And here's another transphobic chud joining the troon extermination army:
Look at him. Look at his face. This man wants blood and he's gonna make the Colorado Springs nightclub shooting look like a fucking picnic.
Quoth Pegg anent P. N. Black: "... he's not a good teacher or Headmaster in any way, ... I don't think he has any interest in children's education, or being in any way a role model."
And this: "He's just a bit of an idiot, really."
And this: "... he's just a self-interested fool."
And this yet: "The lessons I think students—and players—will take from Phineas Nigellus Black is:
don't be like Phineas Nigellus Black. He is not someone to aspire to, he is... a slightly childish figure."
Well damn. Nice way to fuck up, writers for Hogwart's Legacy, and Simon Pegg also. Of all the characters in the Harry Potter books, P. N. Black is arguably one of the most sensible, composed, direct, and trustworthy; and of all that is said, I find the following quote of his particularly prudent.
"
You know, this is precisely why I loathed being a teacher! Young people are so infernally convinced that they are right about everything. Has it not occurred to you, my poor puffed-up popinjay that there might be an excellent reason why the headmaster of Hogwarts is not confiding every tiny detail of his plans to you? Have you never paused, while feeling hard-done-by, to note that following Dumbledore's orders has never yet lead you into harm? No. No, like all young people, you are quite sure that you alone feel and think, you alone recognise danger, you alone are the only one clever enough to realise what the Dark Lord may be planning."
But no, now he his an idiot, a self-interested fool; and woe to any who aspire to be like him. Why is it that some writers, through their own direct actions or via liberties conferred to third parties, seem so damnably intent on raping their own creations years or decades after the fact? Write the damn books then let them be, for god's sake.
