[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 14 points 5 months ago (1 child) That's the joke. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 5 months ago* (5 children) The joke is that JK Rowling names her characters offensively. I've seen this done before with multiple non-existent examples. This one also uses a Japanese example. My point is that JK Rowling already named an Asian character offensively. She also has an Irish kid named Seamus that loves blowing stuff up, and a black man named Shacklebolt. All I'm saying is the joke is now distracting from the source, because there is a real example of using her naming conventions on Asian characters. I'll also say that we don't actually know Cho's nationality, yet I don't have faith in JK Rowling to distinguish between non-European nationalities. Of course, the longer I talk about it the less funny everything becomes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [+] TheSeveralJourneysOfReemus@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 5 months ago* Some fantasy is heightened by that, though.

JK Rowling's strategy of adding lore via halfassed Twitter replies may have a bit less thought involved, though. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 months ago (1 child) I am normally used to high fantasy where the worldbuilding makes sense, but harry potter just flows like she thought of what could come next, and that’s it. Just a quick reminder that she designed Quidditch specifically in a way that would infuriate any person even remotely familiar with how sports games work, because she wanted to "bet back at" a guy who dumped her. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] TheSeveralJourneysOfReemus@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago Sergay Lovecock would make for a badass porn name though permalink fedilink source parent [–] Hozerkiller@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 months ago (1 child) Rowling is a diverse writer who can make multiple offensive asian characters. Yes she has a generic asian character but get ready for hiro and their friends Walla Greataru (China), pungeen Pitt (vietnam), and Ima Eatdog (Korea) who will be diversifying the bigotry in fun new ways along with their rivals Rege Sheepfucker (Wales), Maple Beaverlodge (Canada), and Gitmo Castro (Colombia) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 5 months ago* (1 child) Omg I didn't realize her writing had grown so much!
