Harry Potter = Tool of the Patriarchy
I snagged this from a mouse at wank_report. Report copied verbatim, except for links added.

Kethylia doesn't like Harry Potter.

"No. Shit. It's like Star Wars (another franchise I enjoy only in my most self-hating moments) and ten million other male wish-fulfillment fantasies done over and over again throughout history. What makes Harry Potter especially repulsive is that it was created by a woman, which means, in writing these books, that she is complicit in her own oppression."

Vampirycyoda, a fan of the HP books, says that s/he likes them: "I know, but by the same toekn I know what I like and I like Harry Potter, and Star Wars. I honestly don't think I'd care even if I belived they were harmful. When it comes to etertainment, if I like it, that's all I need to know,"

Kethylia: "So says the guy who looks at the pictures of naked little girls. ^_~ "Harm" is a fascinating issue as well and not always as clear-cut as the layperson thinks it is."

So HP fans are like pedophiles, in a way.

There's also some fascinatingly stupid stuff by someone who thinks that the X chromosome makes you able to understand women.
