@nprofile1q... From my experience of my own kid's social circles: the ones who were HP fans had moms who'd been HP fans, and who gave off "gaslight gatekeep girlboss feminist" vibes. AFAIK none of them are friends anymore, which is also related to them having gone off to private schools because the middle school *gasp* has Black kids at it and Black folks living in the neighborhood around it.
Folks who were drawn to HP were drawn to it for a reason.
