It's like they somehow read totally different books than I did. He was pretty obviously gender-as-you-will.
all these terfs being shocked at the idea that Terry Pratchett wasn't one of them are reminding me of the people who claimed to be big Hunger Games fans, then went to see the movie and were shocked that Rue was Black.

I remember the posts that weren't just shocked but were upset that they "changed" Rue from an "innocent little blonde girl" and said this made it impossible to sympathize with her or care about her death. All made with no cognizance of what they were revealing about themselves.

its rly funny bc those ppl clearly did not read the books, if they did theyd see suzanne collins literally writing her as a character w dark skin

It's weird how we whitewash things in our heads. One of the protagonists of an urban fantasy series I like is black. Her parents become relevant at different points. And in both cases I had an 'oh' moment where I realized that yes. Her mother/father was probably also black.

Members of the military who went to a warzone to pay off their college and love that series amaze me too.
