I've seen some really hostile posts on my dash tonight so I wanna say something probably unpopular, but I feel like it needs to be laid out.

I want to get that kneejerk defensiveness out of the way and say it: liking the Harry Potter books as a child doesn't make you evil or bad.

These were children's books, made for children. There's a reason these books were immensely popular, spawned at least eleven movies, took over theme parks, etc. They addressed some incredibly relevant themes that all children want to see themselves the heroes of. The characters felt real children who dealt with social rifts as well as the fantastical fight against evil.

The part where it's a problem becomes the following facts that:

1) JKR used plenty of insulting tropes and allusions, including but not limited to antisemitic, transphobic, homophobic, and racist. Refusing to confront these as an adult with better critical thinking skills is where a lot of problems begin. (JKR has refused to discuss/ examine any of these in even a cursory "well I didn't realize/intend that" manner.)

2) the popularity of HP has given JKR a massive platform, which

3) She is actively using to not just spread hate and prejudice but outright Holocaust denial, as well as influencing legislature against transgender people.

4) She considers every single person who is still a fan of Harry Potter to agree with her views. Transphobes especially have latched onto the series.

These are the facts. It's absolutely rancid that the author of such a monumental book series has been radicalized into being such a bigot. The end result is that now this incredibly popular franchise is deeply associated with transphobia and a plethora of other hateful ideas.

You bought some HP merch in the past? Well, it's not like you can take back your money, but what you can do is discard it and find how you can be an ally to trans people in your community. The book/movie series meant a lot to you as a child? I get it, because I was the same, and it might be hard to let go, but it's now playing a part in the real-life harm of thousands of people.

But if you choose to consider all of these facts and continue being a fan of her/HP content, then you are a part of the problem.

Fuck JKR.

“It’s necessary for Palestinians to die because otherwise Israelis would never be able to exterminate Hamas!” “Iraqi citizens had to die because the US had to retaliate for the Iran-backed drone attack!” When will you learn that Arab people are not just collateral fucking damage. When will you learn they are not a means to an end. When will you stop dehumanizing Arab people in your endless attempts to justify the mindless slaughter that has been taking place for years, but which has intensified beyond belief the last four months. Why do you need to be told to treat Arab people like they’re human. Why do you need to be told this. Why do you need to be told.

re: this post from @selfshipping-haven -- (didn't want to derail accidentally)

i don't want to start anything, i'm just sharing my thoughts. but truthfully: as someone who's been in the community since late 2018, it used to be a lot more of a community. people did interact with each other a lot more. we were happy to. i remember how it was. it was a lot smaller, too. so taking sheer numbers into account, it isn't even hard to find active self shippers to interact with. in fact, it is much easier.

i think a lot of the reason people don't interact is mostly vibes based ... i've seen a lot of people say it feels like walking on eggshells around here. i think that comes into account. but the only way to combat this is to simply, and i'm not kidding, give people more grace. just BE NICE. this goes for so many things. a lot of people, especially online, have become passively cruel, and have normalized this behavior. this kind of "get them before they get me" mentality is so prevalent now. people so protective of the self that you don't let anyone in, even to say "hello," whether from anger or fear. if you want community, you have to break out of that. i understand where a lot of you are coming from. but you'll find your people. be the change you want to see. seriously.

we should be on each other's side. think of all the places you can really go and talk about self shipping without being lambasted as "creepy" (which is such an overused term for NORMAL SOCIAL BEHAVIOR. which is also an issue in this i believe) or "mentally ill." think about it. hardly ANYWHERE. because people from ye olden days of self ship tumblr, like me and other bloggers, helped make this space welcoming. we also didn't wait for others to create what we wanted. we just went out and did it post-by-post. and i just don't see the same energy across the board anymore

we are pretty much the only ones who want to hear each other. so listen with an open heart

Famed manga creator Akira Toriyama has passed away on March 1, 2024 at age 68 due to acute subdural hematoma.

Toriyama began his first serialized manga, Dr. Slump, in 1980, and it inspired two television anime and multiple films. Toriyama followed it up with Dragon Ball, which ran from 1984 to 1995, and is still inspiring manga and anime sequels and spinoffs today. The manga's Dragon Ball anime adaptation, its sequel Dragon Ball Z, and its other numerous sequels and anime films are equally as well-known as the manga, and its hero Goku has become a character known throughout the world.

Toriyama is also well-known as the character designer for the Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, and Blue Dragon games.

Most recently, Toriyama was working closely with the production for the Dragon Ball Daima anime series, the most recent anime series based on Dragon Ball, and is credited for the new anime's story and character designs.
