oh i just learned what specific racist thing JKR did and uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh wow
Y’all remember Nagini? Voldemort’s pet snake?
this is her!
I’m starting to see why… But does JK have any say over movie casting??
Making your character who is a snake and a pet of a nazi into an East Asian dragon lady stereotype is bad no matter what
True. But does she have control over who gets casted in the movies? Maybe this is the studio’s fault? I’m not defending her, just curious as to how this happened in the first place.
A stereotype from the 30’s. We ain’t living in the 1930’s. I highly doubt J.K Rowling of all fucking people would do something of the sort with the intent of being racist. Don’t look too far into it.
JK Rowling would never do anything like have antisemitic caricatures in her books, or like transphobic articles on her Twitter, or knowingly and willingly employ a known domestic abuser in her major Hollywood motion picture, or use a racist and orientalist trope that definitely didn’t die in the 30s, despite what some fools online will tell you
Then stop watching harry Potter you fucking half adults.
I’m sorry that you’re unfamiliar with the concept of media criticism
“Then stop watching Harry Potter” hmm. It’s almost like….. The media can portray racist stereotypes and it will effect people even if they don’t ingest said media.
Also… How is your response to actual racial stereotypes just “lol don’t watch it” like… Maybe that stereotype is just bad and shouldn’t be in media
Yeah but it is in media. It’s there bro. Rowling is a racist and a dummy. What is this 300 note tumblr post doing about that? Is this fuckin post really bringing the change we wanna see in media? No, it’s Entertaining college kids by allowing them to rip on something that’s massively easy to rip on, harry potter, and acting like it’s affecting some greater change in the world. Like this is a fucking LARP.
