above.
You’re right, my mistake. Still don’t give a shit. Still not going to be polite about it. Telling me to engage about this is the same sort of tacit transphobia as saying there’s still a debate to be had about trans people’s right to exist. A vocal minority of fuckwits does not mean there’s cause for a discourse.
Nah, it’s much closer to Nietzsche’s “Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process they do not become monsters.”

Yeah, shit books for simpletons. And that’s before we get into any of the political shit.
