literally how is “jk rowling announced voldemorts pet snake is actually a korean woman” not a clickhole article like how on earth does she keep actually doing this

I still don’t get why this made people so angry tho. I mean, it’s indeed a ridicolous revelation to pull out her ass after a decade or so, but it’s not like we never saw a human changed into an animal in Harry Potter. Please, I’m not a potterhead, so will you explain me?

People feel that it was retconning and a very cheap attempt at including representation. Everyone knows that JKR has become obsessed with trying to inject rep into her story even considering the time period when HP was made, it had good rep already.
