You Know What? No. No, Hatsune Miku Did Not Write Harry Potter.

You know what? No. No, Hatsune Miku did not write Harry Potter.

J. K. Rowling wrote Harry Potter. And we need to accept that.

Harry Potter isn’t some pure unproblematic beacon of perfection that we can just choose to erase the scummy author from and enjoy without guilt. Harry Potter is very much rooted in Rowling’s view of the world. The blatant antisemitism in the portrayal of the goblins, the entire race of slave creatures that actually really like being slaves and Hermione’s attempts to free them are largely played off as a joke, the almost complete dearth of canon characters of color (and then when she does put canonical characters of color in, they’re… Nagini…), the complete lack of respect for other cultures (the Japanese wizarding school literally translates to “Magic Place” in Japanese, Cho Chang is not even remotely a proper Chinese name, don’t get me started on her usage of Native American folklore), the almost complete lack of LGBTQ+ characters, the “Dumbledore is gay!” baiting, the lycanthropy-as-HIV metaphor that involves one of the werewolves intentionally infecting as many people as he can, with a preference for targeting children, no less…

These are all very much present in Harry Potter. They’re not things you can just ignore. And they’re there because Rowling wrote them in.

I know you read Harry Potter as a kid and loved it. I know when you read Harry Potter as a kid you probably didn’t even notice how shitty all this stuff was. I certainly didn’t. But you can’t go back to that time. You can’t go back to when you were 10, when you were consuming this media and loving it uncritically without notice or regard for its more problematic elements. You can’t go back to being a kid again.

And that’s okay. It doesn’t mean you’re required to wholeheartedly condemn this important part of your childhood. You can still enjoy these books while acknowledging that they’ve got some really shitty things in them. You can enjoy Harry Potter as a mature adult. You don’t have to be a kid again to like it. And you’re perfectly allowed to hate on Rowling for her shittiness, past and present, while still loving Harry Potter.

So don’t say Harry Potter was written by Hatsune Miku. It wasn’t. It was written by J. K. Rowling, warts and all.

We didn’t have a word for our, as you guys call, gay/lesbian people. So we coined that word as an umbrella for all our tribes. We never said, “Well, you’re transgender. You’re bisexual. You’re lesbian.” We never knew those terms. Those are all from Western culture, you know, LGBTQ and all that. So on some level, it’s about getting rid of labels. Those terms were forced upon us.

About Lover Fest

I dont want to see perform at it any artist that has stayed silent this day in regards of Taylor's situation.

This isn't even about business and the masters anymore, this is straight up bullying and mistreatment. She has been performing old songs so far, WHY so suddenly she isn't allowed to anymore?

Its not about the masters is about destroying and hurting Taylor by ruining her Artist of the Decade award performance, specifically.

Its about control and humiliation.

This is not a man with a questionable moral for businesses, this is a man who HATES a woman, a very specific woman, and is trying to diminish her completely.

Musical artists allowed at Lover Fest:

Sara Bareilles

Tinashe

Halsey 👑 she has been defending Tay ALL DAY

Dodie

Todrick Hall

Selena Gomez

Camila Cabello

Echosmith

Azealia Banks

Blake Shelton

Everyone else can go f**k themselves. You dont get to use Taylor for your benefit if you're incapable of showing support PUBLICALLY.

She explicitly asked for artists and people to publically show support so I WONT TOLERATE "I TALKED TO HER PRIVATELY" BS NO MORE

Y la culpa no era mía, ni dónde estaba ni cómo vestía. El violador eres tú.

"And the fault isn't mine, where I was or how I dress. You are the rapist."

Those are the translated lyrics of the Latin feminist hymn originated in Chile.

The lyrics have been criticized by anti-feminists (specially in mexico) and so many women started tweeting about their experience with sexual assault (where they were and what they were wearing) accompanied by the lyrics and DataPopMX just released some statistics based on 2,832 tweets:

In 68% of the sexual assaults occurred between 4 and 6 years old, they wore pajamas and were in family home.

In 26% of the sexual assaults occurred between 4 and 6 years old, they wore children's clothes and were in family home.

In 87% of the sexual assaults occurred between 9 and 11 years old, they wore their school uniform and were in family home.

In 59% of the sexual assaults occurred between 14 and 16 years old, they wore shorts and were on the street.

In 76% of sexual assaults occurred between 19 and 21 years old, they wore jeans and were at a friend's place.

In 8% of sexual assaults occurred between 19 and 21 years old, they wore skirts and were in public transport.

Of the 2,832 tweets in total 31% (877) occurred between 4 and 6 years old.

Y La Culpa No Era Mía, Ni Dónde Estaba Ni Cómo Vestía. El Violador Eres Tú.

“We need to understand there is no one formula for how women should lead our lives. That is why we must respect the choices that each woman makes for herself and her family. Every woman deserves the chance to realize her own God-given potential. But we must recognize that women will never gain full dignity until their human rights are respected and protected. Human rights are women’s rights and women’s rights are human rights once and for all”.

Pride and Prejudice (2005) is a timeless classic because the line “i’m 27 years old, i’ve no money and no prospects. i’m already a burden to my parents and i’m frightened” is as relevant today as when she published pride and prejudice in 1813 😭
