The keys to the castle are now in the hands of the Community! In the latest FREE update to Hogwarts Legacy, PC Modding will now be officially supported with ...
Yeah… every time people do the “Well Harry Potter as a universe was great. It is just the creator that is shit” I just think of all the threads about the underlying racism, slavery, etc. The reality is that most of the die hard supporters never read the books and just watched the movies that already whitewashed over so much of the bigotry.
But yeah. I generally put it on the same level as stuff by watsuki and the like where it will be a REAL simpler world when that bastard dies and, until then, it would be a real shame if that linux iso happened to contain a copy of Rurouni Kenshin and Harry Potter.
Just REALLY annoys me when people are caping for it and trying to say “oh, its fine. She makes money off this but she would be really annoyed if she saw that there was a black person in it”
I honestly just think that most people have bad text analysis skills/lack of proper reading comprehension. The book is told by the perspective of a specific character, and that character says “the sky is green”, so people believe it because they can’t detach the POV from what they are reading. It happens every time, such as people believing that the Space Marines are the good guys, or that the fascist dictatorship in Starship Trooper isn’t that bad after all.
The movies whitewashed a lot of bad stuff, and I still felt creeped out by them when I was a kid. I’m happy that some people is finally coming around to understanding it now that JKR is more vocal of her outlandish political views.
I think it is more that people identify with a character that they REALLY should not. Scarface (first remake?) and Taxi Driver are pretty infamous examples of that. It HAS definitely gotten worse as media literacy has dropped to an abysmal level but it is still that fundamental concept of “This is the protagonist. I want to be like them. What they do must be right”
I can’t go too in depth on the harry potter movies since I never watched them. I was the cool kid who instead read about Harry Dresden and… that is a whole different bundle of misogyny, grooming, and copaganda. Yay…
But yeah. I still think so many people would benefit from sitting down and watching Yu Yu Hakusho of all things. That was a show that spent 2-3 major arcs tearing apart (what we would later call) toxic masculinity and pointing out that it is okay to like the cool as fuck thing but that you also need to understand what it actually is and reassess.
