Lol British folklore doesn't say goblins run a centralized banking institution, come the fuck on, that's her thing she made up

JKR's use of folklore is so haphazard and sloppy It's not just that it's "inaccurate", it's that the new shit she made up isn't particularly interesting or good, it's all seat-of-the-pants

Like how the various species of fairies just have nothing to do with each other in JKR's world House-elves and boggarts have nothing to do with each other, even though the original DEFINITION of a boggart was a "house-elf" (a brownie) that turned to mischief due to mistreatment

That's an idea with HUGE potential if Rowling wants to turn the idea of brownies into some kind of commentary on slavery -- do humans keep house-elves enslaved out of fear, because their only experience with "free" house-elves is as dangerous and terrifying boggarts?

But she just ignores that Not, like, rejects it, she just ignores it, because it seems like she didn't even know about it Just like the extreme sloppiness with folklore from other cultures -- skinwalkers in America, naga in Asia -- that pissed people off

She doesn't ignore it, she isn't writting a paper on slavery. It's not what the books about. Also this has nothing to do with trans people or her comments. Are you just searching for other things to hate her for now

If you're gonna defend her bullshit by talking up what a great writer and erudite researcher she is, I feel free to reply that she's neither

The goblins absolutely are not some kind of logical extrapolation from real-life folklore They are something she made up, and they're much more closely based on modern-day nasty political cartoons (with strong antisemitic overtones) than "folklore"
