Just a heads up for anyone of my friends that make music, you might want to opt out of using Spitfire Audio for anything because one of the cofounders, Christian Henson is a TERF.

Screenshot of a tweet that reads:

As a parent I can no longer keep my mouth shut about this. I’m in full support of glinner & jk_rowling
. Please look into this. If you have young children it’s in the post if you have autistic children it’s probably already on your doormat.

Whenever people think that Harry Potter is an innocent franchise to consume, situations like this serve as a reminder about who ultimately benefits from it. Stop platforming TERFs because there isn't a single day that goes by where someone isn't citing them for bigotry.

The company addressed the tweet. Hopefully that break from the company is permanent and not something where he just comes back after the heat dies down. The internet NEVER Forgets and we will remain vigilant.

It’s so disappointing. Spent so much money with them and if Christian doesn’t follow up on this and listen to the people in his comments sharing resources and educate himself, not a single cent more am I giving them. Hope the others working there speak out against this BS.

Recommend alternative libraries? I really like Spitfires stuff but this is a death-knell for me.

Idek who he is so I think I'm solid on avoiding him

while I agree with blacklisting him, there are so many good people at spitfire and who put so much time and love into the products, blacklisting the company itself could be detrimental to their livelihood. im personally going to avoid any plugins that christian has contributed to
