Miriam Margolyes worried about adults still obsessed with Harry Potter

[Controversiaga 9,242]

she must be so boring at parties.
 

This is actually a harmful thing to say.  There are lots of grown adults who love Disney, who love barbie, who love Superman and bat man and MARVEL and DC universe.  It is totally normal and healthy to be passionate about something and have a hobbie.

let people enjoy what they want.

that being said- I hate jk rolling

How is it *harmful*? She’s lightly roasting them.

Because these kind of comments make people feel like it’s not okay to be an adult but still love what you loved as a child.

im an adult doll collector i collect Barbie and fashion dolls and people love to say ignorant comments just like the ones made by this woman (who I never heard of)

instead, we should normalize and encourage people to embrace their inner child and the things they once loved and you still can love those things.  Let people enjoy what they enjoy and stay out of it if you don’t also enjoy it

arguably as in you’d lose said argument bc there’s nothing for children in lyrics that go like “i want your whiskey mouth all over my blonde south”

The part about childishness isn’t relevant to my point, which was that ppl who laugh at others for having interests should remember they too have interests others would constitute as laughable lol

Harry Potter adults are the same as Disney adults and both groups deserve to be laughed at.

Says the little monster on gagadaily in 2024

were a group worth being laughed at as well then.

no need to be judgment over people you don’t know.

not very kindness punk of you

Why would they need validation from her to like what they like? I get that she’s from the HP movies, but if I were a HP adult and I heard this, I’d shrug it off as a difference of opinion. You don’t need to justify what you like to anyone else, but you also can’t expect that people are always going to be nice to you about it, either.

They don’t need her validation.

but they also don’t need her belittling and unnecessary remarks.

And they also don’t need to assign any weight to her saying it.

This is it. People project their own emotional fragilities on the world too much. Being able to shrug **** off should be aspirational

That’s like saying gay people can just go about pretending homophobia doesn’t exist.

we have every right to call out something that is rude and unnecessary because completely ignoring it won’t make it go away

Wrong. Read above .

This is just enabling bullies and other people to be discriminate and rude and harmful

Eh, those are completely different scenarios and you know that. Miriam Margolyes isn’t advocating for HP adults to lose civil rights, she’s not advocating for them to be outlawed for their interest, she’s not encouraging systematic violence against them. Borderline offensive that you’d make that comparison, tbh.

Nobody is stopping them from enjoying HP ♥️ Also Gaga herself could roast me for being on here and I’d think it was funny asf tbh 

Nobody is stopping them - but they sure are shaming them   And that’s fine- but if you’re gonna laugh at people, don’t expect them to handle that in the same way you would if lady Gaga made fun of you lol some people don’t want to be made to feel ashamed of what they like 

I don’t even like hp or Disney like that but also I don’t find it cute to make fun of people who do

This is just further example of your projection though because you're associating what she said with bullying and discrimination which is too much imo
