Harry Potter discussion goes here. Books not films, if you want to discuss the films go to /tv/. If you want to discuss the author's statements regarding anything not related to the books, go to /lgbt/ or /pol/ or /b/.

Harry has everything handed to him though, and the "oppressed characters" have no agency anyway, they're just there to help Harry. I'm tired of these overgrown children ascribing meaning to a YA series.

It’s telling of the authors worldview. A rhetorical argument implicitly stating that because the TERFs won’t buy her book (unstated reason is as good as any: market saturation; implying terfs don’t support their ideological allies; implying terfs are poor; not part of the mainstream, this is the most likely albeit loose argument here, hubris of overstating Woke influence)

Because the terfs won’t buy her book (for see above) there is no monetary incentive to “wrongthink”, poking fun at Rowling for not giving into the soulless moral performativity.

As an afterthought, Occam’s razor has a more plausible explanation, note the stars in the tranny faggots eyes, Rowling “wrote a book about overcoming oppression...” on and on projecting the trannies perceived oppression into HP, Rowling is instead isolating her “intended” (per the comic) consumerbase and appealing to Terfs who do not identify with the projected ideals of Harry Potter started in frame one, ergo they won’t buy it: because people only purchase for self validation (once again, per the internal logic of the comic)

I'm going to guess you guys all hate Methods of Rationality because it is, admittedly, very reddit. I always liked because it has fun ideas and fun writing.

Guess what: some dude wrote a sentence-by-sentence seethe-post on an even more autistic forum shitting on HPMOR.

https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/the-wizard-of-woah-and-irrational-methods-of-irrationality.337233/
