Never read one of her books or saw any of the movies, thankfully. Her stuff always just seemed like dollar store Tolkien to me, plus I guess I was slightly older than the intended age range.
My most regretted purchase ever, by the way, was a Kid Rock CD and I am deeply ashamed of it to this day.
When I was like 13 I bought a T-Shirt off of Sonic sprite comic artist “Psyguy” (well, had my mom buy it, but yaknow). Years later he turned out to be one of the internet’s biggest sex pests.
I also bought a ProJared tshirt at one point. His case is more complex I guess but its still a bad track record lol.
i’m gen z but i also read her books growing up. i’m really glad i started reevaluating them before she went fully mask off, or i’d have probably been really hurt by it, given that she’s about a hairs breadth from calling for my torture and execution on the national news
In (some of) our defence the first few books appeared to be setting up for some good criticisms - they weren’t resolved in the books they first appeared in, but they were highlighted in such a way it seemed to be drawing attention to real life injustices through the lens of a magical society.
But then they weren’t resolved at all. The Weasley’s poverty, the literal slavery, the systemic legal problems like a fucking soul eating prison - they wasn’t going to be a real commentary, it was just showing off the features of the setting. And by that time we’d wasted our money on 4 or 5 books.
Launch anyone who bought the movies into the sun though.
I blame millenials buying her crap for giving her such an outsized voice. Launch her into the fucking sun.
and everyone who bought her books, for good measure.
Help I was a child and it was my mom’s money 😭
