ahahah i'm starting to think that you're much more angelic than me ;) *giggles* but then, i take these things much more personally, i dunno why. i suppose it -is- funny, not -offensive-, really, it's just... they're like assaulting his character or something. which is ridiculous, but there you go. i hate it when they write things about my babies which simply aren't true. ahahahah. man, that's messed up. (but i -do- feel protective of harry & draco & luna. it's weird. i mean i don't think it's -just- my attachment to my harry plushie talking. i totally relate to them as if they're real, but then i'm always like that about characters i adore. i remember when i loved spock, reading a book where i thought he was out-of-character was deeply, deeply traumatizing to me. i just couldn't even... i was just hurt and upset. "but he'd never do/say that to jim!!!" i wailed, and -resented- him. i mean, maybe that one book was written by a slasher, i dunno, but i was raised on gen, so to speak, so it was rather disturbing, whatever it was. weird thing is, plenty of canon assaults both spock's and draco's depth and truth of character, but hey.)
but yeah, you've stated the issues in a clear way, yes, and harry is totally ooc as well. a lot of people do that to harry though. not that i like it. very very few writers do a really satisfactory harry as far as i'm concerned. i mean, there's ivy & ali & cassie claire maybe & thess & maybe aja. and of course there's just_harry. also antenora for dark!harry. but man, it's slim pickings.
sigh. ahahaha sex-ed video, yah. gahd, i -hate- being preached to, that's also it. i hate having morality thrust upon me in fic, it just enrages me. that's why i think i'd go insane in church faster than working in a post office~:)
i think a truly saintly person would have a very difficult life and have a lot of angst, actually. the world doesn't suit saintly people, which is why there's all this catholic/christian lore about suffering and pain and death being associated with saints, i guess. i mean, you would be tempted and persecuted and misunderstood and it would -hurt- you because you're like... er... Good. and the world isn't. which sucks. so yeah.
also, i didn't mean ul!draco was perfect, just that he is my all-time-favorite draco who could superficially fit into the Draco Cult!draco, but really not, so it's okay. i mean... he's shining bright, you could tell that, aside from his silliness. he's just beautiful and wonderful and snuggly and who wouldn't love him? they'd be insane. not that i mind that because maya makes us buy it, she -makes- him adorable instead of just reasonable and nice. you know? hee.
