You know you've gone off the deep end when you start thinking of Harry Potter as something that contains intentional political messaging instead of something that overuses convenient off-the-shelf tropes for villains and everything else but manages to tell an engaging tale in spite of it.

In a perfect world, "racism isn't bad" wouldn't be a political message, it would be a common sense belief that everyone shared, but America and plenty of other places are still in a point where that's controversial and significant portions of the voting base are proud of their bigotry.

*is bad.

What a typo to miss...

I think that if you think those tropes are just tropes and not intentional political messaging, then there is no longer any point in discussion with your level of reading comprehension.

> convenient off-the-shelf tropes for villains and everything else

You know how people say 'not making a choice is a choice'? Same thing here.
