not_IOhad this convo just yesterday 🤦♀️
IheartcheeseI WAS that Harry Potter fan. The overly obsessed nerd who was waaaaaay to into it. But now I’m over it because fuck Rowling.
osannaI don’t even plan to pirate the hp tv show. Fuck Jk Rowling so fucking hard. Fuck the piece of shit. Ugh
I was a huge fan back then and nowadays I’m like " This thread is how I learn, that there’s a new show announced?" - shows how much I care about that franchise today, lol.
socsaThe entire franchise is just so fucking mid, I don’t understand why people worship it so much. The invented language in particular is cringe as fuck and sounds like shit a child would come up with.
sp3ctr4lYeah see this is my whole main problem.
The writing and story are just… ok?
I could identify the racist tropes and body shaming just interwoven into the whole series before I hit puberty.
Oh then of course slavery is good sometimes actually, here I invented a scenario where this is true.
I got bored of Harry Potter, and just reread Animorphs.
Which certainly has problematic characters and moments and events… but … they are bad things, that the characters have to actually deal with, its a much more complex and engaging story overall, imo, though of course the serial format means that some books are not so great in comparison to others.
Kinda the same thing with Redwall.
I’m in the exact same boat. I don’t want her to even get THOSE numbers. Like how HBO bragged about got piracy numbers
