    Growing up, I thought her books were captivating. Her books captivated youth enough that crime went down when a new book came out.

    This is a Harry Potter community. If you think Harry Potter was mediocre why are you even here?

        Welp Google is shit and all I can find trying to find evidence from years past is news about JKR being a shitty person.

      The author has made Harry Potter become associated with bigotry and transphobia. At least, it has a non zero relationship with it. So it’s important to remember that HP is only a set of stories to people privileged enough to be unaffected.

      Growing up, I gave up on the books halfway through. The little annoyances kept piling up. JK is too stuck on the status quo of her books and that’s a reflection of her world view.

      Because some people on Lemmy have nothing better to do than troll communities they don’t like. It was way more extreme on the conservative subs, but it looks like they might turn their attention to you

          Most progressives can handle a differing opinion. For some reason, you can’t. You have the rest of Lemmy, and yet you can’t handle one or two communities that offend you.

          Like why give a shit about a Harry Potter comm?

            IDK, why do you give a shit about a Harry Potter com?

            Projection, as always with conservatives. They’re just not in touch with their emotions, I guess.

              Because I’m seeing the exact same shit starting up here. If you had your way, there’d be one comm on Lemmy, and it’d just post the words “Trump is bad” every second of every day

                No, if I had my way there’d be no fascists on Lemmy or IRL.

                But for now I’ll settle for annoying you whenever I see you write something stupid.

                  Mate, I know your definition of fascist. You think everyone who disagrees with you is a fascist. Don’t even pretend you don’t think at least half the population is fascist, if not more.

                  How would you even go about making everyone agree with you? Mind control? Genocide?

                    Of course you don’t think you’re a fascist, a fish doesn’t know it’s wet. You’ve asked me for a definition before, and that’s not what I gave you. Leave it to reactionaries to act like they know everything while only regurgitating the corporate propaganda that they’ve gorged themselves on like the good little shit-eaters they are.

                    So I don’t feel like repeating myself to you, since you don’t listen anyway.

                    Funny how you don’t want a world without fascists though. That’s very illuminating, thank you for sharing.
