Bruh itâs not that hard to let go of Harry Potter why does it have such a gorilla grip on some of u people. âItâs a cultural phenomenonâ okay? itâll never be SpongeBob.
#also#and i promise this isnât an attack specifically aimed at my irls but it is about you too#white lgbt+ people saying theyâre trying to reclaim it yâall reclaiming the antisemitism and racism and ableism and fatphobia too?#ESPECIALLY afab white queer people who are the people i mainly see claiming theyâre trying to take it back#even though jkrâs transphobia is specifically against trans women#yâall are like âi think i will make this for meâ#i love some of yâall fr but besties this is not yours to reclaim#this isnât 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 youâre reclaiming:#the racism of the house elves#the antisemitism of the goblins#the fatphobia ofâŠlike 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 âmagical cureâ 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 couldnât recognize this#but when youâre still trying to die on this hill as an adult who is willing to let nostalgia allow you to find comfort in hate#i canât be okay with that
