#god it makes me feel a bit sick that i used to idolise her
jk rowling pretends she’s all about women when most of the women in her books get torn down for arbitrary reasons
rita skeeter and umbridge’s appearances get mocked in subtly transmisogynistic ways, same with marge with a dash of fatphobia, lavender brown is too girly and *checks notes* loves her boyfriend, cho chang is too sad despite *rechecks notes* the fact that her boyfriend was violently murdered, pansy is ‘pug-faced’ to the point of it being her defining trait
and i know some of these examples are antagonists but, like, if the worst thing you have to say about your female antagonist is that she’s ugly? that says more about you
