Like There's Never Any Dimension Given To The Whole Trope - Tumblr Posts

not a hp blog but petition to stop perpetuating paddywhackery in fandom portrayals of Seamus Finnegan as if it’s fun when i am so very tired and the book/film characterisation of him, overseen by an english writer, as being overly fond of alcohol and blowing things up from the age of 11, was already a whole postcolonial mess like jk rowling is terrible we all know it by now so let’s not let her away with yet another example of her being lowkey awful it’s so fucking annoying the first book is literally set before the good friday agreement, are you honestly trying to tell me that an irish child in a british school in ‘95, regardless of whether they’re in the wizarding world or not, is going to be so gung ho about wanting to blow things up in that setting, like the troubles weren’t a thing and he wouldn’t be aware of the resulting anti-irish sentiment in britain at the time? like honestly? it’s so dumb jesus christ
