      And, probably, through word-of-mouth, through 90s grade school librarians shoving it in your face, through goofy made-up words that a four-year-old could sound out phonetically, through the ease of readability, through Christians burning it, that marketing found purchase in you

      Consider how many kids you knew who loved Harry Potter who were otherwise abject chucklefucks When you really think about how staggeringly challenging it is to make a work of art that is universally accessible, you start to wonder if such a work can strive toward any other merit

      Vapor Weyve Retweeted Aggrax (Ryan)

      Yeah, absolutely I mean I cannot imagine having the energy to hold Jim Davis in contempt. Whatever, he created a proto-Pusheen and made billions in merchandising And we can have fun mocking its anodyne nature with stuff like Garfield Minus Garfieldhttps://twitter.com/Aggrax/status/1269614606957207552 …

      I mean, there are worse goals than "make a thing that isn't massively hated, that most kids seem to like and that gets me lots of money."

      But JKR isn't like Jim Davis in one critical sense. Davis has pretty much always been consistently insipid (except for that one week he freaked the fuck out of everyone), and he never became enraptured with his own celebrity JKR on the other hand became convinced of her genius

      Like as a person, JKR is the ultimate basic bitch white lady. She has no interesting lived experiences, she has no extraordinary insight to offer, she is an upjumped Karen who happens to be conventionally articulate. That's fine, for writing a screenplay to a Nickelodeon show.

      (Which is what the Harry Potter books PRETTY much are. I made this observation even back when I was a kid and still stand by it—structurally, JKR patterns and paces the books exactly like The Secret World of Alex Mack or other live-action Nick shows.) But JKR got carried away

      She started to think of herself more and more as a JRR Tolkien figure, and as the books got more successful she increasingly centered her own personality in the marketing, started to get a little pretentious about her books which were objectively not very smart at all

      Like Jim Davis probably does not see himself as being in the ballpark of Art Spiegelman. I'm just guessing here. He probably doesn't think he's done anything on MAUS' caliber JKR totally thinks of her hacked-out, focus-grouped novels as being on Roald Dahl's level.

      *remembers Dahl's virulent anti-Semitism* Uh... Dahl and Rowling are a bit more alike than it first appears. And Dahl wrote post-WW2, so it's not like the full dangers of that prejudice was a theoretical.

      Creatively speaking, no. Dahl's work, despite his antisemitism, isn't as BLATANTLY antisemitic as JKR's, and in terms of craftsmanship, dedication and a creative spark there's no comparison

      The weird thing is "Robert Galbraith" totally feels like JKR trying to adopt a very Roald Dahl-like persona, the side of him that you only really saw if you read his adult fiction Cynical, world-weary, kind of casually misogynist dude who knows what's what about everything

          Galbraith, like Dahl, is a war veteran whose view of the petty hypocrisies and nuisances of middle-class life is forever jaundiced by having barely survived being In the Shit etc
