You know the modlog is public, right?
What a shocker, a reactionary’s “different opinion” turns out to be defending transphobia and calling people mentally ill for pointing out harmful stereotypes.

the words you wrote implied someone would have to be mentally ill in order to see the obvious anti-semitism in rowling’s portrayal of goblins, being as they are essentially the 4chan greedy merchant meme
you can stop lying now

wow really? it couldnt imply racism? why do you jump straight to mental illness? unless you think racism is a mental illness
if you look at a goblin and automatically think “Jewish” you might have a problem
you can stop lying now

i wish we had a “boredly jerking off” emoji bc that’s what this deserves in response

yes that would be true, if that was what was happening here. since you’re obviously incapable of learning this will be a waste of time but here’s some articles talking about the issue

since i know you probably won’t bother i’m just going to quote some relevant bits from the last article
“Critics assert that the goblins, who control Gringotts bank within JK Rowling’s beloved wizarding world, resemble the caricatures depicted in the antisemitic 1903 book, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. […] [T]he goblins’ appearance and profession parallel offensive antisemitic stereotypes such as having large, hooked noses and a particular covetousness for gold and money.
The game also includes a description of a special horn that closely resembles the Jewish shofar, which was used in the lore “during the 1612 Goblin Rebellion to rally troops and generally annoy witches and wizards,”
Critics were quick to also note that, coincidentally or not, the year 1612 coincides with The Fettmilch Uprising, a Jewish pogrom in Germany in which Jews were expelled from the city of Frankfurt. Although the uprising first began in 1612, Jews were only actually expelled in 1614.”
