We should all just start pretending like we don't know who jkr is. make it the next goncharov joke or whatever to just suddenly completely stop paying any kind of attention to her & when someone brings her up go "fucking who"

Imagine being told in the early 2000s that upon completion of the Harry Potter franchise, JK Rowling would enter a flop era so extreme that she becomes a real-life supervillain out of pure desperation to stay relevant.

The funniest thing about JK Rowling writing a Polish female character and portraying her as a walking and breathing stereotype of Slavic women is that it's the same woman who:
was already heavily criticized for doing the same thing to other characters in her books, especially to Asian women, and apparently all it taught her is to DOUBLE DOWN on her xenophobic, uneducated and offensive portrayals of female characters
she really thinks she's some kind of feminist icon who protects women (and, to a lesser extent, gay people) from trans people while happily publishing content that reeks of misogyny
You can't make this shit up.

Unpopular opinion: Harry Potter Legacy 🫣
I’m playing the fucking game… but I beg you to put your totally righteous high energy emotional response on pause for a millisecond and exercise some curiosity with me about why.
Every single thing is shit out here. The oceans are rising. The economy is always ready to collapse. Our US debit limit is capping or whatever. I know Trump waiting to throw some mess in the upcoming elections. I’m a black bisexual woman in lower middle class America. I fucking GET that J.K. Rowling is a classless tasteless Uber Villain of epic proportions who CANNOT keep her mouth shut…
But I have been waiting for this game since I was a stupid 13 year old child who thought an owl was going to crash into her bedroom.
HP taught me to love reading. These stories brought me joy in such dark sorrowful moments that children should not have to live through. These books taught me to be patient and to take my time. They gave me community and friendship.
I’ve been doing some inner child healing ❤️‍🩹 especially the wounds that surround 13 year old me. Which is why I’ve started LIVE streaming on Tumblr. This is the first platform that made me feel like I wasn’t totally alone in these HUGE EMOTIONS that were ripping me apart… so I’ve returned to heal and connect with others.
Healing 13 year old me includes playing this stupid fucking game.
SO, I GUESS the unpopular opinion is that this franchise, this fandom, these materials will and do continue to exist but we should let people fucking enjoy what they can because we’re all going to die and there is 0 chance we can ever get enough people to boycott for anything to matter. We’re all little zombie
TikTok is our bible. The word of God IS THE SCROLL for content. The oceans are rising. Let people Fucking enjoy what they can before turning to dust.
If you’re mad about it though … I totally understand.

No minority was harmed with a game bro
I assume you're talking about Hogwarts Legacy, and in extension about the Harry Potter universe.
There are multiple topics to dig into on this one, but I'm gonna keep it short:
The game has Jewish-coded characters (goblins), including many dogwhistles and using shofar as "just a trinket that goblins used to annoy wizards", when shofar holds huge significance to Jewish people. You're basically suppressing a slave uprising as the main story of the game.
The main creator behind the game, the one who wrote the story itself, was a far right neon@zi. Even tho they kicked him off team, they didn't change the story.
The goblins are believed to steal children = blood libel.
You can own slaves (house elves) in the game.
The only trans character is named Sirona (like sir, y'know).
To expand more on why Harry Potter universe is harmful:
Werewolves are coded as gay people with AIDS. Lupin being the only responsible one.
Using Dumbledore being gay as a distraction from when the book sales started dropping because he wasn't this pure nice person.
Again, so much racism, including the names of the characters and stereotypization. And antisemitism.
So much sexism as well. Someone tell me why Tonks didn't stay this bright vibrant character and settled down to more conservative look.
Rowling recently said that she wrote Death Eaters as a symbol for LGBT community "pushing their agenda". The only agenda LGBT people push is wanting basic human rights.
Rowling actively promoting transphobia AND getting money off the game as well, using the money to then harm trans people. She stated that any purchase of anything from her she considers as an agreement with her bigotry.
And yes, I realize this wasn't in good faith, but maybe someone reads it and changes their opinion anyways.

"Matt Walsh is trending because he seems to believe feminism caused one of the biggest genocides in human history.
Might be a great time to remind people how quick JK Rowling was to praise him simply because transphobia was on the menu"

Also! Since we’re bringing Terfling’s shit back into the limelight, let’s not forget the shit surrounding the Fantastic Beasts series that she wrote the screenplay of!
Leta Lestrange was the result of Corvus Lestrange forcefully using the Imperius Curse on her mother, Laurena Kama, and coerced into marrying him as well as being raped to conceive Leta. Again, this was Terfling's idea to literally make one of the only visible black characters in the series the byproduct of a white man's brutality and rape, and how this traumatized the Kama family.
Nagini being the only Asian woman in the series who not only was a literal "snake woman" stereotype, but became the unquestioning pet of a white, wizard fascist.
The Goldsteins' entire existence for clout despite the fact, not once, were the Goldstein sisters ever depicted as Jewish despite her claims that they were/are.
The fact that much of New York they depicted was racially homogeneous and almost devoid of POC minorities despite NYC at the time being anything but.
The fact that Grindelwald is depicted with both Holocaust imagery, Nazi-parallelism, and cast Johnny Depp for the role.
Leta was killed off in order to save the Scamander brothers, both two white men.
Ezra Miller continuing his role as Credence despite being a serial sex offender and abuser. Ditto goes for Depp and his casting despite being caught up in myriad abuse allegations at the time of Fantastic Beasts' filming and releases and how unapologetic JKR was in supporting him.
And this is just scratching the surface. Hogwarts' Legacy is definitely bad, but don't forget Fantastic Beasts and how blatantly horrible this series was, too!

I also don't like how Jk Rowling treats traditionally feminine characters. Examples Lavander Brown, Fleur, the Pavarti twins, Pansy Parkson. With the exception of Luna(who I feel is feminine but mix with weird girl) all her characters feel like either self inserts of herself or Mary Sues. I love Hermione but it's kinda telling that's she's supposed to be a self insert of Jk Rowling.
The internalized misogyny of this woman is astonishing. To her there is only two possible ways how you can be a good female: you either a mother, or you’re “not like other girls”
The way she treats traditionally feminine characteristics is disgusting: she laughs at Pansy’s girly pink cloak in book 4, she despises Fleur for her effortless femininity and the fact that she realizes and uses her feminine qualities to her advantage, Lavander and Parvati are treated as idiots for believing and loving Divination and giggling and being compassionate towards Trelawney… the list goes on
Luna is treated as a “good example of womanhood” only because she’s not like others and we don’t really see any traditionally feminine qualities with her. Hermione is her self insert, and though I love the potential of this character, she’s insufferable in books towards other girls and women. She doesn’t focus on appearance, but of course she “cleans up” nicely and is breathtaking when it’s required. Ginny is popular among guys and girls, it’s written she has girl friends, but we never even given names to them. They’re there simply to show that Ginny’s popular. And we barely see feminine qualities from her, same as Luna. We’re told she’s cool because of her quidditch skills and wit and… that’s it. And Harry things she’s gorgeous.
Actually, the way I see it: Hermione is her self insert, Ginny is who she wished to be and all the other females who don’t fit with her ideals are a threat

There are a huge number of gender-crossing elements in the Harry Potter books!
Honestly, not to beat a dead horse here but it’s utterly WILD that JK Rowling, head British TERF managed to put into her fictional world that she didn’t want to have any trans-ness or gender barrier crossing within elements including:
A gender-neutral school uniform worn by all students
Gender-neutral clothing that is worn by all adults, including males wearing bright, traditionally feminine colours and fabrics like lace, satin, silk, with nobody finding this strange or unusual
The one sport participated in at Hogwarts and the largest sport in wizarding society is co-ed, with male and female players on the same team both at school and professional level, not divided into men’s and women’s leagues
Changing rooms are co-ed, with the implication at multiple points that cis boys and girls change clothes and shower communally in front of each other, with no suggestion that there are cubicles or other such barriers
The large, bearded hero Hagrid has many traditionally feminine accoutrements, likes the colour pink, and refers to themself with she/her pronouns on multiple occasions
The first book includes a pivotal scene where cis boys have to go into the girls’ bathroom in order to rescue a girl and the girl is very thankful that they went in to save her. Teachers witness this and do not punish or admonish the boys for entering the girls’ bathroom.
The second book includes many pivotal scenes where cis boys are in the girls’ bathroom. They are invited in by a girl who is perfectly comfortable with them being there. If they had not entered the girls’ bathroom they would not have been able to participate in multiple major plot points, and a female student would have died because they had not been there to save her.
A potion exists by which people can transform their whole bodies into other people - which can be used to change gender, which is demonstrated on multiple occasions
Certain people exist who can transform their bodies into other forms without the aid of potions
The most famous band in the wizarding world is The Weird Sisters, a group made up of males only who are quite comfortable using a feminine name for their group. Nobody finds it unusual or remark-worthy that none of the Weird Sisters are women.
One male and one female Prefect are chosen from each year group and they have their own special bathroom. This bathroom is co-ed and the bathing facility is one communal tub, with no indication that there are also separate bathing or showering facilities, separating screens or anything for privacy or modesty
Male characters frequently have long flowing hair which is typically associated with female characters in children’s fiction
It is visibly hard to tell the gender of non-human magical beings, which is described on several occasions
Characters who are most stereotypically and self-assuredly masculine or feminine (the Dursleys, Cormac McLaggen, Lavender Brown) are looked down upon and are figures of embarrassment and fun for the heroes of the story.
In isolation any of these elements could be taken as a hint that the author was quite open-minded or did not care so much about traditional views of gender, normality and/or propriety. The fact that Rowling was able to write in all of these elements when she didn’t need to and could quite easily have chosen to not include them, if she firmly wanted to depict a world with strict gender boundaries, is thus either a sign of exceptionally poor writing, blinkers on as to what kind of society she was actually describing as opposed to what she intended to portray, or a suggestion that in actuality the lady doth protest too much - and that much of her latest rants and ramblings about trans people and the threat they pose are more stubbornness at being challenged and/or trying to stay in with her ‘new friends’ rather than views she has consistently held all through her life.
How does it all possibly add up, otherwise?

This post about jkr that I keep seeing is insane. she says that slavery is good and puts conscious extreme antisemitism in her first two published books, not to mention the obvious racism & classics & fatphobia that also comes through instantly lmaooo what are you talking about with 'some biases' and 'sudden change'

Doing an (unofficial) Harry Potter wordsearch puzzle book and on of them is about 'muggle games and puzzles' and has Hungry Hungry hippos on there and now I can't stop thinking about some pure blood students hearing the aggressive CLACKCLACKCLACKCLACKCLACKCLACKCLACK and walking in on a group of muggle-born students playing it and just not knowing that the fuck is happening

Top 5 worst parts of the hp series?
This is pretty hard tbh. Not because it’s sooo good, but because I have many bones to pick with HP.
Aight, let’s get to work:
1. The treatment of House-elves.
I don’t even need to elaborate. It’s just horrible. They’re literally enslaved and abused, and not one character—not even any of the good guys—in the entire series aside from Hermione has a problem with it.
2. Rowling’s “feminist” bias, sexism, and treatment of feminine girls.
Examples:
Hermione attacking Ron and making him bleed because he kissed a girl being seen as okay and having no consequences. Ron getting pissed about Hermione and Krum (for like, one night) is portrayed as horrible and apparently he’s “such a jerk!!1!”
Lavender and Parvati—who are very feminine—being consistently mocked and belittled by Hermione, Fleur being mocked and excluded by Molly, Ginny, and Hermione because she was… pretty??? Literally what reason was there for them to talk shit about her behind her back. [Plus, when Harry (kinda?) defended Fleur and pointed out that she was chosen as a Triwizard champion, Hermione automatically assumes he’s merely lusting after her.]
Rowling’s constant sexism and transphobia when it comes to Snape’s character. This post perfectly sums it up.
Rowling making the main three female characters (Hermione, Ginny, and Luna) “unique” and “not like other girls.” Omg look! Hermione likes to read and isn’t girly!! She’s soo relatable right?? Omg look! Ginny is soooo badass and fiesty!! She plays Quidditch and has older brothers and she bullies Fleur merely because she’s girly. Do you guys like her yet?? Omg look! Luna is soo quirky and believes in weird mystical stuff (as if they didn’t go to a school for wizards), and is bullied and excluded for it. She’s sooo unique, right??
Every female villain (Bellatrix, Rita, Umbridge) in the series being childless. (I can make an entire separate post about this but I’ll just cut it short.)
The girls’ dorm being portrayed as needing a defense against rape but not the boys’ dorm.
[There are wayyyy more examples but I’m afraid I’ll write a million-word essay filled with hatred and a lot of screaming if I continue.😅]
To make things clear: I put the blame solely on Rowling, I don’t blame any of the girls (except maybe Ginny and Hermione), it’s Rowling’s stupid bias I’m pissed off at.
3. Date-rape drugs (love potions) being sold and used without any consequences.
Merope raped Tom Riddle Sr. by using a love potion on him and he was the one painted as the bad guy for “abandoning poor Merope.” She was a rapist and was painted sympathetically to (and even by) the readers.
Gred and Feorge (not a typo) sold love potions and faced no consequences.
4. Abuse never being taken seriously.
The abuse Harry, Snape, and Sirius faced from their families is never actually acknowledged and taken seriously. People’s treatment of House-elves—literal abuse—is never addressed.
5. How the Hogwarts Professors treat their students.
Filch and Umrbridge flat-out torture students, other professors ridicule, bully, and even sometimes endanger the lives of students (*looks at McGonagall and Hagrid*), and face no consequences for it. Like I get that it’s an old-fashioned Wizard school in the 90s but COME ON.
I have many more problems with the series (the stereotypes and the gender roles, the corruption, Dumbledore, no Wizarding therapy, the grooming and separation, the biases and prejudice, etc etc), but these are the ones I’m mentioning and the ones that bring out the most anger in me, especially the first three.
