Re: bad fandom opinions

I generally agree on Melkor and Sauron, partly due to the way my RP partner characterised the way Melkor worked - he persuades, shows people something "better", treats them well unless they misbehave and defy him.

I like the House Elf thing treated as a crossing of two different cultures. I do agree with Ketita's comment that the portrayal of the issue was very inconsistent, so I think there is room for different interpretations on how much they need to work for someone. The point that I think is unequivocal is that mistreating them is a bad thing, but canon never got Hermione that far and she only ever wanted to completely free them from their positions without thinking how she was also destroying their support systems in the process.
Now that I think about it, it's a little bit like animal rights activists who go and break animals out of captivity... and the animal die because they have no idea how to live in the wild. House Elves can be seen as being like that - they don't know how to live outside service, so just getting them summarily fired is not the way to help them.
