I can't tell if this is a serious post, or just something that is suppose to be sarcastic.

I hate that kids don't have cool magic users growing up, casters are either old and frail, nerdy and incompetent or girls. I love how that last word seemed like it was spit out. Just.. Girls.

I think in most cases, when the show doesn't specifically revolve around magic users. Is that I think that people, either consciously or unconsciously don't want to respect intelligence. Or instill that in children. Magic is pretty much a stand in for Technology.
