P.P.S.

Blame the editors and the publishers instead of the writer.

As far as Nagini.... I don't get the whole "racist" thing. But whatever raises your back in a hissy fit, I guess. Whatever makes you throw a tantrum worse than a tired 2 year old who was told 'no'.

As far as all the characters, well, she did cast only from the UK, don't like that there weren't enough poc's? Maybe you should get more to become child actors.

Also, She's the one who wrote the books, the books actually don't state who is and who isn't a poc.

Furthermore, the name Chang is as common in China as many others. Just because you can find it in another dialect doesn't really mean nearly as much as you think it does.

Also, the Patil twins WERE just side characters. Barely even mentioned in the books as well. Welcome to side characters 101: side characters are just that, useful and then put aside to continue the actual story.

If you have a problem with an author you might want to take a step back and reassess whether the author is getting censored or not by editors and publishers.

Which was precisely what happened as far as Dumbledore being gay. Among other things. She was told to change it or they wouldn't print it. Plain and simple and yes, you can look it up on Google too! Imagine that.

And with your whole ranting, in order to make yourself, I don't know, plausible.. believable... You might want to prove yourself. Right now, you look like a ranting SJW idiot from here.

You are aware that (I am guessing you are referencing the Patronus charm since that is literally the only thing similar to what you are trying to claim.) Native American Shamanism (which is taught to and practiced by many people, not just those who can trace their heritage back) is not the only religion who have animal guides/protectors? Obviously not. Also, it being a religion, cultural appropriation does not actually apply. Same difference as Chrisitanity and Christian religious beliefs in fiction. Sorry to burst your little bubble. Werewolves didn't originate in Native American lore, nor did really anything else. I would love to see where you are trying to pull all that cultural appropriation bullshit from. Do your own research before you pull bullshit like that.

House-elves as stand-ins for slaves. Do I really need to pull every fictional book off the shelves of libraries to show you where slaves are in them? Grow up. It is fiction, no real people were harmed in the writing of the fiction. Writing fiction about it doesn't mean you support it, or else she also supports mass murder, get a grip.

I unknowingly followed Antis before I realized my mistake, so make of that what you will. Not every terf is visibly a terf. She might have thought they were talking about the men who have been falsely claiming to be transfemale in order to go into female restrooms, this has happened far too often than I would like.

Again back to Dumbledore being gay and supposedly in love with Grindelwald. Here's the thing about Gay, Trans, Lesbian and books/movies.... Censorship. It took till this year to finally get a legit canon gay cartoon character (Shiro from Voltron Legendary Defender) and the show runners had to fight for that tooth and nail, every step of the way.

There was also the gay character in the live action version of Beauty and the Beast... Do you know the uproar there was over that? With many people threatening to boycott Disney over it. Disney stuck with it but again, only within the last few years has there been any real breakthrough. And it hasn't been an easy battle. Glee was also surprising. And Riverdale.

Name another character, in the y18 and younger categories, not one I have mentioned that is gay/trans/lesbian/LGBTQ.

There aren't that many, if any, left. But it makes my point very clear. Authors and movie playwrights have a huge disadvantage that you obviously didn't pay attention to.

Actually Fenrir is more like the predatory straight male who would go infecting women with AIDS, if her metaphor is werewolves are AIDS. Because AIDS as we all know, wasn't because of gay men but originated in Africa among straight populations. You just made yourself seem homophobic by jumping right to gays after typing AIDS. How phobic of you.

If Cursed Child isn't what she wrote nor her doing, you cannot include it in your little silly idiotic ranting against her. Sorry, you can't and it shouldn't be there.

I can understand why she would start blocking people for asking the same question as everyone else over and over and over again. I am sure she hates repeating herself as much as I do, especially when she cannot really do a damn thing about it.

And yes, I do realize that I didn't do any of that in order, welcome to my ADHD Aspie mind...

Have a nice day, and do your research.

Why JK Rowling Is Not The Perfect Goddess Some Of Y’All Seem To Think She Is

In other words: why you should maybe step away from the internet for a hot sec sweetie, because fandom isn’t supposed to be a mind control cult where we all have to worship the very ground an author walks on. People are allowed to disagree with the author! It’s a free world!

@creatorofwords uh oh, thanks for playing but try again next time!! I came with the fucking receipts for this.

Racist

1). The Nagini Thing. Making an Asian woman a slit-eyed animal is not at all good, even worse when that animal is a literal object owned by magical Hitler and used as a vessel for his soul. I don’t care what you think it is possible to have people of colour represented without racist storylines. Lots of people are talkng about this from all kinds of angles, it’s fucking bad.

2). The representation of Cho Chang. For a start, her name is actually two Korean surnames for a Chinese character so that tells you all you need to know about JK’s respect for other cultures. You should watch this video all about how hurtful the way Cho is written is for Asian girls.

3). How many characters are in Harry Potter? About five maybe are people of colour? That’s terrible!!

4). “she literally wrote a book against racism” have you considered that talking over people of colour who try to have a conversation about your white feminism and deciding you know better than them about their own experiences isn’t actually a good thing to do.

5). In the lore around how magic works, she shows that wand magic is superior to other forms. She also writes on Pottermore that white people had to show Native Americans how to use wands. This just screams of colonialist bullshit about educating the poor savages for their own good. Fuck that.

6). The treatment of the Patil twins, more side characters who are mostly forgotten except when our white heroes want to take them to the Yule Ball and then ignore them the whole time while they moon over white women. Classy.

Homophobic

1). She straight up didn’t write any gay characters then instead of acknowledging that mistake, she retroactively claims Dumbledore is gay like we should all be grateful. But newsflash, that doesn’t count as representation!! And she doesn’t deserve woke ally points.

2). This has then got worse recently because the next Fantastic Beasts film is supposed to build on Dumbledore and Grindelwald when Grindelwald is coming to power. We know that supposedly Dumbledore was in love with Grindelwald as a kid and that’s why it takes him so long to bring Grindelwald down. So its massively relevant to this film’s plot then right?? And she’s already said he’s gay so it will be made canon now right?? Wrong. She’s stated she’s not doing anything to do with it at all. Because she loves getting fake ally points but hates actually doing anything.

3). Everytime queer fans tried to bring this up, even very politely, she blocks them and accuses them of bullying. Is that really anyway to treat lifelong fans just because they raise an issue they’re worried about? Especially when its her books that helped teach a lot of us to speak up when we see something wrong.

4). The queerbaiting in Cursed Child. Now she didn’t write this one so she’s not directly involved I guess. I haven’t read Cursed Child so I can’t talk on it much but if you just google queerbaiting in Cursed Child you should be able to find out more.

5). She recently stated that the werewolves are a metaphor for the AIDs crisis. Now a). personally, I think there are certain narratives that belong to the people they happened to and the AIDs crisis would be one of them so she needs to get her dirty straight fingers the hell off of that. b). besides Lupin one of the main werewolves is Fenrir, a guy who literally just goes around biting children to turn them. That sounds massively like the stereotype from that era that gay men were just predators and paedophiles and were out to infect your kids.

Transphobic

1). She liked a bunch of tweets where terfs were saying vile things about trans women. She claims this was an accident but you tell me how easy it is to like multiple tweets on the same topic by accident (especially when they shouldn’t even come up on your feed unless you followed people with those views or searched for them). So yeah make of that one what you will but I’m adding transphobia to the list.

Culturally Appropriative

1). She uses Native American mythology within her works, things that Native American groups have specifically asked her not to use because it is still an active part of their culture and it’s therefore offensive to portray it as “part of fantasy.”

Abuse Apologism

1). Despite including messages in the HP series about the seriousness of abuse she continues to support having Depp in her films and goes so far as to speak up for him despite the fact he beat his wife. She dares to call herself a feminist despite this.

2). Has the house-elves as stand ins for slaves but it’s okay because they like being slaves! They’re happy! Let’s laugh at Hermione for helping them!

JK Rowling is very much the kind of rich white lady who might have been progressive back in the 90s but then got comfortable and never bothered to learn or grow. Now she’s actively harming minority groups with her constant additions to the story and it’s bullshit.

I’m not saying you can’t love Harry Potter (I love Harry Potter!). But stop sending these kind of messages to people who don’t love JK, it’s honestly pathetic. You have a brain, think for yourself and stop believing that she can do no wrong. it’s kind of weird… no human being is perfect.

If you love a series so much that you have to insult people who disagree with the author despite all of the incredibly valid reasons they disagree with the author, then you really need to get a new hobby. it’s not healthy for you, it really isn’t. If you’re genuinely bothered or upset by people criticising an author, you need to take a step back.

P.S. Google is right there and all of this is a matter of public record so you could y’know, read about this stuff instead of yelling at me about it.
