2 Every Former "weird Kid" Out There Who Still Struggles With Repressed Self Hatred As A Coping Mechanism,

they make me normal i’m like actually emotionally regulated now because of them you have to believe m,e

the first img is just a joke based on my sibling and i’s initial disbelief that bobette is somehow a main character and joking that dandy would be jealous abt potentially not being in the episode (bobette has two posters, one of which Doesn’t include dandy) (edit: i was mistaken, that’s her character poster, not an episode poster. oops !)

Obviously Harry Potter is fucked up as hell, filled with bigotry and stereotypes, and a lot of the morals they claim to espouse are very broken aesops.  

However, there’s one broken aesop/fucked up thing that I haven’t seen anyone talk about: the fact that the narrative tries to push wizards as “oppressed”, when really they are oppressing basically everyone else.

Literally the only time we see a wizard being oppressed because they’re a wizard is Harry with the Dursleys, and a couple mentions of the Witch Trials.  The Harry thing is one isolated incident, which hasn’t happened to any of the other known muggleborn and/or muggle-raised characters.

I’m not saying that the Dursleys didn’t abuse Harry, or that he “deserved” how they treated him.  I’m one of the first who will call the Dursleys’ abuse what it is, and no child deserves to go through that shit.  Also, I know that HP-verse wizards are born with their ability to use magic and they can’t help it.

However, wizarding society as a whole oppresses everyone who isn’t a wizard, and even some wizards.  

Wizards see muggles(non-magical humans) not unlike how muggles see those apes that know sign language(and other intelligent animals).  They also see nothing wrong with regularly fucking with muggles’ minds and memories, and they often all but divide/isolate muggleborn wizards from their muggle family members.  

Wizards treat all non-humans and part-humans like utter shit.  This includes oppressive laws(eg. werewolves and goblins, as well as the whole bigoted “beasts vs beings” classification the wizarding government does with non-humans), mass enslavement(eg. house-elves), wars and thievery(eg. goblins), full-on genocide(eg. giants), and general societal assholery and disdain(eg. half-giants and other hybrids, and centaurs, and others).

Wizards even see their own kind as “lesser” if they have any muggle ancestry that is more recent than great-grandparents.  They especially see wizards that have completely muggle parentage as “lesser”.

Even the “good guy” wizards tend to be dismissive of muggles and prejudiced against non-humans!

So like, it really screws over the supposed messages about “bigotry being bad” and “your blood not mattering” and whatnot.  Especially since most of the supposed “good guys” are still bigoted, and the bigotry against non-humans wasn’t changed even when things got better for muggleborn wizards.  

Also it honestly makes me uncomfortable these days when I read a fic that suggests that wizards are “oppressed” for being wizards/having magic.  This is most commonly seen in fics that mention/are about Harry and his experiences with the Dursleys.

Again, Harry was abused by the Dursleys and treated like shit for having magic.  He was arguably “oppressed” by his blood family for having magic, and he didn’t deserve what he went through.

However, Harry’s case was one isolated incident, once which hadn’t been seen in the cases of any of the other known muggle-raised wizards.  The only other character who arguably had an abusive muggle family member was Snape, and from what I know his dad mostly fought with his mom, and, while Tobias Snape was an asshole, he wasn’t the horrifyingly physically abusive monster that the Snape Stannies paint him as in their Snape-woobification stuff.  

And even if you take Snape into account, there’s still the fact that Harry went from being “oppressed” to being in a high rank of the oppressor class as soon as he joined the wizarding world: he was a fully human wizard, and one of his parents was a pureblood wizard from a rich and well-known pureblood family, and he also has the “Boy Who Lived”/“Chosen One”/“Savior Of The Wizarding World” fame and celebrity status on top of that(though the way he got that fame/status is fucked up and tragic, I’ll admit).

So, while Harry did have a shitty life, he wasn’t oppressed in the wizarding world, especially not for being a wizard.  In fact, he’s actually really privileged in the wizarding world, outside of the whole “dead parents + abusive relatives” thing and the “constantly targeted by Voldemort” thing.

Do you think Niwa freak out hearing kabukimono cuss for the first time? 💀

Truly nothing has ever pissed me off so much as this animal. An abomination is what this is. And I'll never be free of it. He has haunted me for years. Remember back in 2021 when we all had some hope for arc 9? Maybe not much, but some. Flamepaw, they called him. And then it was 2022. The excerpt was released. And I knew it was over. Because they gave him mommy issues. But already he was garnering fans. Already, people were buying into his lies. And then the book came out. It was April 2022. The world would never be the same. The Big Sparkpelt Retcon. The name change. Stealing his new prefix from yet another woman continuously wronged by the narrative. He didn't even pick his own name but he pretends he did and thus the fanbase believes this to be true. Never in my life have I felt so hateful towards a creature such as this. I cannot stand him. I can hardly bear to look at his sprite. What a joke. His chapters were grueling and aggravated me to no end. I've never read from a POV this painful. Every word that leaves his mouth is worthless. What a joke. I hope he burns in the deepest and darkest pits of hell. I like to imagine this often, because I hate him terribly. His screams would be the greatest sounds to ever escape his throat, and the flames that lick his skin would be as bright as his horrible amber eyes. They're not even bright in this photo. I bet he changed them just to make me look bad. He's good at changing things when he so wishes it. I can't stand him and I can't take it. He is the worst character. His existence shouldn't matter, yet he is somehow the most important character in the series, and so I could never get myself to really believe they might kill him off. But I wanted it more than anything. Opening each new PDF on release day I would pray that he would be flayed alive. Just brutally eviscerated. This did not come to pass, because I never get anything I want. My heart is as black as his sleek, self-righteous coat. I am so angry.
