Rowling made every choice you'd make if you wanted to frame the wizarding world - even the 'good' part of it - as a regressive isolationist society that can only evolve dramatically or succumb to fascism, but it was all accidental; she's just british x.com/minmodulation/…

@KrisWolfheart The ultimate message of Harry Potter is 'the status quo must be maintained'. From a societal pov & also from a character pov. Hermione literally gets tortured & it has no effect on her. She gets a slur carved into her arm & is left unchanged by the experience.
@KrisWolfheart and then she hard tagged into transphobia (or I guess was always transphobic but decided to be less quiet about it.)
@KrisWolfheart "She's just British" needs to be a meme more than anything that's needed to be a meme EVER. lol
@KrisWolfheart Yeah, I dunno, I think I would assign her some agency.... Terry Pratchett is British and he didn't do this garbage <3
@KrisWolfheart I think this is the best use of a semicolon I’ve seen on this site
@KrisWolfheart Even in talking about the holocaust she's ignoring/denying gay/trans people, and all the other non-jews that were killed.
@KrisWolfheart @MinModulation >"a regressive isolationist society that can only evolve dramatically or succumb to fascism" Also know as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
@KrisWolfheart Those books took place in the last decade where they would make sense. No one with a smartphone is putting their head in a fireplace rather than FaceTiming but wizards also hate elextronics.
@KrisWolfheart Not only that, the ultimate goal of harry in the books was maintaining the status quo so much that he at rhe end became the equivalent of a police officer
