Definitely fuck her. But I don’t see harm in using/pirating her IP for our own entertainment, long as we don’t put any money towards her, which I don’t.

it's keeping the IP alive and the demand high, which directly translates to money for her.

I'm afraid at this point without fanarts like this it would be as much relevant as with them. You can't cancel almost two decades of popularity, but also people won't suddenly start reading some books only because the genderbend version of one character is hot.

You can stop contributing to it, though. That's the point.

My point is that Malfoid fanarts don't contribute to anything. Gooners draws pretty anime girls because they're pretty anime girls, they don't care about that franchise in that context and most people who'll see these fanarts wont care either besides "damn, that's pretty anime girl". This whole trend will die within a month anyway.

They contribute to keeping HP relevant in the general zeitgeist without proper context. Any mention of Harry Potter should have this context, and any mention without it should be admonished.
