Diseased Rowling Derangement Syndrome - "TERF/Woke Author Bad!!1"

Disgusting. smh. Fake ally.

I have the first and last books of both series here for comparison. I misremembered how the prose went. It isn't that different from Harry Potter but I think my thoughts were that it's a little too childish given the plot. Maybe it's different because of the cultural impact Harry Potter has. But this reader's guide website backs my opinion. ASOUE is marked as 4-7 interest level with a V reading level while Harry Potter has a 4-12 interest level and a V-Z reading level.

I haven't read ASoUE since before I was a teenager, but I recall it has a specific attribute which IMO makes it impossible to read as an adult book: this third person narrator speaking in a conversational tone to the reader, explaining what things are. It was fine (and possibly needed) for a young audience, but which would be jarring and maybe even belittling to an adult reader.

Those books were fucking weird. I read a large majority of them at a young age and at the time it always felt like I was getting away with something I shouldn’t, as the actual content of the books by the end were darker than the Potter equivalents, they were just written in a more whimsical way.

Deathly Hallows may have been an all out war, yet they won at the end.

ASOUE was goddamn depressing. So much death and disease, the final book involves the trio of children witnessing someone die in childbirth (well, immediately after it because the antidote to what they were dying of would kill the child), and raising it on a deserted island before sailing off.

My thoughts exactly. It's written like it's meant to be read aloud, which is a trait of young children's books. I remember a running gag of "[intermediate vocabulary word], a word which means [mildly comedic paraphrased definition]". That's kiddie 101.

>be Baudelaire orphans
>your parents were a part of some kooky literary fire secret society that split into two factions, those that put out fires and those that start them
>some lunatic from the bad side of the secret society is killing members of the good side by (you guessed it) burning their houses with them inside
>he kills your parents and is after your family fortune (multiple shoe boxes filled with baseball sized diamonds)
>you're dragged across the country to different guardians who are each murdered by this guy
>all ends in some hotel where everyone you've ever met (those still alive anyway) are having some stupid trial about you and this guy
>doesn't matter, the guy burns down the hotel CANONICALLY KILLING EVERYONE
>the three of you and him wash up on an island (and also a woman who's a friend of the family)
>encounter another weird cult
>blah blah blah coronaAIDS from the submarine is here in a bowl
>the guy shoots the bowl with a harpoon
>everyone dies except for you and the baby the woman gave birth to.
>you build a raft to leave the island
>maybe you live a happy life
>maybe you get eaten by the "metaphor for death" sea monster that's trailing your raft
>it doesn't matter
>nothing matters
>most people in this world are stupid or evil and good people suffer the most
>truly evil people are never properly punished because you can kill as many people as you want but you can only die once
Makes Dark seem like a comedy.

Edit: the inevitable Fredo is present and accounted for in his usual "trans Ralph Wiggum" mode.

Yeah Fred a book about Jayne County is really going to change perceptions about how TIMs are deranged fetishists. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2...irst-trans-rocknroller-electric-chairs-memoir

 

[TerminalTryHard]

Yeah ASOUE has such an odd dark fairy tale vibe to it. There's no other children's book remotely like it that I can think of.

If I remember right the author confirmed they survived.

"Jayne County is explaining the term “wrecking”, which was a popular pastime among the more confrontational drag queens of queens of Atlanta, Georgia, in the 60s. “Just deliberately trying to freak out the regular people, the solids as we called them,” she laughs. “Shaking people out of their normality, just trying to see what nerves we could push. They need their nerves twisted once in a while.

“We used to do things like go into department stores and ride up and down the elevators just screaming, you know, holding up women’s clothes and saying, ‘Look at this! He’s going to adore me in this!’ One of our big wrecks was going into the men’s room at the Greyhound bus station, a bunch of us queens, maybe four or five. The men were at the urinals with their you-know-whats out and we’d start screaming, ‘Ooh, look how big it is! Look at that one! Oh my God, I think I had that one last night! How is your wife in bed, darling? I’d be a lot better!’ The guys would be rushing to get their zippers up, so uncomfortable with us in there.”"

Those are the opening paragraphs of that article. So I can't even imagine how much more candid the book is about how much this is a fetish, and how much these freaks love pushing boundaries.

JKR is going to be remembered well by history for her work helping put these troons in their place.

If they wanted to cast someone black, hermione would have made actual sense and would be a more significant statement.

Making Hermione black would have been a cliche and a " wypipo bad" pile-on. Harry's male friend being black would have been more realistic. And for good measure some of the Slytherins would need to have been written as black unless Rowling was aiming for yet another tedious race sermon.

Never liked the idea of replacing the female token/sidekick with some other minority.

 

[Nigger Respecter]

Hermione is also gonna be black, don’t worry

Wayne "Jayne County" Rogers was addicted to meth, at one point beating a friend bloody with a microphone stand during a skit at his show because he was high and thought the friend was actually attacking him. Instead of admitting that he fucked up he sicced his friends, who all wanted to show how tolerant and accepting they were by backing the methed out tranny who had hospitalized a legendary punk, on Handsome Dick Manitoba.

That is the only thing I know about him, another tranny story from before I peaked. I foolishly thought that Mr County was the exception and not the rule.

 

[vanta pilled]

Don't worry, everyone is going to be black, except the death eaters of course. That way, when they say mudblood it'll have more oomph to it.

 

[hind matches ltd]

Don't worry, eberyone is going to be black, except the death eaters of course. That way, when they say mudblood it'll have more oomph to it.

To be fair, the only confirmed racebend so far was originally a Death Eater, and he not only begs white man Dumbledore pathetically for help at one point, but he spends the rest of his life serving him. There's bad political thinkpieces everywhere for those brave enough to see them.

That’s how the history of the character is NOW, but it’ll change for the show for a “modern audience”

I thought I finished the series and sort of remember the hotel but I don't remember any of the other shit. Both Harry Potter and ASOUE had strong 'don't trust authority' messages.

Making Hermione black would have been a cliche and a " wypipo bad" pile-on. Harry's male friend being black would have been more realistic. And for good measure some of the Slytherins would need to have been written as black unless Rowling was aiming for yet another tedious race sermon.

Ron couldn't have been made black because he's poor and it's frequently pointed out how he's second best to Harry

 

[Greedy Fly]

And for good measure some of the Slytherins would need to have been written as black

There was Blaise Zabini: tall, good-looking, famous gold-digger for a mother, same year as Malfoy but not really part of his set. Funnily enough you can list off a half-dozen things about him before you even need to bring up his race, even as a minor character. People act like her racial minority characters are egregious and offensive stereotypes when they're always pretty rounded-out characters.

I'm kind of surprised they never took the chance to expand on Dean Thomas; if I recall correctly Rowling had a lot of backstory for him but it got cut. His father went out for milk died fighting Death Eaters without ever telling his mother he was a wizard, there's apparently a whole subplot for discovering this she couldn't find a place to fit into the books.

Disgusting. smh. Fake ally.

He should boycott that role. In fact, I think all my PoC brothas and sistas should boycott all roles in the Harry Potter remake. Let those huwhite devils make do without ebony magic.

 

[Soulless4510]

In Harry Pothead, Hermione and SPEW, her regularly mocked crusade to liberate the house elves was left out of the film for similar reasons. Not that important to the overall storyline, kind of a distraction. Many people have rightly pointed out that this subplot helped grant insight into Hermione as a character and that it was also a key thing in one element that Americans just never plain fucking understood about Harry Pothead in that it was always intended as satire of the boarding/public school system.
Hermione being a posh little swot was exactly the kind of girl who would be putting loads of effort into a save the whales campaign and wouldn't shut up about it.

Yeah, that's pretty much true. However, it kind of sucks that kids for the most part, can't really talk about or do anything about huge issues because mostly they are funded by some nefarious elements and such.

Anyway I'm happy that the powers that be at WBD are going forward with this whole remake, because at least they have the courage to do it. Unlike Disney with Star Wars with them doing prequels and stories around that set era. Why can't they just get the stones that just say screw it we are remaking the prequels and the original trilogy.

I heard if they use stuff George created, they have to pay him. That's why they're always doing retarded shit.

They could do a lot with Kingsley Shacklebolt. He was in charge of protecting the muggle PM or the minister of magic at one point, and I think he eventually became MoM after the end of the books. But I guess it lacks the easy diversity points they get for making a white character black.
