      A true slytherin wouldn’t be so painfully obvious about their hatefulness. They’re all about seizing and capitalizing on opportunity. Harder to do when people want nothing to do with you because you’re such a horrible person.

      No it is only men sneakily dressing as women, facing hate and multiple physical risks. All for the slight chance of a very occasional advantage society may possibly give them if they’re extremely lucky. Obviously.

        You’re completely right. There is no such thing as trans men, only women. And after transitioning trans women are measurably happier. This just goes to show that our society is disproportionately supportive of women and hostile to men, which is why misogyny is good actually.

        !the above is satire in case it was unclear!<

    Can no one be found that knew her when she was younger to tell us if she has always been this hate filled?

      There are long video essays where former Potter fans reread the series with today’s knowledge and find antisemitism, fatphobia, ablism, essentialism, slavery apologetics, …

        Essentialism… hmm I thought I kept up reasonably well with knowing about bigotry but this one is new, unless I know it by a different name. Lemme look it up.

        Oh, the basic ideology that makes people think eugenics is good and is a huge basis for a ton of other bigotries.

          Tbf essentialism is a broad term and some queer people use essentialist rhetoric as well (think “born that way”). And while I would disagree (because it doesn’t include all forms of queerness, some people just aren’t born that way, for some it is a choice), I wouldn’t problematize it and wouldn’t call them bigots. Essentialism doesn’t automatically lead to eugenics.

            Yeah, maybe I said it a bit too harshly but that’s more of what I meant by saying basis of. You can take something that has some truth (after all, humans do have some things that would absolutely fit into essentialism) then make it so ubiquitous that you start applying it to things that don’t fit it, like inclination to commit criminal acts etc. The issue is in the degree to which it is applied, not necessarily the belief itself.

          I never liked Potter so I never really looked into it to see enough to find it problematic. I know that there have always been voices who did, like Ursula K. Le Guin

    Why are the profile pics blurred and nothing else? I normally don’t comment on weird little edits but I’m just baffled at this one.

    Most of me is angry at her for all the damage she’s doing, but a small part is honestly sad about what her state of mental health must be.
