Re: Weirdest stuff you've read online recently
(Anonymous) 2015-08-12 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)Full context:
Person A: "And now I'm starting to wonder whether it's actually problematic for Dumbledore (and eventually Harry) to insist on referring to Voldemort as Tom against his wishes."
Person B: "It's manipulation / psychological warfare, certainly. Especially in the final confrontation between Harry and Tom/Voldemort, Harry uses it as such. Deliberately."
Person A: "Absolutely. But I'm more wondering whether that particular form of psychological warfare crosses a line. There have been all too many real-world examples of the refusal to acknowledge an individual's chosen name/identity being used in the real world to tragic effect. There are too many Leelah Alcorns out there.
We're shown all over the place that Voldemort fights dirty, evil, crosses every moral line like it doesn't exist (and refuses to acknowledge that most of them do) - and that the difference between him and Team Dumbledore is that the latter fight fair, fight honorably. Using the favourite trick of the transphobic bigot in the process seems more than a little problematic in retrospect."
