Re: fandom confessions

[(Anonymous)]

Tumblr has given me an irrational dislike of the Hufflepuff house. I used to think I might be sorted there, but after seeing aesthetics full of friendship bracelets and cozy blanket forts and soft frolicking through meadows in sundresses and "being the mom friend" and etc I just... nope, not me. At all.

Not to mention, a good portion of annoying SJW types seem to sort themselves there.

Tumblr has given me an irrational dislike of Hufflepuff AND Ravenclaw. I mean, I am definitely "the mom friend" and I'm also Slytherin 4 Lyfe so a lot of the fluffy aesthetic crap rubs me the wrong way. Plus, a lot of the Hufflepuffs in the books are total dicks? So.... where exactly are we pulling the fluffy sunshine bullshit from?

They sort themselves there because Hufflepuff is the "inclusive" safe space house, whereas Ravenclaw is elitist, Gryffindor is bullies, and Slytherin is racists.

It is weird because any real reading of the internal politics of Harry Potter certainly has to make Gryffindor the only house that is at all committed to social justice in a meaningful sense.

But I think people decide these things as much on aesthetic than anything else - which I would argue is at least as coherent a reading of the houses as any other - and the whole cozy aesthetic is big right now. So that's just kind of how it's going to be. I mean, whatever the fandom has done with any of the houses, it's not like JKR actually presented them as flexible and deep. The actual version of the house system in the books is fundamentally really shallow, see for instance has Slytherin being like 98% racist and evil.

Ehhhhh. It's definitely Flanderizing the house, but it's not like the houses weren't Flanderized pretty badly by JKR in the actual books. And the stuff that fandom points to with Hufflepuff *is* genuinely part of the Hufflepuff makeup - only one part, to be sure, but still fundamentally part of it.

I don't know, I'd certainly prefer a broader and more flexible definition of all the houses in fandom, but it could be a lot worse. And fandom being Flandersy doesn't stop you from doing anything you yourself want with the whole Hufflepuff jam.
