Jon dismissing a seven year old as "insipid" moments after fanboying over Jamie Lannister will never not be funny to me.

Everything about this is absolutely vile--the verbal dissection of this man's body, the invasive commentary on his genitals, the sense of entitlement to his sexuality and private life, the implication that he's failed to achieve the "design" of his anatomy. All of it is both deeply disturbing and highly instructive for how she thinks of bodies, and hy extention for her transphobia. But I think most telling of all is that she thinks this is something that "most people" think.

Rowling thinks that the predatory, proprietorial, dehumanizing way she looks at bodies, and especially at trans, fat, disabled or otherwise "abberant" (in her mind) bodies, *is completely normal.*

"Oh dang, I'm on the personal shitlist of the mightiest Rogue Trader in the Expanse? Queen of a dozen worlds and a hundred ships? Appointed represent of the Lord Inquisitor? A woman who eats brains out of the still-living skulls of her enemies? Wellp, better roll up my sleeves and Okay Corral this motherfucker."

Tocara's certainly not a good man, and I don't know if I can even call him a likeable one. But damn, he must have commissioned the Kasballica for some gigantic xenotech balls, because my boy just *does not* back down.
