one time a long time ago i was told that me disliking the protagonist of a book because he was an asshole was stupid because it was supposed to be that way. like he was supposed to be unlikable and that's why he treated everyone around him like that.

Dude the protagonist was harry potter. terf rowling did Not make him an unlikable protagonist... people will say anything to avoid facing the fact that those books were poorly written to begin with

oh yeah if a character is clearly intended to be a likeable sympathetic everyman and in practice they are insufferable and detestable that’s typically just bad writing

I just found out that the charity that Rowling "Donated" to (the one that people praised her donating so much money to because she was previously a billionaire & then after donating made her a millionaire) was actually a charity SHE was the founder of and owned, and this gave her a huge tax write off because it is a charity

sorry to put harry potter discourse on your dash in the year 2025 but snape is just definitionally not a Nice Guy/incel archetype because he does not resent lily for not reciprocating his affections. this isn't up for debate this isn't an alternate interpretation you are simply wrong. Nice Guys despise women they are attracted to for not reciprocating and Snape doesn't fulfill that.

Yes, he hates James, but 1. hating the boyfriend/husband of the girl you love is not sufficient to qualify, you have to hate the girl and Snape doesn't, and 2. Snape's hatred of James predates the latter's relationship with Lily and goes way deeper than just romantic rivalry.

But acknowledging that would require the david bowie fanfic stans to acknowledge that sweet angel innocent feminist golden retriever boyfriend james potter was a fucking sociopath in canon, so obviously that was never going to come into play.

Who was your first muse?

oh yikes this was a while back now ( like 15 years a while back ). my first muse was hermione granger, wayyyyy back when when you used the GIANT fucking gifs all saved to your laptop in folders labelled like smile1, smile2 etc and a bunch were just from interviews with the actors, and everyone wrote like this: *smiles* did you need something?

i really wish the main focus of the hp game conversation would pivot away from being about transphobia. not that it isn't important, it is transphobic as it is funding a transphobe, but when that's the only thing that's brought up it means people are gonna defend themselves by bringing up the trans character or saying "ill just pirate it then" (as if it's not still giving it a platform...)

it's so worrying to me how little people bring up the game's content when talking about why no one should play it. the antisemitism is always such an afterthought in so many discussions i've seen. but the game's plot is founded on it! a primary developer who had tremendous influence on the game is openly alt-right!

i want people to be more consistently called out on why they even want to play a thoroughly antisemitic game. because even in a situation where you pirate it, play it in utter secrecy, and never speak of it to anyone, therefore "not funding or platforming transphobia," you're still playing a game that is blatantly antisemitic. and why is that okay with you? why does that seem like a fun time? why would you ever want to touch a game like that with a ten foot pole?

tiktok kids “gen z is the future!!” like shut the fuck up shut the fuck up. depp v heard trail tiktokification. “gen z republican” movement. the fucking nazi tattoo. capitalist commercialisation of subcultures rooted in anticapitalism. the fucking lgbtq flag discourse while rights are being stripped. fandom being so hostile to poc. you’re not a revolutionary you’re a harry potter liberal

Here's the thing about the hp game: you could just quietly buy it or pirate it and no one else would need to know that you're prioritizing your nostalgia over the lives of trans and Jewish people.

If you're publicly self-flagellating about that decision on social media? You're just being dishonest and looking for moral clemency. You KNOW what you're doing is fucked up, and instead of just shutting up about it (or, even better, NOT DOING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE), you've turned it into a public performance. And you are not owed absolution.
