Hey everyone,

I started a couple of Harry Potter themed communities focused on various Harry Potter Ships, they’re based off of the Subreddits with the same names, and I’m looking for some potential moderators to help manage them, as well as some potential users.

    It’s not a very popular topic on Lemmy

    Yeah. There are a lot of trans and queer users around here, and anything to do with the High Transphobe of TERF Island is bound to get a bit of the cold shoulder.

    And rightly so.

      I completely understand where you’re coming from.

      I happen to be Queer myself (MtF, Pansexual, although all of my life, I have been forced to present as Male.)

      Where I am coming from is:

      1.) As the other commenter mentioned, there’s no monetary value for JKR for there to be HP-Themed communities.

      2.) By making Fics, “non-canon” pairings, Fan-Art, etc., YOU control the initiative.

      I.e, you want Harry to be gay, make him gay, want him to be trans, BAM!, now he’s Trans.

      You can make him Gay /Straight/Black/White/Fat/Slim/Good/Evil/etc.

      Same thing with all of the other characters.

      Don’t let JKR win by ruining it for you.

      3.) It’s not like I set up a requirement that everyone who joins has to donate to a gofundme for JKR, Joining and participating is COMPLETELY free.

      IDK, just my two cents.

        Yes there is, because it helps keep her relevant

      That community is doing okay. From an ethical perspective, the author doesn’t get any benefit from us posting meme or fan arts about that universe.

        That’s totally ok. I know there are critiques of that, but by and large I don’t agree with them.

        It’s just that thinking about Harry Potter stuff makes me think of the wicked witch of the TERFs, and that makes me sad. And angry.

        And I need to save my anger for other stuff right now.

      Well that’s people voting with their feet which is their right.

      The same way people who like potter have right to do their sin in peace in a some corner of fedi.
