I think if you put aside how awful they are, the Putin/Hitler comparisons are kind of hilarious in the way they specifically cherry-pick some bad thing that Putin did but not Hitler.
"That asshole in the pickup truck is worse than Hitler because at least Hitler never cut me off in traffic"
What's wrong with bad faith? I know basically nothing about it
Female dudes are the most oppressed class
Why should it have ended after two? It didn't even get worse after two seasons, at least in most people's opinion
Netflix didn't milk it for 6 seasons, they cut it short after 6 seasons because the crew unionized
Not here, from fans of the podcast Chapo Trap House, which has a similar name to this website despite there being no relationship between the two to my knowledge

Yeah I kinda put my point wrong in that comment, I put an edit at the end since then.
Sure, but so is most media. The Lion King is pro absolutist monarchy, and it's still a good movie.
Dumbledore actually lied again. Harry and Voldemort basically get stuck in limbo, where he has some kind of magical conversation with Dumbledore (I’m not sure this is ever explained). Voldemort’s Killing Curse once again failed to kill Harry, and instead destroyed the portion of Voldemort’s soul latched onto Harry (again I don’t think a Killing Curse was originally able to destroy a Horcrux and this is also never really explained). Basically, just as Voldemort was unable to die while Harry lived, so too Harry cannot die while Voldemort lived. But now the last ties between them have been destroyed.
In order to destroy a horcrux, it has to be obliterated in such a way that it could never be brought back. If the horcrux is a living thing, you can just kill it by any method because magic can't bring the dead back to life. So if Voldemort had killed Harry, he would have destroyed the unintentional horcrux he created.
I think technically speaking he did kill Harry, but the remnant of Lily's protection saved him from dying all the way, and that's what caused him to meet Dumbledore in limbo or wherever.
I think it's fair to say that this plot point was kind of contrived and not really set up in universe, and although the specific magic that allowed it wasn't set up, it was a recurring plot point throughout the entire series that Harry never asked to be the chosen one and didn't like it, so the moment with Dumbledore represented him being "reborn" as a hero by choice rather than by random chance.
Honestly I don't get why every leftist wants me to hate the Harry Potter books. JK Rowling may be a piece of shit, but that has literally nothing to do with the content of the books. It doesn't matter if you're the most despicable Nazi ever to Hitler, if you write a book that captures the imagination of millions of kids and doesn't contain your ideology in it, you've written a good book. Hating everything associated with someone doesn't mean you hate them more.
edit: ok, I don't mean the book has to "not contain your ideology," that's impossible. What I mean is it has to not serve as a vehicle for your ideology, and it has to not contain so many problematic themes as to set it apart from other media in the same cultural context, which I believe applies to the HP series. I acknowledge the serious flaws in the books, but I think they should be looked at completely ignoring Rowling's stated political views, which people clearly are not doing.
I think a lot of the time it goes like
Antagonist: If my ideology is enacted, everything will be better!
Protagonist: oh fuck how will we deal with this, I have no arguments to defend the status quo
Antagonist: And also, for some reason, I'm going to murder a bunch of innocent people in a way that doesn't even really further my objectives
Protagonist: Killing people is bad! I will strike you down
I haven't heard of this what did she do lol
