Should we potentially create a Harry Potter Instance?

Yes, but it's still connected to Harry Potter.

In the same way that fuckAI is connected to AI, sure.

But that's a stupid point to make

  4. Very active, about how much jkr sucks and that anyone who tries to protect her or praise her works is stupid at best and malicious at worst (which are you?)

Just go read better fantasy books, it's not hard, there's a million million more of them, cause jkr is a sloppy hack. He's some of the works she borrowed from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_influences_and_analogues

Why would you create something before there was demand for it? Seems completely backwards.

It's called preparation.

I think it does that only when you're actively supporting new work.

As in, I've never seen anyone publicly demonize someone else for using the term Lovecraftian or discussing his influence on literature.

But if you purchased a new publication called "The Infallible Brilliance of HP Lovecraft" it'd be really suspicious lol

I think it's enough to criticize the author and their work in hindsight when we find evidence of their prejudice inside it, without it meaning that everyone who's ever enjoyed the fiction is an evil demon person (especially ones who were impressionable kids at the time). Same for Good Omens.
