outside of this thread, it's a forbidden topic, while the others are not. I would have loved to discussed Hogwarts legacy when it came out and i'll happily love to discuss the show/casting but i think the thread would be closed.

I think as long as you stuck to the actual show and game and not the author, you’d be fine.

It’s never going to stick just to the show/game without the author. Because nothing says “Eff you” to the people the people she’s actively hurting than discussing any of her new license products as if the big transphobic elephant in the room isn’t there.

To try to make my point crystal clear for the last time: You're allowed to make threads about their works, you can not as far as i am aware make a separate thread about Harry Potter anything (video game,tv show, movies etc) IF Lovecraft, Howard and others were treated the same you would not be allowed or strongly discouraged.

I get what you're saying.

If Charlie and the chocolate factory had been released today, we'd be talking about how unsafe and unhealthy everything is, among other aspects.

FWIW, the most recent movies DID get some fan based criticism along those lines.

(Also, because my Dad is an MD with an MPH, I grew up discussing the bad food handling practices in the ORIGINAL film.)

- The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales are an incoherent mess, the product of unholy necromancy on Tolkien’s waste paper basket to keep the money coming. They are not as bad as their main by product, the Fionavar Tapestry.

I can understand the confusion about The Silmarillion, but what exactly led you to expect a coherent narrative from an anthology book titled "Unfinished Tales"?

I don't think the book was trying to hide what it was, so I find "incoherent mess" a puzzling complaint.
