      It actually is as offensive on as deep a level as the word "Mudblood", it's just that no one talks about it the same way because Squibs are such a small minority that no one gives a fuck about how they feel

      Like this is outright in the text We are directly told and shown that Filch's life is a fucking living hell and that he's spent his life desperately trying to escape it (all those damn remedial magic correspondence courses) and the narrative sees this but doesn't care

      SO OFTEN Rowling acknowledges someone's pain but just doesn't care She shows us someone's suffering and then gives us permission to move on from it because all their suffering does is upset and inconvenience the people who really matter That's her worldview, that's her ethics

      It's this awful thing - with plenty of irl parallels - where "wizard" is both a cultural identity, a pretty deeply ingrained and fundamental one, *and* a specific set of abilities

      The Wizarding World is a whole goddamn culture totally divorced from the Muggle world and it straight up says people raised in it just can't function in Muggle society at all - look at Arthur Weasley But if you can't wave a wand, then you can't function in the Wizarding World

      Which means Squibs can't fucking function AT ALL They can't go anywhere, they can't do anything They either jump into the Muggle world and struggle valiantly to acclimate to a new culture when they're eleven (a traumatic experience) or they live as charity cases like Filch

      God, this is actually a really powerful metaphor for disability, queerness, neurodivergence, etc But JK Rowling never explored it because she doesn't care It's so very frustrating All we get is a "good Squib" character in Order of the Phoenix, Arabella Figg

      Oh my God There's an official story on Pottermore about the world's most famous Squib, Angus Buchanan Who came from a big family and whose siblings protected him from his conservative parents his whole childhood, faking magical ability on his behalf

      To the point where they managed to forge a Hogwarts letter and get him on the train Only, of course, the plan all falls to pieces at the Sorting Ceremony, when as soon as they put the Hat on his head it says "Hey wait a minute you don't belong in any House, you're a Muggle"

      And he's so humiliated he has a breakdown and flees sobbing from the Great Hall And he's escorted back home, only for his father to meet him at his front door and say he's soiled the family name forever and no goddamn no-magic nobody is any son of his
