I 100% know and understand why we hate Rowling, she deserves all the hate she gets, but why do we hate the work itself? I watched those movies when I was little when they were on TV, now couldn’t care less, and only interesting part to me are mythical creatures/monsters. But I still forgot why do we hate it so much??

Can someone remind me and explain me?

    I do think overly hating Harry Potter is just a meme, just like hating Nickelback or Twilight was, only specifically on the Left regarding HP.

    Me personally I (please don’t judge me) read the Harry Potter series (I’m not exaggerating) some 12-15 times as a kid well into my adolescence. It was just escapism and it meant a lot to me as a kid, and there’s probably still some bone in my body that gets emotional hearing some of the music.

    I think hating Harry Potter is very valid for a lot of reasons, beyond JKR being gigacringe there’s also plenty of cringe sprinkled throughout the series, but also it’s kind of an overdone fad and I would just hope said people also appreciate how, if you set this standard, 90+% of mainstream media is so, so terrible. At a certain point I’ve learned I just have to accept that almost everything we love has major, systemically informed flaws, it’s okay to enjoy them it’s okay to hate them but personally overhating on anything just leaves a bad negativity cloud with me so I avoid it besides the occasional joke.

      Twilight is mega racist Mormon propaganda. The less you know about it, the better

      Yea, Rowling is an absolute bigot, but I didn’t get the hate towards the work itself. Also, when I was little, I watched the movies a number of times, whenever they were on TV. And yes Twilight is a meme by itself…
