But he has to shave when they go back

Calling your lab partner silly nicknames just to annoy him is all fun and games until you refer to him as “hermit crab” in front of the Big Boss…

I will never understand how people will agknowledge just how jk rowling is as a human being, and still like Harry potter. You can't fucking "separate the art from the artist" when the 'art' is filled with antisemitism, racism transphobia and more! You can't even think about doing that when the 'artist' herself is a fucking HOLOCAUST DENIER.
(Also it's even more pathetic considering jk rowling is actually a shit writer. Like let's be honest, everything people love about Harry potter is from the movies. Every bit of personality Harry had was from his actors portrayal of him)
These people don't care that they're clinging onto the mediocre work of a holocaust denier that wishes death to trans people because they're too wrapped up in nostalgia or whatever. It's pathetic and honestly disgusting.
And it speaks volumes how pretty much all the people I see behaving this was are white

it's just like. progressivism is not on a linear scale, you know? star trek could be progressive in its depiction of a racially integrated workplace and still extremely white supremacist. star trek could be progressive in its depiction of women in star fleet, including in command positions, and also regressive in its worldbuilding about orions. doing well in one specific area that they were thinking about doesn't mean they were fundamentally revolutionary in their conception of what the future could/should look like.
star trek had more than one excellent episode about the regressive pointlessness of racism. it also did such a bad job giving uhura things to do that she had to be talked into staying in the role by literal mlk jr. even at the time she knew she was being sidelined. by producers and directors and roddenberries who explicitly told anti-racist stories! and had ham-fisted lines about female crewmembers being crew first and foremost!
and then there's the extremely common example of something being progressive on one little issue and conservative or even regressive on other things, which is hardly limited to star trek, because values are on a broad spectrum, and i can hardly expect someone who agrees non-consensual surgeries on intersex infants are awful to also be a staunch intersectional feminist who won't have any trouble getting my wife's pronouns right.
and as much as roddenberry had some really wildly progressive takes for his time, he was also like. a white man. and the premise of star trek is really, really colonialist and white supremacist, even when the people making it thought they were being anti-racist, because they were so grounded in colonialism and white supremacy that they couldn't see it.
