I mentioned this elsewhere, but if you see a post of mine that I have locked and are interested in reblogging it, just let me know and I will more likely than not allow it and unlock it, though I get the final say bc I may have specific reasons for not wanting a post to spread around!

Most of the time, I lock posts bc they’re not polished and it will drive me insane if I find a typo or poorly constructed sentence later and it’s too late to fix it bc the post is already out there, but if you ask, I can check it over and make any edits before it goes out lol

ADDED: Editing to add tags for certain topics now that I’m trying to tag shit lol, but I will polish this later lol

I know I have a lot of new followers, but one day, I will have to share the horrible HP fandom story I have from undergrad where a girl in my dormitory building had pedophilic Harry/Snape chibi anime fanart on her door - ON THE SIDE FACING THE HALLWAY FOR EVERYONE TO SEE.

Anyway, yeah, burn down this wretched fandom lol

In the fun and whimsical HP wizarding world (/s), a teacher who is a former Nazi and still has his swastika tattoos trying to kill one of his students’ pets is just a wacky wizard way to teach a child chemistry, and the real evil is him taking some spirit day points from another student who was helping to prevent the pet murder, not the actual attempted pet murder to terrorize a child; no one expresses any outrage at a teacher abusing a child like this, not even the kindly progressive headmaster, and the average HP fan sees this and still wants to go to that school as a student and fuck the Nazi child abuser teacher.

Sometimes, I really do feel like tumblr, for all of its faults and its own transmisogyny problems, is one of the few places where hating JKR and HP is actually a popular sentiment and not a fringe opinion.

Case in point earlier, I just witnessed a group of young people in their twenties that included WOC and what I would guess is a visibly queer GNC white man express disappointment that the Gryffindor doughnuts were sold out at one Tim Horton’s location tonight - and that’s not even getting into the many very diverse people I saw expressing excitement at seeing HP stuff on the windows; even older middle-aged adults at an art gallery I went to earlier in the week were praising the HP doughnut boxes - I’m afraid to say that being against HP is very much a minority opinion, even among people who are otherwise progressive, and it sucks.

Anyway, last thing I will say for now, but even back when I was an HP superfan, albeit a very critical one, as a teenager and young adult when the books were still coming out, I don’t think I ever actually fantasized about going to H*gwarts bc the school objectively fucking sucks - like, there is a grand total of three competent teachers, and the others are the worst teachers on the planet or child abusing former Nazis killing their students’ pets, and this is for what is allegedly one of the top schools in the world in that universe; and, you know, the slavery, even under ‘progressive’ leadership.

The way the racist chocolate guy’s fans are behaving just like HP fans who can’t let go of HP lol - no, I don’t think people should waste their time writing educational letters to him or that unfollowing him on IG is some kind of bullying hate campaign; just fucking let this guy go, you cannot be this parasocial that you have to continue being his ride or die fan, but are desperate to make it morally justified - some of you are apparently putting more effort into this than actual politics on the ground.

I think it’s genuinely stupid to see grown adults in their forties still building their entire identity around those stupid H*gwarts houses - you are a middle-aged adult, why are you so obsessed with fake houses for a fake high school when you haven’t been in high school for decades now; people who went to schools with houses are not this fucking obsessed with their real houses, and you are behaving like this over fictional shit and still crying about not getting your H*gwarts letter as an American.

Unfortunately, I have to report that the stupid HP collaboration at Tim Horton’s here is very popular, and you can’t blame it on white cishet millennials bc people across all demographics are excited about it - anyway, I don’t want to hear about how ‘Canada’ and specifically Toronto are progressive and LGBT+ utopias ever again.

People are on here defending that chocolate guy with their life using arguments like how you can’t expect him to know that JKR sucks when he’s French bc I guess France has no pop culture or internet access now, that it’s okay for him to make a slave race chocolate sculpture if he was paid to do it by a sponsor bc that means he’s just doing it for money instead of being a true believer transmisogynist, that you are giving in to ‘the terrorists’ if you cancel anything HP we need fun in life and everything fun in life is HP, you are committing lookism of you think he looks like a creep, that it’s mean to assume he’s a transphobe and you should e-mail him to ask about his true motivations, and E-MAIL YOUR REPS THE CHOCOLATE GUY to patiently educate him on how transphobia is wrong and why he should not do another HP thing bc YOU CAN BE THE CHANGE - all this for a racist French man making a fictional slave creature chocolate sculpture for a shitty franchise headed by a fascist billionaire.
