SheepieI’m seeing people talk about a certain wizarding universe again, so it’s time to remind people that “separating the art from the artist” doesn’t apply when the artist has explicitly stated they’ll use any profits from the art to promote hateful anti-trans causes.
Giliell@bastardsheep Also: the Art is shitty. It was ok to fall for it 25 years ago but you really need to grow the fuck up
Andrew@Giliell @bastardsheep Agreed, it’s thinly disguised Oxbridge fanwank. More to the point, it’s an infantile, sub-sub-sub-Dahl fantasy about being whisked away from the aww-so-meeeean poopie-heads who don’t appreciate her, into an exclusive clique of ‘special, chosen people’ just like her, or how she wants to be. Snotty, jingoistic superiority (magic vs. ‘muggle’) as a defence mechanism against a whinging adolescent sense of victimhood. And feck knows what Freud would say about all those magic wands… same as what he’d say about her petty, triumphant cigar-smoking selfie, I imagine. No wonder she is the way she is.
@arx @bastardsheep For me it was more the fun rape drugs and the glorification of tradwives.
