Honestly, I get the anger and the outrage even if I am never going to get the problem. To me, this feels like a issue that exists for people who experience racial and antisemetic issues too

People still listen to Kanye, drive volvos, support cops etc. Issues that are constantly brought up are often ignored. Frustration leads to Riots, which leads to news covering it in a negative way and people being told hey you are dragging the movement down

its a endless cycle but I really dont know what the solution is

I honestly think the only real solution is money. These individuals and companies have power and influence and a platform because they have money. The only realm thing you can do as a single entity person is just not buy the game and take the $5 out of JKRs pocket. It's basically inconsequential, but there aren't a whole lot of other options that don't result in poor press and crappy "take the high ground" arguments that often hurt the movements in the eye of the public.

The status quo is strong and when "super angry" is the response with doses of violence, all the non effected go "omg these people are so bad I can't support them" because it's just so easy to disregard people when you think "they aren't good people".

I get why there is anger, and it's super easy for me to say as a privileged white cis dude (who is bi but whatever), but I don't actually think the anger is productive. I think it just provides ammo to all the fence sitter's to say "ya I dunno, they seem really angry and violent" and just dismiss.
