[Meta] The elephant in the room

What are our thoughts regarding posts focusing on (potentially unsavoury) views held by the author of the series?

Is !harrypotter@literature.cafe community a good place to discuss them, or should we hold such discussions elsewhere?

Giving the saga more visibility still keep it relevant in the current popular culture. I haven't given any money to JKR for years, but Hogwarts Legacy was still the best selling game of 2023 with 15 millions copies (https://thesagenews.com/22413/lifestyle/top-selling-games-of-2023/)

On the other hand people will probably argue that she has probably enough money to fund hate actions for generations, and that a local boycott on Lemmy isn't going to achieve much.

It's a debate to have, hence this post.
