Things in Starkid musicals that never fail to make me laugh [x]: A Very Potter Musical

Eri convinta di non essere abbastanza. Abbastanza intelligente, abbastanza interessante, abbastanza bella… E se non ami prima te stessa, piccola, non puoi amare nessuno e, nessuno, potrà mai amarti davvero. A parte me, che ti amo anche quando non ti ami, che credo in te anche quando non lo fai tu per prima. Però, ecco, non permettere mai a nessuno di mettere in dubbio quello che hai dentro, tu sei molto di più di una definizione! Tu sei i tuoi sogni. Tu sei la tua luce. E io sono qui, per tutte le volte che non riuscirai a sorridere. Per tutte le volte che non riuscirai a dormire. Per tutte le volte che avrai bisogno di perderti, e poi di ritrovarti. E poi di perderti ancora, in un abbraccio lunghissimo. In un abbraccio infinito. In cui non perderti più.

Davanti agli occhi, Roberto Emanuelli

Hermione: Oh, screw beautiful. I'm brilliant. If you want to appease me, compliment my brain.

No but when JKR was being casually antisemitic on twitter and homophobic with her reveal that lycanthopy was an AIDS allegory, how was that not the creator of a bigoted media coming through in the media she produced? How do you separate the content from the creator when the creator defends her choice to include racist, antisemetic, homophobic and transphobic content in her media? Like you hp fans are doing gymnastics to justify your love for a franchise that at its core has always been flawed and you just shrug that off. You just hand-wave it away and say "separate the art from the artist" but the art is flawed and the artist has defended those flaws. So where does the separation happen when the artist admits to purposely being cruel?

Not a single HP fan can answer this btw because you'll all circle back to "B-b-b-but the art can be sEpArAtEd". None of you have any argument that deals in real life material affects.

The facts are that the HP series is riddled with bigotry and JKR has fought tooth and nail to justify that bigotry. JKR is a Terf (trans exclusionary radical feminist) and has included transmisogyny and casual transphobia in the books since the first book. JKR has taken her fame (from continued public support of HP) and hatred of trans women and used it to get laws in the UK passed that endanger the lives of trans people, specifically trans women and tried to get laws passed in the US. JKR has also written a new violently transmisogynistic book.

No matter how much you try to separate a series filled with bigotry from the bigot that wrote it, you're going to fail. And you want to know why? Because art does not spawn from no where. Art is not made in a vacuum. Art is not some mystical power that comes to some people in the night. Art is a product of the people that create it and if the person who creates the art is a bigot that bigotry with always shine through. People create based on what they know and what they believe to be true.
