Because I'm petty, I'm going to gather you all around and tell you about that time JK Rowling was extremely wrong about something and, by being wrong about it, poisoned Google search results for it for years afterwards and generally made the world ignorant about it

Replying to @arthur_affect @HowardtheDuck95
Ray Bradbury warned us about this. Are we allowed to read Fahrenheit 451, or is there no room for that either, on your view? Is Bradbury guilty of being insufficiently woke by association? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit_451 …https://www.businessinsider.com/harpers-letter-proves-serious-free-speech-chomsky-rushdie-steinem-kasparov-2020-7 …

Fahrenheit 451 was written specifically in response to McCarthyism in America. You know, when the Government was looking to censor Socialists? Bradbury's concern wasn't that people would necessarily censor books, but that people would no longer *want* them.

Which is precisely what that person was saying! Thank you for making my point! Or at least, I think it was, because they all lined up to block me so fast I can't even go back to look.

I mean I don't think people should read JK Rowling's books, and I am willing to publicly say so, because they are bad Is that totalitarianism in your eyes? Is there no such thing as a bad book? Am I required to read every book? Because that would take a long time
