I'm with you on this. Curious about the Harry Potter Fountain Pen controversy but not inspired to go digging into reddit to find it.
The sub reddit, r/fountainpens, was always a calm space. Yes. If a company proclaimed bigotry of any kind it would be dragged out. But people's personal preferences on what they liked to use was never a source of heated debate. Makes me wonder if it's a J.K. Rowling controversy.
