#And there's this scene at the burrow where every girl hates Fleur but the men are hypnotized

There is nothing that annoyed me about JKR than people calling her a feminist. Because even if you decide to ignore her transphobia (which is not feminist), I implore you to read the way women and girls are written in HP, especially Cho Chang and Fleur Delacour. The racism, the xenophobia, the internalized misogyny, the pick-me-girl energy, unmatchable. Those two characters are literally describes as "they're conventionally attractive, so every guy loves them, but not for their personality because they're annoying, and every girl hates them", it's quite pathetic. When she wants the reader to not like a girl/classmate who isn't r*cist, she uses a stereotype used against women. Lavender is a too clingy girlfriend, Fleur is centered on her appearance, Cho likes cringy pink hearts decorations... She can say she's a feminist, but she's not.

#anti jkr #anti jk rowling #jk rowling #wizarding world of harry potter #Emma Watson is a real feminist I think #but not jkr #you need more than being a single working woman to be a feminist #Those characters are written to be as annoying as possible it's unrealistic #And there's this scene at the burrow where every girl hates Fleur but the men are hypnotized #I hate it
