I'm watching a youtube video and they started talking about all the shit in harry potter that just didn't make any fuckin sense, and while I don't believe that the "the books have actually been bad this whole time" sentiment is helpful in the argument against jkr, it is sort of insane that for the like 20 years before she went fully mask off terf everyone just didn't question any of the wild inconsistencies in the books 😭

#I say this as someone who liked harry potter for YEARS and didn't question any of the inconsistencies until she went fully mask of terf #theres a certain amount of suspension of disbelief that has to go into consuming a fantasy work #and it's common among many pieces of media to indulge tropes that maybe don't actually make the most logical or practical sense #but hearing them talk about all the stuff I'm like. Yeah Hey Wait A Second #like I don't think its helpful for critiques of jkrs transmisogyny to include 'and the books always sucked anyway!'#outside from how her transphobia was present in them and the other bigotry throughout the books #because plenty of media is Bad and still beloved regardless (looking at you star wars)#I love plenty of media that just like objectively sucks #but it is insane that so many ppl dismiss jkrs terfisms to defend liking her books as if they're the best series to bless planet earth #when in reality they are full of things to critique the quality of #anyway.#ghost posts #text
