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.

    Because people don't enjoy harry potter. People identify with it. It is taken to the core of who they are because we fundamentally lack any systemic moral or ethical education in the west. Harry potter is as close to a philosophy as most libs have and it fucking sucks. Quidditch players simply enjoy harry potter and that fine. We don't shit on them.

      The American quidditch leagues are rebranding to remove any association with Harry Potter because most of them also hate Rowling now.
