On Hermione (part 2)

sarahannieanne:

All the racists are out for Hermione. Some of the comments I’m seeing are ridiculous. But I’m seeing this a lot: this shit made me see red.

“There’s no continuity.”

Continuity? Are you having a fucking laugh??????

There’s no continuity between the books and the movies. Hermione is supposed have buck teeth. Ron is supposed to be six feet tall. Harry’s supposed to be skinny like a bean poll. The Patil twins are supposed to be in different houses. Neville is Blonde. Where’s Winky? Where’s Dumbledore’s backstory about his family? Why is Ron’s character completely different? What happened to fucking Spew?

And fuck, even the movies have no continuity. Hogwarts changes location after movie two. Sirius’ mirrior is introduced with no backstory. Lavender Brown changes race in movie six (you didn’t give a shit about that). Percy becomes a pro fudge twat with no explanation. Dementors suddenly develop the ability to grab people by the throat in movie five. Charlie Weasley appears in movie three and disappears from the earth. Why wasn’t Oliver Wood in movie 3?

Why does the theatre play have to have continuity with the movies? Why? Why is that? Why do the movies get to monopolise the story?

And furthermore-why does a black Hermione mean there’s no continuity? She’s Hermione. Hermione is still there. Her back story and all the stuff that happens in books 1-7 is still there. Her race does not define her. What is it about the sight of a black person that makes you think this isn’t the same story?

“I’m so used to seeing Emma Watson play Hermione. It’s confusing”

What? What The bloody hell are you on about? Emma Watson doesn’t play Hermione anymore. Emma Watson has moved on with her life. Emma Watson is 100% supportive of Noma playing Hermione. What is it about your brain that finds it confusing to see somebody else play Hermione? Do you find James Bond confusing everytime somebody new steps in to play the role? When a new Doctor Who gets cast do you throw your TV away because you’re confused? When Rocky Horror started on Broadway did you throw away your ticket because somebody else was playing Janet and Frank?

“She looks nothing like Emma.”

Of course she doesn’t you buck eejit. She’s. not. Emma. Watson.

Do you realise that there is a book Hermione? Because Emma Watson is nothing like her. Emma is a babe; Hermione is plain. Book Hermione is a little hysterical at times; she’s also ten times more obnoxious. Also, fun fact, Harry in the movies is nothing like book Harry. In the books, Harry is supposed to be small and super skinny; Dan Radcliffe is built like a brick shit house.

Why is Emma Watson the ultimate Hermione? Why? Why does she get to define the role?

Hermione isn’t real, OK? Like, she doesn’t exist. She’s fictional.

“She doesn’t look British.”

Boy, do I have some bad news for you: black people are British. They exist. They’ve been in Britain since the time of Queen Elizabeth I and before that. Go look up Sir Trevor McDonald; he’s the most British person ever.

“Why is it racist when white actors play black people and not when black people play white people?”

You need to 1. go to google. 2. Do some research on whitewashing. Come back when you’re done.

“This is so hard for me to accept.”

Boo hoo.

“It’s just weird.”

“It doesn’t make any sense.”

There is nothing weird about this at all. This is the epitome of not weird. Your reaction, on the other hand, is insane.

I am done
