What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is an unspoiled network podcast. This is unspoiled. Covering the Dresden Files. Book 18. 12 months. Chapters 37 and 38. And perhaps a little I'm afraid for 39. A word? In this section, we've got some protesters showing up and Harry stoutly defending their right to say it and also serving hot cocoa, which I can't help but approve of. And then we have an experiment with Lara to which she has a strange reaction. Welcome to unspoiled.
Welcome to the show, everyone.
I am Natasha. I'm Rashawn. Okay.
What are you giggling about? Just the weirdness of the chapter, the way the chapter ends, and the way you're just like, you know, she had a strange reaction to it. She had a very, very...
What are the main themes of Chapters 37 and 38?
stark reaction and went running away. Like she saw a two headed monster, which granted in the supernatural world, it's probably not even that like a weird to see something with two heads, but you know what I mean?
That's true. She saw a two headed monster. She'd be like, yawn Tuesday. What can you do? But yeah, so what did you think? Well, you know what? Let's start from the beginning and ask when the opening sentence, the first protester showed up at the castle Tuesday morning, what was your reaction to this?
To this, just the line or this? Yeah. The line? I was like, who's protesting the castle?
How do the characters react to the protesters in the castle?
And then it didn't take very long for me to be like, oh, I wonder if like, Because of everything that kind of blew up in the last chapter, I'm wondering if this is like now taking on a sort of take our neighborhood back, which is kind of like, you know, what's going on with these messages on their poster boards. And it's, you know, it's weird because where we're at now currently politically in the world, you know, I don't think what's necessarily happening in the book, but I can't help but think of protesters outside of Planned Parenthood clinics and Westboro Baptist Church and those types of protesting. But it's a little unnerving that the... that the castle has been sort of pinpointed as the epicenter and this is where we go to protest our the entire occult that we don't like because we know where to go to protest that's a good point is like he is the fucking in the crosshairs for this whole all of their what do they call that he calls himself chief weirdo or something like that yep
So that's a little unnerving, but I find myself being, I know that they're kind of assholes and like fuck Carl from the last podcast or whatever episode that was, but I still find myself being a little empathetic for these people who are just really, really scared. Yeah. And I'm torn because I know that Fear can make people do very, very ugly things. And they can justify it by saying, you know, we're just trying to protect ourselves. And their fear can be groundless. It can be based in stereotypes and, you know, all kinds of things. So it's like a really fine line with me trying to be like, I get it. They're freaked out. They saw some incredible shit. They just want their lives back. They just want normalcy back.
And being like, but how quickly that turns ugly. How quickly that turns into us and them.
What experiment does Harry conduct with Lara?
And then how we are able to dehumanize them and that excuses our treatment of them. And it happens so quickly. Yeah. So while I appreciate Harry being like, they're within their rights. We're not going to call the cops. They're not even on our property. As a matter of fact, we're going to try to meet them with hot cocoa and, and warming devices for the gloves, which those things are fucking clutch. Yeah. It was very nice of him. Um, you know what I mean though?
Like it's just, it's a fine line. Well, this is the exact thing I think is that he knows they are reacting out of fear. And so he is trying to not do that himself.
Um,
You know what I'm saying? Because everything you're talking about is a legitimate concern, but it hasn't happened yet. And reacting in fear. as if it is already happening, can be self-fulfilling sometimes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know?
Definitely escalates.
Yeah. And it'll just move that train even faster. And, like, everybody around him is like, you want us to take care of this?
