I don’t have the books with me, and I see your point about Marge, but I remember the descriptions being generally ugly not masculine; Bellatrix is “gaunt with stringy hair”, and Umbridge is “toad like”. Any more examples? Correlation between attractiveness and goodness is sexist, though.

I think one of the most shocking aspects of Rowling’s anti-trans views are that they seem at odds with the broader themes of acceptance in the book series. The bigots are the bad guys. The Malfoys are conservative and clearly evil.

I’m getting classic Internet nostalgia vibes from blue sky though. Don’t know if it will last, but it’s fun now

I’ll try the other two. As for hollow knight, I don’t think I have the patience even for Metroidvania games anymore. I have to spend 20 minutes to find the green key of whatever? And if I stop the game in a dungeon, I have to start over at the top? I don’t got time for all the backtracking!
