another reminder to stop buying/watching/reading anything JK Rowling associated
I cannot stress enough she is a primary funder of transphobia. She is not just someone with bigoted views you can seperate from her work, her work funds the bigotry.

âI guess each of us, at some time, finds one person with whom we are compelled toward absolute honesty, one person whose good opinion of us becomes a substitute for the broader opinion of the world.â
â Glen Cook
I'm pretty sure there's a direct relationship between how likely a piece of media is to develop a scarily dedicated fandom and how readily you can sarcastically refer to "Tweedledum and Tweedledee over here" and have it be obvious which pair of characters you're talking about.
in almost every other children's book where the main heroine is swept away to a land of whimsy she's shown having a lovely time; braving dangers occasionally, trying to find her way home, sure, but ultimately delighting in the magic around her. meanwhile alice spends her entire time in wonderland like

Rachel Zeglar: Iâm gonna be the first Snow White who is not going to be a damsel in distress dreaming about true love and instead sheâll learn to become a fighter and a great leader for her kingdom! No oneâs ever done an independent Snow White before!
Me:
will simply never be immune to women with glowy eyes
also the way that the nimona movie showed that hate is a taught behavior?? the way that gloreth, the hero worshipped for slaying monsters, was fully accepting of nimona until her mother told her what to believe? until that generational bigotry was passed down? the way the directorâs motive wasnât even power like most evil government figureheads in media, but rather a fear of monsters destroying the kingdom because that hate had been instilled in her too, like it had in gloreth? the way ballister was also indoctrinated into hatred of âmonstersâ until he was just as outcast as one? because only then was he willing to change and learn?? and how even people with good hearts and good intentions like ballister and ambriosius and even the queen herself are still capable of perpetuating bigotry and unnecessary violence when they donât take the time to understand or learn about the âothersâ they supposedly hate????????? i need to lie down
Guys, is it pro cop if the whole movie is a metaphor on the police state and why its bad and how it's all based on propaganda and lies and how overreactions on the part of the cops, in the name of "security", causes real damage? Is it pro cop to have the protagonists realize that they have been brainwashed with copaganda for years and their key character growth consists of unlearning and rejecting that propaganda? Please tell me I am not trippin'

AARON TAYLOR-JOHNSON as TANGERINE BULLET TRAIN (2022) dir. David Leitch
Annihilation completely masters being disgustingly beauitful. Like Midsommar is a beauitful horror movie, intentionally idealic. But Annihilation is beauitful in the way that the poisonous mold growing in your fridge is beauitful, or how a gas fire in beauitful.
Like, Annihilation cannot just give you a Snow White deer mutated with antlers that are branches full of blossoms. There needs to be two of these deer that move in parrallel, but one is rotting
Annihilation canât just give you a wall of fungus, or a corpse. It has to give you murals of prismatic, colorful fungi sprouting out of a corpse so violently it snapped him in half
When I was a kid, I regularly lost reading privileges for "having an attitude" and "acting out".
It wasn't as simple as being told not to read during other activities- one of the first times it happened, I remember being six years old, watching my stepfather pull fistfuls of books off my bookshelf and throw them to the floor in a heaping mess while I cried and asked him to stop.
It was weird. Every other adult I knew described me as exceptionally well-behaved, but at home, it was the opposite, and it was blamed on "learning bad habits from that shit you're reading".
Because I couldn't read at home, I spent all my free time at school in the library, reading with my friends.
When I grew up and moved away, I realized that my family life was toxic and abusive, and the "attitudes" I was being punished for were standing up for myself, standing up for my younger siblings, and resisting actual, real-life psychological abuse. Because I'd learned from what I'd read that my family wasn't normal, not like my parents said it was, and in my stories, the heroes were the people who spoke out when it was hard to.
It is insane to me that there are students right now who can't access books. It is insane that books are being outlawed. It is perverse that we are stealing away an entire generation's ability to contextualize their lives, to learn about the world around them, to develop critical thinking skills and express themselves and feel connected to the world or escape from it, whatever and whenever and however they need.
That is not how you raise a compassionate, thoughtful, powerful society.
That's how you process cattle.
It's fucking disgusting.
It's patriarchal fascism. If children don't have a frame of reference for "normal" beyond what the Authority chooses to give them, they won't object when the Authority does something abnormal (or fascist)
