People need to stop blaming 'parasocial relationships' when it's revealed to the public that a famous person has done something controversial (or even a crime) and the public is upset. 'I can't believe xxx did that!' doesn't always mean that the person who said it has a parasocial relationship with xxx. Usually it's just our faith in humanity, we want to believe that everyone has some basic human decency (especially someone we might admire) and it's only natural to be disappointed when we learn they're a bad person.
#this is about#neil gaiman#neil gaimen allegations#not art#text#I do believe the allegations. no I haven't read the article (if someone has a link that could send me that would be superb)#but uyeah. too many people yell 'stop having parasocial relationships with famous people' when it's just that we like their 'art'#and that we feel disappointed when we learn what they did#also jk Rowling is bad too. not for the same reasons but people trying to defend her using Neil as a counter argument is wrong#civil conversation about this topic is totally ok (and encouraged) but if for some reason I receive any hate asks I don't even know...#like excuse me for assuming people aren't horrible monsters my bad

Always an experience watching the leftism leave FNAF fans when someone mentions that Scott Cawthon financially backed fascist politicians.
The switch from posting hardline leftist tweets about boycotts and signal boosts and critical takedowns of politicians and celebrities to ‘ohhh, well. everyone makes mistakes. who can blame him, listen he. he donated money to gay charities too. that makes it ok! a millionaire in his forties is allowed to have political beliefs. does it even matter? just let it go!’ is whiplash inducing. The antivaxxer celebrities have got to go, but this one horror dev who quietly handed wads of cash to antivax lawmakers? He’s chill, he can stay.
The charity thing is so funny too because suddenly utilitarian positive-negative point counting is the way to go. Maybe an abacus would help calculate the net good of donating to the Trevor Project minus donating thousands of dollars to Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump. -10 points if I push a kid in a lake but +11 points if I help an old lady across the street, so I’m chill. You can’t judge me. Hey, maybe. Just don’t push a kid in the lake period. How fucking low is the bar when we’re excusing maxing out the possible dollar amount of donations to Mitch fucking McConnell. That should be like. Default you’re a bad person.
#delete later#personal#not art#rant#you can still be a fan of fnaf 100% but god you’re not obligated to defend its creator#don’t pretend like Scott is cool#“’Scott likes gay people he only voted for trump for his fiscal and defense policies in defendi america from terrorists!’#kid. that’s not good either.#fiscal conservatism kills people too.#the whole thing exposes how weak some leftists are to the image of the ‘well-mannered right wing republican.’ the type who would#respectfully disagree with your right to exist with a kind top of the hat#‘as long as you silently hate me and force a nice smile while shaking my hand it’s ok’#this is why jk Rowling is hated while Scott gets a free pass. just have to hide your hate well enough and liberals will excuse you ig

Not gonna lie, JK Rowling making it clear she doesn't understand romantic relationships unless sex is involved somehow explains a-lot about her inability to write romance in her books.
#anti jk rowling#anti jkr#fuck jk rowling#fuck jkr#jk rowling#anti harry potter#like in HP alone you had boy and girl who were toxic for each other getting together and having two kids#an older guy getting with a younger woman that itself was acknowledged to be questionable in the books but still went through#and they also had a kid together before they died#the way cho chang cedric and harry and ginny were all handled is just various crimes being committed#plus unrelated to harry potter but jkr did call lolita yes THAT lolita 'a tragic love story'#so are we surprised she doesnt understand romance this point

I see a post about how JK Rowling's goblins are antisemitic. I click on the person's blog. Their blog is filled with Holocaust inversion, MENA Jewish genocide denial, Hamas support, political "takes" from Twitter bitches with the red triangle in their usernames. I click out and block.
#its a little morbidly funny how consistent this is#like i can fairly accurately predict if someone is a raging antisemite based on the things they do choose to reblog about antisemitism s#which are always surface level criticisms of tropes in media#which while true sure are kind of an obvious distraction when there is a massive title wave of ~leftists~ reframing supporting antisemitic#terrorists as progressive praxis#🤷♀️🤷♀️#if youve posted about jk Rowling's goblins don't feel bad thwy are antisemitic#its just very obvious and stupid when someone is like HEY LOOK OVER HERE!! LOOK AT THAT!!! THAT KIDS STORY HAS BAD GUYS WITH BIG NOSES!!#DON'T LOOK BEHIND ME AT THE A CURSE UPON THE JEWS FLAG LOOK AT THE KIDS BOOK!!!#gingerswagfreckles#antisemitism#leftist antisemitism#jumblr

Randomly thinking about how jk Rowling coded it in to the HP universe that the stairs to the girls dorms had a spell to keep boys out but not the inverse. Even having a character explain to Ron that its because the founders viewed boys as less trustworthy.
In retrospect given that it really shouldn't have been a surprise when she harpooned on about "men in dresses trying to invade women's spaces". She clearly sees sexual deviancy as a distinctly male trait.
#jk rowling#fuck jkr#harry potter#androphobia#transphoba#if you can't see the obvious line between how she views boys in the hp universe#and how she view people with a y chromosome in real life:#you aren't paying attention#misandry#mens rights#feminism#this is why i hate rad fems#like#ok#sure#this is just a throw away bit of the universe lore#it doesn't necessary follow that the author has x view#but it gains a new tinge in the context of everything else.

this fat liberation month I'm wishing for every british author to be visited by the ghosts of fatphobic characters they've written past present and future
#this book I'm reading just hit me with a suckerpunch of VIOLENT fatphobia chapter#just like the most vile shit which is such a shame because I was having so much fun with the book up to that point 😭#it's just like the way JK Rowling writes fat people like the same style of fatphobia#for the record I specified british because for some fucking reason there's always fatphobia in every book I read by a british author#but this is a lesson authors of every nationality need to learn#lyla's talking again#tw fatphobia#fat liberation

James would do anything that would make him appear like the hero he always romanticized about being. So joining the Order wasn't that admirable in his case. Lily and Remus are much more braver for that.
In a war, you either pick one side or the other, but you're going to the frontlines no matter what. In the end, I'm sorry, but the way the worldbuilding of Harry Potter is set up doesn't make me see anyone as heroes, just as people who had no choice but to pick a side in a war they couldn't escape from.
This isn't a story where a totalitarian regime is established and people unite to bring it down (like The Hunger Games, for example). Instead, it was just bourgeois fighting against bourgeois to decide who got to set the social norms, but even the most "progressive" ones never made any real reforms. I mean, werewolves remained discriminated against, house-elves were still enslaved, goblins were treated like garbage, giants too… It's a shitty society. So, what exactly was the purpose of the Order? To stop Voldemort from ruling the world? Okay, and...? Wizards treating house-elves as private property isn't much better than discriminating against someone for their blood status. It's an incredibly cynical and hypocritical perspective.
They had no plan for social reform, nor did they care, because the Order and its followers were led by upper-class people or families that were traditionally pureblood and had no problem with non-human beings living in misery—as long as humans were fine, the rest could rot. They weren’t revolutionaries, nor did they seek social justice. They just wanted to maintain their status quo and their personal privileges and interests. It was a war between bourgeois, because J.K. Rowling is a fucking bourgeois who doesn't understand the roots of social issues, and that perspective carries over into her vision of "justice" in her books.
So, sorry, but Lily doesn’t seem heroic to me, and Remus just seems like a completely alienated fool. If I were him, I would have told them all to go to hell. Let’s not forget that the Potters end up dead because they chose Peter over Remus as their Secret Keeper—because Sirius suggested it, since they didn’t trust Remus because he was a werewolf. Could they be any more of your average bourgeois? Seriously, what the hell—
#just a bunch o privileged people fighting because they want to preserve their privileges#each other in their on ways#but privileged people after all#ohhhh killing mugleborns is bad but discriminate the rest of the beings in the world it's ok#treating muggles like idiots it's super progressist#they were fake progressists honestly#the order of the phoenix#order of the phoenix#first wizarding war#james potter#sirius black#remus lupin#peter pettigrew#lily evans#lily evans potter#lily potter#albus dumbledore#dumbledore#voldemort#death eathers#blood purism#harry potter#harry potter series#harry potter meta#harry potter analysis#jk rowling#harry potter world#harry potter worldbuilding

Seeing posts doing this in the tag has actually pissed me the fuck off beyond reason now oh my god, this situation isn't about the terf queen and the fact that some of you are trying it just to try and say she isn't as bad as Neil is holy shit in a bad way.

In anticipation for the ending of my hero academia, I gotta say: man, is anyone remembering that one time that one beloved book series about a wizarding school ended with the flawed government staying exactly the same, everyone having kids and naming them after killed off characters, and the protagonist becoming a cop?
#similar vibes is all I’m saying#I fucking hate jk Rowling and I think Harry Potter is really shitty writing#but like#we should steal the hp fandom’s ’epilogue what epilogue’ tag on ao3 cause like. same.#like I’m not saying the content of the endings are exactly the same#except for the part where an oppressive system that in a good story would have been changed/fixed/altered/removed stays in power in the#exact way that it was before#especially when the main characters end up upholding said system#but anyways besides that part#both of these series’ endings (so far) are shitty and poorly thought out and discredit the assumed morals of the stories#both of them pretend that the series was some Greek tragedy when all the way until the ending#it just wasn’t.#bnha#mha#my hero academia#boku no hero academia#mha spoilers#just original posts#harry potter critical

i recommend refraining from sexism terms/terms usually used to insult women when talking about jk r*wling :3
fucking piece of shit whiny prick. go run to the pathetic clowns who think you raging about minorities is revolutionary, you revolting disgrace of a human. being a bigoted asshole isn’t getting you brownie points. it’s just showing you just like people who fit into your heterosexist view of the world. disgusting.
#sick and tired of her making it a ‘woman issue’ when people come at her for continually being a shit person#PLEASE stop. you don’t have to talk about this. NO ONE knows about ace people. we are so small bc we make ourselves small#bc of people like YOU#I don’t fucking get it#asexual#international asexuality day#:)#for my fellow fakies<333#(im an ace arospec girlie dw)#who’s also trans so this is just pent up stuff haha#fuck jkr#jk rowling#<- in case you want to block the tag for this. person :3#acephobia#lgbtqia#trans#hope you all stay safe#love you all#this community deserves to have space and be given respect#queer save

The potential friendship between Connor and North is something that really interests me. Would she ever trust truly him? And if she did, what would their dynamic be?
#I think they’re alike in a lot of ways but different in a lot of ways too#this is definitely not a fully formed thought just an idea I find intriguing#Detroit become human#dbh connor#dbh north#would they be frenemies?#would they bond over their willingness to use violence as a means to an end#I really wish they had made north’s writing better/more consistent#what do you mean Markus can kiss her without her consent (sexual assault actually) and they STILL become lovers#David cage does not respect women’s stories at all UNLESS they’re stories of motherhood#it’s the jk Rowling problem#maybe they would be sparring buddies#I think they’d both like sports. can we talk about android sports for a moment#that’s such a cool idea. like#how does Android culture evolve after the revolution#how do you make a life after that#anyway bedtime#thank you for reading all this if you did

so now miss joanne katherine is coming after us aces. 😐
first, she wants to know what’s in our pants because she’s afraid that every queer person’s goal in life is secretly to SA someone under the ‘disguise of a different gender.’
now, she’s mad that aces typically don’t want to use what’s in our pants at all. so- you want us to fuck, or you don’t? babe. pick a goddamn side, or just leave people alone.
to all the other aces out there, i’m standing with you
🖤🩶🤍💜
#yes this is my first post in like a month#i’ve crawled out of the depths of hell just for this#fuck jkr#jk rowling#ace pride#ace#asexual pride

How would you have “fixed” Ginny’s character?
I think that just giving her some relevance throughout the series, so that she wouldn't come out of nowhere as the perfect Mary Sue, along with not turning her into a typical tomboy who isn't like other girls because she's basically a guy with boobs and is super hot (because clearly, to be the "girl" of the protagonist, she has to fulfill all possible male fantasies) would have been enough, honestly. The problem with Ginny is that she feels like a character written by the typical boomer man who projects his sexual fantasies into his books instead of creating real women, except it was written by a woman, which is quite embarrassing.
#like man is not so difficult#just made her not a male fantasy#that's all#and also give her some developmen throwing the books#ginny weasly#this isn't an anti sorry#not the character's fault just jk rowling being a misogynistic cow#jk rowling#anti jk rowling#harry potter
