Terfs: no you don’t understand!!!! If you have two X chromosomes you’re a girl and if you have one X and one Y you’re a boy!!!! Go back to high school biology 😤😤😤

High school biology: *on the concept of sex and chromosomes*

JK Rowling being a Holocaust denier wasn’t on my 2024 bingo card but in hindsight it probably should have been.

At this point I don’t care how much Harry Potter means to you, I don’t care if it saved your life, if you think having some dumb fucking House scarf from a made up fantasy series is more important than calling out a white supremacist, transphobic, ableist hag then YOU are part of the problem and you are just as bad as she is.

She Who Shall Not Be Named

When I was in second grade,

I read all your books in two weeks

I wanted to be like you

A writer renowned the world over

I would write letters to your characters,

It’s how I got my start

You inspired me,

Gave me joy,

Shaped me to be who I am

And then I grew up

And suddenly,

I am a monster

A 15 year old pervert who will sneak into restrooms

To leave tears and smashed innocence behind

When I am still fragile myself

A cup just waiting to be chipped away

And washed down the drain with blood

In The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen by Alan Moore, Harry Potter (for legal reasons he's not called by name) is revealed to be the Antichrist and Aleister Crowley's Moonchild. Hogwarts faked his adventures to prepare him for being the Antichrist/Moonchild by order of Voldemort.

When Harry finds out he goes mad, goes on a violent rampage, and gets killed by Mary Poppins (for legal reasons she's only referred to as Mary and she is also the Judeo-Christian God).

This is the only version of Harry Potter that is acceptable and I will die on this hill.

the hogwarts legacy conversation really highlights something that i think usually stays hidden under the polite facade of liberalism. in the past days, weeks, months, it has become increasingly more apparent that there are SHOCKINGLY few trans allies in spaces which pride themselves on inclusivity and acceptance. as liberal people whose allyship so far has been limited to offering pronouns in their bio and maybe putting an infographic on their insta story once in a while are pressed to make choices to actively support trans people, it becomes increasingly clear that what they offered was never allyship at all. it becomes increasingly clear that their 'allyship' was contingent on all trans people being nice and unobtrusive and separate from other issues. people are dropping their illusions of supporting trans people shockingly quickly when confronted with the choice to actively harm people or not play a video game. as pat loller described it, they are presented with a trolley problem with trans people on one side and jk rowling/the (already paid) game devs on the other. one side will not be damaged. the train will take them on to their next destination, in fact, with very little fanfare. the train will crush the trans people. you have to actively pull the lever to crush the trans people. so-called allies are actively pulling the lever and then getting upset when trans people get upset about being DIRECTLY HARMED. how dare we speak up about the issues we face. how dare we be upset about the direct disregard and harm that people who claimed to support us are now foisting upon us. how dare we be messy about that. we are being actively legislated out of existence, and people who said they were our allies are abandoning us in droves for their much larger problem of... not being able to play a game. it's honestly fucking comedic. your allyship means nothing if it comes with conditions. your allyship means nothing if you are not willing to take action for the sake of your allies. your allyship means nothing if you are not willing to LITERALLY SIT STILL AND NOT DO A SINGLE ACTION for the sake of your allies. the trans community asks people NOT TO PLAY THE GAME. and people look us in the eyes and tell us that a few hours of antisemitic gameplay is worth more than our lives. fine. whatever. we see how it is. glad that they're finally being honest, at least. if you play hogwarts legacy or engage with harry potter i hope you die.

Not gonna lie, quite telling how when it comes to making the characters diverse (aka the only appeal they got for this reboot as everything else about it isn't appealing) for the Harry Potter reboot, the only confirmed one we got so far is the role of Snape being offered to Paapa Essiedu....because out of all characters to make diverse, its the abusive incel who literally joined the bad guys obsessed with making the wizard world pure blooded at one point and went by 'the half blood prince' and only stopped being a member of the bad guys obsessed with making the wizard world pure blooded....because the girl he's still obsessed with years after school was on the killing block and ended up on said killing block because she refused to let Voldermort kill her son, who Snape was fine with dying alongside her husband and only asked for her to be spared. Just....that's certainly a fucking choice by the reboot/HBO and JK Rowling.

bleh

mfs be like "theres inclusivity in my book!!" then its just one ginger character thats slightly weird

[deancrowleycas]

Sorry y'all being reblogged by known fandom culture and Tumblr connoisseur Strange Aeons was not on my Bingo card stream my immortal

[its-ribs]

So this fucking happened

[olivescardigans]

one thing I do not understand is why people on twitter insist on talking about how bad they think the Harry Potter series is now that they all hate JKR. the one I see the most often is “I can't believe she sad XYZ about the other wizard school she’s suuuucchhh a bad writer” its like they can't wrap their heads around the fact that a book series written over the course of over two decades by one person is gonna have some inconsistencies about minor storytelling details. why does it matter! just admit you can’t let it go!! stop talking about it!! go outside!!!

[lavender-0-menace]

You sound like one of the angels in good omens making jokes -.-

Harry potter has been the mental refugee for many people and whenever you think is wrong to engage with it now, some people think differently.

Goddamit just be kind! Fuck JKR she is an egocentristic idiot but fuck you for being cruel towards someone who just wants to try a game

suck my dick and touch grass loser. people have different opinions than you. get over it.

[elysianholly]

You know, this country is a dumpster fire, but I can still reblog this and JKR can't do a goddamn thing about it.

btw the thing she couldn’t ignore was someone calling her out for saying anti-depressants/hormone therapy are only perscribed by lazy doctors

[cryptidjeepers]

idk if anyone has told people this but if you're against a law that protects people against hate speech. youre a bad person

[vulpinesaint]

i need everybody ever to watch this video actually. the issue is not difficult but if you’re somehow still feeling uncertain in any way about hogwarts legacy watch the video. they say it well and they say it with confidence and i love them actually

[mccoalminer]

Imagine being so far down a bigotry rabbit hole that you think people hating you must be because you're Not Part Of A Minority Group. Imagine being too self absorbed to consider the much more simple and plausible possibility that people hate you because you're... yknow... being an asshole. voldemort deluding himself into believing everyone hates him because he's straight and not because he's a white supremacist, mass murderer, literal personification of evil, etc

Girl help I'm being demonised and dehumanised for *checks notes* not being trans. Nothing to do with the hate and vitriol I'm spouting ahaha

She ain't even subtle anymore lmao
