#because Rowling is a coward

[aftonfamilyvalues]

i firmly believe radfems are hated because they are women. i have seen men specifically go into detail on how much they hate trans people and specifically transwomen and the trans community goes all quiet. they are fucking cowards who know that they cant target men the way they target women

i mean, just look at the amount of hate the "transphobic" celebs get. who gets the most hate? jk rowling. they stalk her profile, she trends every time she tweets anything, her comments are always derailed by tras who hate her, they want to hear her every opinion so they can twist it into something to use against her. someone like, say, dave chappelle? theres some criticism, yes, but no is treating him half as bad as rowling.

Hi, please free to ignore( huge fan of your metas btw)

What are your thoughts on Peter pettigrew? In swm we saw him fanboying over james to being responsible for his death. Just because he was afraid or he never really loved his friends. Many people say James and Sirius treated him shitty thats why he betrayed. Some even say he was just a tag along. Please share your thoughts.

First of all, thank you!

(also, unless they are rude, I don't ignore any questions, it might just take me two years to answer)

Peter Pettigrew

My very controversial opinion on Peter is that I love him (as a character).

To me, Peter is one of those characters who represent how Rowling's clear lack of self-awareness as a person translates in her work into her being unable to recognize her strengths as a writer. The majority of the most interesting things she comes up with are not the ones she focuses on.

And that's the case for Peter Pettigrew, who might be the Marauder with the most interesting story.

It's way too easy to reduce him to a coward as the author seems to want you to believe. And even claiming he didn't love his friends is a flattening of his character.

You can have a tendency to be influenced by peer pressure all you want but you don't become an unregistered animagus to help someone if you don't love the friend you are doing that for and you don't have a bit of courage (especially considering how long the whole thing was and that he wasn't particularly talented). He risked extremely severe consequences on his body due to the possibility of the process going wrong and he risked Azkaban for being unregistered.

That's fundamentally the opposite behavior of the one he later has with the Potters.

I also think it's important to point out how Remus is not a close relative (father, son, brother) and how the help Peter provides is not essential to Remus' survival, it's emotional comfort. The lack of necessity of the animagus matter and the easily cancellable bond with Remus increase the braveness and love of Peter's act (in contrast for example with something like what Narcissa does with her son by lying to Voldemort).

I think Peter's story is the one of someone who lost his courage, not the one of a person who never had it.

Doesn't this also make it so much more delicious how his downfall is caused by the return of a glimpse of honor?

I do agree with the fact that in SWM, James and Sirius don't treat him particularly well, especially Sirius, but I don't think they are that aware of it, especially James. They are a bit crude, and they are arrogant. They are two bright posh 16yo guys in a boarding school in the 70s. I don't expect from them a particularly high level of sensitivity in how they talk to people, especially to someone they take for granted knows to be their friend. Sirius is probably more aware of it, but I believe James to be quite unaware of himself at this point in the timeline. This is before his maturation really kicks in, his whole interaction with Lily shows a lack of self-awareness in how he talks to people (we know Lily turns him into a bit of an idiot, the problem is that he doesn't seem to be aware of it). Sirius on the other hand seems a lot more self-aware than James. A lot of people are not going to like what I'm about to say but: James is canonically a better person than Sirius.

And yet, it is abundantly clear that both James and Sirius love Peter.

James gives into Peter's hands his own life and the ones of his wife and son. Sirius gives in Peter's hands the lives of the family he chose.

In the Shrieking Shack, under all the pain Sirius has for the death of James and Lily, it is evident that there's also the pain that comes from the betrayal of a friend.

"THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE DIED!" roared Black. "DIED RATHER THAN BETRAY YOUR FRIENDS, AS WE WOULD HAVE DONE FOR YOU!" - Chapter 19, Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban

Lily herself is very attached to Peter, in her letter to Sirius, she calls him Wormy (how cute is that?). And, let's remember that she too puts her life and the ones of her husband and son in Peter's hands.

It's too easy to say Peter was just a tagalong, that they didn't love him. It incredibly diminishes the pain of his act.

I also would like to point out that Peter isn't stupid. He was a double agent, he managed to frame Sirius by using in his favor people’s low opinion of his skills (and Remus and Sirius' rocky relationship). James, Sirius, and Remus might have thought of themselves as smarter than Peter but I don't think they actually believed him to be stupid. Considering who the Marauders are, their knowing how good of a liar, and how cunning Peter could be, would be a perfect explanation of why they became friends in the first place.

Does this mean they all loved Peter but Peter only loved Remus out of his friends?

We can't really be sure of his feelings for Sirius, but the admiration he shows for James and the sense of guilt we know he has for his double agent activities don't really align with that image.

I think Peter's fear for his own life ended up winning over the love for his friends.

But why at this point? Why not at Hogwarts?

Something quite interesting is how Peter's father is the only parent of the Marauders who is never mentioned, not in the books, not in any additional material. Doesn't that align just so well with Peter always putting himself at the service of the most important male figure around? First James, and then after school, with the war going on, Voldemort.

Isn't it such a fitting image, Peter growing up without a father, with a too-cuddling mother whom he ends up resenting, faulting her for the absence of the father? It's so natural to paint him as a young man crushed by a sense of inadequacy towards an image of masculinity he idealizes but can't fulfill, supported by a society filled with a very toxic sense of masculinity and an absent father he can sew on any fantasy he wants.

When Peter was at Hogwarts, being friends with James, and being part of the Marauders, gave Peter a sense of security that allowed him to be brave enough to prioritize his love for his friends over himself.

Out in the real world, though, Voldemort is the dominant man and being positioned against the Dark Lord takes away the sense of security he had as a student. Both times Peter goes to Voldemort, he does it because he doesn't feel safe.

It's also abundantly clear how Peter's siding with Voldemort doesn't come from ideology. He becomes an animagus for Remus, he's a dear friend of Lily.

Peter dies because Voldemort doesn't trust him, and he is right in not trusting him. Somewhere in Peter, there's still the boy who risked his life for a friend.

Try to tell me this is not an interesting character.

He's still a coward overall, but a complex one.

Also, Peter Pettigrew is a clear victim of pretty privilege when it comes to the fandom. I'm ready to bet whatever you want that if he had been described as handsome the most popular ship with Sirius would be Sirus/Peter.

Actually, he didn't even have to be described as handsome, he just needed to not be described as ugly. Draco is described as having a pointy face and people have been lying to themselves claiming he's incredibly handsome for the last twenty-five years.

Below is a screenshot of a silly argument.

I wouldn't say delusional... just observant.

So, I'm also a Dramoine fan and have been since I read the books way back when they came out. Now there is a little bit of me that is kinda not interested in Harry Potter because of all the contention with JK Rowling and her... opinions.

But besides all that...

There really is no comparison between the ships on an individual level. I say this because it's kinda like comparing Sephiroth and Vergil (Devil May Cry) from different universes and power scaling in those universes. It just doesn't work. Bad example, but you get what I'm saying.

Dramoine is a great pairing when you get towards the end of the series (Half-Blood Prince and onwards) it works because that is when Draco is battling himself over following Voldemort and his own morals. This is when Narcissa makes a deal with Severus as well. But we get the understanding that Draco does, in fact, have morals. He is just a kid being asked to do something he doesn't really agree with and can't bring himself to do. He is also a coward and a bully. Let's not forget that. I'd also say Classist since he is raised to think that Mudbloods are beneath Pure Bloods. He belittled Hermoine every chance he got, but also found out she could stand up for herself. This is a great enemies to lovers ship... there is no question on that.

Now on to Zuko... who is similar in some ways to Draco, but the similarities are minor. Zuko always had morals, and he always had good in him. He did bad things out of desperation because he was troubled. His frustration is out of trying to prove himself to his narcissistic sociopath of a father and getting the chance to regain everything that Ozai seemingly took from him. Getting to Katara here, it's clear that they were enemies at the start. But how can you do enemies to lovers when enemies to friends IS IN THE SHOW!

So I don't know what to tell you.

By the end of Book 3, Zuko and Katara are friends. It's written in there for everyone to see so I don't really get why going one step towards romance is such a big deal?

The only defining line between romance and friendship is how far you are willing to go with intimacy.

As far as Katara not wanting to marry into the Fire Lord's family... I don't see how that is a factor when you care about the person you marry more than where they came from or their origins. Not all relationships are like that, but it can be that way. But yeah, Katara and Zuko are friends by the end of the show. So, that argument is silly.

It's just another cherry pick with no thought behind it.

#serisously though we get an enemies to friends storyline in the show why not take it a little further #silly arguments #zutara #zuko x katara

unpopular opinions on marauders!

peter and sirius were never equals. it was always james and sirius, then remus, and lastly peter.

peter pettigrew is a lazily written character, and is often overlooked by the fandom. he is basically the reason why the whole harry potter story started yet people minimize his character to a coward. although i understand why he is oversimplified in the books, because they are mainly written for children who don't really get the multifaceted complexions of morally grey characters; i believe that we as the fandom should dive more deeply in his motives.

regulus is interesting cause rowling didn't have the chance to ruin his character.

i hate seeing sirius portrayed as a dumb womanizer, or reduced to his sexuality/romantic relationships only. it takes guts to stand up against your fucked up family and run away from them as a teen. he has so many interesting aspects to his personality and people usually choose to ignore it.

i love james and lily together but still lily is kinda wrong for marrying her literal best friends' bully.

a lot of us would be bullied by the marauders for being nerds.

portraying people as saints is boring. same goes for evil.

this is not a justification, but i understand why wormtail choose to be a traitor. a lot of us would too, for survival mainly.

the most powerful bond in the entire series is the one between sirius and james. then comes lily and severus.

we should have more diverse forms of art about the marauders

slowburn fanfics are the best ones.

more roleplays please!!!

i wish there were more post hogwarts fanfics!!

the youtube series "great wizarding war" is amazing. so is the black sisters movie. and that one about neville and his parents.

james potter was an asshole. doesn't necessarily mean he was evil. he was an asshole and a teenager, i feel like most fanfic portray him poorly.

do we ever see hagrid in marauders fanfiction?

Have you heard that Heavymedic is canon now?

If it's not in a comic, voiceline, or otherwise clearly present in canon material, it's not canon.

Voice actor confirmations don't count. Twitter mentions don't count.

We all mocked JK Rowling for pulling that shit with Dumbledore, don't accept it from tf2.

We deserve better! And Heavymedic does too! Valve needs to get off its ass and stop being cowards!

Aaand now I get to wait for the avalanche of accusations and harassment labeling me a homophobe because I don't accept table scraps as confirmation of anything.

JFC.

If you're comparing Scott Cawthon to JK Rowling, remember that one of them donated (admittedly a lot of) money to fuckhead politicians who are all in the "find out" stage of their schemes and the other one literally wrote a transphobic manifesto, persuaded the government to rewrite laws because of her massive influence, started and funded transphobic and GC groups that shit propaganda, and still spews hateful shit on Twitter, targeting smaller trans users and bullying them into submission like a coward.

Now, I'm still real distrustful of Scott and I hope a piece of his soul physically hurts whenever one of the chucklefucks he supported glitches out or gets arrested for the 7th time. But he's NOT Jowling Kowling Rowling. Not even close.

Rant about Peter Pettigrew and JK's Shit Writing

I hate how he is portrayed because, in my opinion, it just doesn't align with the backstory we have.

Let me preface, I am not a Golden Trio HP fan, but a Marauders fan. So, a lot of my takes and characterisations are heavily fanon-influenced, especially since a lot of the characters I write/read about we know very little of. To add, the characters we do see and interact with in the books are the grown, traumatised versions of themselves. Naturally, as adolescents, before the first war, Azkaban, the death of all their friends, the birth of their children, etcetera, they'd behave differently.

Onto Peter. Peter is one of the biggest cowards and lowlives in the HP universe. He's so heavily devoted to Voldemort despite being pissless-scared of him and doesn't hold a damn candlelight to nearly any of the characters in terms of bravery, strength, or the ability to hide his intentions and cowardice.

On that note, we're supposed to believe he managed to trick two of the smartest students at Hogwarts into changing him to Secret Keeper over Sirius or Remus, who we see as much more competent, brave, and intelligent as well as loyal? Really? That he'd managed to trick so many people into believing that Sirius betrayed them?

It would make more sense, then, to have Peter be a much more secretive, deceptive character. To be written with a backbone. (I read once that someone envisioned Peter to sort of be like Oliver from Saltburn. Mousy, quiet, but incredibly smart, sly, and manipulative.)

This is just one of my many gripes with JK Rowling's writing, though. If not for the nostalgia, or had I read Harry Potter at this age, I doubt I would've liked it as much. The world-building is poor, the characters' ambitions are screwed, and Harry, for some-fucking-reason, chooses to become a Wizard Cop despite all the atrocities he went through. He names his kid after SNAPE?! All because the man loved his mother? And then DUMBLEDORE?! Who is as awful, if not worse, of a villain than Voldemort.

It's a kid series, I understand, but I wish there were more consitencies with the characters.

Edit:

It's been so long since I read the series so I've been corrected. Again, I'm a Mauraders fan so I have a different perspective and analysis of the characters.

It was Sirius who made the decision to switch the Keeper to being Peter. Golden Trio fans see Peter as a character that just never resonated with the Marauders and used them as shields, but I find that narrative hard to believe simply because of where I am in the fandom.

I like how @fanfic-lover-girl explained it in their reblog.

I still don't like how he was written. I do think his appeal is in how weak he is, but I feel like that weakness only falls into cowardice. I think I'm also being hypercritical because I don't like JKR and the plot devices/holes.

Still agree with the sentiment of fuck JKR, though.

Which Hermione are you talking about?

i think when describing Hermione as book-smart, nerdy, introverted, fussy and socially awkward that only breaks SCHOOL rules for Harry’s adventures because she’s his friend, is also very insecure and kinda cute that Ron would love and would LOVE Ron, people are thinking of the Hermione from book 1 and 2. Typical Virgo girl - like very stereotype tumblr horoscope described Virgo. They cant think too far ahead or the big picture, but will perfect any details on their work for their friends and those who need them. They do think by the book, literally. Ron, with his emotional and social intelligence and his jest for life, would help her to be more openminded and relaxed with her perfectionism.

And when people are saying she’s this vindictive, extroverted, ambitious, unapologetic activist, that has a penchant for breaking BIGGER rules as in LAW and ORDER in the wizarding world with sudden social vision and influence, they are talking about the “Rowling” Hermione who existed in book 4 onwards. She’s an Aquarius rising and is NOT a good partner to Ron. Whatever Rowling intended with her, the book 1 and 2 is NOT the second Hermione aka Rowling and would turn out very differently from Rowling herself. And after book 3, it seems Rowling lost touch and connection on who’s really Hermione and who’s herself. That’s why the “breaK” of the 4th wall, of Hermione’s characterization, and the loss of Ron’s. And why it’s so hard to get a picture of her in fandom : whenever you have book quotes as Romonie evidence for Hermione 1, people would have theirs for Hermione 2. Again which is she?  What the hell would Ron/Hermione become? 

Hermione 1 cant be paired with Harry because she’s so…nerdy and closeminded and cant be paired with Malferret because he literally called her Mudblood. But who is us to say anything about Hermione 2, who used Umbridge’s method to punish people, who not only nagged (Virgo) but also can lie and can trick adults into submission with her so-much-bigger-than-Hogwarts-and-Dumbledore “big picture” rule breakings and also solved anyone’s romance problems (Aquarius) ? She would and can fix 100 Draco’s because he lied and tricked people out of Hogwarts scope too, just that he’s so much more coward and incompetent than her. Also Fred/Hermione, the intellectual business man/intellectual business woman ship itself and even Fred died because he’s still a character that has no meta powers. No wonder Snape/Hermione exists. Even he cant break the meta like Hermione 2.  

Compared to Ron/Hermione. Harry/Ginny is much more consistently written throghout the books and same for any other ship, because Rowling remembers that they are characters and not herself and her problems.

_______

To be honest, "Hermione 1″ was also VERY ready to fuck shit up and break the rules when it was convenient for her.

Remember how she set Snape on fire out of fear for Harry’s life? How she brewed Polyjuice Potion so they’d be able to interrogate Malfoy (and Ron himself, very justly, points out that this “a plan where so many things can go wrong”: they didn’t know the password, they almost got caught by Percy, Malfoy could’ve been doing his homework in his room).

But “Hermione 1″ IS extroverted, she’s bossy and nerdy and in-your-face, she knows stuff and isn’t afraid to tell you she knows, she’s not the kind of person that stays passive and lets herself get steamrolled (... unless the person steamrolling her is an authority figure).

The issue is that as Rowling went on, she started to prioritize both Harry and Hermione’s characters over Ron’s. Ron is constantly looked at in a “bit rubbish ain’t he?” fashion, almost patronizingly, a sort of “oh you’re so immature but there there you’ll grow up eventually, if you could hurry up tho that’d be great”.

Ron receives ZERO support from his friends as he goes around trying to figure out how this “growing up” thing works.

Harry and Hermione are meanwhile excused of everything bad they do, because “Harry’s got PTSD and such a difficult life”, and “oh well Hermione is so mature, she’s allowed to be impatient and annoyed with people who can’t keep up with her genius!! Plus they probably did something to deserve it anyway”.

What Hermione really needs is to be humbled. It could happen in many ways, some more cruel than others. Have her make a mistake that for fucking once has consequences on her personal life and fucks all her shit up. Have her need to accept defeat, to understand and internalize that it was no one’s fault but hers that it happened that way. Destroy the notion that “no but actually HERMIONE was the true victim-”.

The sad truth is, a lot of people want to be Hermione - “Hermione 2″. The girl who always turns out to be technically right, who puts the fear of God into those who offend her, who is such a key player in Harry's story, whom a Quidditch superstar would date, who constantly gets told how brilliant and clever she is but can also look so pretty but doesn't because "she's smarter than wanting to be pretty"... who would refuse to be such a girl? Especially if you idealize her so much that you forget she’s not supposed to be nice, approachable, unfailingly kind and all that crap (which is the image of Hermione we got thanks to the fucking movies).

I do enjoy the idea of Hermione being this feral gremlin that loves her friends and would set the world on fire for their sake - but a thing that happens starting from GOF onward is Hermione setting the world on fire more for her own sake than for her friends’. See how it’s only once Rita Skeeter made an article about her, Krum and Harry that Hermione goes truly on the warpath when at first she kinda was like “ugh people are so dumb to believe her”. How Rita Skeeter in OOTP is identified as “one of Hermione’s least favourite people in the world” when it’s Harry who was the most preyed on by Rita. See how Hermione Confunds McLaggen in HBP so Ron can join the Quidditch team (and so Hermione can feel like Ron “owes” her something). And of course see her wiping her parents’ memories and beating Ron up when he’s back...

The problem is that JKR thinks abuse, if done by a woman, is badass.

WIP snip

From an early-stage WIP with the working title "Draco the Ninth" about Harry getting far too interested in necromancy.

Harry Potter looks like shit when he comes to see me in prison. In all fairness, I also look like shit. You’d think I would have grown used to that after two years in Azkaban, or at least resigned to it. You would be wrong.

“Rowle is still at large,” he says without any preamble. “He’s the last Death Eater from Voldemort’s inner circle who hasn’t been brought in yet.”

“How frustrating for you,” I say. “Of course, I wish you the best of luck in apprehending him.”

Potter ignores that. “What we’re missing right now is insight into how Rowle works,” he continues. “That’s where you come in.”

“Me?” I arch an eyebrow. “May I remind you that I was formally cleared of any charges of being a member of the Death Eaters, to say nothing of that inner circle that you mentioned?”

“That’s right, I remember now—too much of a coward to actually commit to it; you’re only here because you created a way into Hogwarts for them.”

I clench my fists under the table, trying to keep my voice light. “That’s right. It’s all on my public record.” He’s not wrong. I am a coward, but more importantly, my father is a coward. The Dark Lord had taken great pleasure in dangling the possibility of inducting me into the Death Eaters over him. It had been both a threat and a reward in equal measure.

“Still,” Potter says, looking satisfied at having rubbed my nose in my misdeeds. “Malfoy Manor was the headquarters. You were around when Rowle was there. You might have insights we can use.”

“So, what? You want a formal interview? I warn you, my social calendar is quite busy these days. You’ll need to coordinate with my secretary.” I smirk at that.

“Not quite,” Potter says. He leans forward. “I don’t want to have to come out here every time we have a new set of questions, or there’s a new theory to run by you. I want to bring you on as a consultant.”

Remember how JK Such Ass Rowling described Regulus uglier than Sirius, just to give this image of ugly = evil, because she is a coward of a woman who probably saw herself in the mirror and supposed she is too pretty to be evil to give herself some peace of mind at being a bigot.

Boycott Hogwarts Legacy

For those who aren't aware, Hogwards Legacy, an upcoming AAA title is being released this Friday, February 10th. Please consider joining your transgender siblings in boycotting its release - while you can separate the art from the artist in many situations, there are times when those artists, like JK Rowling and Kanye West, actively contribute to hate, violence, and anti-transgender legislation and it is simply not possible to separate art from the artist. Supporting Hogwarts Legacy during its release WILL back JK Rowling's beliefs and go directly towards her funding anti-transgender movements harming trans people in the United Kingdom.

Within the last month alone, JK Rowling has tweeted the following to her 14 million followers:

Describing trans women as men with "penises, male pattern baldness, and" r*pists, deserving to be forced into male-only UK prisons 1/30/2023

Stating it's "cruel, degrading," "torture" for cis women to share spaces with trans women 1/29/2023

"Deeply amused by those telling me I've lost their admiration due to the disrespect I show violent, duplicitous r*pists [ie. normal, everyday trans people]. I shall file your lost admiration carefully in the box where I keep my missing f*cks." 1/28/2023

Criticized gender-affirming care and puberty blockers for trans people 1/27/2023

Told a trans broadcaster to prove her woman-ness 1/22/2023

Advocated for hate speech and anti-trans protest 1/22/2023

Called UK politicians cowards for siding with trans people 1/11/2023

Your nostalgia does not justify trans trauma.

"But it looks so good!"

The game may look good because it's a well-polished AAA game, but the story itself has STRONG anti-Semitic themes - as the protagonist, you're tasked with stopping a goblin uprising and goblins of the wizarding world have been well-established as stand-ins for Jewish people. JK Rowling heavily based goblins in Hogwarts on Jewish stereotypes created by Nazis - Rowling has intentionally characterized her goblins as having big noses, working in banks, and known for being greedy. It's not a coincidence. Hogwarts Legacy has you play on the oppressors' side and prevent a literal slave uprising.

Don't buy it.

The people who worked on Hogwarts Legacy have already been paid - your purchase during its initial release isn't saving some starving artist, it funds JKR and makes her and her followers believe her views have value. Simply do not buy the game - don't donate a certain portion to trans charities and /then/ buy Hogwarts Legacy. By buying the game, you justify anti-trans laws and hatred - JK Rowling believes that her wizarding world is so amazing, so well-written that people will always support her no matter how anti-trans and anti-Semitic she is. Prove her wrong.

Don't stream it.

During the boycott, don't create or consume content supporting it. Creators on Twitch are already planning to boycott a mandated advert for Hogwarts Legacy that will play during ALL streams - even during trans and Jewish streams. The better content about Hogwarts Legacy does, the more people will purchase the game during the boycott.

Play alternatives.

There are PLENTY of other magic worlds to lose yourself in that don't fuel anti-trans hate and violence, like:

How would you show someone who's anti JKR cause they clearly don't know what she'd said that she isn't anti-trans at all and show them what she'd actually said(plus her essay)?

Few people from my online friend group are firmly in 'JKR is an evil transphobe that wants trans people dead' camp, I'm not too sure if others are also against her cause they just like me never actually say anything when the those few are trashing her, and tbh I'm a bit of a coward to check in with others.

If I'd just met them all I'd definietly act like I have no idea what she'd said and innocently ask them, but since I've known them for over a decade and whenever they trash talk her I keep quiet I don't know how to bring it up now, y'know? That make sense?

I really want to make them see the truth cause it's getting harder and harder to ignore them, and it doesn't help that few of them are gendies, and one of them calls themself bi-ace so they firmly believe in trans ideology, so yeah I really don't know what to do.

Any advice?

so there's a few things you can do, here are the ones i've had success with:

unattributed quotes - you just put out something she said without referencing her and see if it's still seen as objectionable. i tweeted the "most misogynistic period i've experienced" quote and gotten people who i know have been vocal and vicious about jk to retweet it. you don't need to do a big gotcha reveal afterward but you can at least keep that in your pocket

play a little dumb - something like "wow she really said that? i better see for myself because it's crazy she would just put that out there," basically asking for sources without coming off like a debate me bro. i know you've said it feels kinda too late to try this, but i'm sure no one would hold it against you if you say you want to understand it better. you can say you're having trouble finding the exact quote they're referencing and make them go through the motions of finding it themselves. they'll either fail to find a primary source or they'll warp something she actually said, but at least you've gotten them past shaun videos and pinknews as their only sources (and if they refuse to go for primary sources then at least you've made them admit that)

point out that lying about their opponents only makes them look weaker - usually this one comes up in regards to like "jk rowling supports vladimir putin and matt walsh!!" you can just link to the tweets where she's vocally critical of matt walsh or the fact that she's doing a lot of humanitarian relief stuff in ukraine. again you can take the approach of wanting to see for yourself. if a really common belief among their group is that easy to disprove, why are they so insistent about it? (bonus if you push on the putin thing and all they can give you is "putin namedropped her in an obvious ploy to soften his image" (which is like thirty eight telephone steps away from "she supports him"))

at a certain point you can just point blank ask them why they think she wants trans people dead, they might just double down but at least it'll be clear that it's based on nothing

I'd say the expression of murderous THOUGHTS has been pretty much normalised online, esp on this hellsite. People feel comfortable making incredibly violent statements about showrunners, celebs, politicians, or just their fellow tumblr-users without a second thought and seem to be very much informed by the 'They are the Bad Guys so violence against them doesn't count' philosophy that you'd find in action movies. Though I don't blame action movies for that as much as a mix of pseudonymity and people being able to play it off as j/k. But still, try telling someone in meatspace that you are going to slowly dissolve them (or any other specific person) in acid or whatever, you'd get the cops called on you, 'lol j/k' or not.

If I met Trump or Rowling irl I would absolutely tell them in meatspace I would slowly dissolve them in acid because I’m not a coward. If they wanna call the cops that’s fine I’ll just walk away. It’s not like cops are known for prompt responses to anything. I’d have a good 40 minutes lol. Wanted: stranger of very common physical appearance who told transphobe they would be put in the acid pool for their crimes and also for fun. They’d never catch me.

I do think we should normalize making oppressive bigots feel unsafe actually. I also support nazi punching and that very much happens in the meatspace. Everyone who punches a nazi is a legend. I wish I could give $1 million to every nazi puncher.

I feel like jkr hasn't committed to that one tweet she made about wizards shitting themselves until plumbing was installed. Because if it's canon, then give us that canonical proof. Where's the proof Rowling. It's not real until there's evidence. You can add so much antisemitic lore but you can't add wizard excrement lore. Coward.

One of my characters was born with bells up his ass and I've made it canon. And I'm sticking to it. I've committed. Now it's your turn.

#if what she says is canon then its canon but now youve add it into the serious so go ahead give us harry potter and the prophet of poop #talkies #anti jkr #anti jk rowling #tw harry potter

I have this thougth resently, and I never thinked I would be this oblivius in my life, but considering I need to be told some obvius things some times; well, i'm this oblivius most of the time.

Well, to the point I gess.

I like to think of Draco more like "the bad boy" TM type. But I have reasons for this:

JK Rowling made Draco too pathetic to be taken seriusly. Is not a mystake, I think is something she just did because he is based in the bullyes she had in school.

I'm not taking about how he is a coward, I think that can be good for his character growth. I mean that his growing as a character can be around this; his fears, from what is he running from? I always feel like he was a very bad bully, like he couldn't bring himself to do it seriusly; this can be used as a first introduction to his inner strugling, his starting at Hogwarts more probably is the first time he get to see the people his parents hate so much, to see muggleborns and halfbloods who aren't from a powerfull family or adered to a powerfull family like Severus. It could be interesting to introduce this inner comflict like softly at first, because he is a kid, and then grow more and more with the years because he is changing, he came to think more about things that he thinked were clear as cristal.

I think his cowardice is there for free, is just there yo make him look more pathetic. But the thing that molest me the most is just that is implied that he is weak, phisically weak, and I mean that this is just to make him even more pathetic.

I like to think he is more suited to another position in quidditch, because he could be a oposition to Harry in looks too. Harry could still be small and phisically weak, while Draco is tall and phisically strong; Harry is brave and Draco is a coward, this all aside of how Draco is stronger than Harry, maybe even use this as a posible reason of why Draco is a but slower than Harry, because he is heavier. He could be more suited to be a cheaser, since in the movies he had a good arm throwing that remembrall through the two statues, it could be even better if Draco get the same chance than Harry to play for his house team but as a cheaser position, because one of the chasers is going to graduate that year.

Anyway, I think that could be interesting. But well, we all know JK is a coward so... That's it.

Bye!
