Funny thing is, the two-part movie they made of the first two books very blatantly saw that too, because they tried to make the wizard school scenes into Hogwarts Lite. Probably my favorite part is when notHermione saves notDumbledore from notMalfoy's attempt to take over the school, none of which came even close to happening in the book.

The main issue with that movie is how they made everyone white, but the blatant disregard for the rest of the source material is almost comical. If you haven't seen it, it's almost worth it for Tenar, the cheerful elementary school teacher of the Atuan priestesses of light and friendship.

I can't find it, but wasn't there some post about cats being part of an anti-white conspiracy, because women would get cats instead of babies? I think they were referred to as "the purring jew", but thread search yields nothing.

I'm genuinely surprised it's not even more minority/rainbow-friendly similarly to sports like roller derby given its reliance on drama, outlandish stage personas, and unbridled camp.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sputnik_Monroe posted:

In 1957, while driving to a wrestling show in Alabama, Monroe became tired and invited a black hitchhiker he met at a gas station to take the wheel. Upon arriving at the arena, Monroe placed his arm around the man, which drew a chorus of boos and insults from the white crowd; in response to this Monroe kissed the man on the cheek.[4] Monroe would later use this underlying racism as a promotional tactic and become a noteworthy figure in Memphis cultural history. During a period where legal segregation was the norm at public events, and during a general decline in the popularity of professional wrestling, Monroe recognized that the segregated wrestling shows (whites sat in floor seats while blacks were required to sit in the balcony)[5][6] were not properly marketing to black fans. The witty, flamboyant Monroe began dressing up in a purple gown and carrying a diamond tipped cane and drinking in traditionally black bars in the black area of Memphis, where he would openly socialize with black patrons and hand out tickets to his wrestling shows.[4] As a result of this, he was frequently arrested by police on a variety of vague, trumped up charges, such as mopery.[4] In each case, he would then hire a black attorney and appear in court, pay a small fine, and immediately resume the behavior that resulted in his prior arrests. Due to this, and in spite of the fact that he was a heel at the time, his popularity soared among the black community. At his shows, although floor seats in arenas would be half empty with white patrons, the balcony would be packed to capacity with black patrons with many others unable to enter due to the balcony selling out.[7]

Like, almost no one responding hatefully to the original tweet thinks it's a racist tweet, they are using it as a tool to falsely paint the new Twitter president as being racist against whites. Which is loving funny as hell because he's currently the CTO of Twitter, so he's definitely evil in a bunch of other ways.

Cho Chang is supposed to be Chinese and Chang is indeed a valid surname, it's just her given name that's dumb because it's also a surname. At least name her after a flower or something.

This is why it is all fake.

Misogyny and gay-bashing is definitely a 2000s thing but this wasn’t a case of being ignorant.

Anyways, I would accept Paris Hilton’s machinations over, say, Trump or Musk any day.
