I've heard that the first series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians is good. I've heard mixed things about the later series's.

Dumbledore being gay is kind of shockingly based. Dumbledore's homosexual relationship with Grindelwald turns Dumbledore evil and causes all sorts of problems, ending in the death of Dumbledore's sister. It's only when Dumbledore becomes celibate and focusses on other pursuits, that he becomes a force for good.

I'm sure that wasn't Rowling's intention, though.

So that whole "well I'm fine because I moved out to the country where all my neighbors drive lifted jeeps and fly Trump flags" doesn't mean a damn thing in the end.

It's not an endgame strategy, but it's hardly useless. Consider it a tactical retreat. It's better to be surrounded by like-minded individuals, who are less likely to rat you out to the authorities for some minor infraction or wrongthink opinion. It is wise to fortify yourself with those who share your values.

I agree that it's naïve to say, "I'll just move to the country and will be safe from all of this Bolshevik crap." But, it's also naïve to say, "I can just stay in this area filled with my enemies, who are becoming increasingly radicalized, because it was previously safe to do so."

Until people call them terrorists, then it's "property damage." Leftists are masters of the motte-and-bailey.

I'm old enough to remember plastic bags being encouraged over paper bags to "save the trees."

Leftists: Insist that Kiev be pronounced "Keev," while changing the English spelling to be more conducive to the "Kee-ev" pronunciation.

But the trans trend is disproportionately pushed by Jews. Checkmate.

Another option is competitive appstores. I already use F-Droid for most of my app downloads, because most of the apps I use are open source. Naturally that specific store might not appeal to everyone, there is a vacuum forming in the Android app market.

So why in the fuck would someone who wants a MALE body decide to commit the most BIOLOGICALLY FEMALE THING THAT EXISTS and get pregnant/give birth? I don't understand how anyone would want a child that badly.

I think that it begs the question, what exactly does this person think a woman is?

It's not their time yet. When trans and pedo acceptance become mainstream, they'll be the next cause du jour.

We also don't have an epidemic of children suddenly deciding that they're Italian and demanding extensive cosmetic procedures to make themselves appear more Italian.

Not to mention, Rowling was heavily involved in casting the films. If she envisioned Hermione as black, they wouldn't have cast Emma Watson.

In my experience, living in a place that recently re-instated mask mandates for a short time, less and less people complied. Sure, the majority put their masks back on, but there was a sizable minority that refused. I saw far more people without masks, than I did during the first mask mandates.

My big complaint with Yandex is gives a lot of Russian-language results, even when you have it set to English.

I used to love TV Tropes back in the day. As a writer, I loved how it explored the use and purpose of tropes, rather than dismissing them all as "clichés," like my English teachers did.

Then, they removed all of the tropes about rape, with the claim that it was driving away advertisers. Bear in mind, this was in 2012, before wokeness had hit critical mass. The rape tropes were reinstated later, but the writing was on the wall.

I love the original anime, and The End of Evangelion. The manga was good too, though I didn't agree with all the changes that it made. It's definitely not for everyone, though. Hideaki Anno, himself, was shocked that it had any success outside of Japan, as he thought the story was too dependent on the Japanese culture to succeed elsewhere.

I could not get into Rebuild when I tried, but I may give it another shot now that its finished.

Destroying our cultural touchstones is the goal. It's the only way that any of this makes sense. It can't be about profit in the normal sense, as most of these projects fail. If it is about money, these companies must be getting money from a nontraditional source.

The sheer number of franchises and properties destroyed by woke leftism is a little staggering. It includes: Star Trek, Star Wars, Dr. Who, Marvel, DC, He-Man, Lord of the Rings, Mass Effect, Terminator, Ghostbusters, James Bond, Watchmen, Assassin's Creed, Last of Us, and Halo. That list isn't even near exhaustive, by the way. There are far more that didn't come to mind at the moment.
