I was so totally not aware that people didn’t know that being sorted into Houses was a real thing in UK schools. It’s not something made up just for the Harry Potter world, it’s a real schooling system, I was in the St George House at my school and everyone had the same attitude to Prefects as everyone in the HP world did to Percy Weasley I can assure you.
theres so many things wrong here i want to Scream hollywood is such a fuckjng mess
you all know why lord of the flies was written about little boys? golding very specifically believed that 1) he was not qualified to write about little girls as he had never experienced being one 2) he did not believe that the same events would transpire if it had been girls because he thought boys behaviour more likely to paint a picture of (male dominated) society and its problems. you can’t keep a female version of the story ‘faithful’ to the book because then it would be unfaithful to what the author was originally trying to portray. why dont you go and spit on goldings grave while you’re at it too.
Wasn’t LOTF also written in response to an older book that kind of depicted British boys/men as the golden children of reason and civilization, and Golding, who taught at a boys’ school, was like “lol have you met any actual boys”
This is the physical manifestation of men saying “what if it was the other way round?” with no thought of context or history.
Tormenting children is the design, not the flaw. Secretary Nielson will go down in history as true evil. She was warned of the risks to children and sadistically kept the same plan.
Why is it we can’t seem to bring ourselves to call them concentration camps? That’s what they are. And why can’t we call them child refugees? Again, that’s what they are. We just murdered a child refugee in one of our concentration camps.
also u all know that the manic pixie dream girl trope is supposed 2 be a discussion about male wish fulfillment and misogyny in storytelling not a new way 2 ridicule girls right
