You can't opt out of capitalism. You can opt out of not funding Rowling

If making excuses for virulent transphobes is the best of lemmy in your mind, I'm concerned about what would qualify as the worst...

As I said, if not voluntarily giving money to or making excuses for someone who will use that money to hurt people is too much to ask of someone, then their context and intent is quite clear.

Including yours.

"I grew up with Harry Potter and loved it and I'm interested to see the new [whatever]" is not equivalent to promoting transphobia.

It is equivalent, because in this case, it is literally promoting transphobia. One of the worlds leading transphobes will directly benefit from the profits this show makes, and will directly turn those profits against dismantling the rights of trans folk.

This isn't an analogy, it's not dramatic license, or over exaggeration.

You cannot make a black and white determination like that without context and intent.

If you know she will hurt trans people with the money she makes, and you do things that continue to make her money (which includes just advocating for continued consumption of her work), it is black and white, and the context and intent are quite visible.

By itself, it doesn't mean someone is transphobic. But it does mean that at the very least, personal nostalgia is more important to that person than the harm their actions cause. And that is plenty of intent and context.

I don't know, maybe they have a specific agreement with Patreon or something. But in general, that's how Patreon like services work with YouTube

It's how Youtube does it...

It's possible to post unlisted videos that are only visible to folk with the URL.

Its good for folk who want to give their subscribers early access

That was my very point :)

I use a Galaxy fold, and honestly, you can take my folding phone from my cold dead hands, because there is no other way I'm giving them up.

It feels like somewhere in the Glasshouse Mountains, looking towards the Sunshine Coast, but I can't pin down where.
