#umbridge is the religion teacher everyone hates in their school

[morsmordream]

me atm with my silly little tomarry non-magical (haha unless…) AU that i came up with in the shower the other day

harry potter fans see the genocidal classist monster and think haha no nose funnee

then they see the mean teacher and think EVIL!!! KILL!!! MURDER!!! H A T E ! ! !

I'm just like

why are you infantilizing the mass murderer but cheering at the victim of an inferred gang rape

why are you memeing and coddling literally wizard hitler but willing to throw a brick at the mean teacher

why will you draw sexy fanart of the fascist but draw stabbings of the kind of rude dickhead

...

white westerners seem to not take enormous threats like voldemort seriously, and jump on the bandwagon of hating the pastel asshole. "but umbridge sent the dementor after harry!" bitch she knew he'd be fine, he's harry godamn the-boy-who-motherfuckin-lived potter! she just wanted to get him booted from hogwarts on technicality to help fudge look better. she's just a neoliberal, and I feel like that's way way less threatening than the open fucking fascist. yeah if the ministry had their way they'd stick their heads in the sand and get slaughtered by the death eaters. wait, the problem with the neoliberals is that the fascists will kill everyone? so the problem is the fucking fascists??? holy goddamn motherfuckin shitballs batman, I've got it!

now I'm not siding with the ministry because they're a bunch of fucking assholes but what are my other options? the order of the phoenix? oh yeah sure let's give authority to the hands of only the most powerful wizards in europe, I'm sure that won't cause any horribly unfortunate collar tugging borderline fascist rhetoric like in dark superhero fantasies like watchmen and sky high. wait. shit. ok then how about uuuhhh maybe the teenagers who have a track record for really shitty decision making and leadership skills? aw fuck. how about the heads of wizard schools? oh yes because oligarchy is totally ok if it's a triumvirate of schools instead of religion especially when the people who run them are the shadiest motherfuckers in the series. it's all corrupt and garbage so all we can do is threat management and go with whoever isn't gonna fuck shit up the most.

I'd much rather roll my eyes at beureaucrats and try to compromise about what my free education will teach me than get fuckin avada kedavra'd for having an "impure bloodline".

and you're a fucking moron if you disagree.

I am talking about the book series and nothing else. there is no possible allegory, euphemism, or inference to be made from this post.
