The interspecies dance between millennials who read Harry Potter when it was considered subversive and anti-christian, and Gen Zers who call it racist TERF propaganda, is one of my favorite culture schisms.
I think that the pearl clutching Christians freaking out over the “Devil magic” had the effect of people just convincing themselves the series as a whole was more progressive than it ever actually was.
That was the sentiment when I read it. Those things were progressive for us, when groups of parents were petitioning to get it taken from the school library — in a white prairie town before everyone had a cell phone, interracial couples were the subject of gossip and it was normal to compare trans people to aspiring attack helicopters.
Obviously I don't support the TERFy cunt now.
millennial here. glad to hear the next gen is more literate, i've been putting hp's piss poor quality and shitty ethics on blast since like 2005 and people acted like i was regurgitating rush limbaugh or something because stupid fucking boomers went and made it a tribal thing.
