It says a lot that so many people need to filter their worldview through child-oriented fiction. Saying shit like “Of course Hermione is an intersectional feminist” or “Steven Universe is a great way to show how racism is evil” as a fucking adult is disgusting to me. It shows a disturbing unwillingness to engage with the very real human beings that are affected by social injustices.
Social, political, and cultural awareness digested only through fiction isn’t “wokeness”. It means you’re only willing to swallow the most palatable distillation of nuanced issues and also that you are unwilling to recognize the humanity of the people hurt by the issues you are supposedly so steadfastly against. If you love reading so much then fucking educate yourself, instead of comparing Trump and Voldemort in hopes of filling up that pathetic cracked shell you call an interior.
WHEW
