That's kind of the point, there are crazies on all sides, some of us have only come into contact with the crazy ones (unfortunately), and that's how bad rep is born.

Personally most of the H/Hr shippers I've met are the nicest people in the fandom, I have some on my flist and we get along fine, and I don't ship H/Hr and they know it, it's not a problem for them.

While most of the H/G shippers I've met acted like I'd threatened them to death, killed their puppy, or something equally horrenduous if I told them I don't like H/G.

Like it's a sin not to ship H/G.

I liked H/G (and Ginny) better back when it was one sided, then Ginny suffered that personality transplant, and I was left all WTF?! H/G just came out of nowhere.

True. I really do feel sorry for the H/Hr people, mainly because it would be really hard to find sane friends with a similar interest on H/Hr communities.

It's the same in any fandom, I suppose. There's the crazy people, and the sane people who can like something but not be totally driven to converting everyone to liking it and even liking it to canon when it's not (in the H/Hr case).

Eh, who cares. I don't really care for any ship in the HP fandom. And the characters I liked best were killed off. xD; AWESOME. But... huh, that's really weird, how daer u not ship H/G? Okaaay then. o_o;

Haha, yess, I heard about that (as I have not yet read the last book, sacrilegy omg) with the offering her virginity as Harry's birthday present. Just... wut. D: I mean, I get people changing over the course of their childhood, but this was kind of strangely out of nowhere.

I only have one ship on HP, it's Neville/Luna and Jo married them both to other people, and I don't care, to me it's still the coolest more badass pairing from the books. ;D

I think the problem with HP is that the fandom seems to be too obsessed with things being canon, I've seen people who have a real problem with accepting the concept of fanon, of AUs and Alternate realities, and people liking ideas or other routes that were never made canon by J.K.

I've seen people getting angry at her 'killing' some of their theories or pairings (Remus/Sirius slashers come to mind), or 'ruining Dumbledore for them by making him gay. I'd honestly never seeing another fandom being so affected by canon, like if something isn't canon, it shouldn't exist because J.K said it isn't so, it's ridiculous because that's what fanon is for.

Hah, I can sort of see it, it's awesome actually. ♥

It's the same with Avatar, really. Who cares if what you ship is canon or not? It doesn't make your opinion more valid than that of someone who doesn't ship your canon OTP.

To be honest, with the way JKR slaughtered Remus until he was a wibbly pile of pathetic, I'm kind of grateful she didn't canonize my Sirius/Remus because it'd have been... boring. I'd much rather read the fanfiction, to be perfectly honest. xD

...Ruining Dumbledore because of his sexual orienta-

...God, people are nuts. xD

Yeah, I feel relieved my ship wasn't made canon either, J.K had a way of killing personalities just to make characters fit into a ship, poor Tonks, she was so cool in OoTP and then became this ghost.

I kind of understand where Remus' angst was coming from, but still, he was so angry and violent in DH, what need was there to write the couple if both characters were going to be so miserable and treated so badly by her? I think Jo went kind of crazy with pairing everyone up, it was too much.

Ironically enough, to me one of the few pairings she wrote well, you know, with the right amount of forebonding, was Grindelwald/Dumbledore, and it wasn't even that in your face (IMO, at least).

I can't really understand how making a character gay ruins it, but that's twatwaffle logic for you. Personally, I suspected it for a while and DH made it very clear, having her confirm it was just a pleasant surprise in the sense that I didn't think Jo had it in her to come right out and say it.

Hah, yeah. orz; I don't get it either. I mean, I like the world she created and the characters, but what she did with them was really random at times. I found Remus/Tonks to be the most awkward pairing of all, but hey, if that's what floats your boat. xD;

Oh, I do understand his angst because he was the last of the Marauders etc etc, but he went from being the dependable, logical guy to emoez, even when he was just only getting together with Tonks. I'm too old, I'm a werewolf, God just stfu already. xD;

Sob I really should read the final book, I really should. I'm just... I only heard so much bad stuff about it, and I know all the endings already, so I'm really hesitant to even pick it up.

It doesn't change anything about the character's personality or anything, as far as I know. But apparently, now Dumbledore's eeevil and corrupted because omg he wasn't the omniscient, yet oddly unattached character as people had perceived him to be.
