People are still melting down about my post from yesterday, which is kind of incredible. Here’s my favorite one, which you’ll have to remember that I was talking about a poll of if Harry Potter is for children or adults to really appreciate.

i thought it was lowkey kinda bad when you said trans people had to throw away their blahaj by midnight or 10 skydiving babies would start dying every minute

I get what you mean by this but I don't like the wording of "casting off Childish Things", it's a bit too close to the crank shit you get from boomers where the moment you turn 20 you can't do anything but watch CSI and suddenly get into golf for me.

I genuinely don't know what context this information is supposed to give to me.

I think the idea is that use of a quotation from a much quoted source doesn’t actually provide much of an insight into the position of the speaker, this particular quote is extremely common at weddings, for example

I feel like this doesn't work in this context because this specific Bible quote is indistinguishable from Tumblr speak and this discourse is also in distinguishable from discourse you would see on Tumblr.

It doesn't really matter if the quotation means much you first have to recognize it as one.

Maybe you'd have recognized an extremely common 2000 year old quote if you read something other than media For Babies which is what we're trying to tell you to do

No, it's just that I'm not religious so I don't recognize it as a Bible quote. I really don't understand why this is being used as a metric for this. If I quoted faust at you you probably wouldn't recognize it either but I wouldn't use that to assert that you only read young adult novels.

You guys seem to think that pattern recognition is a valid metric for identifying the media someone consumes which is fucking stupid

I’m also not religious but am passingly familiar with one of the key underpinnings of Western literature

I'm gonna be real this whole discussion is kind of reafirming my first take that you guys are just being weird boomers about this instead of having actual valid reasons for disliking the fact that a bunch of adults have made kids media one of their personality traits

Sorry big dog but people going "you shouldn't make your personality based on stuff for kids" is something that comes up every few months Like Clockwork on Tumblr. We simply come from different societal contexts when it comes to this and that's the first thing I read into this.

The other day I was thinking about how this simile is the Biblical version of "the sky above the port was the color of television tuned to a dead channel", in that technological changes have obscured the original, literal meaning. "Mirror image" means "exact duplicate" to us!

I took issue with your post in some ways we don't need to start relitigating again, but trying to indict you for transphobia over it is a bit much.

Being... against... Harry Potter is... anti-trans? I thought the most popular reductive take was like... the other way around

The idea seems to be that disliking Harry Potter for reasons other than JKR's bigotry means you can't also dislike her bigotry? It makes no sense when stated like that but it seems to be so. I've personally never cared for it myself and I'm pretty sure I'm not transphobic?
