Before we get to what everyone\u2019s waiting for, I just wanted to say how much I love Harry\u2019s \u201cThis Is Why Science Is Awesome\u201d speech. It\u2019s damned inspirational, one of the great pieces of pro-science propaganda. There\u2019s even a short video<\/a> of it. This is what makes humanity great.<\/p>\n And in stark contrast to that \u2013 the rape-threat scene. Obviously this story was never intended for young audiences, but this cemented that into place. It was during this chapter that I decided I had to follow this series to its end. Half of it was Harry’s incredible speech, and half of it is the pure emotional shock of hearing an 11-year-old boy casually say he plans to rape a 10-year-old girl. It had an immediate physical effect on me, and the after-effects lingered for the rest of the day. The fact that it came so out of the blue in such an unexpected setting… it was damned effective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SPOILER NOTE!
