After the GOP over-performs in the midterms, you can thank the Retard Right when Republican politicians never take “the youth” seriously ever again.

Right wingers love to do this thing where they point to the most absurd examples from their opponents and then argue from that as the premise, but that has been steadily dwindling in effectiveness since ~2019. It hardly even works against the left anymore.
The “foundations of an art movement” he’s talking about is genderbent draco malfoy fanfiction

In order to argue from a point of sanity, you need to be living in a sane world.

It's always funny to see how the average 2smart4u misunderstands the topics they talk about. Virality is by definition internet-based. As long as something is interacted with enough on the internet, it is viral.
It's always funny to see how chuds are fundamentally incapable of understanding that we're all trapped in an algorithmic bubble. I assure you "Malfoid" is not a viral trend in any real way.

Scott Greer has bitten off more than he can chew with his predictable contrarianism for the same reason you don't countersignal the anime pfps. They have what people who consider themselves normal or reasonable do not: passion.

le morte d'arthur is fan fiction
1. Write fan-fiction 2. ??????? 3. Become a better author J. K. Rowling didn’t become capable of writing HP by writing (or reading) fan-fiction. She read actual literature, and a lot of it.

Wow. He's already Malfoid posting. I knew he had it in him.

Bellcurve.jpeg At a certain point you realize that they really are in the same category. (Especially when your go-to example is The Godfather) What we now call fanfiction was a huge aspect of the literary world. It's why Miguel de Cervantes had to write part two of Don Quixote.
I have gotten some of the dumbest cultural analysis in my mentions today. Right-wing people can comprehend art that's fiction. That's most movies and literature. No one is disputing the merits of the Godfather or Crime and Punishment. Harry Potter fanfic is not in the same category.

The campfire tale, the tall tale, the bar tale, "fanfiction" and great novels are all ways in which people participate in telling stories together. If you want a culture that appreciates "high art" it needs to also participate in "low art"

One of the most influential modern stories is Lord of the Rings and it started off as a father telling his children stories and engaging with his love for language. Shakespeare's plays are bawdy tales meant to entertain the masses.

Malfoid is weird. Anime is weird. Right wingers are weird. Eventually what will come out of all this weirdness is a new age of sincerity.

Like it or not, Harry Potter is what little shared culture we have left. I don't like it by the way. But that hardly matters when it comes to the manifestation of viral cultural phenomena. The vehicles for this are extremely limited.

Leftwingers shoehorning Harry Potter analysis into political current events is very different to a trendy, mostly apolitical art collaboration. Right wing analysis within this is mostly, like it has been for everything for a few years, analysis of why the trend has taken off.
It’s brutal and devastating that “read another book” wound up applying to literally everyone. JK Rowling, a britbong boomer single mom, has a complete stranglehold on the entire culture

No, what is happening with Malfoid is something specific and timely.
Replying to @killthedoctors
Ok grandpa. The zoomerwaffen want Hermione to be a boy and a nonbinary Ron. You wouldn't get it

Malfoid is a cultural reclamation project using a piece of timely popular media which the Left has abandoned. Poasters are participating in spontaneous collaboration prompted around fixing a childhood IP that many find or found disappointing in some key aspects.
A decade ago, the Online Right mocked libs for constantly relying on Harry Potter to describe political events. Now the Online Right can't stop talking about how they wish Draco Malfoy were a girl and dating them. How the hell did we get here?

The story is written from the human and elf perspective. Sympathizing with something trying to kill you is retarded and there is no room for sympathy in-universe. If you want another "Are the predators of humanity really even bad?!?" cliche watch Parasyte or Tokyo Ghoul.
Demons in Freiren are annoying because how they’re portrayed in the story brings up the question if predators are inherently evil for hunting prey and instead of saying or doing anything with that the show opts to treat them like orcs from lord of the rings.

A lot of ppl are missing the real moral of the Cornell 7 story which is that women shouldn’t go to college
