My mom: I don’t get what people are so angry about and why you hate her so much. It sounds overblown. And she’s allowed to have opinions.

Me and my brother, for the 50th time: She’s a billionaire using the money you give her to strip rights from people. And the goblins are basically beat for beat Nazi antisemitic caricatures.

My mom: But did she explicitly say she want to genocide trans people? And how else should goblins look?

I think my mom might have issues.

oh my fucking god it doesn’t matter if there’s a trans character in the blood libel harry potter game because the profits from that game are going to be used to further the eradication of trans rights in the uk im literally begging people to use their brains for once

#anti jk rowling #she's not hateful she's actually very accepting #too accepting actually that's the whole problem #and her critical thinking stops working when she sees cute cgi animals and cool aesthetics #also doesn't seem to get that a person being calm and polite can still be hateful and hurtful as fuck #like if anyone has a complication of JK Terflings biggest hits I would love it #because maybe if I show her the receipts she'll finally stop getting us HP merch for christmas #I literally told her multiple times I think JK Rowling is a bad person and I don't want to give her money #still got an HP branded board game for christmas #and it's hard to explain why so many things even in the HP series are fucked up because her brain turns off at 'pretty' and 'magic'#'Why is owning hosue elves bad' Mom they're literal slaves #'Yeah but dobby gets freed so its fine'#she doesn't know about Winky or anything to do with the elves in the later books #because she hasn't read the books past book 3 #because she's been reading them with my brother who is dislexic and books past that are too long for him to read in a reasonable time #sorry to rant in your tags #it's just so fucking frustrating #I've explained it to her so many times #but to my mom transphobia is just an opinion like any other #like she agrees that it's a wrong opinion but she doesn't see how much damage it can do #and also thinks that people are 'trying to progress the society too fast and not giving the old people time to adjust'#to her being rude and swearing especially as a girl is a worse thing than covertly advocating for genocide I guess #I love her but sometimes she's really fucking dense #again I feel like for her demographic (middle-aged right-leaning woman) she's extremely accepting #it's just that she's so constantly surrounded by people of her same demographic that she absorbs the misinformation they spread around #again sorry for the rant
