Has there ever been a more hilarious rift in a fanbase than the Harry Potter franchise? It seems worse than the rift that Star Trek TNG or the SW prequels created. We've got millions of HP fans claiming that the books' author is no longer the creator. Even the actors in the movies who only got famous because of the HP series have turned on Rowling, but the property still makes billions.
So I ask, has there ever been a more hilarious rift in a fanbase than the Harry Potter franchise?
The Last Airbender one is pretty funny but obviously not as big. Manchildren and women who love the original children's cartoon cannot accept any addition to the material because it isn't le cute 11 year old will they won't they romance
Never watched, but do you mean how they made a main character a lesbian in the follow-up?
Avatar the Last Airbender is very generic and safe and simple, so anything different enrages fans.
There’s a comic that goes on after the original show and apparently it sucks.
Korra-shitters just can't stop coping
>universe changes that make bending less interesting
>boring characters
>boring villains
>moronic protagonist that fails at damn near everything
It's shit. I never read the comments so I can't speak on them.
bruh, avatar was never good. it just pegged a specific demographic.
I’m with you except the villains. The bad guys were easily the best part. They just pussied out of ever actually showing why they were wrong and had them kill a puppy or something instead.
Amon was good except for his the "twist".
Unalaq was shit because of the story telling
Henry Rollins was great
Kuvira was a basically a robot and boring
No. The divide between original and LoK fans is whether LoK lives up the original. Because it was originally planned for one season, shoved full of poorly thought out politics it has problems.
HP Fans merely don't want to support JK anymore, while still loving the books. Then there are her rabid supporters who insists she did not actually insult trannies. The middle ground is accepting she says stupid things but still paying for her shit.
...and yes shit because her recently-written movies aren't good.
Except what she said isn't stupid. The genuine middle ground is realizing she's right but she's a hypocrite who advocates for bringing in refugees but doesn't house any of them in one of her many mansions.
She never said anything wrong. Like, even for normie standards it shouldnt have been considered that bad, its just that trannies are a fricking cult. She literally just said that its important to watch out for bio-woman's right and the fricking zealots went insane.
>Have Mai cuck Zuko with a literal who when she was shown to be head-over-heels for him
>Somehow expect fans to like this
I was confused at how fricking weird the LAst Airbender comics are but when the writer was revealed to some autist with a hateboner for Zuko it made sense
Dyke cope
Can confirm. Frick Korra.
it's more just that LoK and the comics suck ass
Soul bending, have a nice day
Korra and the Comics are mostly shit, whereas the original show is mostly pretty good. Cope
>the original show: entertainment
>the sequel show: gay propaganda
Wow, I wonder why people were pissed off?
Aang and Toph are objectively better characters than anybody in Korraverse
The entire main cast of the Gaang is better than anyone they introduce in Korra, except maybe Tenzin who is probably held in higher regard than he should because JK Simmons is such a good voice actor.
>the pic
Comic book writers should be strung up from street lamps
>Zoomer moron says “It’s problematic.”
>Instead of engaging with obvious mental illness. Based Nightwing scoffs and ignores it and acts like nothing happened rather than cause a confrontation.
It sounds pretty based to me, anon.
>scoffs and ignores it and acts like nothing happened rather than cause a confrontation.
That's how they got into the position they are now, by having enough people just minding their bussiness to not upset them or get into trouble.
Don't be like Nightwing
be like the drunken brazilian in the middle of a feminist march.
or..
>No one laughed because it just wasn't funny
>The homosexual in the back injects context and says "we"
>The based kids cringe and try not to laugh
>Nightwing notices and trys not to single out the homosexual any more than he's already singled himself out.
>That's how they got into the position they are now, by having enough people just minding their bussiness to not upset them or get into trouble.
Lol no. You /misc/Black folk constanlty talking about them and shining a spotlight on them is how it got this bad. If you homosexuals had just ignored these losers, they'd have offed themselves before anybody even knew they existed.
>Lol no. You /misc/Black folk constanlty talking about them and shining a spotlight on them is how it got this bad.
>Le /misc/ boogeyman
>Telling half truths at best and blatant lies at worse
There are countries where there was no equivalent to the /misc/Black folk and this shit has sprouted anyways and even with less resistance. Don't fricking try to sell me the "nobody would have listened to them" bullshit because the fact that a few weirdos on a basket weaving forum managed to take notice of it means that it has been already listened by a good amount of people.
Sounds like a conservative, and all conservatives do is lose
>thank you for correcting me. I was unaware that this was no longer acceptable. I was clearly wrong and offensive and will be correcting my behavior
frick comics, man
Sounded like sarcasm to me.
is that really a rift though? rowling isn't israeli so of course they're trying to cut her out.
The HP books were very much molded into a labour left experience of fighting against blood-supremacist rich people (Tories...).
However, JK's views aren't enough for the modern left. She is against racism but she has no problem shitting on trans people.
did you know that social politics aren't real? that "the modern left" is a fabrication by multinational corporations designed to confuse people into supporting their continued dominion?
>However, JK's views aren't enough for the modern left. She is against racism but she has no problem shitting on trans people.
She didn't even 'shit on' trannies: all she did was say the obvious truth: that there's more to being a woman than dressing like one and adopting their pronouns.
The left makes all sorts of noises over the validity of "lived experiences" in every other area. Its the key to Critical Race Theory that says if a black lady is pulled over by a black cop for doing 80mph in a school zone, then her lived experiences of cop racism trump the objective truth of the matter that she was going to get some kids killed.
EXCEPT you can take a 30 year old white male incel who has lived a life of male privilege and violence against women, slap a dress on his balding ass, and suddenly he has just as much validity towards womanhood as a real women who spent her entire life having to deal with incel buttholes like this guy. It makes zero sense. Identitarian progressivism is illogical and self-contradictory.
Never mind the claim that gender is binary while at the same time trans is built on top of the notion of a very binary gender concept. "I'm a transwoman because I like to wear dresses and like the color pink", b***h thats blindingly regressive.
>the left
stopped reading right there.
Keep seething, terf. Incels are better women than women. Deal with it
HP is a kids' version of a typical Bruce Willis movie
Guy has his family killed, deals with inefficient and slow bureaucracy that at moments sabotages his attempts to revenge, and ultimately creates his own private militia to slay his parents' killer
I'd say it's also wish fulfilment/JK's cope
Bullied, abused kid finds out his special and heir to a decent fortune. Learns magic defeats other bullies and the house full of rich private school bullies LITERALLY by last-minute favouritism one year.
heh, that's actually a pretty funny comparison
I hope they don't pressure her into selling
>”If you little shits think that was problematic, let me introduce you to my guy Deathstroke and have him tell you about his love life.”
when was the last time kids got hyped for a new book series? Is there any book series zoomers love that came out in their lifetime and wasn't just recycled from the previous generation?
Hunger Games
Books don’t age/date as fast as tv so you don’t need a new series every 5 years, when you can still read Ronald Daul as a 9 year old today
Kids read manga and watch anime now. Comic books have been extinct for decades, anybody posting comic book pages need a disclaimer telling you that the artist and writer work part time jobs because the industry is on life support.
Nothing pleases me more that the manga industry is wiping its ass with le woke comics.
It's more terrifying to see these fricking freaks, who are all white fat bald men in their 40s, working at hardware store and spending their own money to keep their comic book business afloat only to make a lgbt racially diverse avengers story to appeal to absolutely nobody in the most time deaf attempts to cash in on a movement for minorities that he doesn't understand
This is a specific example because it shocked me. These idiots are just, so persistent to be so fricking bad. It's not even like they get any recognition, they just have this weird obsession with doing the wrong ting over and over even when it makes no financial sense.
the problem is they need people to believe in magic to think changing genders is possible.
>gender roles are a social construct
>disobeying them is impossible
john money's output becomes completely laughable if you add the word "roles" to every instance of gender.
What stupid ass writers does Marvel employ?
And it should've been Luna.
>Marvel
Frick me, it's DC, right?
yes, warner has owned dc since the 60s and made the harry potter movies.
>Luna
Josh Luna?
Konichiwa, dude!
>We've got millions of HP fans claiming that the books' author is no longer the creator.
Those fans aren't real fans.
I never understood JL Rowling.
She claims to be a leftist.
She goes out of her way to make Dumbledore gay and call anyone homophobic if they don’t like it.
She goes out of her way to retcon Hermione into being black.
She protests Brexit.
Yet transexuals are too much for her?
Couldn’t she just pretend to like Trans or just not talk about them?
Why throw away all your liberal privilege?
She’s just crazy. It is like how Frank Miller is a Democrat when it comes to everything but hated Muslims for 9/11. People like them lose their minds.
You're being very reductive here by typecasting her as "a liberal" or "just crazy", and that's pretty gay. The whole situation is hilarious because she has historically been pretty supportive of the whole trans movement, but the moment she dared to say that the experience of growing up as a woman is a distinctly "born as woman" thing, suddenly that crowd wanted to eat her alive. Frankly, she was being 100% rational and even well-meaning with her comment, but because it didn't line up wholly with the trans community's fantasy, she was killed for it.
And THAT'S why doing the typical /misc/ thing of lumping everyone you don't like into one big group is stupid here. This is an example of two distinctly liberal idealogies clashing against each other, and it shows just how much the trans movement is merely "tolerated" by the other members of these groups.
Liberals and Feminists have huge egos and think they are always right. J. k. thinks that since she is a liberal, that hating trannies makes her right and isn’t against her belief system.
Today's liberals are tomorrow's conservatives. Everyone has a point where they'll say "oh this is too much" but their younger allies will eat them for it because all they know is breaking down restraints.
Because trannies threaten women. It affected her directly, so its bad. Shes just a selfish c**t. Nothing special.
>Yet transexuals are too much for her?
Why tolerate womanface more than blackface?
I want womanface to be a more standard term
Yep
IT IS AMAZING that you think accepting other races and accepting gays is on the same LEVEL as accepting lopping ya dick off and cosplaying as a fcking woman with a 40% suicide rate.
We helped people in the past.
how exactly do we go even further in society to "accept" blacks and gays? they're already vastly overrepresented in colleges, careers, entertainment, media of all kinds, they have whole months of the year devoted to them. they can get married, they can do everything everyone else can if they bust their asses for it like everyone else. please enlighten me as to how we could do more to "accept" them, especially when they clearly hate our guts
we could die for them, that seems to be what they want us to do
Why? It's just as delusional to say the only difference between races is skin colour as it is to say chopping off your dick makes you a woman
You and I both know this isn't true. I can think minorities and gays are lesser than me while still seeing the potential value, that not every black is a hood Black person and not every gay is a raging homosexual or bull dyke. Every troony without exception is extremely mentally ill. There are no good trannies. There are no redeeming qualities with trannies.
>that you think accepting other races and accepting gays is on the same LEVEL as accepting lopping ya dick off and cosplaying as a fcking woman
yeah, it pretty much is
She's a radfem and they're all insane. They hate men, they think all PIV (penis in vegana) sex is rape no matter what and they advocate for sex-based abortions because they will remove future rapists.
Of course they don't want "wolves in sheep clothing" among themselves, at least they're right about that.
shes a woman and therefore 100% selfcentered
shes just clever enough to realize before 99% of the female population what a treat trannies are to them.
its another example of my enemies enemy is not a friend, I just hope they both kill eachother
When push comes to shove trannies and real women are mortal enemies. Women who are totally onboard with everything else often draw a line when it comes to troons, hence TERFs.
>it's problematic and best ignored.
Am I missing something? I don't get that answer.
rowling no accept men play as girl as real girl
rowling bad
I had forgotten about that shit and thought "dark" was the offensive part
If that is the reason it is insane people would think like that and also insane they would put it (written in the way they did and just in general) in a comic.
They don't like jk Rowling's transphobic comments.
kek, when was this shit written
Very recently, it came out last month
> have your entire lore be that ass-ravaged by SJWs
There's nothing to salvage out of Marvel and DC huh?
Leftards don't know how insurances work #275356863
who is he even talking to? who thinks like this?
guess him dressing up as a bat and beating up people is the least of his insanity
>2022 Batman's wouldn't foil a bank robbery because all the bank are insured
>not a single black looter
>Twitter is throwing a fit about some political bullshit
This isn't news. This isn't ever news. Frick twitter.
/tv/'s opinion is worth billions.
Twitter's opinion is worth nothing.
ah of course, they made Hermione BLACK even in a parody
Shingeki no Kyojin with its ending cleft the manga fanbase in two and they still ruin Cinemaphile to this day. Definitely not as open and big as HP though
fandom is always despicable and pathetic
just enjoy shit why be obnoxious and aggressive about it?
>that pic
Who actually reads that fricking shit? Its no wonder Japs are BTFOing the old American comics. I'd rather read the trashiest harem garbage manga than a chapter of that.
When is Dick getting his own movie?
The DCU is shambolic at the moment, I don't see it being any time soon unfortunately. The Titans version of Dick is quite good, just a shame the show is complete shit
