galagazombie posted:I keep hearing people hating on Rowling like she's been saying some abhorrent stuff but my (admittedly lazy) googling didn't turn up anything. The only dumb things I really see are her obviously made up on-the-spot explanations for things like Wizards just taking dumps on the floor. Is it just blowback from how Twitter Liberals try and explain everything in terms of Harry Potter metaphors? She has a grown up thriller series that she writes under a pseudonym and one of those had some really bad and regressive characterization of a trans character.

In addition to all of the above things (TERF, centrist, her obsession with attacking Corbyn) her Harry Potter EU writings have extremely racist stuff about Native Americans, Africans, and Asians that make it clear she did absolutely no research, to the level of the names of the schools aren't even in any actual African or Asian language.

There are many articles about how the Harry Potter books are blindingly racist, classist, and just all around awful, regressive pieces of poo poo written by a woman who has been slowly unmasking herself as a truly miserable and hateful TERF, so yeah I'm gonna hold it against you if you bring her up in a positive light in an essay about how another author is awful and regressive.

got any sevens posted:Did any of the toy story sequels show more Sid? He's an easter egg as the guy who picks up the garbage at the beginning of the film in front of Andy's house, and picks up Lotso at the end of the movie. The only hint of it is that he's wearing the skull shirt.

Toy Story 5 should be about the toys finding Andy as an adult, who is now a psychiatrist and accidentally finds out that his former toys have sentience.

I just don't know what evolutionary step in my biology, what change that happened thousands or possibly even millions of years ago, that ended up making a mostly hairless ape find the phrase "dino damage" so loving funny. But it is! And I do find it so! No matter the context!

The problem with 2021 movies is that they're all delayed because they couldn't finish filming and so who knows if they'll be done in 2021.
