      This is what I mean when I say she's not just a bad writer and a bigoted person but profoundly lazy Her worldview is shaped by this amazingly self-confident willingness to just glance at something once or twice and be sure she understands as much of it as she needs to

      Was there ever any need to go back and look up what "Alohomora" meant? Nah Was there ever any worry that someone from the culture she was shamelessly lifting from might be offended or take issue with her? Nah Just plow on ahead, Jo, let your imagination be your compass

      You’ve apparently never met or known any kind of fiction author if you’re calling JKR lazy and ignorant based on this. Most fiction authors have nothing to do with history. They are making. Stuff. Up. And you just called her an idiot for naming a magical spell something.

      If you've never read a fiction author who shows more passion and depth in how they handle real world cultures in their writing than JK Rowling then you have been sorely deprived

      JK Rowling doesn’t handle real world cultures in her fantasy series. That you’re doing forensic exegesis of her writing style is the sad part here.

      It's not really that "forensic" to ask what the word "Alohomora" means This is what's honestly sinister about the whole way this topic gets discussed - Malagasy culture is a real thing that exists in the real world, it's not some body of archeological trivia

      It's a generally shitty thing white writers do to treat real life cultures they consider foreign as just bodies of "lore" for them to mine and then to remix and recontextualize as they see fit, as though other countries are just fairytale kingdoms from children's stories

      And JK Rowling does this A LOT, which is why she gets people so pissed at her Like she thought it'd be clever to do a good-guy-bad-guy switch with Navajo skinwalkers and say skinwalkers were really innocent Animagi who were persecuted by evil charlatans

      And she treated this like just flipping the good guys and bad guys in a comic book As though the Navajo aren't REAL PEOPLE and she didn't just casually tell a bunch of REAL PEOPLE that "in my fantasy world your religious leaders are all grifters and liars"

      The most offensive thing about it was in fact that she was surprised by the reaction It would have been better if the whole thing were intentional trolling Like if I said the Catholic Church were secretly run by vampires I would at least expect Catholics to get offended

          I wouldn't get all surprised like I thought Catholics had gone extinct years ago and everyone just thought of their belief system as a bunch of fun fairytales to remix to their heart's content
