It's an excuse to bully people. That's what it is, at least in this thread. You see someone likes harry potter, then decide, "They like this thing someone I hate made, I'm going to pour out my bad feelings onto them". Don't pretty it up. It doesn't protect trans people to enforce your own special thought crimes. It is not bigoted to like a media that does not, in and of itself, contain bigotry. You don't get to pretend that you're 'moral' for meanspiritedly piling onto people expressing enjoyment of something.
Rowling is a terrible person. But acting like the people who like her stuff are invariably terrible people, or acting like talking about her content is somehow in and of itself bigoted is how you create a puritan bubble.
Does it? I don't recall much. There's some concerning stuff with the goblins and house elves, and it's certainly written by a very british-centered mindset, but I don't think it had any particularly bigoted content, especially not explicitly so.
Also; accusing people of trolling because they disagreed with you. Hm. I wonder which play-book that came from?
Seriously, condemning people to establish your moral standing, pretending that any sort of disagreement isn't just wrong but idiotic.... It's just puritanism dressed up as progressivism.
Not sure what else I'd expect from reddit, though. Especially this sub. Reddit loves this shit.
You're not getting more out of me here, it is very obvious what you are doing. If by some bizarre chance got are being sincere here: consider looking at your own views in a mirror.
