      Vapor Weyve Retweeted Felicia DesJardins

      See! Okay. This is really important! Honestly, in the age of JKR, with her toxic creative property poisoning the earth, I could see LORD OF THE FLIES relevant from a deprogramming perspective, deconstructing the evils of the boarding school systemhttps://twitter.com/chibikonatsu/status/1292307493352140800 …

      But the thing is that that wasn't the author's intent at ALL. Like, everyone talks about it as being some commentary on human nature but he was very, VERY specifically criticizing British boarding school culture and its utter toxicity.

      Honestly in 2020 it's kind of ridiculous to imagine that we would ever NEED to have to make the case to children that boarding school culture is uniquely toxic but JKR has romanticized and glorified it to a really unwholesome extent Plus it had a hand in creating David Cameron

      Like, the whole sequence of events which led to Cameron putting his penis in a pig is tied to boarding school culture. If LORD OF THE FLIES were to renew its cultural relevance on that basis, though, the context it's presented in would have to change significantly

      Vapor Weyve Retweeted Baal Ska Tov

      For all that Rowling claims to have been inspired by Roald Dahl, Dahl is nothing if not extremely open about the fact that boarding school made his childhood a traumatic living hell and Rowling pretty much describes it as Disneyland but for eight yearshttps://twitter.com/mssilverstein/status/1292309423982084098 …

      English boarding schools being basically rape factories is something that I am continuously shocked to learn, even as I already have learned it repeatedly. It explains so much.

      Replying to @Nymphomachy

      I mean, does she? It's a hellish place where students are constantly being tortured by their teachers, when they're NOT in the midst of a civil war. The problem is that I always assumed that the stuff that was actually just British school culture was bc of Voldemort.

      Replying to @mssilverstein @Nymphomachy

      Some of it was, some of it wasn't. But it's coherent as an American reader because the bullies and abusive teachers are plausibly affiliated with Ultimate Evil, and if it turns out they're not, it's too late to remember.

      literally until the sixth book (which represents unusual circumstances) the place is basically heaven on earth

      It's funny that Rowling has a very Dickensian eye for the power of the animal appetites to arouse emotion and define a setting Like we never stop hearing about how bountiful and delicious the spread is in Hogwarts' dining hall, and this is a big deal to Harry and Ron

      Both of whom come from households were they weren't fed very much, either as deliberate abuse or due to poverty Which is honestly not that unrealistic for people who become incredibly devoted to institutions that save them from food insecurity

          But anyway, it's interesting that this is such a vividly realized part of the Hogwarts fantasy when by contrast George Orwell, who came from a more privileged household than Harry or Ron, said one of his abiding memories was how much the food at boarding school sucked
