I really want to believe that the person that made this believes this and it isn’t some ironic meme I think that would make my year
I like how in both eras of Star Wars depicted here, the Jedi allow a fascist Sith-led coup to emerge.
Honestly it has been ages since I last consumed any Harry Potter media, but were Slytherin actually explicitly supposed to be the bad guys? I mean, I definitely remember that Slytherin was the house that all the "bad people" seemed to be sorted into, and that right down to the branding Slytherin is pretty obviously supposed to give off an "icky" vibe what with the snakes... But it's still just a fucking school house. The students at Hogwarts are (presumably) divided equally between the four, which makes presenting Gryffindor as "democracy" and Slytherin as "dictatorship" about as meaningful to me as saying that democracy is a Taurus and tyranny is a Scorpio, unless Hogwarts has a diversity quota of an exactly 1/4th ontologically evil student body, and I sure as Hell don't remember that part.
Luna Nova is the superior magic school anyways. I wish nothing on Hogwarts except for it to be forgotten for ten thousand years, only for some future archaeologist to discover the last surviving complete set of Harry Potter books in immaculate condition, and after deciphering the text simply laughing to death at the sheer incompetence of Joshi Koukousei Rowling's writing.
Slytherin might as well be lead by Cobra Commander they're so cartoonishly evil. Every bully, every cheater, every Hitler Youth member is a Slytherin and all of the bad guys are former Slytherins.
I think there's a token good student and token good teacher, but they only got introduced in the last book or two.
You might be thinking of slughorn, but hes still blood racist. The idea that there are some decent Slytherin comes from Joanne on a podcast.
Yeah, that's definitely the teacher, I remember him having a creepy Epstein club as well - the "token good" more means "not pro-voldemort" more than anything.
It's normal at British boarding schools to have a bunch of transparently evil people actually
but were Slytherin actually explicitly supposed to be the bad guys
Until very recently (ie an offhand mention of a character in one of the last books and that godawful stage play), yes
Every last evil person was a Slytherin. There wasn't a single one that wasn't a bigot and a bully, and every villain character was a Slytherin. It was basically Fascism House
Yeah, Slytherin is just the house for all the evil racist people. A mildly smarter story would turn it into a commentary about traditions that are built on racist foundations, and have the victorious good guys eventually close it down. But the author is okay with it existing, because she's got fucked up Calvinist ideas about morality where you can just put an 11 year old in the nazi club because they were born evil. The wider Harry Potter media machine realized that people love the personality quiz aspect, so they play down the evil and focus on a throwaway line about Slytherin being the house of ambition. The fandom treats it as the house for cool misunderstood goth kids.
I spent two seconds staring at it and now i have a headache
