Re: MORE PET PEEVES!

[philstar22]

I hate that. Ron is not close to my favorite character, and there are parts of him that really bug me. But it still pisses me off how much bashing there is. If you need to resort to bashing then you really aren't that good of a writer. There are so many other, better, ways to deal with a character you don't like.

I actually ran across a Hermione-bashing fic the other day where it was the typical "independent Harry" story except that Ron stayed with Harry and Hermione abandoned him. On the one hand, kind of refreshing that Ron wasn't the one bashed. On the other hand, no, Hermione is awesome and would not ever abandon Harry and I hate bashing so much.

I agree with both of you (and the OP) character bashing is such an epidemic in the HP fandom. and it's especially bad in independent!Harry fic. My experience with those fics is usually "someone is going to get bashed."

My experience is that EVERYONE gets bashed in those fics, like holy shit did they even like the books in the first place what the fuck

It's been years and I still can't wrap my head around it.

All I can guess is that they project themselves onto Harry a little bit. So I guess they like (or identify with) him. And then anyone who's ever wronged Harry is treated as 'the bad guy' sometimes in ridiculously over the top ways.
