For me it’s Dragon Ball Z, that was a pretty fucked up show tbh.
Like holy shit, all the characters are terrible people except maybe Gohan and Trunks.

a lot of that stuff went over my head cause I was pretty young, but the one thing that I couldn’t shake was the nagging feeling that hermione was always playing second fiddle to her doofus friends one way or another. even tho she was nice about it by the 4th book I was frustrated for her. she worked so hard and was so brilliant and caring but ??? I guess she’s not the golden boy and that’s all that matters
I think Rowling was trying very hard to avoid favoring her “self-insert” character to the detriment of the story, and ended up detrimenting the story by overcorrecting for it. Hermione can’t be right, she can’t win, she can’t be recognized as competent and capable and justified by the other main characters, because then that’s just Rowling applauding herself. I think was her mindset, anyway.
Not that it would have made the story good if Hermione were handled better, because Rowling still just isn’t a good writer. But this is one flaw I can empathize with at least. It’s a mistake I could see myself making, though I probably wouldn’t imply that slavery is good in the process.
