Cope + Seethe + Potterheads stay losing


Average potterhead level of reading comprehension.
I was responding specifically to a claim that JKR is “one of the greats” partly on the basis of her worldbuilding by pointing to a clear example of abysmal worldbuilding she’s done…? If the worldbuilding were really that brilliant, you’d expect some of the newer works set in the wizarding world to receive better than a lukewarm reception. Even before she outed herself as a fascist piece of shit nobody was tripping over themselves to catch Fantastic Beasts, and the general consensus was that her tweets about potter lore were pretty embarrassing.
And yeah, I’ll stand by my claim that her works are mediocre on their own merits (or rather, the lack thereof) and that there’s no shortage of better written material by others in the genre for which she’s famous. Some of these other authors are mentioned in this very thread.
We’re discussing her qualities as an author here, this isn’t about my hatred for her as a person, you’re the one who brought that up. You are letting your nostalgia for an IP’s long-past glory days obscure the objectivity behind the comments you are relying to.


Woah there buddy, do you know how many French cave dwellers you just pissed off rn??


Is this bait or are you fr rn??? Quit glazing lmao, her works are mid at best and there’s so many better authors (mentioned in this thread so you don’t even have legitimate claim to ignorance) to whom you’re doing a massive disservice by calling JKR “one of the greats.”
Bro really thinks twitter posts about how wizards didn’t know about plumbing centuries after the technology existed and would instead shit on the floor is somehow “fantastic” worldbuilding lmfao 💀


I really liked her Dragon Rider as a kid


This has been living rent-free in my head since I started reading it a month ago, and now I’m rereading it already.


Dear heavens, no! Miss me with that masculine-as-default bullshit


ngl, Trump falling for the new demsoc mayor of NYC’s rizz was not on my 2025 bingo


You’re doing the thing in the post tbh.


giwtwm
Fr… I visited my ex last weekend for the first time since I broke up with her six months ago, and her cat spent all afternoon glued to me. At one point, he was just rolling around in my lap to get his scent all over me, so he clearly missed me quite a lot and still thinks of me as his human.

You picked the right instance, friend.


Yeah, this is what I’m most looking forward to in the immediate sense tbh. It’ll be nice to play HLA without crashing every time it loads a new level as it currrently does for me in SteamVR (Monado doesn’t have this issue, but I can’t use my left-handed controls without Steam input :-|)


Yeah sure I love their hardware and contributions to software, but I’d say profiteering off of children gambling for over 10 years is pretty ghoulish.


Oh shit he’s homophobic?


Is it possible? Sure, I guess.
Advisable? AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAH no.


That’s just like, your opinion, man.


C’mon, at least draw on a smile, stick on some googly eyes, trim off a bit of your pubes and paste them on styled as muttonchops…
bro you’ve been sealioning this whole time while yourself absolutely failing to bring any facts to the table to help you argue your point, there’s absolutely no benefit to engaging you in good faith. Mald harder.
