You mean the world where slaves like to be slaves and trying to release them is wrong, apartheid is right because the other sentient people look different, the bankers are antisemitic stereotypes and the main character becomes a literal cop enforcing all this?

It's really a magical world /s

If they're a reader of fanfiction that is typically one of the major changes to the story that's done. Fanfiction has effectively rewritten the entire series to be more palatable at this point. Bonus points that you can read it without giving Rowling any money too.

If the fanbase needs to rewrite the entire series to be "more palatable" that might indicate something about the series itself.

Might be time for people to just move on to a different series.

That's a tall order with how most people act. Disney vibes anyone? There were few things that could capture a whole generation's imagination so strongly, and people want to bond over it. My stance is taking what you like and making new things is how we get new series's, and fanfic has it's place in that.

can you please share where can I read that fanfic? :)

None of that is correct.

  • The slave thing was about brainwashing and exploitation, and how it's wrong.
  • I don't know what you're referring to with the apartheid thing.
  • The goblins are antisemitic because they have big noses? That's been a staple of goblin anatomy since they were created.
  • The main character becomes an anti dark sorcerer guy, like counterterrorism, so nothing to do with enforcing all that gubbins anyway.

Oh, and thanks for the '/s'. You know, otherwise I really would've thought you were giving it a compliment after a full paragraph of invective.

apartheid is right because the other sentient people look different

This is what the fucking bad guys believe, it's not like the books are advocating for apartheid. What the hell kind of criticism is this.

What species are allowed to use a wand and attend Hogwarts?

[-] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

What other species has wizards?

[-] jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

At least goblins and giants and the wand ban is broad enough to imply more.
