Hogfather as in the Discworld novel? I could have sworn that was older than Harry Potter.

Edit: it is, but surprisingly only one year older than the first Harry Potter book.

I just did a poo.

Well, you’ve clearly made your mind up.

I’m not sure about the ownership of foundations, charitable funds and the like; some degree of corruption wouldn’t surprise me unfortunately.

I will say that she won’t have been deliberately pushing class-stratification given her socioeconomic background, however the whole setting is heavily influenced by Victorian-era children’s novels about boarding school adventures which were absolutely saturated with classism.

They surely needed a team of editors towards the end.

JK Rowling holds a very common position amongst older feminists and really doesn’t deserve the constant rape threats for funding women’s refuges. I’m pushing back on the party line here, and no, I don’t believe trans people deserve to be killed, or any bullshit like that. I promise to hide them in my non-existent attic if it comes to that.

Edit: the books did get progressively worse after the third or possibly fourth one, though, and the films aren’t very good.

Also bears can’t type, which introduces a massive bias during data collection.

It’s all “real”, but I’m not sure anybody would ever say it. Canthal tilt is something about your eyes, Gorilla Mind is a supplement of some sort.

Eugenics sounds really cool. Not the mandatory sterilisation style, but breeding superhumans? Don’t pretend that wouldn’t be cool.
