dae think about how house elves are a very obvious metaphor for chattel slavery oops not even a metaphor they are literally enslaved and then because all of them but Dobby have learned helplessness (Tippy) or internalized racism + speciesism (Kreacher) people in fanon will be all 'well the house elves like being slaves to wizards' and write fics where house elf slavery is presented as a good or neutral feature of magical society and Hermione trying to liberate them is played for even more laughs than it is in the original books? or is it just me?
