House elves are racist/woke/expensive/striking/wrong-religion now 😜
kinda funny that you say that considering that the JK rowling is anti-woke lmao
The house elves were always fucked up
Wait till you see the bankers
Make sure to include a giant star of David in the film adaptation too, that will surely beat the antisemitism allegations /s
Surely they can’t be tha…oh.
Oh, my.
I don’t see how. Wasn’t it the evil people who had house elves anyway, and the good people freed and befriended them?
I’m not here to defend Rowling, but depicting an injustice in fiction isn’t the same thing as committing an injustice.
She’s a terrible person in other ways, but I don’t think writing about house elves is what makes her terrible. Unless there’s more in the books that I don’t know about…
…the house elves are in Hogwarts too. They are not staff, they are school property. Harry owns a house elf after book 5. The books openly ridicule Hermione for being the only sane person and trying to end house elf slavery because apparently the house elves like being enslaved and she’s just overreacting. Need I go on?
Ah, I didn’t know about all that. I’ve only seen the movies
