imo the most hosed up part is that loving luna rated a middle name for harry's kids but dobby didn't

luna: says some weird stuff that makes harry feel better once
dobby: literally dies for him

harry: 'i gotta pay tribute... to that wonderful girl...'

Right now there's a separate Harry Potter thread because I guess they need a separate thread for making fun of fanfiction.

who the gently caress is still writing harry potter fanfiction in 2015

and who the gently caress is reading it just to make fun of it? like, just read my immortal, laugh at it, and move on. you don't need to spend hours of your life 'ironically' reading a fanfic where lupin and sirius are harry's gay dads, my immortal is the funniest that format will get.

I think the more salient issue is not wanting to name one of your kids "Dobby" which would be a surefire way to make the shortlist for wizard school swirlies.

the entire point of the house elves was that they were socialized and abused into seeing slavery as their only option. hermione's attempts to free them were dumb not because they were somehow genetically programmed into being slaves, but because they knew no other life. their entire culture was built around being enslaved. you cant free them by just yelling at them until they suddenly have an epiphany, you have to tear the tree out at its roots - which is why hermione gets a ministry job in the ending. she's dealing with the problem by dealing with the wizards who perpetuate the problem.

edmund wilson says right here that house-elf slavery was just as unpopular with the death eaters as it was with the ministry of magic, because they had begun to realize that living in proximity to elves resulted in moral degradation

I'll be the guy who keeps talking about how bad your fanfic is, and obsessively read every chapter and comb over every detail about your personal life so I can be an internet psychiatrist.
