As much as i hate JKR i will not tolerate any slander or hatred aimed towards the kids that get casted in the Harry Potter reboot.

If they get accurate aged kids then they’re gonna be between 10-12/13 years old to represent year 7’s (11-12.) Chances are they’re child actors aiming for a big break which shouldn’t be biased on who they author of the books are or they are being pushed by their parents which is something that happens more often than not.

I refuse. point blank refuse to fuckin ‘cancel’ any kids casted. They are children and they deserve a chance.

I won’t be watching it. But i will not obliterate a child’s chances to succeed based on a woman’s shitty view of human beings

This is why the best thing to do isn't to hatewatch the show, or to meme on it, or drag it down. The best thing to do is starve it for viewers.

The kids on the show aren't the problem. They're innocent in this.

You wanna hurt the producers, the directors, the people actively contibuting to the issue?

Don't watch the show. Don't talk about the show. Ignore it.

Transphobes will pump up the view count for a bit purely for the sake of transphobia, just like they did with Hogwarts Legacy. And then, also like Hogwarts Legacy, the popularity will fade and the majority of transphobes, who don't like this stupid series and only pretend to for the sake of being antisemitic, transphobic pricks... will move on.

Ignore it and let it die. That's the safest option to starve JKR's popularity and wallet and also to protect the kids on the show.

The 2023 Gender Census is now open!

The 10th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 9th May 2023.

It’s short and easy, about 5 minutes probably.

After the survey is closed I’ll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a report summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like we’re part of a huge and diverse community.

If you think you might have friends and followers who’d be interested, please do reblog this blog post, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks. Every share is extremely helpful - it’s what helped us get 40,000 responses last year.

The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesn’t fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.

Thank you so much!

So far so good, the survey has been open for about 8 hours and there are almost 6,000 responses! Keep 'em coming, folks!

If you're into this sort of thing, I've made the usual public spreadsheet of data-crunching, which I'm hoping to update manually twice a day or so. (Probably more often towards the beginning of the survey, while everything is busy!)

It compares this year's participation with the previous two years, and gives some info about ages and locations of participants, plus how everyone's finding the survey this year.

Personally I don’t believe the goblin joke cause Willy’s hatred of the Closes. Glenn had already been disproportionately fucked over by the o dads. You know what I think did cause it? Stud’s crush on Meryl. Imagine every fucking day your stupid uncle talks about this goddamn actor and your a homophobe and a serial killer. Mayhaps you would vow to fuck over his bloodline always and forever.

Freddie playing dnd with himself is possibly the funniest thing to ever happen. Also bonus of Jimmy roasting Freddie for his improv.

[Audio Transcript:

[laughter]

Freddie: And they’re like, this is the most fun I’ve ever had! So Taylor’s anticipating the worst possible outcome so he’s steeled himself for it. So he’s going to adjust his spin trajectory-

[laughter]

Freddie: As it’s spiraling, Taylor’s gonna be like

Taylor: He’s making a move!

Freddie: And then Taylor’s gonna like throw his head around the other direction to like change the directory of the fucking- you know what I’m saying dude? So then this candy cane-

Jimmy: This is like-

Anthony: [Still dying of laughter]

Freddie: So! So Glenn interrupts, Glenn holds a fucking sick twisted bend on the fucking 12th fret of the B-string as he turns around and grabs the candy cane out of the air dude! And then he’s face to face with Taylor and he’s like

[everyone is laughing throughout]

Glenn: Heh, you think you’ve got what it takes to defeat me?

Freddie: [laughing] and then Taylor, okay-

[everyone laughs for a solid 6 seconds, also Anthony still sounds like a seal]

Freddie: Taylor goes

Taylor: You’re quicker than I thought old man

[everyone laughs even louder for 8 full seconds]

Freddie: And Glenn goes

Glenn: Heh, nothing personnel kid

Freddie: And he throws- and he throws the fucking candy cane into like space! Like as hard as he can

[everyone laughing]

Matt: He just throws it up and it never comes down?

[music fades out]

Matt: I was gonna say you could give him the big like you know sad eyeballs and be like grandpa you know. It’s like, give him something to make him- to faze him

Jimmy: Well technically, he’s not his grandpa

Freddie: Yeah technically no.

Matt: W- well he cares

Freddie: Technically Jodie’s my grandpa

Jimmy: Yeah technically I’m your grandpa

Matt: Oh how’re you related to Glenn

Jimmy: [aggressively] He’s Not!!

Freddie: I’m not

Matt: Oh you’re not

Jimmy: Canonically

Freddie: Yeah he’s just like, a guy

Matt: Oh, yeah

Anthony: Spiritually kind of-

Matt: But like Taylor doesn’t care

Jimmy: Spiritually because it’s Freddie behind the wheel both times

Freddie: Spiritually kind of in the same way like, I playing guitar am spiritually connected with Stevie Ray Vaughan but I’m not related to him whatsoever, ya know

Anthony: Yeah

Freddie: We share a bond through the kinship of music

Jimmy: And Taylor and Glenn share a bond through the kinship of this is just how Freddie improvises

[laughter]
