Hogwarts Legacy update!

We've confirmed the plot: there's an uprising among the race of hook-nosed bankers who control the economy. (Note that the more evil they are, the bigger their noses are. There's a good one who has a big nose but he used to be evil when he was younger.) They're "rebelling" because they want their stolen cultural artefacts to be returned to them and want to not be oppressed anymore, which for some reason means they also want to massacre their oppressors' entire race, because of course marginalised people asking for liberation actually secretly want to kill you. As part of this sinister cabal's nefarious plot for white—I mean, wizard—extinction, they want to kidnap a child, because that's what hook-nosed bankers like to do, right? And their leader is willing to do anything for material gain, up to and including teaming up with fascists who hate his race.

You guys know that conspiracy theorists think Jews funded the Holocaust, right? They claim we did it so we could milk it for reparation money afterwards. And did you know they think we kidnap children? Or that we actually want supremacy rather than equality, and plan to subjugate the rest of the world for our own gain? Presumably you've at least heard the claim that we control the banks. And you know this is all very popular with the alt right, don't you? Have you also heard that this game's original head developer was an alt right YouTuber?

Don't act like this is a fucking coincidence.

No, JKR wasn't involved in the game, and it's actively intended to be trans-positive. Yes, she gets money from it, and will likely donate some of that to anti-trans causes. But even if you pirate the game so she doesn't make any money off of it, you're still going to be be playing the fucking Protocols of the Elders of Gringotts.

Fucking TALK ABOUT THIS.

I came across this and I'm not jewish but I've seen some on Twitter say that this "goblin artefact" is in fact a Shofar. In case anybody is still doubting that the goblins in HP are pretty much a caricature of jewish people.

If you're not completely plugged in Ron DeSantis, the governor doing this, is the republican front runner for president next year.

This is bad. Really bad.

But I bet the school aged kids this law affects are suddenly really interested in books, especially the books Republicans don't want them to read.

This is happening in some districts in Texas, too. I’m a high school English teacher and it’s not illegal to provide those books where I am, but you could risk losing your job. I currently have butcher paper (the really big colored paper that comes on rolls) over my classroom library.

In order for students to read books from the school libraries, they must have parent approval and the books must be vetted by a committee of both parents and teachers. There is also a setting that notifies parents of every book they check out, if they request it. If students are found to be reading books that their parents didn’t approve, and they were given access to those books by teachers or librarians, those educators can be in big trouble.

We also have an online portal for parents to file a complaint about any book and have it pulled from all libraries across the district until it is reviewed by a new committee. As you can guess, most of the books they’re filing complaints about have to do with sexuality and gender— Even though in my district they don’t explicitly say that’s what they’re banning, they just lump it all under a sort of vague description of being “vulgar.” (Which also means they’re banning some books just for things like strong language, which is an added, ridiculous bonus. An individual parent should not be able to decide what is acceptable for every family across the district.)

Hey, i wonder if this has vonnections to removing Farenheit 451 from the approved list of books for schools cause
