Am i missing something or are you just desperate to defend the claim that women can nothing wrong and men are always the baddies

Not arguing, just an observation / reaction. I've learned that it usually does little good to discuss evidence and reason with people who hold extreme beliefs. The information is out there and available, but most of the time just discarded because it doesnt fit into their narrative. I wish you the best of luck with your propaganda beliefs.

it's not a fair comparison, in the sense that the religions people tens to not believe in are those with disputable claims in a book dictated by god.
Caims such as simulation theory or unspecified god without evidence for or against it make way more sense than major deistic religions. And again, that's not to say it's true, its just significantly more likely to be accurate.

This post is retarded but there is a nice middleground that works well for us europeans as well. There are more options than the extremes.

Harry's whole life and the plot.
No, you see that because it's what you want to see. She's nuts but not pro slavery, and I think thats obvious to most readers. Not so much a persecution fetish, more preemptively compiling the type of stuff someone with your worldview might say.
I just try to see the nuance in things rather than making everything black and white. Unfortunately we live in a world of extremes now and this "problematic" shit is one side of it that ticks me off. The "muh libtards" gang makes just as little sense. End of the day, im probably just using you to vent, so thanks for listening.

Well that's kinda my point though. If you look at it trying to find things to be offended about, you'll find them. They are non-human creatures, hermione essentially tries to force her morals on them despite their entire being wanting this lifestyle. This isn't a case of poor elves being forced into slavery, in the context of this world, this is what they are and what they want.

It's not saying slavery is a good thing, or a bad thing, but forcing beings to do things to fit your worldview is more immoral than letting it be. Granted, slavery is not quite the best method to make that point. But if you cannot accept a reality within a story without casting some real world agenda on it, you're gonna have a bad time. I do find it interesting that creatures being themselves is more problematic than all of the murder, torture, abuse and pain the characters experience.
But yeah, i can see why at first sight, someone might side with hermione if they don't think about it in the context of the story world. I'm also not saying this is Rowling's perspective, id rather avoid her as a person. But i do like the series, despite the many story inconsistencies, which frankly are a much larger problem with enjoying the stories than some wrongthink.

I think many of the best stories make you see the world differently. I've read many books by authors with horrible worldviews, but because i enjoy getting many perspectives on the world, as long as the story gives something to think about, im happy with it.

In conclusion: im a white male slave apologist and i should be cancelled. oh and i probably support trump too. i must be really dumb and brainwashed if i enjoy a book about wizards with a character named "Cho Chang" or whatever else is in your videos.

Can't find a solution without first pointing out and understanding the problem.
