Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
Due to how capitalism works, every purchase you make helps fund oppression. That's how the system was designed: to ensure those in power who wish to oppress will ensure wealth is funnelled into their pockets through their convoluted system of ownership.
If it isn't Harry Potter media that tangentially funds Rowling through royalties it is something else that funds another bigoted owner somewhere along the supply chain of the rest of the items you purchase in your life.
You really give a shit about this? Then direct your criticisms at the convoluted system that forces people to give up the things they enjoy because some bigot holds a piece of paper that says they own an idea.
This production has nothing to do with JK except for the fact she has a piece of paper that entitles her to reimbursement. That's the problem, not the people simply trying to make a living or people indulging in media that they enjoy.
You can't opt out of capitalism. You can opt out of not funding Rowling
Congratulations on missing the point
yeah yeah we all live in a society, you're extra deep, we know the schtick. Not what we're here for
We're doing what we can, and that's a whole lot more valuable than sitting around and talking about what we should do when we can't at the moment.
Please, tell us your plan to dismantle capitalism that requires us to blindly consume Harry Potter media.
Just because there's an underlying issue doesn't mean that it's pragmatic to hyperfocus on it and ignore the more immediate issues. If I have cancer, I'm not gonna stop eating fruit because I really need to focus on fighting the cancer and my other health-conscious activities need to be put on hold. That's not how responding to problems works.
if they missed your point you should feel the urge to be more clear. Not act holier than thou
Then help them understand your point of you feel they missed it.
Sorry but I really don't follow. Are you saying we shouldn't boycot and socially cancel products created by bigots?
There's so much entertainment and its honestly kinda sad that people would sacrifice their moral and justice stance for sake of "comfort consumption". Ew.
Yes that's their point. "no ethical consumption under capitalism" There are no degrees of evil or complicity, shut up and let me continue to not think about what I'm paying for when I buy nestle chocolate. You can't be perfect so trying to cause less harm is just a distraction.
Eh disagree with this weakling mindset. It is our duty to be responsible and caring citizens even in systems you disagree with.
