  • I’d like to see a comedy where the Snow White story is playing out but the dwarves and woodland beings all choose Terry Crews. He’s like, “Nah guys. I’m a carpenter. I think you’ve got the wrong person.”. But they aren’t hearing it and strongarm Terry into the role. The evil queen is the only other person to get it and they have to team to to fix the story.



  • Their only value is for loans and credit.

    Incorrect. But let’s assume you are. This means you cannot: Buy a house, buy a car, take out a loan, get a credit card. For expanded uses, you cannot potentially: keep a credit card, rent a car, rent a home, get a job. Credit scores are made up bullshit invented in the 80s to hurt poor people. But they are still used to, get this, hurt poor people. Rich people don’t have credit scores because they have collateral for all their loans that’s a lot more liquid than a house.

    The issue is that wizards can instantly wage a guerilla war. All it takes is Muggle Studies being taken seriously and integration in muggle society. Then it’s impossible to identify them. Wandless magic could be a focus to be certain you’re never carrying an identifying marker.

    Then the wizards don’t need to attack. They can destabilize the economy by duplicating money, precious resources, etc. These will deteriorate eventually but cause chaos and devalue the economy for a time. Imagine taking a $100 bill and just duplicating it to prop up your car-wash business as a front. But that’s baby-level chicanery.

    The real sauce is the mind-control. Imperio (who cares if it’s unforgivable when you’re at war?) and more importantly the Memory Charm and False Memory spells. Let’s just get in there, stun a very important person (start low, work up) and insert the memories you need to get them to act accordingly. Remove the memories of that transaction and boom! Access to the most powerful people in the world and the ability to influence them. Now a wizard has their finger (remotely) on the nuclear button!

    Seriously. Voldemort was an idiot. He used basic terror tactics for years and the only reason he wasn’t killed quickly was because Magical Britian was written to be as stupid as possible because Rowling was writing a children’s story about incompetent leaders.

    Anthropomorphic animals have been a staple since Disney and freaking Aesop! 600BCE. People labeling it all the same as people who have a fursona are really weird.

    It seems like this is what the bigots and outrage enthusiasts have latched into since they’ve been thoroughly shunned for hating other demographics (trans people most recently). It seems like it’s getting more posts recently.
