This will definitely come as a shock to nobody, but the fact remains, I just don't -like- `evil'.
Stephen tells me I'm a "very moral person" and that's just kind of ridiculous, in a way, since I severely dislike most ethical systems and "rules" in general. But I just realized that I think I have a bone to pick with the glorification of evil in the HP universe in particular or any universe in general. Its fictionality is besides the point to me, because it's not the hypothetical story that concerns me but the reactions to that story. I am just concerned about the trend to subvert "the authority" (the Good Guys) to such an extent that all empathy is left behind as the spoils of this war. There are definitely healthy ways to aesthetically depict and appreciate pain and sadness and horror-- but the sheer mindless enjoyment of them... I dunno. It concerns me.
( No, actually, it pisses me off. A lot. A lot lot. A WHOLE BLOODY BARRELFUL. *coughs* um. Especially if you bring Draco into this. Oh boy -.- )
