Because you’re taking an authoritarian approach over policing other people’s hobbies and interests, many of who are trans and queer themselves. The franchise is regarded as a “comfort series” for many people who grew up with it, especially kids in abusive households as those demographics tend to gravitate towards fantasy series like Harry Potter and LOTR the most.
Why is having empathy for people different from you such a controversial concept?
Because this “comfort” comes at a cost for other peoples wellbeing.

I dont know if you mean this as
“The majority of the HP and LOTR fanbase is comprised of kids in abusive households using them as a comfort from the abuse”
or
“The majority of kids in abusive households use HP and LOTR as comfort from the abuse”
but either way that’s a huge claim, do you have anything to back that up?
I would be genuinely surprised if there is a person who would not be able to manage their PTSD without LOTR or HP.

Not when you don’t give her money which is what literally everyone is saying constantly and you’re just choosing to ignore so you can try to tell other people what they’re allowed to do

As for this specific instance its not even hard to see how it is harming trans people: talking about hp keeps it in the spotlight which generates more sales.
hp fans and their reading comprehension good god
is it really this difficult to understand that keeping this franchise in the spotlight generates demand which generates sales? So your not literally putting money into the hands of a genocidaire extraordinaire woweee but you’re still creating hype around the product.
Edit: turns out this is the 3rd in this comment chain alone that I’m addressing the point you say I’m ignoring lmfao
