MODERATORS
as a transfem academic who enjoyed HPMoR, I dislike JKR's Harry Potter series because it's poorly written and is not critical enough of the ethical problems it contains
Oh you mean the fascistic nightmare world where it turns out the only problem is bad actors, not the fact that it's systemically rotten to the core?
Motherfucker becomes a cop ffs
I mean, both worlds are rotten to the core, it's just that HPMoR is properly critical of the problems therein. Only one of the two worlds has the main character working hard to dismantle the institutional racism he was presented with.
Oh fuck me, sorry I read that as MMO. No, methods of rationality was good.
It isn't critical of its ethical problems at all. It mostly doesn't even acknowledge them.
did you read HP: methods of rationality? the one where Harry Potter beheads Lucius Malfoy because of ethical motivations?
Not trying to hate on Harry Potter fans, but the characters just seem so one dimensional to me. It’s a neat setting which really speaks to the cozy part of my brain, but I never noticed enough depth in it to get why it has so many fans.
