“JKR didn’t start out like this she was radicalized!”

She, like most fascists, started out with antisemitism. It’s obvious in the HP series. It’s obvious in the Goblins. It’s obvious in how she treated the Deathly Hollows symbol (specifically with Mr. Lovegood’s casual wearing of the symbol, despite it being a symbol for a genocide)

Despite the diversity that is within the UK, most of the students at Hogwarts are implied white, British, and Christian. The exceptions being the Patel twins and Cho Chang. 2 of which were the last ditch dates for our Love Struck Heros and were treated horribly, 1 of whom has two different last names and is generally treated horribly by the narrative. Our resident Irish family has “too many kids” and is poor with little social mobility. Welsh students? Where? Scots? 1 Scottish professor in a Scottish school. Black? Only in the movies, and even then subject to change if they happen to become a main character’s love interest (See: Lavender Brown). Oh and don’t forget the House slaves Elves!

Queer characters? Word of G-d we have one gay character and a horrid metaphor for the AIDs epidemic.

My point? Despite the fact that her books managed to radicalize a good portion of her audience, that was a happy accident. We were a happy accident who took the class metaphor she wanted us to see and RAN with it into social justice to fight for anyone who was being oppressed. Because We made the connections for ourselves.

JKR was never progressive. She was a bigoted Centrist at best.

She might not have started out radicalized but she was sure as hell an easy target. Because she was already bigoted in other ways. Being openly transphobic is just one of the more acceptable ways to be a bigot amongst “feminists” in Britain.

just remember that the most prolific and famed writers, artists, musicians, etc all died with folders full of drafts, sketchbooks full of unfinished concepts, notebooks of lyrics and tunes that never made it into a song. leaving behind unfinished work is just part and parcel of being a creator. for every finished project there are dozens of ideas and WIPs that never reach final form. and that’s fine. because unfinished works still serve a purpose—they allow us to engage in a craft we love, and to practice and refine our skill.

and the fun part? they can be passed down to other creators, as inspiration or material to build on. how lovely to be a creator, in a world where creation is not a wasteful act.

look, from a simple ‘i understand narrative storytelling’, it was crystal clear that the force awakens was setting up a trilogy with a finnrey endgame, rey training with the jedi, and finn discovering he is force sensitive (and training too). they were written as co-protagonists, with both of them wielding luke bloody skywalker’s lightsaber to fight with.

finn went from being not the ‘second most important character’ but the joint first most important character in that trilogy to being cast aside completely in film two. the finnrey seeds which had absolutely been sown, the finn being force sensitive seeds that had also been sown, rey and finn both having reasons to take on kylo ren were all abandoned. the narrative storytelling that the force awakens set up was put aside in the last jedi to start a mess of a ‘redemption arc’ for the white dude.

john boyega isn’t just right in saying finn was pushed aside, he’s right in saying that disney entirely fucked him over. they removed all nuance from finn and gave it to the crusty white kylo ren - which is even more insane when you remember finn has arguably the most interesting back story in the entire trilogy. stolen by the first order as a baby, brainwashed and trained into being a stormtrooper, fights for his own decisions and conscience because he’s a good person, leaves the stormtroopers, joins the resistance, and is force bloody sensitive. how on earth do you look at all that back story in the force awakens and go ‘nah, that character isn’t interesting’. PARDON ME?!?!

it makes me so sad that this role which should have been a dream turned into a nightmare for john. it makes me so sad knowing all the kids who finally saw themselves represented in the star wars universe with finn, who deserved so so much better. and it makes me so sad that this deeply nuanced, kind hearted character of finn was thrown aside like garbage for a ‘white redemption arc’ that frankly didn’t make sense and nobody wanted. john boyega deserved fucking better. he’s right to say what he’s saying. and anyone who thinks he’s talking bullshit, unplug your head from you ass and don’t even get me started on the racial discrimination in marketing such as diminishing the size of his character in posters for china. disney fucked him over and in doing so fucked up what could and should have been such a good trilogy. and it makes me so sad and so fucking angry.

Okay, but listen. In Winter Soldier you have Natasha trying to set Steve up, you have Sam asking what makes him happy, you have Steve telling Peggy he just wants to know who he’s fighting, and Sitwell telling us they used the past to determine someone’s future.

These are questions and ideas the narrative sets up to be answered and they’re answered by bucky’s re-appearance in steve’s life.

it makes me sad seeing bi girls on here coming to terms with the fact that theyre bi and then being like “i‘m not saying i have a voice in the lgbt community because i’ve only dated men, i know my opinions don’t matter because of that i know i’m not really part of the community” it makes my heart hurt. if you’re a bi woman and you’ve only ever dated men, you’re still part of the lgB!!!!!!!t community like that’s what the B stands for!!
