Anytime anything popular gets dragged here there’s always a few “let people enjoy things” and “don’t ruin peoples fun” and “don’t be a weird cynical hipster” and what have you.
Except for the most popular series of children books in history. For whatever reason that’s apparently weapons free for Hater Team 6 to go to town on. I’ve seen people say was shouldn’t ruin peoples “favorite toy” when it comes to sports, Twilight, Marvel Movies and astrology, but what makes those sacrosanct and Harry Potter fair game?
This applies somewhat to Hamilton too.
Yeah, there might be a distinction between people who liked Harry Potter as a child (nearly every kid 20 years ago) and adults who continue to bring up the franchise as something they're still engaged with. Liberals are certainly the only ones who frame their political ideology in terms of what Hogwarts house they belong to.
