If this is in any way true it’s also an indictment of capitalism and art being reduced to industry

What’s that? You want a story about a young person with a unique gift but also a burden, who can’t trust the adults around them and sets off on an adventure with their friends that challenges the foundation of their world?
How about… Parable of the Sower!

Obviously doesn’t explain The Whole Problem, but like the Harry Potter adult and the average adult who reads at a 5th grade level are the same adult

It spawned a whole generation of adults that said they wanted YA but really wanted middle grade, and the publishing industry responded to market forces by churning out middle grade fiction dressed up as YA, and this genre overran everything

Idk when the hyper antisemitic stuff came out about the first game I didn’t see anybody trying to make Jewish-friendly content out of it, that was not an impulse anyone had. The impulse was to put it and its fans in the fucking dumpster where they belong.

I literally do not understand this fandom stuff. I loudly critique everything I consume and have had people even recently just insinuate I’m part of one rival fandom because of how I criticize another piece of media. My brain just doesn’t fucking work like this.

I'm tired of having to coddle harry potter fans
if you have spent money on harry potter in the last five years, your money has contributed to the deaths of real trans people & the defense of their killers
that is a fact, don't celebrate a harry potter video game during pride month for fuck's sake
