[Harry Potter secret]

Look, I get that "magic is cool" and all. And I can get daydreaming about being a wizard. But in HP fandom I see a disturbing amount of pureblood supremacy apologism and victim blaming the muggleborns and everyone else the Death Eaters hate, or just trying to romanticize being a pureblood Death Eater. Like fiction=/= reality and I staunchly believe that. But I wish I knew why seeing anti-muggle comments and complaints of "muggle wank" sometimes aimed at fics that dare to suggest that a wizard can still be into muggle things just irritates me. To the point where the word "muggle wank" makes me almost want to punch a wall.

I feel like a hypocrite. I argue that writing dark fics doesn't mean you approve of the behaviors. But I feel uneasy about romanticizing the whole rich pureblood thing. And maybe I'm just tired of people who think because they would throw themselves completely into the wizarding world that /anyone/ would.

I'm kind of glad I haven't checked back in on the HP fandom in ages, because this pro-pureblood supremacy mindset would bother me too!
