#hot take harry potter has been problematic this whole time and we knew it#i remember seeing posts about the antisemitism and werewolf hiv metaphor years ago#is jkr's increasing transphobia concerning? yes#but i thought we were already just fine with her being awful?#and making our own thing#like i get it#we dont want her poisoning our culture with her toxic messages#but it's already in it#it's a bit like how the bible is in everything and the jewish response is to wrestle with all the problematic bits rather than reject it wh#when we become disillusioned#not that she's at that level of cultural saturation obv#but in terms of we can say that anyone who engages with potterverse is trash or we can just let the fandom die the death it was already dyi#ng#im thinking a lot about the bible and judaism bc of yom kippur and also i recently clicked on the y****h wikipedia article#(name of God but not but close enough that i dont want to write it out)#really have to accept that my religion came from the combination of a thunder god and a mountain god and another god's wife#and simultaneously that i'll be fasting in a few days and accepting this compound god as my sovereign and parent as a way of ritually#coming to terms with my shortcomings#if the bible came out today its authors would be canceled immediately but i happen to love my corner of the fandom#anyway that's my metaphor rn#but im also keeping an open mind#it's hard for me to let go of the first fandom i read fic in
