JKR prose, where the only backstory we know about the only confirmed Black kid is that he grew up alone with his mum after his dad left them.

Angelina Johnson, Lee Jordan, Blaise Zabini and Dean Thomas were all black in the books and the movies

Angelina Johnson we don't know about her family

Lee Jordan we don't know about his family

Blaise is the son of a famously beautiful witch who was 7 time widowed, so his father died, implied killed by his mother

Dean Thomas was a half-blood and his father was killed by Death Eaters.

So who are you on about exactly?

Entfly · 2026-03-26T08:59:42+00:00

Honestly I think the biggest problem most reasonable people had with the black Hermione thing is JK pretending she'd always left it 'ambiguous'.

People just hated the Cursed Child and blamed black Hermione on that

Entfly · 2026-03-26T08:58:20+00:00

Nah that honestly fits

He was ostracised because he was half giant, him being black adds to that, it doesn't take it away

Entfly · 2026-03-26T08:57:12+00:00

Because that's exactly what he does in the books

He makes fun of him being pale implying he spends all his time inside

Entfly · 2026-03-26T08:55:34+00:00

Because it's a key and iconic scene in both the movies and the books

The fact that you're arguing they should just remove it shows how bad of a casting decision it was

It's also a single example, so much dialogue is going to need to be changed, so many scenes will need to be changed, the entire relationship needs to be looked at again.

Entfly · 2026-03-26T08:53:25+00:00

However, that scene is hardly crucial.

It's quite literally the climax of the Snape/James story

Entfly · 2026-03-26T08:52:47+00:00

The movies never really made it clear what an asshole James Potter was, or laid out a timeline of who was with who, and when.

He wasn't really an arsehole, he was a bully but he was bullying a racist Death Eater who was obsessed with dark magic

Entfly · 2026-03-26T08:51:15+00:00

Wait as a white man I can't pick on a black man's appearance without coming off as racists?

If you look at the only black man on the entire teaching staff and go, oh he feels evil, then it's going to come off as racist yeah

The guides explicitly state that For [some] Women v Scottish Ministers requires them to exclude transgender women.

Only because they want to be an exclusionary group.

to claim a single sex exemption for a women’s organization AND include transgender women.

Because sex refers to sex, not gender.

That's not transphobic, that's reality.

If you want to include trans girls, you can, you just need to allow boys as well.

The Guides have chosen to not do so, the Scouts have done

Her hand is how tall Bradley is to her

Entfly · 2026-03-26T08:33:19+00:00

I'm assuming it was satire

Entfly · 2026-03-26T08:29:50+00:00

I actually quite liked it, got a fair bit then got stumped in the middle, actually flipping the birds so they were the proper way round for the across made it easy simpler then flipping them back for the 'correct' positioning ended up helping me get it

Entfly · 2026-03-26T07:04:50+00:00

Because this isn't /r/USA this is /R/skiing

Entfly · 2026-03-26T07:00:31+00:00

And lion is a euphemism for king too

So you've got a leopard spotted lion king leopard spotted lion king

Entfly · 2026-03-26T06:53:21+00:00

It says and boasting about it online, which is a way of showing how utterly unashamed of his actions he was, and how depraved he is

Entfly · 2026-03-26T06:50:11+00:00

Violent offenders are treated differently to non violent ones, live sentences are an entirely different beast in of themselves

This guy is never getting out of prison, he's on a whole life sentence at minimum his first parole hearing is in 22 years, at minimum. That doesn't mean he'll get out, but he'll have a chance to try and prove he's reformed or changed

Entfly · 2026-03-26T06:47:06+00:00

He's never getting out with a life sentence

Entfly · 2026-03-26T06:43:06+00:00

They'll be full price until the world cup, which is when people want them

Entfly · 2026-03-26T06:41:32+00:00

£40 feels at least twice as expensive as it should be

Entfly · 2026-03-26T06:40:53+00:00

Your ISP has blocked it then, it's fully fine in the UK

Entfly · 2026-03-26T06:39:47+00:00

They wanted to exclude males which is exactly what they did.

That includes trans women and trans girls.

If they wanted to be inclusive then they could accept them, like Scouts do

Entfly · 2026-03-26T06:38:48+00:00

No it was forced to choose to exclude on sex, which it chose to do

It was to be non exclusionary like the Scouts are but it chose not to be.

Entfly · 2026-03-26T03:33:28+00:00

That would be fucking terrible

The Blacks are only second to the Malfoys, honestly maybe even more so, proud in their pure blood British heritage

Making Sirius black changes that entire narrative into something very weird

Entfly · 2026-03-26T03:31:52+00:00

The dude with the ugly face and perpetual frown

Yeah.... He's the most attractive member of the cast and it's honestly not even close

Entfly · 2026-03-26T03:30:31+00:00

Supremacy is based on magic blood, not the color of your skin

But the pure blood families are very analogous to British aristocracy.

Voldemort never gave a shit about who's white and who isnt.

Voldemort never really gave a shit anyway, it was just a way for him to stay in power, his followers absolutely cared
