hi! it's been so long since i've posted / used tumblr but i just wanted to make clear that i do not support jk's transphobia and due to this + outgrowing the fandom/franchise i haven't seen anything apart of the wizarding world in a very long time. while the og hp books and films meant a lot to me growing up i am disgusted and disappointed in jk. i'm very thankful for the community and friends this fandom gave me though, i cannot express my appreciation enough :)
This is long overdue bc I got 1k around the time of my birthday but thank you all so much!! Thanks to everyone who’s stuck by me through my fandom changes all the way from Mayaandlucas to now! I’m probably missing a few but eh. Also thanks to everyone who follows my main blog Mqrlenemckinnon! I love you all so much you mean everything to to!
So now here are the wonderful people I follow that I adore with all my heart!

There’s definitely more but I have a headache I’m so sorry if I missed you but I definitely still love you!!
when you’re angry about cho chang’s name, please be mindful that she is not the only canon asian character of hp. padma and parvati patil are southeast asian. their names aren’t the best either, but don’t erase them when speaking out against jk rowling!
you are absolutely correct that we need to remember padma and pavarti!!
they are of indian descent, so they would be south asian, but it is so important that we remember all of these character of color who were wronged by the author

ASTORIA — “star-maiden”
i'll also say there is a theory cho chang was chosen because it sounds similar to melancholy in mandarin 愁肠 (chóucháng) which is aligned with the poetic way a lot of chinese authors find double meanings in similar sounding words/characters (because it's very common in chinese to find double meaning) but i don't give ms rowling credit for that. i think it was completely accidental. still it's important to understand culture/language we want to defend as much as possible. thank you for listening
okay, thank you for elaborating! all of your messages are actually pretty inciteful, though i must agree that i’m sure it was completely accidental. i understand what you mean by equivocating cho chang to “ching chong” being harmful now, and though her name is actually legit and has some kind of meaning, since we both agree that rowling didn’t seem to put much thought into the name that it still could be seen as harmful as well? i’ve also been told about the anglicization from friends who are chinese, but they always felt it was an afterthought. something that saved jk’s ass from further scrutiny. to them it felt like she chose a very basic “asian sounding” name and then all the meaning and backstory behind it was coincidental. but i suppose there’s no real way to prove that! there’s many other things to criticize her on anyways. i appreciated this discussion! i’ll reevaluate what i say about cho chang now. thank you for taking the time to talk to me about it

We — Narcissa and I — have never set eyes on our sister since she married the Mudblood.
Cho Changs name is actually not offensive. Cho means autumn and it's actually a very popular baby name throughout the last 50 years
i’m not gonna tell you you’re wrong since that’s your opinion but in my own experience as an asian person and in talking with every single chinese person and other asian person i know about cho chang they’ve always had a problem with her name. sure it could mean autumn but how is that relevant to her character at all. i tried to look for if she was maybe born in the fall but there doesn’t seem to be any information on that either. when jk comes up w names for her white characters they’re all unique (hermione granger, nymphadora tonks) and they have meaning with their character (i.e. an obvious example being remus lupin translating to moon moon or whatever) why is it that cho chang or padma & parvati patil get the most popular names of the last 50 years 😭 but also on that note could u maybe site me where you saw that cho was a popular name? everywhere i look has said that cho is a korean surname (or last name) and one other site said that it’s of japanese origin. yeah, not trying to argue with you but im genuinely curious

don’t be fooled this is a practically inactive harry potter stan account but fuck jk rowling <3 thanks for making my representation a girl named cho chang bitch
Pretty wild that Daniel Radcliffe wasn’t even a teenager when he met JKR and he’s so quickly become the progressive legend that she has always imagined herself to be

HELLO, DARKNESS, MY OLD FRIEND—it lingered at the edges of his mind, just shy of pulling him under but almost refusing to take him. To grant him the mercy of nothingness for however long the sandman permitted it. To leave him to his eternal rest, far beyond the painful influence of depression and guilt. — excerpt taken from chapter 3 of BOUND BY A TIMELESS CODE.
