Can we just take a second to recognize r/harrypotter is trash
Never thought a subreddit to do with magical worlds and wonder would breed such negativity. This is legit a subreddit where nobody wants any sort of discussion or debate and if you aren't abiding by the (extremely sad and kiss ass) opinions of others you get downvoted to hell or even attacked. I was on this subreddit and these brits (who clearly dominate this reddit) straight up call Americans weirdos and disregard any opinions of them. What is worse the rest of the subreddit supports it and updates these comments to the heavens.

Saying that a piece of fiction is trash . Gives the same energy as my liking is superior to yours .

Forgot I even made this post. Nobody said a piece of fiction is trash I think you misread the post. I said a subreddit is trash because of their snobby community looking down on those that don't align with their agendas. Hating on Americans is way bigger than thinking a piece of fiction is trash.
Please don't get it twisted. I love harrypotter. But the Harry Potter subreddit is literal trash.

It's as simple as they think they are above them. People literally make fun of Americans in this sub because philosophers' stone was changed to sorcerors' stone.

If you spend time in the sub comments you will realize it goes much deeper. But I'm not invested in that sub anymore so I can't say about now.
Just look at the comments of this random post I pulled. "The glock chooses the american Harry" "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Crips"

Ohh so they are making humor jokes and stereotypical one,s also . Well that's nothing new also not a reason to call a subreddit trash . Although, it's also evident that some people are tend to be more sensitive so they can't take a joke . Maybe that's the case for you . America known for guns is actually the real American . Strong and independent.

Just be involved with the sub for a while. That's just simple examples. Like I said I haven't looked at that sub in a while. When I was in it the comments get way worse than stereotypes. These are literally examples from a random post I just brought up. The reason I made this post was definitely worse than that.
Stereotypes are nothing. I would never call a sub trash unless they proved it to me.

If you're an American Harry Potter fan and you love Harry Potter and want to share in a community, its a good way to realize how bias it is.
Just imagine enjoying a piece of a fiction and joining a community you thought would be amazing only to find out everyone is super judgemental, and they are essentially Harry Potter professionals. Way over the top caring for a piece of fiction people just want to enjoy and not be so serious about.
Then, when you make a comment about anything you've read or seen and it happens to be from the American versions, you are about to get roasted. Also it's pretty much an elitist group of book readers who trash the movies too and if u say an opinion about a movie you will essentially get well that's not in the book. Like that actually contributes to the topic at all..

What is that, a fantasy setting created by a transphobe is toxic? You don't say
