Well, I'm sorry it took such drastic measures for him to look into some self-improvement, but at least he took the hint. Not much consolation for the past, but now there's some hope for him.

Whoops, I don't want to make your blood boil!
I just- it's under my skin, itching to burst out like some disgusting X-files Monster of the Week and I need to exorcise it, lol. I know some people go on about how 'don't talk about it if you don't like it', which is rubbish, if they have the right to adore something and babble on with the love, I have the equal right to loathe it and rant along those lines.

I'm definitely disappointed in how she treated females in the books. Really upsetting and completely the opposite of empowering- which is her right, it's just that with HP and Twilight being the biggest franchises in the world, I'm feeling sorry for the generation of girls growing up now and what messages they're absorbing from those books. Ugh. [Twilight, imo, is way more objectionable- but HP is more insidious, because on the surface, all is shiny, and it takes a while for the rot underneath to be realized]
