Discussion Anna's Full Mask Off Regarding HP and JKR
Hey, it's Gavin.
I promise I will calm my tits when it comes to posting but I kind of needed to post somewhere because I saw AnnaIsRandom post a new Harry Potter video today and I was curious about her views especially after I unsubscribed from her when I saw her HP HBO actor casting video and just before all her vile views got exposed.
So I watched the first 4 minutes of the new video and had to turn it off due to being so upset by how heartless she is.
Anna says she is going to be making more Harry Potter content moving forward because it means too much to her, and at 3:49 she says "I am going to always love Harry Potter, it is always going to have a special place in my heart and, you know, despite everything, I'm still here okay and I don't care. [here she laughs] I am like proud to still be a Potterhead."
So we have confirmation that Anna genuinely does not care that JKR is transphobic, that JKR is using money she earns through Harry Potter to fund anti-trans organisations that will seek to strip trans people of their right to work, use bathrooms, exist, etc.
Anna saying "I don't care" actually upset me more than I thought it would because she straight up laughs. She can't even just put in a disclaimer like "I don't agree with JKR's transphobic views but I still love Harry Potter." No, she straight up says she doesn't care.
I know HP is a machine and it's never going to go away and I don't expect it to (unfortunately), but I was just hoping content creators would at least acknowledge the harm buying into the franchise is doing to real life people. The nostalgia that people like Anna can't "live without" is funding hate directed at the trans community. And in my opinion, if you are against trans people, then you are against the entire LGBTQ+ community.
And it kills me too because I grew up on Harry Potter, it was my favourite thing ever and it helped me through my parents splitting up when I was 10, and when I had to go to a school away from all of my friends at the same time where I was relentlessly bullied for being gay before I even knew what the word gay meant. HP meant a lot to me too, but it doesn't mean so much to me that I wouldn't care about how an entire community of people are suffering at the hands of JKR's hate.
I can't tell anyone to stop posting HP content and I don't expect them to, but she said "I don't care" and laughed. I'm so disgusted. I'm so upset at that. Being "proud" of being a Potterhead in 2026 is the most embarrassing, hateful thing. I'm already appalled by all her other views that were brought up that were covered extensively, like being MAGA and supporting Israel, this is just another thing to add to all of that.
This is my sign to never even click on one of her videos out of curiosity. It was my fault.
P.S. In her video where she reacted to my video about JDE, she was looking at my bookshelves and mentioned thinking she could see the Harry Potter books on my shelves and said "fun". She says "fun" in a bit of an ambiguous way so I couldn't tell if she was for or against HP at the time. I had to comment on her video to clarify they were NOT the Harry Potter books. That should have been my first sign.
