      The films added the stereotypes. They made the goblins hooked nosed and added a Star of David decoration to the greengots bank floor.

      It’s not in the books but Rowling still had huge control over the film so retains responsibility.

        That’s not a star of david, and it wasn’t added for the film. That’s the floor of the Freemasons Hall in London.

          That’s not a star of david

          The masonic seal of Solomon is directly referencing the star of David.

          it wasn’t added for the film.

          The location was chosen for the film and the 6 pointed star was in shot unaltered.

          That’s the floor of the Freemasons Hall in London.

          Its filmed in Australia House.

          But maybe don’t include the floor in the center shot when you’re already being accused of antisemitism.

              Just FYI - Startpage is also using Google’s search index, so you’re kind of also “googling”.

            Thank you kindly for the links, I was just about to search for the Manchester Bombing, if I’m being honest I thought “The Troubles” was the name of a book or movie. I didn’t realize they gave such a non-chillant name to such a bloody conflict. Suddenly the meme makes sense though!

            Thanks again!

            What exactly in the above sentence would have suggested to the average person that they should Google search the troubles?
            Or are you saying any time I see a nonsensical sentence I should just stop what I’m doing and google search the whole thing?

              Well, I am still under the - maybe naive - impression that people understand context.

              If one user writes about “The Troubles” (capitalised), and another mentions “the Manchester blast”, my expectation was that a person is able to put 2 and 2 together and google “The Troubles Manchester blast” at the very least.
