Re: I don't understand the argument against the Weasleys

While it's rarely brought up outright, a lot of the arguments I've heard against the Weasely's over the years have some really classist undertones to them. They seem to come pervaded with this whole "because they are poor, they should be acting like THIS" attitude, and hell even a secret on here a while back criticized them for using prize money to go visit their son in another country and enjoy a vacation rather than pay for essentials that they could afford, even if they sometimes struggled for it.

No one enjoys being poor*, but the family was one that happened to value a lot of things way more than they wanted to be rich. Isn't "morals over money" an ideal that our culture is supposed to value? -_-

It's one of the capitalist fairy tales that we tell ourselves at night so we can sleep. Every culture has its bullshit to maintain a certain status quo and the West is no exception.

That's just it, though - if that's the fairytale value we're chasing after, then why are people so pissed that the prominent family of a children's book series are actually demonstrating those values?
