    Pirating Harry Potter stuff is now not only a moral thing to do, but almost a moral obligation.

      I have always hated Harry Potter. I hated Harry before it was cool to hate Harry.

      I’m a mother fucking golden hipster God!

      I’d say just don’t engage with it at all.

      If someone talks about it, pretend ignorance. Like total ignorance of any aspect of the stories.

      Or, if someone mentions it, just say you don’t give bigots money.

      Editing to expand: by pirating you are perpetuating the cultural impact. The majority of people pay for access to this media, and by engaging with it you make it more costly for other people to skip it.

        Even if you pirated, speaking about the movies will encourage other people to watch it, and they might not pirate it. It’s indirect, but it could still give that transphobic doll money
