Tbf essentialism is a broad term and some queer people use essentialist rhetoric as well (think “born that way”). And while I would disagree (because it doesn’t include all forms of queerness, some people just aren’t born that way, for some it is a choice), I wouldn’t problematize it and wouldn’t call them bigots. Essentialism doesn’t automatically lead to eugenics.
There are long video essays where former Potter fans reread the series with today’s knowledge and find antisemitism, fatphobia, ablism, essentialism, slavery apologetics, …
Since the author is a bigot, maybe the “bad guys” are actually more like antifa?
The Two Seasons Solution has always been a lie
Your welcome
Or it’s closer to Trick XOR Treat or, if we are realistic, Trick NAND Treat
From my understanding, this is different for everyone. For some people it’s about dysphoria, for others euphoria for others maybe neither. It’s always wrong to generalize. Always.
The original doesn’t have an extra check for 9 and it works for Roman->Indioarabic because it’s:
IX
->IVV
->IIIIV
->IIIIIIIII
But the other way around, you need an extra step for 9. That’s where our misunderstanding comes from.
Does 9 really work? Wouldn’t it be:
IIIIIIIII
-> VIIII
-> VIV
Makes sense but it will fail at 9 (VIV) it would only work for 9 if the replace went from right to left or the V and IV statements were exchanged but in both cases, 6 would fail
Thanks. I knew something was off
True. Lost opportunity to blow things up with useless recursivity
Because there are better random generators
I don’t know what happens when the substring overlaps. Like for the number 6, will it replace the first 5 I’s with V and end up correctly with VI or the last ones and come to IV? I would guess the former and maybe you know but I never thought about it before
German has a word for it: Substantivgroßschreibung
I never liked Potter so I never really looked into it to see enough to find it problematic. I know that there have always been voices who did, like Ursula K. Le Guin
