Personally it would be in the LN when she calls out her parents for how they treated her just before Takt kills Mirellia. She might be the villain but she had a point
In hindsight, the story didn't show any moments where we're supposed to see Malty as cool or endearing because of the author's bias
Personally, I wouldn't say that nobody would be that callous towards their family, but it's really rare and, in fiction, only the worst villains would treat their daughter the way Mirellia treats Malty
Personally, it'd be the Fiend in books 5-6, where he's simultaneously scary, calculating and superficially charming, trying to lure Tom to the Dark.
And the Bane too because I find him interesting (he's the only Old God to have ended up as a demon because of his imprisonment and was trying to re-ascend to his old status in book 2)
There's several posts on this sub showing Rowling talking about the kind of people she looks down upon - narcissists who only care about vibes, cling to simplistic talking points and don't care about the suffering of the less privileged (Is she talking about herself now? 🧐 : r/EnoughJKRowling), (JKKK Moulding self-aware? 🤨 : r/EnoughJKRowling) or about how Nicola Sturgeon is immature, lacks humor and consumed by her obsession.
The thing is, her description of her enemies fits her more than it fits them, to the point where I wonder if part of her is not willingly projecting her flaws upon others to avoid looking in the mirror.
What do you think ?
I always found it in bad taste to have a woman get legally re-named "witch" before being burned
I'm talking about this post btw : Official FAQs : r/EnoughJKRowling
For a "feminist", she does love mocking people's appearances by posting photos of them (when she's not committing upskirting)
Might be the only time in his life that the Pig King rants about consent btw
Back in 2023 and even as late as 2025, part of me would feel bittersweet nostalgia whenever I thought of Harry Potter due to how Joanne permanently tainted that part of my childhood. Whenever I think of the series now, one of the first things that come to my mind is her bigotry.
Recently though I realized that I'm feeling way less nostalgic of it than I expected - I think this sub helped me a lot in processing the series, its messages and Joanne's behavior and learning to move on from Harry Potter
Am I the only one who feels like this ?
For those who don't know, the titular character of the movie is a supervillain who eventually becomes a hero due to a mix between not really wanting to be a villain, feeling empty after his victory over the local hero and facing a new supervillain that he accidentally created.
Tighten, the actual villain of the movie, reminds me of Naofumi as well between his anger issues and incel-like behavior - except the movie doesn't try to justify Tighten's actions.
I feel like a good author could have made Malty somewhat similar to Megamind - starting off as a villain but reforming and become a protagonist, while Naofumi as he is written by Aneko is basically just Tighten but with a better reputation - actually, between the torture of Takt's allies and the whole Pig King deal, canon Naofumi went farther than what Tighten did in the movie

She was one of the most endearing characters of the Alma Torran arc for me, I would have loved to see more of her
I got inspired by u/Altruistic_Yard_9338's latest post (More Malty Memes - Vol 30 : r/MaltyMelromarcSquad)
For those who don't know, Frederick Douglass was an American abolitionist
Jojo and her ilk really feel like cruel, spiteful 13 year-old bullies - with the difference that 13 year-old usually change when they grow up. She doesn't behave like an adult should be - she's getting increasingly more vulgar even towards her fellow TERFs (Even other 'proud TERFs' are sick of JK Rowling's pontificating. Irony-deficient Rowling responds: "Take your repugnant self-righteousness and empathy deficit and fuck off." : r/EnoughJKRowling) or goes out of her way to bully small accounts that mention her or posting unflattering photos of trans women. She could have single-handedly ended world hunger (or at least hunger in the UK) several times instead !
What do you think ?
I hate how many isekais depict the "heroes" gaining more power and influence through buying slaves
I literally read the ROTSH manga just for Malty lmao
DISCLAIMER : I'm not implying that Joanne became a bigot because of the mold - in the movie where this scene is from, the Spot (the black and white character) became a villain from his own choices by the way
When I saw that meme format I knew I had to make this Jojo vs mold meme lmao
