Tepid take: no you don’t have to separate the art from the artist. There are thousands of talented artists in the world. Your life won’t be lesser without Harry fucking Potter. Find something else.

@operationpuppet And if we're talking Harry Potter, the art is shit, too. One of the first things we learn on Harry's adventures is that the magic people have a special slur for the non-magic people. JKR doesn't care about fighting racism and classism. She wrote a fantasy about moving up the fucking ladder.

You can't separate the art from the artists. Shit artists make shit art.

@faithisleaping @operationpuppet Yeah, even has a child I was like, "Hold up, why does the book treat the one person who opposes slavery as some weirdo who's out of touch with reality? And the slaves are begging to remain slaves? What the hell?"

And, let me tell you, I was gernally not a very aware child about this sort of thing. But Harry Potter was just so bad about it.
