really the case for anything and everything Harry Potter.
I have genuine fond memories of reading them with my mom and class as a kid, as well as seeing the movies, but they really didn't age well, which has only been aggravated by Rowling being a bigot.
it's really incredible how much Rowling managed to fuck up her legacy and the legacy of her books.
Like, if she'd just been generally supportive of inclusion or even just kept her dang mouth shut, people would probably still love the HP stuff. Collectively, people were ready to give her a pass for the mediocre writing, shitty naming, and even the more problematic content. But she turns out to be a massive TERF and everyone just went "ok, you know what? yeah. let's talk about it. you suck at writing and your books are pretty damn racist."
