Who cares? Remus was supposed to be everybody's favorite gay uncle, anyway.

(Anonymous) 2014-06-18 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
on what universe? in the warped minds of snupin and puppy shippers?

(Anonymous) 2014-06-18 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
And also the warped mind of Alfonso Cuaron.

When it comes to HP, his mind was pretty warped ngl. He is a great director, but he had little understanding of the source material.

When you make a character a blatant metaphor for HIV, you can't get mad at people who expect him to be queer.

and the guy who infected lupin was a blatant metaphor for a fucking sicko pedophile. i can understand why she decided not to make remus gay. not that i think it entered her mind in the first place.

Rowling's Potterverse is all straight, all the time. IDEC what she did with Dumbledore outside of canon.

(Anonymous) 2014-06-19 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
you have issues if you think that. anything an authors says is canon. is canon. because they you know created it.

(Anonymous) 2014-06-19 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
...I assume you're kidding. If you're not, I've got a good fifty years of literary theory and a wide variety of specific examples to share with you.

Oooh, does this mean you get to quote "death of the author" at us?

'Cause I hate to break it to ya, the Snapewives have abused that so much you don't want to get in that boat.

Yes because only gay people get AIDS and HIV.

(Anonymous) 2014-06-19 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
No but in the minds of society, even moreso 15 years ago, gay men and HIV are linked. Remember how the thing used to be called the "gay cancer"? Give your (older) gay character some tragedy? Go with AIDS. Metaphors work on societal perceptions, not facts.

(Anonymous) 2014-06-19 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
I suspect the commentor above you may not be old enough to remember that time.

Going by the age Lupin was infected (and other things like Remus being able to go to school only because of the kindness of Dumbledore), JKR was going more so for Ryan White than Rock Hudson. Also I can see the fandom accusing "traditional minded" JKR of making Greyback turn Remus gay with all the pedo molester parallels going on with Greyback.

It's still offensive as fuck to do it nowadays. I'm homosexual, so yeah. Shut up and quit using offensive stereotypes as reasoning why a character is gay.

(Anonymous) 2014-07-16 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
no one cares what you are, shitbird, cos that doesn't change that no one can retroactively change the misconceptions fuckin past

(Anonymous) 2014-06-19 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
I can definitely see the metaphor, but...I mean...the concept behind his lycanthropy is pretty standard. And the way people react to him is how people react to infectious individuals.

(Anonymous) 2014-06-19 10:36 am (UTC)(link)
Fuck you.
