HBO have confirmed the casting of Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape in the (very loose) adaptation of Harry Potter. Fan-fucking-tastic. So much for sticking rigidly to the books and trying to wash out the bad taste of those (mostly) god-awful movies from the 2000s.
Putting aside the race issue entirely, this guy was also a model! Snape was clearly described as being an ugly, greasy haired, neckbeard.
His race is going to cause problems whatever way you spin it. It’s another blatant slap in the face to white people but consider this, harry constantly accuses him of being a mistrustful traitor, the character is bullied by a bunch of privileged white kids in his youth, strung up on a tree, the girl he loves ditches his ass for a rich white guy, he joins the wizarding ku-klux-klan and gets white people killed because he can’t handle rejection. Smartly thinking HBO. You reap what you sow.
Of course the casting is deliberate just to piss everyone off, we know it and we expect it. So my nomination goes this cunt Essiedu himself for accepting the role and ruining any chance of redemption for JK Rowling and her one worthwhile product.
Oh and Hermione will definitely be black and all the white kids will want to rape her after reading Andrew Tate propaganda in their owl post.
Nominated by Cunt Dracula.
