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, in the Laux Residence Hall, depicts Neville Longbottom, a character from the Harry Potter films. The nerdy Neville was played by actor Matthew Lewis, who blossomed into a notable hunk post-puberty. 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?”
The complaint, unearthed by a Heat Street records request for reports of bias on UW-La Crosse’s campus, was filed in April. We confirmed the mural remains up, despite the student’s complaint. By deadline, neither of the students who painted Neville Longbottom’s poster had responded to Heat Street’s inquiry.
UW-La Crosse established its “Hate Response” Team more than a decade ago to address acts of bias, prejudice, intolerance and hate on campus.

Trigglypuff?
OMG DID SOMEONE MAKE A ‘SAFE SPACE’ FOR HER????
Ya think??
Grow up.
And the UW-LaCrosse will buckle under to whatever demands this snowflake pursues. Because ONE PERSON being offended, is far more important than the legions of students that might appreciate the mural.
What the HELL is wrong with so many people in this current generation of American youth?
A "little"?
Try whole heaping bunches cupcake!
Someone as sensitive as you should retreat to a cave in the mountains because everything you see must bother your wittle bitty feelings.
While you are in the mountains don't forget to pet the nice kitties.

Sadly.
And this woman-child thinks that she will survive her first 90 minutes of employment in any company in the world?
Had an old cop friend, a deputy commissioner, in New York. He was not a political appointment, but rather an old street cop who had come up through ranks by hard work.
Whenever there was a new TV reporter who started doing “cops oppress minorities” stories, he would invite the reporter so spend a Saturday night in a patrol car with him in Harlem.
Not one of them ever survived 10 hours on the streets without a vastly changed attitude.
George Orwell, please pick-up the white courtesy phone.
Sounds like the woman is in bad need of a Microagression Reversal spell...along with a few weeks iat a safe space...maybe a forgotten attic at Number 12 Grimmauld Place.
I’m upset, too. It looks like the mural was executed by the same person who restored that painting of Jesus in Spain a few years back.
But, liberals always say the purpose of their art is to make people uncomfortable. They are always raising awareness by asking difficult questions to get a dialogue started through the use of their chosen medium (like urine or dog feces or whatnot).
Ya think????
This person's normophobia is actually normocentric.
Check your privilege!!!
The “Hate Response Team” should recommend that the school be closed at once as a conduit of hate.
I can’t get over the fact that there is an official “Hate Response Team”. It sounds like something out of an SNL skit. Utterly laughable.
Uh..."cis"-power? I wonder how this individual thinks that she or he or xe or it came into the world?
