Cope + Seethe + Potterheads stay losing


Average potterhead level of reading comprehension.
I was responding specifically to a claim that JKR is “one of the greats” partly on the basis of her worldbuilding by pointing to a clear example of abysmal worldbuilding she’s done…? If the worldbuilding were really that brilliant, you’d expect some of the newer works set in the wizarding world to receive better than a lukewarm reception. Even before she outed herself as a fascist piece of shit nobody was tripping over themselves to catch Fantastic Beasts, and the general consensus was that her tweets about potter lore were pretty embarrassing.
And yeah, I’ll stand by my claim that her works are mediocre on their own merits (or rather, the lack thereof) and that there’s no shortage of better written material by others in the genre for which she’s famous. Some of these other authors are mentioned in this very thread.
We’re discussing her qualities as an author here, this isn’t about my hatred for her as a person, you’re the one who brought that up. You are letting your nostalgia for an IP’s long-past glory days obscure the objectivity behind the comments you are relying to.


Woah there buddy, do you know how many French cave dwellers you just pissed off rn??


Is this bait or are you fr rn??? Quit glazing lmao, her works are mid at best and there’s so many better authors (mentioned in this thread so you don’t even have legitimate claim to ignorance) to whom you’re doing a massive disservice by calling JKR “one of the greats.”
Bro really thinks twitter posts about how wizards didn’t know about plumbing centuries after the technology existed and would instead shit on the floor is somehow “fantastic” worldbuilding lmfao 💀


I really liked her Dragon Rider as a kid


This has been living rent-free in my head since I started reading it a month ago, and now I’m rereading it already.


You’re doing the thing in the post tbh.


Is it possible? Sure, I guess.
Advisable? AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAH no.


Schreitet wohl!


Commissioner Gordon is the only good cop.
This is Montoya slander.


Actors looking directly into the camera outside of pov shots… like c’mon, who tf wants a fourth wall break in this sort of material?
When the dialogue isn’t getting picked up properly by the mics. Fair enough if it’s indie stuff but if it’s professionally produced, surely they could afford to shell out for a boom mic. Perhaps it’s just a mixing issue. Either way, it’s annoying. Idk, maybe add subs.


Of course I do. It’s just basic nettiquette.


I don’t say this to be condescending but idk what to tell you, building a romantic relationship with another human being will inherently require some amount of socialising. Since you really wanna operate with a specific intention, you view any socialisation not in direct pursuit of your goal as wasted effort, and no woman just going about her daily life wants to be asked out outta the blue, maybe dating apps really are your best option 🤷♀️ Sure, the UX deliberately sucks dog eggs, but like, it’s a space where it’s socially acceptable to romantically pursue total strangers and it doesn’t take too long to establish that you’re both on the same page wrt what you’re after.


Good effort, let’s make it bigger: y’all’d’nt’ve
I don’t know, because I know exactly how attractive I am to my target demographic: very.


Funnily enough, mine’s also garden-pot related. I was playing with my sister and our friend and I tripped over and faceplanted into a terracotta pot. It could’ve been a lot worse because there was a cactus in it, but even as it was I needed six stitches.


You rn:
Socialism is when the government does stuff. The more stuff the government does, the more socialister it is! And when the government does a whole bunch of stuff, that’s GOMmUNISM!!1!
bro you’ve been sealioning this whole time while yourself absolutely failing to bring any facts to the table to help you argue your point, there’s absolutely no benefit to engaging you in good faith. Mald harder.
