Some comments complaining about the house elves status don't see how well it spills into real life.

Society didn't care in the books, society doesn't care in real life. Change was slow in the books, change is slow in real life.
Rowling was accurate as fuck in this regard.

That isn't how real life works and the fact that Rowling contributed that perception to millions of children is unironically worse than the TERF shit.

Do you think it's because more people seem to defend or put stock in the elf slave stuff as being ok?
