[internet nonsense][Rowling] that's enough internet today. Yes, she's a fucking TERF, but you know what's as shitty as gender essentialist bullshit? Judging eight year olds for liking Harry Potter.

Especially considering how much effort and enforcement has gone into creating a culture which results in elementary school children who either actually like Harry Potter or 'like' it because it's held vast sway since before they were fucking born.

literal! children!

oh for... I'd say "really?" but. of course

Like... yes there should absolutely be critical judgment, especially now that she's confirmed she's a TERF.

But you know who you should be judging?

Rowling and people who are defending her.

Not actual children for liking something

oh my god

the internet is fucked up :/

Judge: forty year olds who still use Harry Potter references as their primary way of understanding the world and "can't" disavow Rowling
Don't judge: literal children
