“we need more complex female characters” the second women start showing a glimpse of emotion y’all call them over-sensitive or annoying. smh.

‘what if we’d gotten highschool sweethearts romione’ is a genuine though that keeps me up at night (i would do nothing to change their slow burn however)

what a cute couple i bet they shop at forever 21

sneaking in a quick snog before being called to dinner

I love telling people that Snape was 31 years old in the first Harry Potter book and at most 38 when he died … he should have been at the podcast mic …

Headcanon: After the war, dark wizards clear out of Knockturn Alley, leaving it a ghost town. Property gets bought up cheap, and the alley becomes Wizarding Britain’s new gay district.

Plot twist: Borgin and Burkes shop is still there (it’s a local icon), selling creepy stuff as always, but now Mr. Borgin and Mr. Burke no longer have to hide their love for one another

lol I love it. headcanon accepted. they can often be seen of an evening, holding hands in a booth at the back of the Flaming Phoenix pub, located conveniently next door to their shop.

It is very telling to me that people here seem more upset over JK Rowling being a Holocaust Denier now, as opposed to the 5+ months of bullying, harassment, death threats, rape denials, rape apologism, suicide baiting, doxxing, Holocaust Inversion, Hitler apologism, victim-blaming, dehumanization, gaslighting, and antisemitism in general that Jews have been dealing with since October 7th.

Leftists and Westerners only care about antisemitism when it is convenient for them to do so. 😒

They're not really upset about JK Rowling being a Holocaust Denier. They're upset that she's not centering the lgbt/specifically trans experience of the Holocaust. Which, why would she, she hates trans people?

These people have made their opinions clear: they don't care about the Shoah, they've spent months downplaying it, inverting it, weaponizing it against Jews. So why do they suddenly care? Because they imagine themselves the victims in this situation. If JK Rowling incorrectly assumes that books on gender affirming care/queerness were not burned by the Nazis, in these people's minds, that is tantamount to wholesale Holocaust denial. It doesn't matter if someone like her is emphatically not a Holocaust Denier when it comes to a specific lens of Jewish Genocide (she's never downplayed or denied that aspect). She is a HOLOCAUST DENIER!

I can sense the smugness in someone like Alejandra Caraballo getting to act like this is an unfathomable act of cruelty and violence toward the victims of genocide, when she and others like her have been on Twitter spouting antisemitic nonsense for months, proving they find joy and liberation in the murder of Jews for months.

But it really is just another form of appropriation. Most people know what "Holocaust Denial" entails, they know it's about Nazis trying to dismiss or downplay the number of Jews killed by the Nazi regime. But because victimhood is a large component of these people's identities, they seethe with jealousy that Jews' have "gotten" to be victims. This grants someone instant legitimacy and morality, especially on a site like Tumblr. If you're oppressed, you're a good person.

They're very insistent that Jews were not "the only" victims of the Nazis, because to shut the fuck up and take a seat is to admit that one of the greatest atrocities in human history was not primarily about them, in fact, it wasn't about them at all. The number of them who actually descend from queer survivors is outrageously small. This is wounding to the ego. They want to gerrymander Jews out of the Holocaust. You can feel an almost excited energy coming from these people, a gratification and validation that they get to claim this experience, that queer goyim have an oppressor denying The Holocaust, which in this context was the genocide of queer people. Jews and Roma are not relevant.

I don't have a problem with people correcting JK Rowling, what she said was ahistorical. I do have a problem with them spreading like wildfire this breaking news that JK Rowling is an Official Holocaust Denier, and tacking on "and she made goblins antisemitic caricatures!" as a pathetic way to bolster their claims. See if she's also an antisemite then that means we're right! They've shown us what they think of Jewish people. They only care about themselves. But they know the optics of what they're doing, so in the midst of appropriating Jewish death and suffering and genocide, they'll make sure to include a token gesture. It's transparent.

Snape was fr in his 30s beefing with a prepubescent CHILD … he would have fit in right here on tumblr dot com

Always very funny to go from tumblr culture (Harry Potter basically, like, anathemized) to coworkers or relatives just casually bringing it up with zero idea about why the franchise would even be controversial. Unironically one of the bigger bubbles I forget I'm in.

“i love this little thing, this little thing i made… i love it so much i’d die for it, over and over again.”

I think people who lost their shit over badly written video game goblin racism shouldn’t have a say in what is or isn’t antisemitism

Okay so before I say what I want to, let me make it clear that while I never cared about HP goblin shit or the shofar that non-Jews on this app pretended to care about, this isn’t to invalidate any Jews who are bothered by it. My thought: the goblins in Baldur’s Gate look nearly identical to the goblins in fucking Hogwarts. And guess what? Half of the people on this app play that game with zero qualms. Including myself. But my point is that they never cared about the goblins. It was just hastily tacked on to the other issues with JKR to get more people to boycott the game. It is what it is.

I actually had this exact discussion with my friend back in September. We were talking about Hogwarts Legacy, because their dad had bought the game, so they were considering playing it—and while they had made their peace with how it related to JKR (they’re non-binary so they obviously have their own very valid issues with her), they wanted my opinion on the goblin thing.

I just shrugged and went, “look, if I avoided everything with possibly antisemitic tropes, I wouldn’t be able to consume any fantasy media—not even BG3, and we both know I’m never giving that game up.”

So yeah. It really is just how goblins be. I’ve made my peace with that. I’m personally much more concerned with how people react to real-world instances of antisemitism.

Exactly this. I had to tell people to stop speaking for Jewish people who largely didn't care about this hogwarts legacy thing and instead if they cared AT ALL to speak out against real insidious harmful antisemitism (and I gave examples).

Guess who I now had to block for sharing misinformation and hatred towards Jews ever since October 7th?

And they say their activism isn't performative.

Yup. And there’s something to be said about how there was no substantial uptick in antisemitic incidents or hate crimes after Hogwarts Legacy was released, but there was a gigantic, soaring uptick in antisemitism after 10/7. Yet the “activists” are only upset about the video game, not our literal murders.

And they wonder why we say they don’t give a shit about Jews.

i NEED the marauders girlies to look at Dominic Sessa bc that's Remus Lupin right there im sorry but Andrew Garfield will never come close he's lacking the tall weirdo gene
