Harry Potter Mural Denounced for White Power, Class Power, Cis Power

I feel like I want a safe space from these people. Preferably by finding a safe space for them in the North Pole. Or the bottom of the ocean. Or a good psychiatric ward.

A University of Wisconsin-La Crosse student had a serious complaint for his campus’ official “Hate Response Team”: he was “very upset” by a Harry Potter mural in a college dorm.

The mural shows him as both a geeky boy and an attractive young man — transformed, according to the mural’s caption, by a stay at the Laux Residence Hall itself.

The depiction of this metamorphosis “represents our ideal society and everything I am trying to fight against,” wrote the offended student, whose name is redacted. “It represents white power. Man power. Cis power. Able power. Class power. ECT [sic] ect. I am angry that I know the people who put this mural up, and I am anger [sic] because I know the people who let this mural be put up. Like I said earlier, maybe I am being a little sensitive, but it is how I feel. This represents, to me, our society, and I do not want it up on this wall. Why do we need a BEFORE and AFTER?”

Why do we need a hate response team when most of the hate seems to be coming from the summoners of the hate response team. There's more hate in that irrational rant than there is in any and all of its targets. Here's a borderline illiterate social justice crybully who isn't good for very much except being offended by things. And yet in today's leftist hegemony, being offended by things is actually a career.
