I struggle to imagine JK Rowling resisting the rise of the Nazis if she was a prominent figure during that time.

She would be far more likely to write an offshoot Harry Potter book about a nice Hitler Youth Camp where a noble and pure blonde hair blued eyed boy took the heroic choice of not attending Wizard School even though he was a wizard in order to support his country and join the Hitler Youth. Antics ensue in this fun and lighthearted romp through racial purity after a secret cabal of jews infilitrate Hogwarts to sabotage it and the perfect white boy must save the Wizard School with his newly found friends!

Oh she's definitely going to be one of Hitler's top propagandists.

[–] ratsnake@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Nah, her hate speech isn't even good.

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 2 points 18 minutes ago

Hitler's propagandists weren't that great either, most of them

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 52 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

She literally wrote a plot line in Fantastic Beasts about how it would be bad for wizards to stop the Nazis when they had the chance.

Grindelwald predicted another world war, and was attempting to rally wizards to abandon their no-intervention stance and prevent the war before it happened. Literally showed an image of the Holocaust and said he wanted to stop it. The "good guys" then stopped him.

[–] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 18 points 16 hours ago

Yeah, I literally commented about this like yesterday. For more reasons why she sucks ass, check out Shaun's video on Harry Potter

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 17 points 18 hours ago

Fascists are suffocatingly predictable lol

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 18 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

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?

[–] ratsnake@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 29 minutes ago (1 children)

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

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 18 minutes ago (1 children)

Don't forget a spoiled nepo baby!

[–] ratsnake@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 12 minutes ago

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

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 17 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Media literacy is not a strong suit for conservatives, even when it is their own media it seems.

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 19 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] evidences@lemmy.world 13 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah especially the sequels, he wrote two further books with Ender that the main message is genocide is bad, like really really bad.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Yeah I just can't with his books or media for the same reasons that people do with JKR.

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 72 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (3 children)

She literally allies herself with Nazis because they share her TERF beliefs. In my book, if your friends are Nazis, you’re a Nazi.

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 45 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

if your friends with Nazis, you’re a Nazi.

Wow! Such a slippery slope! What about the exclusive private box I use to watch Sports Team that I have access to because I happen to know a Nazi who is generous?

You are going to probably scream I AM the Nazi now when all I do is go to cocktail parties with them and honestly I don't even talk to them about that stuff I am there for business deals, what is this moral panic about?

Look don't get mad I am just trying to feed my family....

...of diverse financial investments.

[–] JamieDub86@piefed.social 28 points 19 hours ago

"If 9 people sit at a table with 1 Nazi, youve got 10 Nazis". Not sure who I'm quoting.

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 10 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

In my book, if your friends are Nazis, you’re a Nazi.

In this context, sure. But it's also valuable to keep in touch with such people because once all bridges are burned, there is no way back. This is for people you knew before. JK is seeking out contact with them so it's a different story.

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I mean if someone has the energy for that, all the more power to them. I grew up with an abusive mother who went all in on q-anon Nazi bullshit and I legitimately just don’t have patience for people who choose such a hateful path. She will never change, and if for some reason she would, I won’t be there.

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 hours ago

Totally legitimate. I'm thankfully not in the situation but some people handle it by not talking about politics while making their position clear. This still isn't easy and not for everyone. I'm sorry to hear you lost your mother.

Closest I've ever come was a guy I had loose contact with who called my keffiyeh a "terrorist scarf" and bombarded me with racist and islamophobic BS until I said "just stop it" and left and never talked to him again. I don't feel close enough to say I burned a bridge and certainly not the last one but I'm not in a position to judge.

Very easy to imagine Rowling as a British Nationalist who would say we need to kill all the Nazis and then say we need to kill all the Russians and Kenyans and Indian nationalists and anyone else who crosses the UK.

I could see her doing the "Hilter and Gandhi both need to die" speech.

She's a British supremacist. The only people who get to do fascism are the ones working out of an office in London.

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 13 points 20 hours ago

Well yeah but that is just being a Nazi while being on a different team superficially, you are still a Nazi!

[–] lime@feddit.nu 23 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

the boy in the striped robes

[–] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 15 points 20 hours ago

His mum gave him that armband.

[–] sepiroth154@feddit.nl 27 points 20 hours ago

Probably got it from Google. They dox you without any issues.

[–] 13igTyme@piefed.social 25 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

The fuck is their legal team gonna do?

[–] JakenVeina@midwest.social 40 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Threaten to overwhelm you, on account of being bigger than you.

[–] 13igTyme@piefed.social 27 points 19 hours ago

Unless I'm being served, which has to be done in person, then I would just ignore it. Cease and desist doesn't apply. Then if I get served, I'd be protected by satire laws.

Don't let these Nazi wanna be's bully you.

[–] blinfabian@feddit.nl 10 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

why do they have the same chin? coincidence? or is it real? 🤯

[–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 9 hours ago

You can tell it's real by the masculine head shape. We can always tell. 🧐

[–] EatMyPixelDust@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Please tell me this is an April fool's joke

[–] Metostopholes@midwest.social 7 points 9 hours ago

Nope. It shows up on a web search, but the account has been suspended. Fuck twitter.
