@mhoye Harry Potter and the reality that indeed I was that age when it came out and it was a large part of my childhood and I am still working to excise references to it from my vernacular but I am determined to do so and to not support the piece of shit who wrote the books with one single more cent

@mhoye Also loudly proclaiming your boycott and congratulating directors feels a lot more like self-aggrandizing behavior than like they actually give a shit. There's a LOT of white knight-ism going around.

@mhoye not to mention, in all honesty, even if the books and author weren’t horribly problematic, they’re just *not very good*. if you’ve only read harry potter, go pick up another fantasy series. you will be BLOWN AWAY

@GroupNebula563 inoculating your kids with C. J. Cherryh or Jo Walton seems like a healthy preventative measure.

@mhoye I was around 12 when it came out and had immediately decided it was too childish for my taste. Then out of principle, I neither read nor watched nor played anything from that franchise.
I obviously didn't have the sociological literacy required for an analysis back then but since JKR came out as bigot I feel strangely vindicated.

The full 11 volume Sandman collection is getting cut this round (I didn’t know he was a rapist last round).

@GroupNebula563 @mhoye I mean the Sorting Hat was sort of a clue to the odious opinions she would later espouse: "You are who we say you are and your role is ordained."
Directly contrary to that, Terry Pratchett wrote in A Hat Full of Sky: "The only hat worth wearing was the one you made for yourself, not one you bought, not one you were given."

Innoculating then against fascism and other forms of stupidity might be more beneficial

It's a cult.

That fits with British/American differences I have seen, although the difference between Dock Green and The Sweeney might be enough.

@mhoye It does make for adequate fanfic fodder. Much of which does poke at all of that (and frequently use it to poke at some particularly fucked up British nonsense).
This also means there is no reason to ever spend money on it (let's be honest, you only read the books via your library and watched the movies off limewire anyway; no one has money to spend on that). -

@GroupNebula563@mastodon.social @mhoye@cosocial.ca Ascendance of a Bookworm is a wonderful Japanese isekai/fantasy series, and it is like 1,000x's better than Harry Potter ever cold hope to be.
