PC Principal V: What The Fuck Am I Reading

[Mertron]

um exCUSE me but did you just assume the definition of my words???

[Andalusian girls]

Wait, is that how that works? Unless there's some lore I missed somewhere (I'm not a diehard fan) I aways figured Nagini was always a snake and Riddle/Voldemort killed someone to make it into a horcrux. Was there something that made Nagini an animagus that can't change back into a human?

Rowling is stating it's a new kind of thang, a maledictus. person with a hereditary curse that lets the carrier switch back and forth between animal like an animagus but results in the carrier becoming permanently stuck in animal form eventually. tragic back story for the big murder snake lesgoo

[Zetanio]

how tragic.

Yall carrying on about this for a couple of pages with just a I heard this no links let me get you fams cause there is even more silliness to unpack

JK Rowling defends Nagini casting in Fantastic Beasts

JK Rowling has defended the casting of a Korean actress as Voldemort's snake Nagini in the Fantastic Beasts sequel.

The latest trailer has revealed Claudia Kim as Nagini and sees her transform into a snake.

Some have criticised the fact the only Asian actor in the cast plays a reptile that is a villain's slave.

But JK Rowling tweeted that Nagini is based on "the Naga", which are "snake-like mythical creatures of Indonesian mythology."

She added: "They are sometimes depicted as winged, sometimes as half-human, half-snake. Indonesia comprises a few hundred ethnic groups, including Javanese, Chinese and Betawi."


Another fan felt it played into the representation of Asian people as "peripheral in a white-centric world" and "Asian women exist to mainly serve white men's interests."

Rowling, who is a producer on Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, intimated the casting had not been an afterthought.

She said she had been keeping the fact that Nagini was really a Maledictus - a female who had been turned into a beast due to a curse - a secret for twenty years.

The Fantastic Beasts sequel has already caused controversy for its casting of Johnny Depp as Grindelwald, after he was accused of domestic abuse - claims he denied.

JK Rowling said she was "happy" about his casting.

The film will also feature Jude Law as young Dumbledore. JK Rowling has said in the past that Dumbledore is gay but the film's director David Yates has upset some fans by saying that he will not be "explicitly" gay in the new film.

I'm going to on record saying guessing that she's going to be Voldemort's first love... unless that was already covered in that follow up screen play/book thinger.

[Andalusian girls]

in the books Dumbledore does say something to the effect of, 'i think he is as fond of her as he can be of anything'. think the Fantastic Beasts series is going to end with Dumbledore v Grindelwald tho not sure we'll get into how Tom hooked up with snake lady.

Tennessee High School Athletic Director Explains the New Dress Code is Because "Girls Ruin Everything"

Hensley has been placed on leave from Soddy-Daisy High School for molding the young minds of Tennessee with the notion that girls ruin everything. He was explaining why athletic shorts are no longer acceptable under the dress code.

“It’ll be that way until the end of time; get used to it,” he said.

“The fact that they’re coming from an educator is bad enough, but the fact that they’re coming from a man in a position of power is even worse. These remarks are blatantly sexist and misogynistic,” Natalie Green, the mother of a student, tells the Chattanooga Times Free Press. “And do nothing but perpetuate victim-blaming and reinforce the rape culture that is so insidiously ingrained in our society.”

Where the lie though?

[NynJa]

Sooo just to be sure, by athletic shorts they mean shorts so short that half the girls booty is hanging out?

The clothing I see of college girls coming through my work is insane. It's like a mixture of 90's mom jeans HIKED above their belly button but with no ass or vag coverage. It's very interesting

[Zetanio]

It's cyclical. We are back in the 90's nightmare clothing phase.

[Anoat]

I live in a college town and I see it whenever I leave the house. The mom jean shorts has been a thing for at least 5 years now. I could tell you that I get tired of it, but I never do. I mean it looks hideous but I appreciate the show.

You too

Spoiler: show

I couldnt do that with a straight face despite my best efforts. I dont know how people who honestly come to that conclusion pull it off.

[Cail]

My work covers 5 colleges including Yale. All kinds of crazy clothing out there these days

Beating up on J.K. Rowling seems to be everyone's new favorite past time. Supposedly now due to a couple of tweets she's made, she's transphobic, and now also anti semantic due to Goblins in the books being portrayed as negative Jewish Stereotypes. Had to explain to someone that goblins have been portrayed like that in fantasy universes long before J.K. Rowling was even born, still fell on death ears.

[Zealot]

Aren't they the anti-Semitic ones, assuming the bankers are Jews?
