prevnextI don't think your fans expressing frustration about the inclusion of a domestic abuser in and the specific exclusion of the sexual orientation of a beloved queer character from the latest installment of your franchise qualifies as "abuse." https://t.co/OIbZ477rRu

prevnext#FantasticBeasts had time to shove in two unnecessary heterosexual romances, but the #CrimesofGrindelwald can't make the most important romantic relationship of Dumbledore's young life explicitly canonical? That is some bullshit right there.

prevnextThis is the same woman who waited 3 months after the release of the FINAL book to reveal Dumbledore's sexuality. There was no way Rowling was going to address it in her new #FantasticBeasts screenplay. https://t.co/hOgIAMsAXz

prevnext"not explicitly" which seems like a weird choice in a movie literally titled "the crimes of Grindlewald," focused on Dumbledore chasing down a man Rowling has said was his great love, but I guess David Yates thinks ~fans already know~ so why put it in the story? https://t.co/jk0w7qI2hB
