Animorphs was written mostly by a pro trans rights anti war lady who responded to complaints the series ended with the start of a new war with "yeah that's how war works, remember that when you're old enough to vote"

Those books WHIP

To be fair to Vanilla Ice, instead of spending his one hit wonder money recklessly like a certain MC, he put it into real estate and learning how to be a general contractor. His DIY Network show had like 9 seasons and even won some awards. Yeah, he'll forever be the white joke rapper, but he is a very accomplished carpenter and savvy real estate investor.

So he only spent a calculated, discretionary amount when he was trying to kill himself with drugs?

I watched an episode of some 90's reality show he was on with ron jeremy and a few other "celebrities". they all lived in a house together. they all went to work in a restaurant and gary coleman came in. the entire episode vanilla ice is talking about how "vanilla ice is dead" and "it's v-ice now" and all about how the past is gone, he's a different person, stop calling him "vanilla" blah blah blah. the second gary coleman came in he started screaming at him to say "whachu talkin' 'bout, willis?" just shouting for him to do it over and over. he eventually picked gary coleman up, against his wishes, and physically carried him like a football to the front of the restaurant to get him to do it.
he was 19 when he made "cool as ice" and this was 10 years later.

this is obvious from the way hermione is written, but the moral of her struggles is that some parts of the system are unchangeable and what may seem bad on the surface is actually good for society at large. so that little side plot is really about an ideological youth learning that just because slavery seems bad, doesnt mean its right to try to force the slaves from their bondage against their will. its a heinous message, that u shouldnt try to improve peoples lives if it means changing the way they live

Once she freed the house elf slaves they went back to working for their masters for free, because that is their nature. So why try to make a better world for anyone?

I forget who wrote it but there was a great breakdown of Harry Potter on these dead gay forums as the ultimate neolib fantasy. The wizard world leaders ignore a dangerous existential threat until its far too late to handle, trying to keep it under the rug even as Voldemort is openly murdering people in public. Harry defeats Voldemort not by being better at magic, or more clever; Voldemort accidentally defeats himself via a technicality in the rules of magic that everyone forgot about. Harry then fulfills his destiny by becoming an FBI agent wizard.

Rowling is a classic Blairite Labour supporter who'd support either the Tories or Lib Dems over a left-wing Labour party but prefers a centre-right Labour party above anything else. This has led her to proclaiming that useless idiots like Jim Murphy were actually great leaders of Scottish Labour, etc.
