Pictured: Millennials talking about the silly wizard power fantasy like it's Shakespeare. Harry Potter truly is to Generation Y as Star Wars was to Generation X. It reminds them of a "better time" when they could remain ignorant of all the horrible things happening in the world (paid for by their tax money).
Y'know, a part of me was hoping that the "intense sadness" OP was experiencing would have to do with the real, flesh and blood, trans people that JKR has dedicated her life to harming. That on some level, these people would feel conflicted about their nostalgia and its current material harms.
But no... Instead I have to hear this 35 year old whinge about how ancient he is (capitalism's youth obsession is genuinely harmful, holy shit), and will surely turn to dust at any moment, because he watched a trailer for a shitty TV show, made by a bigot, and cried about it.
They start grooming kids to become consoomers knowing that they'll get their parents to buy them useless shit. When they age up, they're marketed relentlessly because they have disposable income. And when they get even older, they play up insecurities about how fucking old they are that can only be filled with more useless shit from their childhood.
