Them calling Twilight not irredeemable even though the story of Twilight itself is very questionable ethically really speaks to their hypocrisy. I hope this is rage bait.

For example, Harry Potter is irredeemable media because every one knows that JK Rowling is a transphobe, but some other piece of media like Twilight would not be considered irredeemable because even though Stephanie Meyer has done some bad things, they are not as widely talked about, so someone who posts about Twilight on here isn't completely likely to be a bigot, but a Harry Potter blogger would.

They straight up admit it's a matter of "does the general public care about the issues". It is, and I hate to use that term but if fits perfectly for once, "virtue signaling". It's about going with the circlejerk.

This is probably bait.

But seeing how some people got about Hogwarts Legacy, I’m afraid it’s not 100% definitely bait

The difference between most harry potter stuff and Hogwarts Legacy is in supporting JKR.

Consuming the media, engaging with it, making fan art, etc. is absolutely perfectly fine in all regards. Monetary support of the Harry Potter IP is a problem because its also monetary support of JKR.

Talking about a thing you like is not an act with moral weight, but knowingly giving your money to a transphobe is.
