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 cannot believe how brazen people are about just prancing about publicly declaring what shitty, shitty people they are and being proud like this is a sign of maturity "The thing is, when you offend a minority, it doesn't matter You're allowed to do that, they're minorities"

"That's the whole thing about minorities -- there's not very many of them! They're outnumbered! You get to insult and exploit them as much as you like! If there were enough of them to actually stop you from doing so, they'd be the majority!"

Fucking Christ You're repeating back to me the very thing I was complaining about -- the fact that the vast majority of British and American kids know jack shit about Madagascar and swallowed JKR's bullshit about "West Africa" uncritically -- as proof it doesn't matter

You all talk exactly like smug Trump supporters "Well apparently you DON'T need to know anything or be good at anything to become a bestselling writer, or to be elected President of the United States! That's not how the system even works! So why are you complaining?"
