That’s what I just said, you’re agreeing with me

I just don’t think anyone can discount a trend that had previously ambivalent readers waiting in line for 700 page books lol. Nothing else came close in that regard. Now one could argue those same kids read every Harry Potter book and nothing after and since 😂 but yeah

I said contemporary for a reason. For kids who are already heavy readers (I was too) it’s easy to read older books or get into some classics. HP was unique in that they were very lengthy, moderate reading level books that were also super modern and appealing to kids who didn’t like to read

lol why do white people do this

I’m surprised at how many people said they thought he was dead. They aren’t being sent to death. They are very valuable prisoners for Trump to use for his propaganda and for El Salvador to use as labor. Deaths will happen at Guantanamo

Are y’all illiterate lol

It wasn’t YA, it was middle grade. The later books were YA as the characters aged but 1-3 at the time it didn’t have much contemporary competition. The authors you mention are more older YA to adult

No ten year old reading a 700 page book for fun is borderline illiterate

Cause they were children who weren’t watching online breakdowns, just engaged in a very classic story with more in depth world building than was often available for that age group.

They were literally kids books. Specifically middle grade, so it’s kinda crazy to say a 700 page book for a 10 year old is for the “borderline illiterate” 🧐

You can be deported with no reason given at all. That’s irrelevant. My point was that you were wrong saying it isn’t free speech. It is.

According to who? And actually yes, hate speech is free speech in the US. That’s why we can’t be jailed for it.

Literally no one cares
