      its more antisemetic dogwhistling than outright antisemitism. anyone unfamiliar with the tropes wouldnt read the.. goblins? gnomes? i forget. as being coded jewish stereotypes.

      i certainly didnt when i was seven

          yeah for sure, in retrospect its definitely got some uhhh problematic depictions.

          but most kids books do tbh, because they reduce things into simplistic terms rather than presenting complex analysis. soo... meh.

            Idk that it's so much about reduction as reflecting the author's biases and culture, unconscious or otherwise
