Bruh it’s not that hard to let go of Harry Potter why does it have such a gorilla grip on some of u people. “It’s a cultural phenomenon” okay? it’ll never be SpongeBob.
#also#and i promise this isn’t an attack specifically aimed at my irls but it is about you too#white lgbt+ people saying they’re trying to reclaim it y’all reclaiming the antisemitism and racism and ableism and fatphobia too?#ESPECIALLY afab white queer people who are the people i mainly see claiming they’re trying to take it back#even though jkr’s transphobia is specifically against trans women#y’all are like ‘i think i will make this for me’#i love some of y’all fr but besties this is not yours to reclaim#this isn’t like a slur. putting someone with the power to actively kill trans women on a pedestal for the sake of your nostalgia#will never be worth the reclamation of nostalgia#and even beyond the terfism you cannot reclaim it without also saying you’re reclaiming:#the racism of the house elves#the antisemitism of the goblins#the fatphobia of…like a million characters#the racism and xenophobia of boiling non-white characters down to racist stereotypes like cho chang#the overall white supremacist and classist undertones of the muggle/pure blood system#the copraganda of the ministry of magic#the ableism of the ‘magical cure’ trope and treatment of curses as analogs to disability#and so much more horrible shit that most of you should be old enough to recognize has always been there now#im not going to shame anyone for having enjoyed harry potter as a kid when you couldn’t recognize this#but when you’re still trying to die on this hill as an adult who is willing to let nostalgia allow you to find comfort in hate#i can’t be okay with that
