Brain Flotsam V2.007

It's one of the wonders of life as a fan that one can be totally invested, immersed, and enchanted by a world and a few character moments while still agreeing with the larger thematic difficulties and ridiculous premises exposed by reviews/rants like this one.
His most recent rant about race in fantasy fiction is also very good.

FerretBrain: What The Fucking Fucking Fuck JK Rowling?:

Unless you've been distracted by little trivial details like the disintegration of Afghanistan and the US Presidential election, you're probably aware that JK Rowling announced some months ago that Dumbledore Is Gay.

Okay, fine, whatever you say you stupid, sanctimonious hack. Dumbledore's gay, I'll file that with "Harry is a Hero" and "It's all about choices" under "Shit I've been told about Harry Potter which is totally unsupported by the text".
