I honestly think Gen-Z and younger simply does not understand how recent widespread smartphone adoption is.

I am not that old, and I didn't have a smartphone until probably late high school. For most of my life, many if not most people were not walking around with a magic internet machine in their pocket that they pulled out and used constantly for everything.

reblog if you remember having to ration your text messages and accidentally opening the internet on your phone was the end of the world

One Direction, not as a single unit, but as a concept. One Direction as those five boys, together or apart. In the same way John, Paul, George, and Ringo where each still a Beatle even after the band parted ways. One Direction, not only as a memory, but a present phenomena which lives on in each of those boys, in every song they write, in every melody they sing. One Direction never ended. It survives alongside the joy and success of its founders, the men who made it a reality, who continue to honor its legacy.

Appreciate always what we have left of our precious band, because it will never quite be over so long as any of those boys live.

It's not just to have a "do over" that doesn't involve the original cast, it's to cut them out of the royalties. Literally the entire point is to make sure all the money made by Harry Potter goes to transphobes or people willing to work with transphobes.

If you watch it, you are supporting bigotry, hate, and oppression. That's just objective reality. All for a story that you probably have already seen in movie and book form.

#the last point is especially true since the old cast receives royalties for anything with their likeness on it#meaning the original trio still gets money for every mug with their 14 year old faces on it#if they stop making those and replace them with the new cast which they will the old cast gets cut off completely#which is again exactly what rowling wants because she cannot stand those 'ungrateful brats' as she would likely put it#and as she has last say in anything that gets made in harry potter paraphernalia this might also explain the decrease in faces on products
