      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

      Yeah, Catholic "mythos" definitely gets this treatment. I've seen it a lot in Japanese media especially, but you get it in American vampire/monster stories, too. Like Van Hellsing or Buffy.

      Yes, but the point is the people who write it don't get all shocked when they hear some Catholics aren't pleased.

      Also Catholicism hasn't been reduced to a shell of itself whose practitioners are struggling to retain their history and culture.

      I know My point when drawing the comparisons to stuff like Western astrology or the Catholic Church is to point out how shockingly lazy and ignorant these little appropriations would come off if they were applied to something you were familiar with

      But it is not at all a *symmetrical situation* It's not just that someone *wouldn't* write a book where "Pisces means guitarist", it's that if they did, it would be laughed off pretty quickly and no one would actually change their understanding of the zodiac because of it

      What JKR does she gets away with because she's strip-mining cultures that are already marginalized and ignored in "mainstream" culture When I talk about what the Sikidy signs mean in Malagasy culture it sounds like I'm talking about "obscure trivia" to white people

      The offense doesn't register as offense because they're used to it, because it's normalized And because, perversely, if it were applied to them it would be such a tiny thing as to be easy to ignore, as opposed to being one snowflake in an avalanche of offenses

      Like I joke about "Cho Chang" being like if I named an English character "Pip-pip Cheerio" but of course an Englishman wouldn't actually be *offended* by that What would there really be to be offended about? It's not like he's spent his life getting shit on for being English

          Maybe if you named an Irish character "Paddy O'Drunkard" it might come close

          I mean I'm mostly of Irish heritage and I think it's funny. But yes, that's closer.

          That you think an Englishman wouldn’t find something to be offended about there suggests you’ve not spent much time with Englishmen

          Lol I've actually had a surprising number of TERFs yell at me for being an American who hates English people, carrying this huge chip on their shoulder about "Americocentrism" in media I think of it as mostly tactical feigned outrage but I dunno what goes on in their heads

          To me, when I read Harry Potter (as an adult) I just thought it was extremely simple children's fare and escapism, harmless as a gateway drug to good fantasy. So the garbled Latin and so forth in the spells and the foreign people's names that sounded like random syllables...

          ...were just cringey things to be expected of run-of-the-mill children's books written by white people. I was always really confused as to why people saw more to Rowling's writing than that or acted like they were earth-shattering.
