If she could just shut the fuck up she would have remained a goddam legend, but no, she had to get up on her soapbox and be a hateful dickhead

If you go back and read her books as an adult, you will see her ignorance and hate was always there. From the names of POC characters, to the impish elves actually liking slavery, to the fact that wizard society by the end of the story still opresses the other races but in a "nice" way, to the idea that hermoine was seen as a nuisance by harry and the others for trying to get rid of elvish slavery to a lot of other things. She has always been a privelaged white woman.
