The idea of alpha males is so funny bc guys really made up an upper class and then put themselves in it. Ok if you're an alpha male then I'm a turbo dude. That's one level higher. You wouldn't understand bc you're just an alpha, sorry.

11. Poverty is acceptable in a society with only 3000 people and literal magic I.e the Weasleys 12. Bellatrix can't just be a nazi. She is in love with voldemort. She has to be evil for a man. 13. Snapes love for lily was pure and beautiful not creepy and incel like

I could go on... the older I've got, the more I realise that HP is just centrist garbage.

I don't even care if you're a Tolkien fan today, as long as you acknowledge those problems. Likewise, you need to stop pretending the Harry Potter books aren't brim full of JKR's assorted bigotries. More so because the people she's persecuting today can hear you loud and clear.

Look, I get it, I used to be just as hard into Tolkien when I was a kid, and lots of people who predate HP are still in denial about how problematic his stuff was. It's OK that you didn't notice as a kid. Not so much as an educated adult.

3. Harry doesn't take a political stance on anything or enact systemic change despite being the main character. In fact, he becomes a wizard cop for a corrupt government. 4. A black character is named Kingsley Shacklebolt... 5. An East Asian character is named Cho Chang...

JKR has never been a feminist or left wing as evidenced by Harry Potter. 1. Slavery is okay. The one character who tries to abolish slavery is mocked for doing so. 2. Women fall into 3 categories: angel in the house, femme fatale or spinster.

And still we have people today telling us Tolkien was actually a devoted anti-racist anarchist who just happened to write books full of reactionary politics, the divine right of kings and skin tone as a reliable indicator of Evil.

6. The rampant fatphobia 7. Motherhood being held as a woman's ultimate goal 8. Anti semitic characateurs 9. Offensive HIV allegory in the form of Fenrir Greyback 10. Not making dumbledore explicitly gay in CoG and adding a single line in SoD that can be cut

I really wish more millennials would accept that JKR has been like this all along and you just didn't notice because you were kids enjoying a story about boy wizards.

Look there's an edit button. And you can't do anything sneaky because people can view edit history. It shows how many likes and retweets each version got—so if a tweet goes viral and then you edit it to change its meaning, it'll be very obvious to everyone. Very well thought out! twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

TW: These images were passed around a WhatsApp group which included serving and retired Met Police officers. They are not a Police family, they are the UK’s biggest gang. They’ll never have my trust. What Newsnight uncovered is just the tip of the iceberg.

This is the appalling stuff they try to pass off "as just banter". We'll if this is there idea of banter, or a joke. You can only imagine what the serious stuff would be like. Sickening.
