    I mean I’m somewhat interested in how the Wizarding world manages to keep hidden despite all the kids from the muggleworld supposedly having friends and connections and things before Hogwarts.

    I mean, which 11-year old wouldn’t want to tell their friends they’re special? Hmm… perhaps ones which fear some sort of “witch-hunt” if they out themselves as being different?

    How about why don’t muggles just address the weird looking wizards who they see on the streets (at least in book 1 chapter 1) and on King’s Cross station. I mean, I can always spot a wizard.

      I imagine the kindest answer to that involves magical law enforcement obliviating and confounding any witnesses, akin to how Gilderoy Lockhart had a career but perpetrated at scale on a large populous of second-class citizens (aka Muggles). Which is horrifying, but any other answer I can think of is somehow worse than wizard cops mind raping anyone who saw anything.

        What do you mean?

        But yeah, the obliviators have definitely been mindraping people, but even with that, they couldn’t possibly track and trace all the people getting in on the secret.

          gotta know how shitty your opinions are outside of one thread, how am i suppose to deliver personal attacks if i don’t have a properly documented structure of your behaviors?

          Not that i would, because i’m too fucking lazy.

            Ooh, I’m so flattered. You took it so personally, I became your life’s focus.

            Thank you. <3

            Doesn’t still excuse you denying Israeli war crimes though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

              nah, about 30 minutes a day. I spend the rest of the day building a 500 SPM factorio megabase because it’s more productive :)

                  my brother in christ i shower for longer than that every day. I probably spend about half the time shitting and pissing every day. I spend two to three times as long as that eating food so i don’t fucking die.

                  I spend HOURS sleeping, every day.

                    Hey, if you choose to dedicate more time to me than you do say, physical exercise, I’m just more and more flattered.

                    It’s nice having fangirls.

                    It’d be nicer if they weren’t genocide deniers, but still.
