i have to admit there's a part of me that's relieved jk rowling is a monster because i haven't had to politely pretend i like harry potter since then
remember when you had to diplomatically be like "well harry potter is a great book series of course, it's just that [it sucks]"

@heatherhorns oof yeah, that was frustrating
adults being patronising
@heatherhorns I occasionally remember the fact that all the adults around me were like "wow your reading level is several years above other kids your age" (because it was) and then when I stopped reading the 5th HP book and said I thought it was garbage, they all went "oh well I guess you just aren't old enough to understand it yet".
Made me very upset for years.
