This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Rowling was always known to be slightly racist but people mostly dismissed it as a sort of fantastically stupid racism. As in, the "ha ha this racist stereotype is so dumb, see how ridiculous it looks when I put it in my wizard book" sort.

I don't think it was until she started going full TERF that people began to realise that she's not making fun of the stereotypes; she actually thinks casual racism is a funny and cute thing to do.
