Oh, so there were hints that she's a piece of shit long before the whole trans-breakdown, literally in the first book?

Eh, it's a whimsical joke sport with absurd rules in a book for 8 year olds. Frustration from thinking about it logically is self-inflicted.

I mean there were plenty of signs she's a piece of shit even in the first book, that just isn't one of them. Shaun has a good video on the topic if you care.

I would lvoe if somehow she lost the rights to the world of Harry potter, and the first thing they did was have Harry say no one deserves to be trap in their own bodies.

I have to say that i find this whole concept fascinating from a philosophical and academic perspective because when every sale of a product is going into the pocket of said person that you are insulting, is there actually an insult that has taken place? This is basically Schrodinger's insult territory.

You know what this reminds me of? ''Fuck China'' t-shirts. It turns out that if you buy a protest T-shirt, 9 times out of 10 that T-shirt is coming from a sweat shop in China. You are actively giving the CCP money just for the privilege of telling them to fuck off. You are in every way down on this deal because not only are they richer off the back of your money but they do not care what you think.

Che Guevara T-shirts and merchandise from back in the day. That's another good one. Anti-capitalist, socialism loving students would literally hang this guy's face off their wall thinking that they were making a statement, all the while there was some corporation somewhere printing this stuff off on mass and making millions off it. You could not find a more pro-capitalist way to say that you hate capitalism.

I'm not making any particular point here btw. Like I say, I find such a concept to be very interesting.

That is a fair point, that why I boycott all Harry Potter stuff.
