They are as politically salient as they are diverse and inclusive—beautiful, wonderfully written works.
Unless I am downvoted, I will know all of Chapo.Chat agrees, and defends my honor against the world.
I actually reported this, I am absolutely seething.
If that gets me banned, so be it

My favorite part of Harry Potter is when Harry finds out he's a Wizard and he's leaving his abusive foster family. It's all downhill from there.
I kind of like Harry Potter.
I know they're reactionary trash, and jk is a terf, but like, Woody Allen's Sleeper was pretty funny and the marvel movies are fun to watch. Harvey weinstein produced the lotr movies. Bad people can make things that are entertaining, I guess.
Whats my point again?
They're grand kids books for sure, but it's a bit sad and very obnoxious when people remain obsessed with it into adulthood. You can def look back on the books you enjoyed as a child for the nostalgia, but fucking challenge yourself a bit, don't just remain in a bubble you created when you were 8 years old.
I was at this stage of the argument a few weeks ago, and then I went back to look at some other books I loved as a kid, and guess what:
- There's no transphobia in Darren Shan
- There's no awful Jewish stereotypes in Series of Unfortunate Events
- The Noughts and Crosses series is a little heavy handed but still slaps
Harry Potter is just bad literature. Even taken outside the views of the author it's a poor story with enormous narrative inconsistencies, and the existence of everything else I've just mentioned is proof enough of it being A Fuck.
If I ever have kids they won't be reading it. They will ABSOLUTELY be reading Unfortunate Events though, that thing slaps.
They will ABSOLUTELY be reading Unfortunate Events though, that thing slaps.
abso-fuckin-lutely
ive considered reading it again as an adult at some point
not gonna lie, i couldn't even make it through the first one as a kid. i guess i always had good taste 😎
