disgusting stuff

 

Dropping a reminder in light of news out of the UK that buying any licensed Harry Potter merchandise or watching movies on streaming platforms or continuing to buy new video games is directly giving money to JK which she then uses to fund things like the recent ruling that trans women are by UK law not women. People are gonna do what they want but maybe some people who didn’t believe their dollars mattered here will change their minds

 

I know some people waffle under the whole 'no ethical consumption under capitalism' schtick but with JK it's a pretty fucking clear line

 

Aren’t NDA’s not enforceable if the act they disclose is criminal?

 

Generally but it’s not that simple from what I understand. Either way so much abuse especially against women isn’t criminalized so I don’t think that really should matter when talking about getting rid of them

 

Man I just googled this and the way it’s being discussed by media and other people with influence is gross as hell. Everyone just assumes it’s a money grab because of the attorney she has, and everyone interpreting a phone call where he said he would choke the shit out of her after she called him manipulative in the best of all possible lights for Sharpe (she was 19 when they started dating so he probably was manipulative). Sports media and really male sports in general is a cesspool of rape apologists. Maybe he can show she is lying but let him do that before you just assume so.

 

Saw this after I threw my copy of American Gods in a box I took to donate. What a piece of shit.

 

Did his lawyer want him to post the text message screenshot lol

 

The other super gross thing that doesn’t get mentioned enough in these is the famous celebrity naming the accuser. Laws protecting women are so fake that although they are entitled to be anonymous there are no repercussions for just naming them publicly. It was a tactic made famous by Kobe Bryant and his team in his criminal case, and his victim went on to receive nonstop slut shaming abuse from his fans. Wish it was a bigger part of his discussed legacy. I’m seeing Sharpe’s accuser’s name and photo posted on every story because he decided to make it public. Can’t imagine what she’s dealing with because of that.

 

Yeah it’s really hard to get, John…

 

I hate how it says its anti trans rhetoric, like it isnt so much more than rhetoric

 

I was about to make a comment about Dressed to Kill, but I just looked it up and it appears that was Michael Caine, NOT John Lithgow, and now I'm questioning all of my film knowledge

 

He played a trans character in garp thought

 

GARP?

 

Dexter was right all along.

 

The World According to Garp (film) - Wikipedia

This plotline sounds like a fever dream.

 

It's definitely a wild movie

 

Don’t think they’re going to be calling him a “very good friend” anymore

 

Paapa Essiedu being a part of this is meaningless since he took the Harry Potter part

 

That’s some nutty cognitive dissonance. JKR will probably have him fired

 

Christ

 

Sounds like family beef and none of my business
