HARRY IS NOT GAY IN CANON :( :( :(
NEITHER IS DRACO. OR REMUS. OR ANYONE, PROBABLY.

I'm sorry, I just had to uh.. get that out before my head exploded.

Though this makes me wonder if 'subtext' could be called canon, since it's so dependent on the reader so you could pretty much see any subtext you wanted. I think I'll make up a theory that Harry is really from Mars and Draco is from Venus and see how that flies.

I have a sense of humor. Really. It's just. It's just. Ow, my brain....!!
...Do they say these things in like, other fandoms?? Should I just run away now, or wait till later??

EDIT - He's at least bisexual, ye gods :P

you could keep your rage, I'll keep mine :))

[malafede.livejournal.com]

you can keep the rage <3 <3 i just disagree with him being, um, capslock not-gay? i just got pissed at the method there.

but the rage is <3

It wasn't capslock!not-gay, it was capslock!wtf, 'cause... wtf. Cho = not gay as far as canon; you can fanfic-it and sidestep it in fanon till you drop, it's STILL CANON. >:O

I hate it whenever people contradict the obvious, that drives me to capslock. I'm like, BUT WHY ARE YOU SAYING THINGS THAT ARE OBVIOUSLY WRONG??! DOESN'T IT HURT YOUR HEAD???!!!!

i don't know if i should enable or soothe you. probably enable you.

cho's a bit different. i just think you can make a queer reading of harry whereas it's not so easy with cho, but that's not the point, i'm finding the capslock cute here. :D :D

I meant that Cho proves -Harry's- not gay, and a 'reading' (interpretation) is different than defining the nature of source text and implying said reading is the One True Reading, as in it being "canon". Ahaha, I said Cho without clarifying wondering whether you'd follow my thought pattern or not. But. Not on purpose :))

Enabling is good :>

and yes, i totally mean the subtext. whether it's rapidly becoming text or not which is why flamewars start, i guess.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

Well, rage is not conducive to predicting canon..
*sage voice*

neither are fetishist fangirls...
but i still feel guilty about saying that...
and yet i said it again...

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

I have no guilt. I'm a bad, bad person.
Or possibly I just don't really care. :-?

[malafede.livejournal.com]

i think my guilt comes from being a bit of a fetishist fangirl myself? or even if i wasn't, everyone should be free to be a fetishist...

not when just speaking with a male character becomes proof of gay though. that's like... these people can have relationships that are not sexual! i swear! you know, this was the sort of thing that annoyed me about sirius/remus. and i guess it was meant to be funny but it sounded a bit too serious at the same time.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

I think I'm at that point where nearly every wrong-headed thing I see makes me twitch & want to start biting people's heads off.

Not that people aren't free to be fetishists, but if it affects your reasoning to the point where you're staying stupid things, it doesn't matter if you're a fetishist or not, you're just stupid, the end.
