it's really incredible how much Rowling managed to fuck up her legacy and the legacy of her books.
Like, if she'd just been generally supportive of inclusion or even just kept her dang mouth shut, people would probably still love the HP stuff. Collectively, people were ready to give her a pass for the mediocre writing, shitty naming, and even the more problematic content. But she turns out to be a massive TERF and everyone just went "ok, you know what? yeah. let's talk about it. you suck at writing and your books are pretty damn racist."
People still like HP, it is just more quietly, or really insist on death of the author.
I know a lot of people do. but like, it honestly ruined it for me. I was sort of willing to let all the flaws slide "rule of cool" style because it was nostalgic and fun. And now I look at HP stuff and all I see is the massive flaws.
Like, I guess I'm more able/willing to do death of the author if the underlying work is good. But Harry Potter crumbles under close examination. So for me, it needed the support of "good vibes all around", if that makes sense?
It's like Eve 6 music. Eve 6 is pretty based. And the music is pretty good. But it's not nearly good enough for me to like it if the singer were a reactionary.
And like maybe it's a spectrum? Because Kanye honestly made some great stuff. But I just can't anymore. Too much bullshit from him.
