    This is such a pet peeve for me as well!! Fan fictions treat harry like a blank slate and not a character with his own personality too! They’ll make him really submissive just so that they can pair him with Draco even though Harry’s actually really feisty. I don’t get the point of writing a fanfiction if you’re just going to change everything about the characters in order to force them together!! I don’t mind Draco and Harry as a ship, it does kind of work since they’re both so obsessed with each other but people won’t work with the chemistry that has been provided for them and instead make it so that Harry gets pregnant with Draco’s baby, like NO 😭😭. Another reason this pisses me off is that when a ship is gay, particularly two men, they will actively force one of the male characters to act really feminine, like dramatically feminine and it comes across as really homophobic that you can’t have two men in a relationship without making one if them ‘the woman’

    I don't know if you read the books or only watched the movies. If you read the books and still think that ron and hermoine don't fit together then fair. But if you only watched the movies then i highly recommend you to read the books, bc in the books ron and hermoine are a much better ship and also are definitely meant for each other. In the books both hermoine and harry laugh at the idea of being together bc they are like borther/sister (if you think that harra+hermoine are better which people who don't like ron+hermoine a lot of time think). Generally the books are also a lot more detailed and the characters differ a lot to the movies, specifically ron and ginny, who were properly character assassinated in the movies, leading to a lot of fans rather leaning into harry+hermoine rather than harry+ginny and ron+hermoine.

    I mean... in regard to the Tomarry/Harrymort fics... Out of the 2 incarnetions of this ship Tomarry is the more popular i think, the fics for this one always tend to fall under two major camps: time travel fix-its where Harry is send back in time for whatever reason and decides to try and stop Tom from becoming Voldemort or Timeline mergers where Tom and Harry's crews go to Hogwarts together. The Harrymort ones are a bit more questionable....lots of stockholm syndrome and weird sex slave stuff as was mentioned in the video, there are some in wich Voldemort manages to come back to life when Harry is an auror becuz of "secret 8th horocrux" or "Harry became master of Death while still having a part of Tom's soul im him, so he also counts as a master" most of the time they boil down to Harry having an internal crisis over the idea of catching any sense of feelings for his family murderer. When it comes to Voldy's appeareance, only a few brave souls stick to the emanciated and skeletal snakeface image, sometines it gets written as it being a glamour he puts to create more fear or Worntail somehow botching the ritual to bring him back.

    Edit I keep editing things that come to my mind. I think when it comes to Drarry the movie version of Harry and Draco just don't come off like they hate eachother the way they did in the books idk that's at least why I think Drarry is the way it is. For reference Draco pretty much actively shits on him in the books. But in the movie instead of throwing a paper message at him made a conscious choice to make it a flying swam that still has a mean thing but why the fck did he make it a swam. There's alot that's changed in the movie to begin with making Draco more forgivable then he is in the books. Same thing happened with Snape. Sense there's this huge disconnect between the movie watchers and the book readers you often get characters change poorly or lean into better qualities. Like I think movie Ron is the reason he gets nothing in fan content sense Hermione in the movies took some of his lines. So sense most people who only watched the movies or watch it before reading the books don't know how he is in the books and write him off cause the movies mainly show his bad qualities for the most part. With Hermione it's probably the yaoi effect. (Context not all gay ships are like this but happens quite alot in fanfics its why Ginny is always bashed on or "crazy" in them) It's where a gay pairing is so popular but they have to write a villian or a way for the og love interest to not be involved with the protag take kh for instance. In the early kingdom hearts fanfics people made Kairi a love obsessed crazy girl who liked Sora. Or take Twilight (hate to bring it up but) people who shipped Jacob and Edward would write Bella that way. (I mean like she isn't really that rememberable out of protags but still) I think there's only a few fanfics where Drarry doesn't bash on Harry's friends. The only few ships I enjoy is like Luna and Harry because I just think their cute. Or Ginny and Neville cause she's full of confidence and he needs someone who'd lift him up and believe in him. Idk I just vibed with these I also like Luna and Neville only to find out it wasn't canon at somepoint which sucked. And lastly the reason I brought up drarry is because their are some really well written stories on it yeah it takes a new approach to things and changes how characters act sometimes but, for the most part keep things relatively the same and if there's no character bashing that's a win. Long story short fanfic culture straight up is all emotional and biased its why some characters are changed to fic the writers way of seeing them and letting some resentment or dislike towards a character shown. Shipping will always be like that probably it's unfortunate but true.

  • @beastwriter3915

    I love redemption and second chances. I'm all for redeeming characters like Draco and Snape. Draco was just a traumatized kid, and Snape -- well, if you read closely, the idea for his redemption is there, and there were moments like him telling someone off for using the M slur that seems to attempt to show that he changed, but the execution is just wonky, and sad. So if a fanfic writer can attempt to fulfill their redemptions to the fullest, then that's good, BUT if the only motivation for redeeming them is to ship them with someone, then what??? I don't understand the appeal of shipping Snape with any of his students. Or any professor x student ship. I get the appeal of Dramione. The rich elite learning from and changing because of a minority character is a trope -- a problematic trope, but a trope nonetheless. But it is problematic, especially if that's the only reason for redeeming Draco. You know what I think might be a slightly better version of Dramione? Drinny, or Draco x Ginny. You still have the dynamic or rich x poor, elitist x blood traitor, but the power dynamic is shifted a bit towards Ginny's favour, since she's much more likely to put Draco in his place. But the actual best version of this ship actually comes from the awfulness that is Cursed Child, and that is Scorpius Malfoy x Rose Weasley. There's the dynamic of someone from a pureblood elitist family with someone from a poor blood traitor family, but much of the problematic elements are reduced because Scorpius is an actually wholesome and nice character. Unfortunately, that also means the appeal is less smh Anyway, the real best ships is Lovebottom

    Hot take: I actually think Drarry works in a post-war world in a weird way. I think there's an appeal to it for some fans, because it fully shows Harry's acceptance that the world is gray, not black and white. Draco is a horrible person, but he's also a child/teenager that grew up under fascist and racist parents and a fascist and racist high-class world. Doesn't really make it right, but like, he has no other role models. Like imagine growing up your whole life thinking this is okay behavior, a 11 year old raised in that environment isn't going to question or act out of what he's been told his whole life. If anyone can be rehabilitated in this story, it is by far Draco. I even think it honestly elevates the story more if we get that exploration, because Harry Potter....it isn't actually that gray, it is very black and white despite all of Rowling's attempts or excuses. But having a character work through the terrible fascist and racist things he learned as a kid and learn to not do that would help remedy that in a real way, and show a very real side to how these systems in reality. I think it'd be cool to see Harry learn the power of love/compassion even towards those he used to hate, when it's justified, really hammering home his arc of realizing the world isn't black and white. It'd be cool to see Draco being a microcosm of the larger wizarding world's attempts to deradicalize. Now, I personally greatly dislike Draco, I actually think he is very obnoxious and pathetic and not a "bad boy" at all (all of that flew out the window the minute Hermione punched him in the face and he started crying for his father). But I think it'd be cool to see this, and honestly, Drarry has such toxic gay vibes it's fun to explore, even if I'm not sure I'd ever have them get together. Not really sure if I ship Drarry the same way a lot of people do, but, that's my take on why people would and reasons I can get behind.

    Meh...as far as I know, in canon, they never really became friends after the war, no less romantic partners, but they were on speaking terms. If I were to stretch it, I'd still see them as friends and just friends. A pretty unexpected friendship too, considering their upbringings and who they were during the war. And also the fact that Harry has Ginny! And to a less fleshed-out extent, Draco has Astoria. But if you really had to ship Drarry...the least you can do it with their post-war versions. Draco and Harry being together as they were teens is simply just...not okay...and swings pretty far from canon. It was incredibly toxic, unhealthy, emotionally and physically abusive, almost fatal in one case...yikes. I usually like to stick to canon or what is established by canon when it comes to fictional relationships. If I were to ship something non-canon, I will be specific about it so as not to diverge too far from canon, and/or I have a really good reason to (still based on established canon).

    I can understand shipping to a point, I myself am a fan of the idea of Harry and Hermione being a possible couple because of the way the books were written. When I was reading them for the first time, I was so sure that it would be Harry and Hermione. And at times I like to speculate how that might change the story. But I do agree with you on the ships mentioned in this video. I don’t get some of the ships that people come up with in this fandom. Just from my intimate knowledge of the world and the characters, I don’t see how any of these ships could work in any universe, because they require too much on stretching the story or changing the characters to work, and some of them are in a sense disgusting. There are times I love to ship certain non canon pairings, but so long as they can be believable within the context of the story without stretching it or the characters into the realm of disbelief, and are actually healthy relationships. Some of these ships in the video don’t make any sense at best, and are honestly depraved at worst. That’s why I usually don’t get involved in the shipping community too much, I just dip my toes into areas that make sense within the lore.

    Having been on the internet for... a substantial amount of time, I can say a lot of these fic trends do trace back to when the fandom mostly comprised of teenage/young adult millennials writing out their fantasies. And knowing the kind of people who hardcore stan Harry Potter today it's not hard to see why these trends have unfortunately stuck... I'm not in the Malfoy/Snape "did nothing wrong" camp but I do enjoy alternate takes on their character without the gross romanticism of them or their actions. I remember seeing a fic once where Draco actually befriended Harry and Ron from the get go and he basically became a fill-in for Hermione but he was still a racist lil prick that Harry and Ron had to re-educate. The fic never finished but it was a nice take on the "Draco in leather pants" trope that didn't make him a full on woobie.

    I think the appeal comes from the shipping war from the "Twilight" saga. People like to debate whether or not Bella should end up with Edward or Jacob, and I've seen reaction videos where people have argued that Jacob had a healthier approach to the relationship up until Jacob imprinted on Bella and Edward's daughter (I personally never saw the movies, so I can't attest to anything).

    Hm, I don't think lots of you understand phenomenon of fanfiction and what's it's purpose. Fanfics are a free pass to the world you enjoyed reading about. It's self insertion for most part, but also it's a way to express yourself. Wether you like it or not fanfics and whole fan culture is a form of art. Specific, no argument, but art nevertheless. For me personally fanfics were a platform for growth, where at first I had read and written those sorts of works that tried to justify existence of Death Eaters and Voldemort. And no, not because I'm such a terrific racist, but because I, as a kid could not believe that grown-up people can be irrational and stupid enough to mindlessly hate on the other group of people for no reason but their own delusion (yes, I was very naive child). So for me personally the fanfics that justified Draco Malfoy or Severus Snape weren't bigoted talk, they were just fix-it fanfics in which the very same way ficwriters tried to fix potholes, they were fixing what for my perception then seemed a pothole too. And honestly, can you blame me? After all, characterisation of the very same Snape or Malfoy in books and movies are drastically different (in movies much better on my opinion). So if the movie can make Snape into a little bit less of a bully incel and a little more of a tragic misunderstood hero, why can't fanfic make him a good guy whose dreams come true? Back to the point the very same fanfiction made me understand that I was initially wrong about my understanding of for example Snape's character. When in movies (from which I mostly took knowledge of the Harry Potter universe) he really was portrayed as dark brooding hero, in the books he was more of a dickhead, and quite a few fanfics let me realise who he really are. Anywho, yes, shipping is weird, but it's also fun when you don't think about it much (and sometimes you can stumble upon an actual masterpiece that way better than 50% of rubbish printed our day to bookstore's shelves

    So, when people like incest, grooming, rape, etc that is what's called proshipping. Proshippers defend that since it's fiction, it doesn't affect reality, so all of these immoral and messed up things are then subsequently amoral. The worst part is that proshippers are usually adults, and then they pray on children and teens and make them believe there is similarly nothing wrong with these depictions (which if we're being blunt is more often than not sexualized and fetishised). I honestly truly cannot fathom how people are okay with these ships. Some try to excuse it by saying they were victims, but just because they're a victim doesn't mean they can't participate in harmful practices that hurts other pre-existing victims, and could even lead to knew victims. I don't mean to be on a soap box for this, I just find the tolerance (not pointed at Smarty Pants or this video, all of what he said was great) of proshipping by some to be weird and disconcerting as a victim myself. I could really keep talking on this subject, but I feel there's not much of a point, so I'll stop here. I hope everyone has the day/night they deserve and stay safe.

    I really believe that the people that write those types of fanfics where these characters who are clearly incompatible, are written to be together. This person clearly doesn't understand complex emotional connections or how they're developed. Mostly it's children who get ahold of certain concepts and are developing sexually that write these things out. That's how I have to understand it because if it's adults writing this type of stuff, my faith in humanity grows dimmer and I didn't think it was possible.

    100% agree. Can't stand shipping culture when they change the characters entire personality just so they can justify shipping them with someone else. It might as well be an original characters at that point. Snape/Lily, Snape/Harry, Draco/Harry, Draco/Hermione, Voldemort/Literally Anyone, Bellatrix/Anyone, I honestly just can't stand them. People can read what they want and if people enjoys some of these pairings then fine. I just find they don't fit at all with canon and you really need to jump through some pretty crazy hoops to even try and make them work.

    On the bright side, a lot of ships between adults and underaged characters are written & read by people the same age or younger than the underage character. When you’re twelve, and have a crush on Snape, a fanfiction between 15 year-old Hermione and 50 year-old Snape doesn’t seem extreme at all. As someone who used to read romances with ridiculous agegaps when I was a kid. The people who wrote these will look back in a couple years and cringe hard.

    In what world that is a bright side?! Kids need to be taught about those stuff being wrong, and in my opinion, IN SCHOOL. Maybe, have a story that teaches children about that. I don't trust teaching important stuff to children by the parents because some simply don't have them. Also people like Gabe Agreste and Gabe Ugliano exist. But there would always be those parents who don't want their children to be taught those because tHeY wOuLD bE eXpOsEd..

    @@CaptainvonDore Yes, kids should be taught how to avoid predators but that’s nothing to do with what I was talking about. there is a massive difference between actually doing something and writing a fanfiction about it. These kids aren’t climbing into the backs of strange men’s vans because they have a crush on Snape. Exploring feelings through weird fanfictions is a completely normal part of growing up. It’s cringey and a lot of people who do it are definitely predators but most are just naive children and I think it’s unfair to suggest that it should be policed. Also, what are pass marks?

    Truthfully idgaf what people ship but I can say in fandoms this phenomenon of purifying evil/neutral characters for the sake of romance is prominent and weak af. I don't watch or read HP but it's in every fandom and it always plays the same way. The favorite is usually a villain of some sort and they woobify tf out of that character to a point it's another character. I say do whatever ship you want but for the love or mercy keep the character intact. Why even ship them if so much ends up changed? People can do what they want but I personally don't understand how anyone gets joy out of it. I think this problem has a lot to do with how fandom policing content too. If something is problematic (a troupe, a ship, etc.) people tend to harass the fan creators and sometimes the actual creators. Trying to clean up characters/troupes could be some people's way of avoiding the mob mentality but fandom space used to be so different. If you didn't like something just block or move on unceremoniously. I can't say if that's HP's fandom's issue but a lot of fandoms I've been in tend to have that problem. Purity culture fans still harass the writer for NBC Hannibal because he supports fans shipping whatever they want how they want if that's an indication of anything. It's insane.

I’m a big fan of Touhou, but a really gross “ship” some fans like is between Remilia (despite being canonically 500 is referred to as a child in universe, and treated like one), and her maid Sakuya (an adult). Apparently, the age gap power imbalance gets cancelled by the employer/employee one. It doesn’t. It just makes it so, so much worse.

    Sorry, not sorry I unironically read Voldemort x Harry. In fact, that's pretty much all I read from the HP fandom. I don't ship them in a romantic way, though, I absolutely cannot stand tomarry (young, handsome Tom) or stories where Voldemort regains his handsome features so he can be romantized. For me, the appeal is the psychological torture, exploration of deeply problematic things like narcissistic manipulation or Stockholm Syndrome, or just straight-up body horror. To me, Voldemort's obsession with Harry in the books already reads deeply stalkerish, obsessed, and semi pedo, so why not lean into it and make it more adult? On the other hand, I hate Snape x Harry. It's just weird.
