I mean, the Malfoys were literal nazis, and she made them clearly the bad guys in her books. Where was the breakdown in her self-awareness that led her down the "racial purity" rabbit hole herself?
Harry names one of his kids after Draco because Draco does one decent thing at the end of book 7 and that is enough to make him no longer be a reprehensible, racist fuckwad in the eyes of J.K. and a lot of her audience
Don't forget a spoiled nepo baby!
the whole premise of HP is "what if an orphan living in an abusive household could become a spoiled nepobaby" so i'm not sure JK even thinks of those things as bad
Media literacy is not a strong suit for conservatives, even when it is their own media it seems.
Reminds me of Orson Scott Card and Ender's Game. Another person whose political beliefs seem so antithetical to key messages conveyed by their book.
Yeah especially the sequels, he wrote two further books with Ender that the main message is genocide is bad, like really really bad.
Yeah I just can't with his books or media for the same reasons that people do with JKR.
