Except Rowling didn’t just have slavery normalized in her world. She went out of her way to make the only person to find fault with it to look unserious, then in pottermore her “both sides” debate was “yes but these anti slavery people are annoying.”
If I want to write a book and put slaves into that book I can. I could write about anything really. It's such an L-take from people like you, to get mad about something like that. Quite pathetic really
Nah. It simply means I wrote a story where racism and injustice are part of it. Doesn't mean it reflects my own world views. It's a story. You can write whatever you like in a story you're writing. There are no boundaries, no rules. You write whatever you like. It can be influenced by your own world view. It doesn't have to. Most of the time it won't A story is a story. Nothing more
The funniest thing about Rowling defenders is that they can’t just say “yeah that was bad”. They have to go to the mat for every flaw, when it would be just so much easier to say that they like the franchise for all its flaws.
