      the words you wrote implied someone would have to be mentally ill in order to see the obvious anti-semitism in rowling’s portrayal of goblins, being as they are essentially the 4chan greedy merchant meme

      you can stop lying now

        wow really? it couldnt imply racism? why do you jump straight to mental illness? unless you think racism is a mental illness

        if you look at a goblin and automatically think “Jewish” you might have a problem

        you can stop lying now

              We can all see your comments and they are very insensitive. I wouldn’t have banned you over them but I see why a hexbear mod would.

                  No, you are putting words into your mouth. People are telling you what the words you are putting into your mouth mean and what the consequences are.

                  Take the feedback. Or leave it.

                  Either way, you are responsible for your actions.

          i wish we had a “boredly jerking off” emoji bc that’s what this deserves in response

          if you look at a goblin and automatically think “Jewish” you might have a problem

          yes that would be true, if that was what was happening here. since you’re obviously incapable of learning this will be a waste of time but here’s some articles talking about the issue

          https://www.forbes.com/sites/danidiplacido/2022/01/05/the-harry-potter-anti-semitism-controversy-explained/?sh=43875ce66776

          https://www.themarysue.com/is-hogwarts-legacy-anti-semitic-hogwarts-legacy-anti-semitic-allegations-explained/

          https://www.thejc.com/news/news/hogwarts-legacy-reignites-allegations-of-antisemitism-within-hp-universe-kGxvwfPYJFZY2OsXc1e9y

          since i know you probably won’t bother i’m just going to quote some relevant bits from the last article

          "Critics assert that the goblins, who control Gringotts bank within JK Rowling’s beloved wizarding world, resemble the caricatures depicted in the antisemitic 1903 book, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. […] [T]he goblins’ appearance and profession parallel offensive antisemitic stereotypes such as having large, hooked noses and a particular covetousness for gold and money.

          The game also includes a description of a special horn that closely resembles the Jewish shofar, which was used in the lore “during the 1612 Goblin Rebellion to rally troops and generally annoy witches and wizards,”

          Critics were quick to also note that, coincidentally or not, the year 1612 coincides with The Fettmilch Uprising, a Jewish pogrom in Germany in which Jews were expelled from the city of Frankfurt. Although the uprising first began in 1612, Jews were only actually expelled in 1614."

              not knowing things doesn’t make you a terrible person. however, if you choose to continue defending a blatantly hateful property in a franchise created by a bigot now that you know better, then yeah people would be justified in calling you a piece of shit
