I have thought the same thing. Like you, I stopped consuming merchandising and anything that could turn into JK Rowling's check. I don't know if it will be rationalizing, but I live my experience of fandom separate from Rowling and Warner. I don't want to wash HP fandom, in 18 years I have seen some very good things and some very unpleasant ones too; but, mainly, I think that fandom has been able to be a space of enunciation for minorities, especially years ago when there were fewer spaces for them. Personally, the 18 years that I have been here have been a beautiful experience. I have met many people that I love, and I have learned to open myself to subjects that were unknown to me almost two decades ago from my small corner of the world. Honestly, 18 years ago; even 10, I had never even heard of trans people. Fandom was one of the first places from which I came into contact with, and learned to respect, sexual dissidence. Chile has changed now, but personally, it was the fandom that allowed me to grow in these topics, before they were more openly discussed in my country.
