    RTL (German commercial TV channel) is really having a split ethics day tonight.

    for prime time they're broadcasting fucking Harry Potter, the #1 Transphobia Funding Source Movie. Later in the evening they're then broadcasting Matrix, a movie famously made by two trans women which is heavily implied to be about transition. They announced both on the same screen. Are they trying to atone for broadcasting a transphobe's movie by broadcasting a trans person's movie afterwards? Why not just NOT broadcast the transphobe's movie at all, then?

    @LunaDragofelis I don't think it's that at all, I don't think there's a political agenda about transness here, not as in "this is harmless" but as in "they don't give a damn about trans people". They just want views on two extremely popular films. What these films stand for doesn't matter to them because all they care about is money

    @lukyan It's very obvious if one reads the first paragraph of the Wachowski's German Wikipedia page, which in turn is linked from the first paragraph of Matrix's Wikipedia page.

    So it basically depends on whether they do any research about a movie before deciding to broadcast it.

    However, on JKR's German Wikipedia article, the part about the transphobia is at the bottom and doesn't really describe just how vilely she's pursuing that.
