Yeah, Slytherin is just the house for all the evil racist people. A mildly smarter story would turn it into a commentary about traditions that are built on racist foundations, and have the victorious good guys eventually close it down. But the author is okay with it existing, because she's got fucked up Calvinist ideas about morality where you can just put an 11 year old in the nazi club because they were born evil. The wider Harry Potter media machine realized that people love the personality quiz aspect, so they play down the evil and focus on a throwaway line about Slytherin being the house of ambition. The fandom treats it as the house for cool misunderstood goth kids.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
