Okay, before we start, lets get one thing fucking straight here.
Okay, okay, I'm chilling out now. I just wanted there to be no question whatsoever about how I viewed that insipid term. And, obviously, I had a lot of internal debate over naming my thread like this. Nevertheless, I came to the conclusion that it was genuinely an appropriate use of it in this specific context, and hopefully you'll see why by the end of this thread.
So lets begin our discussion.
Part 1. The SJW awakens
It's been observed by multiple people that the villains of Harry Potter are startlingly similar not to the original Nazi's that Rowling drew most inspiration from, but rather the modern day Alt-right movement that we see now. I'll probably do a topic on that later on, so I'll just say that I agree with that statement. However, in association of that, she also predicted another topical trend, which is that of the SJW. (I should point out that the SJW isn't a wholly unique archtype, the basic parts of it have been in fiction throughout time. However, with the association of all the other alt-right trends, it can be counted amongst the rest as prophetic)
However, this book also frames her as being huffy and self important and patronizing from the get-go. She starts lecturing about how bullshit their lot is, and people just act exasperated and bewildered. And when they do, Hermione simply ignores or otherwise is framed as reacting unreasonably to them.
If you were to ask an ordinary person, they would see this as something as a white-man's-burden plot. Note that Hermione does not ask the house elves either for help nor their opinion on her campaign. She outright states she views them as brainwashed idiots who can't decide for themselves, but wants the moral grounding to save them. And, of course, she shouldn't just straight up ignoring that the elves want the work, to the point where they would rather suffer abuse than be free of it.
Of all the responses, it's Hagrids that I believe is framed, I think as being the one that most effectively demonstrates this, as Hagrid takes the care of magical creatures far more seriously than most.
So here we have the Proto-SJW.
With that overview in mind, I want to wind back to the start of the novel. Like Hermione's SPEW campaign, the novel doesn't actually involve house elves too much. Dobby helps Harry out in the second task of the Triwizard Tournament, but that's his own individual action, and Winky occasionally appears as she's part of the mystery plot happening, but doesn't really do anything except mope. However, the relevant piece of information is the start where Winky is questioned, because that's where we see how House Elves are treated
Part 2. The Elves are being fucked
Okay, so like I said in the summary of events I gave, Winky is found and was accused of conjuring the dark mark. This being the incident that spurs Hermione to her SJW ways, it's significant. What Hermione took away from this is that Crouch had the authority to make Winky do things she didn't want to do. That it's slavery, and that it's bad. We'll...discuss that particular aspect in a bit, but I'd like to draw your attention to something else first.
So, rather than any deductive logic or reason, she's innocent by association with the powerful. And then, after her innocence is proven, she still needs to be questioned in an official...police report, or whatever the equivalent is in the wizarding world. And again, Crouch simply nopes it, and decides that he should deal with Winky herself.
What is important here is not what happens, but what it establishes in terms of worldbuilding. Namely, that the Elves are being fucked. They have no rights, their guilt is assumed when it's convenient, and they are utterly subject to their master. What protects Winky from being assumed guilty without a trial is that her master is an inconvienent person to accuse. And what really struck me was when Crouch demanded that he would deal with Winky himself. In a darker novel, Crouch would do more than just fire her. It's pretty open that the Malfoys abused Dobby, and Sirius was no friend to Kreature in the 5th novel. And that's notable too. Unlike other characters, Sirius is a 'good' character, but he nevertheless abused Kreature in the next book, which ironically lead to his death, and was then later much more pleasant when treated well by Harry.
What I'm trying to point out here is that House-Elves aren't slaves in that their made to do their masters bidding, but slaves in the sense that they have no rights. Yeah, a wizard COULD be nice to them but a wizard being an evil bastard to them has no real consequences except in very extraneous circumstances. The book even says as much when Hermione explains why she doesn't have this protectiveness toward other creatures.
But if there aren't systems in place to keep people respecting other groups of people as people, then dehumanization happens. And this is very present in the interaction here.
Which is where the uncomfortable real world parallels start seeping in, don't they? House-elves, as far as I can tell, aren't analogues to any human ethnic group (Which thank god, because them being pretty much entirely fictious creatures is the only thing that makes their situation palatable), but them being dehumanized as a group is disturbingly human.
Part 3. How Elves Be
While we're it, there is one thing we should talk about. The Nature of Elves. Despite the primary objection to Hermione being "This is just how they are", they never really go into how the house-elves came to be this way.
This, in itself, isn't usual. The world that Rowling created is a sort of classical fairy tale in it's design. Things just are a certain way. That's why we never get into discussions about how her magic system actually works or what it's limitations are, and I would say that we don't get an origin story of any creature encountered in the story. It might not be fair to demand that Rowling have an explanation for House-Elves when we don't really have an explanation for anything. Where do pheonix's come from? Basilisks? Three headed dogs? How do Ghosts work (this actually is asked by Harry in one book, but we are denied an answer), or the paintings of people who seem to be alive, or the numerous magical things we see?
The thing is, the House-Elves are unique in that they seem to exist to serve wizards. All those other things, they just exist in the Harry Potter world and interact with wizards, but House Elves devote their entire existence to serving Wizards specifically. In this, I don't think it's unreasonable to ask "Why". What do House-Elves get out of working for wizards that they don't get out of working for themselves? What did they do before wizards, or how did they come into existence with wizards. Because I can't think of anything that doesn't come down to "And then wizards put a spell on this species to take pleasure in serving them, so that their children and their children's children would forever remain their slaves." Basically, what I'm saying is that I can't believe this to be their natural existence.
I mean, look at this.
it should be noted that even Elves are unsympathetic. They don't give a shit that one of their own is miserable, because they are themselves so deadset on having work done. In this scene, winky has been utterly miserable for months on end because she failed her master, and the house elves just resent her for not working more.
What this comes down to"]What I've observed is that JKR's shoddy worldbuilding kind of worked in her favor here in a very unintentional way. Don' get me wrong, the narrative framework works to the favor of portraying Hermione's fanaticism in a bad way...but the same way the fundamental objections to most SJW's falls apart on closer inspection, Hermione's SPEW is vindicated, atleast in my eyes, by the reading inbetween the lines of the story. When you get down to it, SPEW's goals are promotion of Elf's welfare and legal standing, though they never get into the specifics. Hermione wants to set them 'free', which everyone, including the House-Elves, object to on the grounds that they like it, and Hermione never justifies it in any way....
But SPEW'S goals can be easily justified with minor rewording and reframing of the narrative. Elves should have freedom to LEAVE. If their master is being an abusive piece of shit, they should be able to go "Fuck this" and go find another job. But being a slave is so ingrained into the entire wizard culture, and even seemingly into their psyche, that Elves would literally rather be abused than go somewhere else. And it's not being culturally insensitive or ignorant of anyone's ways to say that is entirely fucked. It's unhealthy and abusive for such a way of doing things to exist.
Again, this is neither to suggest that Rowling fucked up in some major way, because I don't think she did (or, atleast not moreso than her other worldbuilding issues), nor is it to suggest that Rowling planned any of this (because lol no). I'm just making the observation that in the midst of all this surprisingly accurate capture of the alt-right psyche, she seems to have tried to create a mocking depiction of what they view as SJW's as ignorant and idiotic in their self-righteousness.
But instead, by complete accident, what she actually created is how the alt-right misframes SJW's, in that they think the issues being brought up don't have merit. But Hermione's campaign DOES have merit. The elves are being fucked. It's just not framed as having such.
Plus, this is peppered in with more nuanced writings on prejudice
Still, maybe I'm just looking too much into this, with this being a silly kids book that does silly things.
Part 4. No, for real, the elves are being *FUCKED*
You know, Fantastic Beasts 2 is a really shitty movie. It's so bad for so many reasons, to the point where when you go back, you are surprised by the shitty things you missed before hand.
This is Irma Dugard, a half elf, who took care of credence when he was a baby. Other than to deliver some minor exposition, she dies pretty quick after her introduction, so I didn't give too much thought to her as I was being distracted by Grindelwald's No-Homo Friendship Necklace with Dumbledore and Credences origin reveal that was immediately turned into a different origin reveal because Rowling put twists to her twist that took like 15 minutes of exposition to reveal and Newt, the main character, basically had nothing to do with any of it.
But later on, in looking up info to make sure I didn't miss anything while writing this, I came across her again, and it hit me. She's a Elf-human hybrid.
Someone is fucking the house-elves. Someone is fucking the house-elves.
...
And you know, this isn't like the normal human hybrids here. Hagrid, he talks about how his mom was a shitty mom, but nothing about the story implies that his birth was the result of giant rape. His dad, it seems, was just freaky. Same thing with flitwick, he was half-goblin, which as mentioned before, the Goblins have both independence and rights within the wizarding community. So, again, Flitwick is presumably the result of a very freaky human and goblin getting on with their freakiness.
Not so with house-elves. House-Elves have to obey their masters in everything. In EVERYTHING.
Can you ever imagine those huge eyes Dobby has with the same innocence ever again?
In conclusion, the wizarding world needs SPEW
90% of the time anyone uses the term "SJW" unironically, they're being a tool. And in the cases where a real life person is calling another real life person one, that rounds the figure up to 100%. It's an utterly insipid term coined by a bunch of douchebags whose sole purpose is to shame people from caring about things that hurt them and/or other people. That's it's only real purpose. It's alleged purpose is to target not anyone who cares about issues, but only the ones who do so 'extremely', the ones who allegedly somehow cause more harm to their cause by being active about it. It's supposed to be, to it's defenders, only for the fanatics and crazies that make the sane people for that same cause look bad, like how many might agree with Richard Dawkins advocacy for Atheism in society but still think he's a dick and needs to chill the fuck out. But, of course, in practice, the line of what counts as extreme changes arbitrarily to on a case by case basis to be whatever the subject in question is doing, until they are doing literally nothing, or even then. And besides the dishonest way in which it is used, it's also inherently hypocritical. By rejecting, criticizing, and pushing back against a person trying to promote a social cause, you are, by definition, making a statement on how matters of social justice ought be handled. For example, lets say you hypothetically found a person for which the term fits what they are allegedly meant to be used for, the very definition of calling someone an SJW is implying that their worldview, actions and/or personality is a bad to promote and that people shouldn't think like this or act like it's acceptable behavior and oh my god, your promoting a social view you believe is just, SJW alert!
It's a stupid, stupid, stupid term that's never used to it's alleged purpose and only serves as a tool for obfuscation for assholes. Even when used 'properly', it's a lazy blanket insult that doesn't actually say anything meaningful. It has no place in any reasonable discourse taking place in a real world setting where contemporary real life subjects are being discussed.
It's also not even clever! Okay, this is a minor point that bugs me specifically, but of all the possible insults you could make to essentially call someone crazy, how the fuck is it that they landed on the one that only sounds even remotely palatable when you reduce it to a plain acronym?! No one says Social Justice Warrior because it's unwieldy as an insult, so they had to bludgeon it down to three letters and then repeat it often enough until it became colloquial, but you can brute force that with any 3 letters. For fucks say, even Rowling know that acronyms are only funny if the word they make together sounds funny! That's why she had Hermione name it S.P.E.W. as a joke in the books! One that worked and was actually fucking funny! Fuck this term!

Okay, okay, I'm chilling out now. I just wanted there to be no question whatsoever about how I viewed that insipid term. And, obviously, I had a lot of internal debate over naming my thread like this. Nevertheless, I came to the conclusion that it was genuinely an appropriate use of it in this specific context, and hopefully you'll see why by the end of this thread.
In Goblet of Fire, Hermione was introduced to the concept of House Elves. I will summarize as much as I can to put the quotes in their appropriate context, but this book's mystery is a bit more convoluted than usual, so bare with me. Winky is the house elf of Barty Crouch, a Ministry of Magic official. She was saving him a seat in a top row in the Quidditch World Cup, but he never showed up. Afterwards, the magical Alt-Right had a minor riot and non-lethally lynched some muggles, but then left after someone shot the Voldy-Symbol (called the Dark Mark) into the air. Winky was found at the scene where the Voldy-Symbol originated and was questioned, but it was deduced that she could not have lit the Voldy-Symbol. For full disclosure, it should be noted that she was deeply involved with the person who did, and she bullshitted the questioning by omitting information that Barty would rather kept secret, but, really, that's tangential. Anyway, once she gets to school, she starts an organization to try to better House Elves treatment, which basically gets no members through the book.
So lets begin our discussion.
Part 1. The SJW awakens
It's been observed by multiple people that the villains of Harry Potter are startlingly similar not to the original Nazi's that Rowling drew most inspiration from, but rather the modern day Alt-right movement that we see now. I'll probably do a topic on that later on, so I'll just say that I agree with that statement. However, in association of that, she also predicted another topical trend, which is that of the SJW. (I should point out that the SJW isn't a wholly unique archtype, the basic parts of it have been in fiction throughout time. However, with the association of all the other alt-right trends, it can be counted amongst the rest as prophetic)
I think it's important to keep in mind that the only context we have of House-Elves before this book is Dobby, who was a clearly abused victim of the Malfoys. It's made clear that he is someone who loves serving, but he also HAS to serve against his will. His only way of defying the Malfoys is to by using technical loopholes and even then he is compulsed into punishing himself by his own instincts. If we only knew Dobby, which the audience did before this book, it'd be hard to say that Hermione is saying anything but an observed fact here.
However, this book also frames her as being huffy and self important and patronizing from the get-go. She starts lecturing about how bullshit their lot is, and people just act exasperated and bewildered. And when they do, Hermione simply ignores or otherwise is framed as reacting unreasonably to them.
If you were to ask an alt-righter how he views discussions with what he calls SJW's, he would paint a picture roughly similar to this. A person who is coming in with maybe noble, but ultimately self righteous intentions to correct a perceived wrong that only they see as a wrong. And when they are given perfectly reasonable, measured, intelligent responses that explain to them that they are incorrect and things are fine the way they are, they are just ignored because Hermione can't come up with a reasonable retort. Everything Hermione says here is out of ignorance lacking self awareness. The House-Elves are fine, Hermione, they LIKE it. But she just refuses to be convinced.
If you were to ask an ordinary person, they would see this as something as a white-man's-burden plot. Note that Hermione does not ask the house elves either for help nor their opinion on her campaign. She outright states she views them as brainwashed idiots who can't decide for themselves, but wants the moral grounding to save them. And, of course, she shouldn't just straight up ignoring that the elves want the work, to the point where they would rather suffer abuse than be free of it.
Of all the responses, it's Hagrids that I believe is framed, I think as being the one that most effectively demonstrates this, as Hagrid takes the care of magical creatures far more seriously than most.
Hermione's response isn't shown, but the next scene has her going about her SPEW business as usual, so it was as ineffective as the rest. And this is just the primary framing of Hermione's behavior here, where she is just this crusader wannabe convinced of her own righteousness so much that she is simply beyond reason. I should note that she doesn't actually....do anything with this plotline. Eventually, Hermione just starts paying more attention to Rita Skeeter printing fake news about them (again, the predictions to future Alt-right trends Rowling made are startling) and the SPEW thing just sort of ends up being this thing that she still maintains is a good idea, but it's not really expounded on for the rest of the book. I do remember it coming up in books 5, 6, and 7 (with Ron expressing concern for House-elves being the thing that leads to Hermione kissing him and them finally getting together), but it never takes center stage again as far as I can recall.
So here we have the Proto-SJW.
With that overview in mind, I want to wind back to the start of the novel. Like Hermione's SPEW campaign, the novel doesn't actually involve house elves too much. Dobby helps Harry out in the second task of the Triwizard Tournament, but that's his own individual action, and Winky occasionally appears as she's part of the mystery plot happening, but doesn't really do anything except mope. However, the relevant piece of information is the start where Winky is questioned, because that's where we see how House Elves are treated
Part 2. The Elves are being fucked
Okay, so like I said in the summary of events I gave, Winky is found and was accused of conjuring the dark mark. This being the incident that spurs Hermione to her SJW ways, it's significant. What Hermione took away from this is that Crouch had the authority to make Winky do things she didn't want to do. That it's slavery, and that it's bad. We'll...discuss that particular aspect in a bit, but I'd like to draw your attention to something else first.
Okay, Winky's being accused and she has to defend her innocence. She has 3 witnesses to back her story, but they are ignored. Yet, by the end of the scene, it's agreed by all that she is innocent of conjuring the dark mark. Amos is sure that she is the one who did it...until crouch suggests that by accusing her, she's accusing him.
So, rather than any deductive logic or reason, she's innocent by association with the powerful. And then, after her innocence is proven, she still needs to be questioned in an official...police report, or whatever the equivalent is in the wizarding world. And again, Crouch simply nopes it, and decides that he should deal with Winky herself.
What is important here is not what happens, but what it establishes in terms of worldbuilding. Namely, that the Elves are being fucked. They have no rights, their guilt is assumed when it's convenient, and they are utterly subject to their master. What protects Winky from being assumed guilty without a trial is that her master is an inconvienent person to accuse. And what really struck me was when Crouch demanded that he would deal with Winky himself. In a darker novel, Crouch would do more than just fire her. It's pretty open that the Malfoys abused Dobby, and Sirius was no friend to Kreature in the 5th novel. And that's notable too. Unlike other characters, Sirius is a 'good' character, but he nevertheless abused Kreature in the next book, which ironically lead to his death, and was then later much more pleasant when treated well by Harry.
What I'm trying to point out here is that House-Elves aren't slaves in that their made to do their masters bidding, but slaves in the sense that they have no rights. Yeah, a wizard COULD be nice to them but a wizard being an evil bastard to them has no real consequences except in very extraneous circumstances. The book even says as much when Hermione explains why she doesn't have this protectiveness toward other creatures.
The House-Elves legitimately have no way of fighting back against any kind of abuse, with no indication that a wizard master can't simply torture or kill a house-elf on a whim. Instead, the conversation is framed as "Well, there's no problem so long as the master is nice to the house-elf, is there?"
But if there aren't systems in place to keep people respecting other groups of people as people, then dehumanization happens. And this is very present in the interaction here.
Amos Diggory isn't a bigot against House-elves in particular, nor is Ron, nor is Mr. Weasley, but hey are all exhibiting an utter lack of concern for the wellbeing of another creature because they were raised in a culture where House-Elves are just expected to be stepped on because...well, what are they gonna do about it?
Which is where the uncomfortable real world parallels start seeping in, don't they? House-elves, as far as I can tell, aren't analogues to any human ethnic group (Which thank god, because them being pretty much entirely fictious creatures is the only thing that makes their situation palatable), but them being dehumanized as a group is disturbingly human.

It might not be fair to demand that Rowling have an explanation for House-Elves when we don't really have an explanation for anything. Where do pheonix's come from? Basilisks? Three headed dogs? How do Ghosts work (this actually is asked by Harry in one book, but we are denied an answer), or the paintings of people who seem to be alive, or the numerous magical things we see?
The thing is, the House-Elves are unique in that they seem to exist to serve wizards.

Because I can't think of anything that doesn't come down to "And then wizards put a spell on this species to take pleasure in serving them, so that their children and their children's children would forever remain their slaves." Basically, what I'm saying is that I can't believe this to be their natural existence.
I mean, look at this.
Dobby hated the Malfoys, hasn't been under their power for 2 years, and even then just mildy framing them with a negative connotation compulses him to physically punish himself. What does that? It's either a cartoonish version of PTSD where the Dobby is prone to self harm but through a kids filter... or else it's a generational wizard curse that ensures House-Elves absolute obedience. This just isn't normal, not even in Harry Potter's world. And that's a pretty important distinction to make, because the whole "it's what they like" excuse just doesn't ring as true if they are being FORCED to like their servitude under coersion.
it should be noted that even Elves are unsympathetic. They don't give a shit that one of their own is miserable, because they are themselves so deadset on having work done. In this scene, winky has been utterly miserable for months on end because she failed her master, and the house elves just resent her for not working more.
Okay, so we have Hermione being unpleasant, we have the fact that House-Elves have no support system, and we have that the way House-Elves like their work being iffy at best. What am I building up to here?
What this comes down to"]What I've observed is that JKR's shoddy worldbuilding kind of worked in her favor here in a very unintentional way. Don' get me wrong, the narrative framework works to the favor of portraying Hermione's fanaticism in a bad way...but the same way the fundamental objections to most SJW's falls apart on closer inspection, Hermione's SPEW is vindicated, atleast in my eyes, by the reading inbetween the lines of the story.

Again, this is neither to suggest that Rowling fucked up in some major way, because I don't think she did (or, atleast not moreso than her other worldbuilding issues), nor is it to suggest that Rowling planned any of this (because lol no). I'm just making the observation that in the midst of all this surprisingly accurate capture of the alt-right psyche, she seems to have tried to create a mocking depiction of what they view as SJW's as ignorant and idiotic in their self-righteousness.

Plus, this is peppered in with more nuanced writings on prejudice
Even though Ron is Hagrid's friend, even he lets himself get carried by his prejudices against giants. And the issue of being prejudiced against a fictional race that is framed as a legitimate threat is another thing entirely, but the point here is that Hermione here offers much more nuanced, realistic, and positively depicted statements against bigotry.
Still, maybe I'm just looking too much into this, with this being a silly kids book that does silly things.
Part 4. No, for real, the elves are being *FUCKED*
You know, Fantastic Beasts 2 is a really shitty movie. It's so bad for so many reasons, to the point where when you go back, you are surprised by the shitty things you missed before hand.

His dad, it seems, was just freaky. Same thing with flitwick, he was half-goblin, which as mentioned before, the Goblins have both independence and rights within the wizarding community. So, again, Flitwick is presumably the result of a very freaky human and goblin getting on with their freakiness.
Not so with house-elves. House-Elves have to obey their masters in everything. In EVERYTHING.
Can you ever imagine those huge eyes Dobby has with the same innocence ever again?
In conclusion, the wizarding world needs SPEW
