She wrote a book. Everyone rejected it. But she thought it still makes sense, so she kept sending the script to publishers.

One dude, the 10th publisher, took it home with him, but had just read the first few pages and wanted to throw it away. He left the script in the kitchen. His 11yr old daughter was around. He and his wife went out for dinner with friends. When they came back at midnight, they though everyone was sleeping... but there was a light still. A small light, a hidden light... from the room of their 11yr old daughter. She had taken the script and was on page 96 already. When her worried parents asked what she was doing, she said "reading Harry Potter, it is the best book she has ever had in her hands". So her father published the book and printed like 800 copies, with at first were not well liked. But slowly, word spread, and the nerds of the Earth loved it. And a franchise similar to Star Wars was born.

I've also noticed that pretty much every girl is into harry potter. They like to listen to it before sleep, watch movies or make up kink scenarios. Apparently many have a thing for Snape dominating them as Hermione.

I have never had a gf or had sex. I rarely interact with women in real life. I've casually browsed various anime forums, discords and anime threads and sub-forums on 4chan. Based on the female posts in those places, I'm convinced 100% of women want to be raped.

This is very puzzling, considering all the outrage about rape in public media.

most of them like being dominated by someone they are intimidated by. Which is often someone they see superior in strength, size, intellect, financial power (this is the truth why employers have a hard time doing equal pay), dress, act, high status job etc.

From experience I can say that you can't generalize but you can definitely say what a majority of a group is attracted to. Usually the ones that tend to deviate have some other underlying character issues.

There is a part where de Beauvoir (ironically the famous feminist) describes in her book what she considers to be manly. Where she describes that women aren't necessarily attracted to men, but to the ideals of men. Seeing men as gods. (I don't remember the exact passage otherwise I would have posted it).

They definitely play with the idea of rape as a fantasy and I've heard from many that they fantasize about it when they're at their doctors/physiotherapists. But they still won't let that old dude hit, they want to roleplay rape with chad if anything.

It's a brilliant story really. I'm not a female or a gay zoomer but I still appreciate the harry potter saga. I like it better than lord of the rings altho I'm prolly the only person over the age of 25 that thinks this way. Also JK doesn't agree men than cut their dicks off are women which used to be logical but now it's based since the left hates her now while loving her franchise lol

No I agree, I respect lotr for the influence it had but it never appealed to me in a deep way, and the fact it's archetypes have been reused to death for the last 100 years makes them seem bland now.

Imagine thinking that after thousands of years of writing fiction humanity never created a work that captures the "hero's journey" as perfectly as HARRY POTTER. It's popular because it's a book about posh huwhite school aimed at poorfags who will never get to attend a posh huwhite school. Magic is only there to make those poorfags less aware of what the book is really about, you don't want poorfags actually realizing their perfect "fantasy" is just rich people's reality.

MI6 backed her. The CIA pushed them out of Hollywood (movies) and Burbank (porn) so they tried their hand at Brit/pub/lishing.

Rowling is Grand Orient (freemasons for wahmen) so has fairly deep knowledge of occulted subjects. MI6 gave her the basic plot and she did the filler.
