I mean my reading is that someone in our Cultural Elite has once more resorted to Harry Potter As Moral Lodestone and my aesthetic sense is once more brutalized, is that take off :(

Agree that the potterisms are fucking tired but I still grok his meaning clearly.

I have no objection to his message whatever it is only his choice of analogy

Dan spews some next level shit sometimes I still haven't forgiven him for "monads are just unix pipes", something he insisted on for literally hundreds of replies unwilling to admit his complete ignorance

Would have been a more interesting comparison. "Banning kidnapped children from hugging isn't even Nazi shit. It's unix pipe shit." Or monad shit for that matter. But no it's always Harry Potter characters.
