Transgenderism isn't about actually being the other gender. It's about being an abomination and forcing other people to play along and do something they are repulsed by.
Guess why they are so against telling their dates about it. They want the power of making people do things they hate.
Yeah. "Trans-ness" in fantasy needs to be a completely different animal, often at allegory-level only, and they treat it like some dystopian version of the real world.
Everything in a fantasy or sci-fi setting inherently comes with a "why?" question. Why is this? Why isn't that?
While every aspect of a character isn't necessarily meant to move the story along, it should still explain the world and setting in some way. A person has a metal arm? Either explain how they got it, or how the tech is important, or otherwise, it isn't important to note. A guy wants to have sex as a female version of himself but is unable to? Why is this plot point relevent? Does it imply some key limitations of the setting's magi/tech? Is it a serious personal character flaw that the immediate solution is readily accessible, but he doesn't want to use it?
It's never about the presence of these characters, it's about the why they exist, narrative-wise. If a wave of a wand and a "Phallus phantasmus" resolves the problem, then why is there a problem? If they DID solve the problem that way ages ago, then why is it still a problem now? Why is a prior issue brought up? Prior issues are brought up as Chekov's Guns. How does long-prior gential dismorphia map onto future critical plot devices and developments? I've yet to see a show that answers these things.
The mere suggestion of r&d into medicine that would make one happy and accepting of the body they were born with will send some of these people into a frenzy. Even if it’s in fiction. Or even if it’s a magic quick change potion you suggest. For some of these people it about the identity of being trans not the actuality of becoming another gender.
At this point I literally want a natural disaster that's so bad it forces the population to pull their heads out of their asses and focus on the actual important things, like survival.
After the dust settles, if it turns out the trans population helped rebuild society and not just act like a bunch of child molesting perverts, they can be accepted.
Until then, all I see is a super-soft society creating problems to "solve" and identifying more "oppressed people" to use as a shield to ram their fascist bullshit through.
Rowling retained her rights to her series and characters.
If they go ahead with this as a commercial endeavor the courts are going to slap them with everything they can. Rowling is richer than many countries and put as much legal pressure on this as she wants.
I clicked on this wondering why the hell Hewlett Packard was making a series. Since it's Harry Potter though, I think they are doing all this even extra on purpose to get back at Rowling for her anti tranny stuff. No better way than to ruin her IP as much as they can.
Sadly will probably be popular too, as there's a huge overlap between raging leftists and those with an unhealthy Harry Potter obsession.

DING DING DING
We have a winner!
This is the most succinctly I've seen it put. Thank you!

All those words just to say "no whites."
Even Tolkien wasn't this inefficient with words.
A web series made by a barely notable tiktok person. This whole things carries about as much weight as tumblr fan fiction.

If the lead role is not played by R2Dindu, I suggest antifa mostly peacefully protest.
They hate us cuz they ain't us
These idiots are going to get sued into oblivion.

See, I thought Lovecraft at first and was wondering how the race/gender of the petty and worthless mortals changes the story at all.
Nasty brat standing there as bold as brass... Friend of mudbloods, half-bloods and blood traitors alike
I read the HP books. I now know not to watch this show. If this is their focus I ain’t interested
But but, you can FINALLY feel like the story can relate to you! The themes and emotions will actually connect now that YOU can relate to a character!
Lol. That has always been a dumb argument. I’ve been a fan of plenty of characters who weren’t my race. Never bothered me
Can these people not just let harry potter go? If they want a diverse story not written by JK rowling, they can go read something else.
