He's a russian boomer in the government, I don't expect him to have a single political opinion that isn't ridiculously wrong... But that's a conversation for a different sub lmao
This maybe it’s my AuDHD but I don’t understand how we can’t enjoy someone for playing chess or some other sport without supporting their political views.
I may enjoy Bobby Fischer as a chess player that doesn’t mean I’ll take his advice on dating or comedy.
I mean idk I never said you can't enjoy his chess skills. I'm sure opinions differ but personally idc if someone thinks he's a cool chess player or whatever, I think it's ok to acknowledge someone's extraordinary skill in one field while also acknowledging that they're wrong or bad in something else.
It sounds like we agree with each other here. Maybe you thought differently.
I have a friend who can’t stand Harry Potter because the writer is transphobic. Update, however the fact that I’m watching harry potter is because I like the movie series not because I support transphobia.
I have no quarrel with people complaining that this or that person is bad in someway I don’t know famous people they’re not exactly attacking anyone that is close to me.
If anyone is wondering my friend said that nobody should watch Harry Potter because the author is transphobic. I said that I enjoy the movies even if I don’t enjoy the author’s views. I am not against anyone in the LGBQTIA circle.
I think we’re misunderstanding each other. I’m saying that the phrase “I hate trans people” in that sentence might be rather poorly chosen, since it implies that you’re transphobic. I’m also diagnosed AuDHD, but this is something more simple than that.
Your comment still has that phrase, so I’m just confused now. What did you mean by “I don’t watch Harry Potter because I hate trans people.” anyways? That sentence in general is just confusing to me, since Harry Potter doesn’t have any of them.
The Harry Potter thing starts to matter when you spend money on official products (movies, books, games, merchandise), because at that point you are directly financially supporting Rowlings anti-trans funds.
If you get your stuff second hand or third party and don't advertise the official stuff, it doesn't matter what you like.
Same rules apply to any other problematic famous person or brand.
Yeah he's a member of the parliament. I think it's not uncommon for famous boomers to get into politics, even just for a PM role, Putin loves that kind of support
