#i mean honestly she died as a role model when she appropriated native culture for her shitty american school#and when she set a story in 1920s harlem and had ONE SINGLE VERY MINOR BLACK CHARACTER#but yeah this also
#and then blocked native people on Twitter for criticizing her appropriation#in comparison to Riordan who when criticized about using the phrase spirit animal#immediately contacted his editor and publisher and had it changed#and when another native blogger critiqued his portrayal of a native character#he apologized and said he would tryand do better#so basically that’s how you author Joanna
Yeah the appropriating Native American culture was when she stopped being a role model for me as well.
Rowling stopped being a role model for me the moment I realised all of the above but also, the fact that her entire magical world is ableist as hell, she alluded that Lycanthropy is like HIV and then makes Lupin straight, implies that Greyback is a child molester who gives kids HIV (playing into that trope of Gays being r*pists and child molesters) with no commentary, made Dumbledore gay retrospectively, and gave Snape this back story that supposedly justified his truly shitty behaviour with Harry and every other kid he’d bullied and abused his authority with.
Like, honestly, fuck that shit.
