TERF neoliberal hexbear at that. They're so far right, most of the people they align themselves with don't think cis women are full people either. Their front page is usually just links to daily mail articles.
It's really fascinating to me how a group of people can be so transphobic that it literally takes over their entire worldview, just completely rots their brains. One of my favorite chud sites to just scroll through and laugh at.
I still recommend some of Lovecraft's work, and Asimov's, and other shitty people's. But always with warnings, with the intent to discuss their flaws and the way those flaws creep into their work (or, sometimes, take over the work wholly) and the way that those works can still be valuable and cool and worth looking at despite those flaws in author and work.
The problem with Harry Potter is it doesn't really have any redeeming qualities. It is, as you say, worth nothing more than good marketing. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone mostly just because they're not very good, even with Rowling completely out of consideration.
If they were good? I don't know, it'd be a different story.
By God, America's people are starving. I have seen the error of my ways. I must become a... rolls dice anarcho-primitivist? :anprim-pat:
Good post. Legend of Korra is absolutely dreadful.
Try the Rise of Kyoshi novel. This trips people up a lot, bad marketing I guess, but it's a novel. Not a comic. It's very good for YA.
Nah, I love it. Just read a comment by a person who called themselves "leftist, almost communist" while unironically posting on a site which does practically nothing but aggregate links to the daily mail. It's pure comedy
