    I think it’s a weird fight between the extreme side of “even liking the franchise makes you a transphobe” and the reasonable correct side of “just as long as she doesn’t get your money it’s not a big deal”

      She’s executive producer on the show, and even if she wasn’t, she gets royalties on her ip in whatever fashion it is used. She is going to make a boatload off the show. And she donates her earnings into anti-trans organizations.

      I think there’s a difference, though, between liking it in private, and talking it up publicly.

      If someone still listened to their Lostprophets albums I’m not going to judge, but if they spent a lot of time posting about how much they loved and still love Lostprophets… that still feels a bit off.
