    i don’t want anyone to feel conflicted because they like harry potter and hate jowling kowling rowling. i want them to feel peace with not watching or reading harry potter because it’s a terribly written story by a talentless hack who got extremely lucky. literally everything about it is awful, the characters, the plots, the conclusions…

    please get over your nostalgia. you’re not a child anymore, just think about how much you projected your own good will into a story full of bigotry and vile.

    i don’t pretend to know what that’s like but i just want to say, to varying degrees, most everyone struggles to find themselves and whenever they do it always feels late. some people marry at 20 and figure out they want something else from life at 45. people can find out they need to change their moral beliefs, their faith, their family… we’re all trying to figure things out and the best we can do is make the most of what we have at any time.

    I’d argue that’s why it’s not good satire. this just goes straight into another conspiracy theory now. satire doesn’t really work when it straight up contributes to what it’s supposed to be satirizing.

    that’s like satirizing the US culture by shooting up a school.
