~~ the frustrations of draco identification.

er. so i wrote this rant-type-thing after the slightly fiasco-like draco panel. only slightly-fiasco-like, and that's all personal discomfort related. but mostly it's that my roommate asked me how can i like both harry and draco at the same time, soooo.
    draco is the patron character of the lovers of disenfranchised "misunderstood" nasty boys (or girls?), rah-rah sadism & fuck those stupid suicidal do-gooders, right. at least, you'd think so judging from the attitudes of the people with the slytherin get-up. heh. or is that the fringe element? hee. i remember at the snape panel this girl saying, well, i identify with snape because there were people just like james & sirius who used to beat up on me in high school, and yah, now i want revenge (read: to kill them all). ahahahah. um. she wasn't exactly "normal", even at nimbus, even at the snape panel, but still.
    people who like hermione like "brains" and rationality (maybe not everyone, but way too many intellectual-type grad-student fans seem to like hermione-but-not-harry-or-ron for it to be a coincidence-- same with people who like draco-but-not-harry). also assertiveness and masculine femininity, no-nonsense tough smart chicks who know what they want.
    people who like snape. . . .

etc. it seems that because the characters in hp are so polarized, because they sort of stand for different modes of behavior & different ideals, there is a conflict of interest in a way, in playing for different teams, so to speak.
    kitsune13 would know that even i got caught up in the separatism & said that we're all hypocrites.
    how else to explain it, in a way?

( i try, i try. )
