I mean, I read all the discourse even before she did all the super blatant stuff, especially the underlying antisemitism of the goblins and not-so-great implications of the return to the status quo ending. I feel like I can look at HP as a critical audience. Still, I'll always appreciate what the series was to me, and if I enjoy shit I know would piss her off, GOOD.

Seriously, tho, one of my HP fics has the tag "All Aurors Are Bastards" and I find it kind of delightful in a petty way.

Seriously,

Ah. Middle to upper middle class people with degrees from private liberal arts colleges sticking it to a 0.01 percenter by rallying against fake wizard cops. Fight the power!

Christ almighty. There are people in the US who are protesting against real cops and real injustice right now and your idea of making a point against a rich lady you disagree with is some toothless tag against fake wizard cops. Jesus.

"Tee-hee, Jo Rowling is a big ole meanie. Aurors suck! UwU"

JFC, I guess this was taken way more seriously than I intended. I understand how you could see this as minimizing considering the current situation in the TC, and I'm sorry that I didn't consider that enough when I wrote my first comment, but you literally know nothing about me except that I write fanfic. Trust me, I've been a protester, I've been teargassed, and I don't need your condescending bullshit.

DA - Hey, uh, go fuck yourself? You are talking to a stranger on the internet who you know nothing about, and you choose to hop-skip-flying-fucking-leap to the most obnoxious collection of assumptions you could. Go to hell, and see if you can try and get a grip while you're on your way.

I'm forever creeped out by the inherent antisemitism in "oh, if this fictional race has an obsession with money/trade, they're fantasy Jews and the writer is antisemitic!"

Maybe it's just you.

If your mind automatically ascribes that motovation to Jews and Jews only, and cannot separate that trait to the point where you think all fantasy races are obviously inherently antisemitic, you're the antisemite.

da

Actually, myths about goblins do apparently have antisemitic roots.

The problem is though, that today, almost nobody knows that, including most authors who write about goblins, because they don't make the connection. Someone who experiences a lot of antisemitism might see it, and they'd probably be the one to check out the history of goblins and confirm their suspicions about the myth. But anyone who says JK was doing it on purpose is being ridiculous. Or if they're going to accuse her, they need to accuse every other writer who's written about goblins of antisemitism as well. But no, it's just JK. Because it was never about her actual beliefs. It was about finding a reason to blame someone they already hate. And that's happening again with her transphobia.

"All Aurors are Bastards"..?

They, uh. Are ... against the wizard racists...

Yeah, like how they totally arrested mister malfoy and sent him to gaol for all that wizard hitler supporting /before/ they caught him in uniform, surrounded by fellow supporters, in the ministry of magic-

hard working men and women indeed

but hey, they couldn't have got him sooner. it might have distracted from arresting Hagrid for *checks hand* being mixed race...
