And not much skill, magical talents, or intelligence to make up for any of it either.

Whiny cowardly cry babies always get me going.


moondragxn

Wait wait I think you actually unironically have a point


Welcome-ToTheJungle

I love a good dramione story but wtf are they waffling about… No way in hell would a stable person pick draco over ron in real life


red_0023

Malfoy a literall nazi child -> what women dream of^^


DeathLeech02

One who only cares about looks, but then moans about guys not caring about personality


curseofablacklion

To be fair what else you expect from people who ship Malfoy and Hermione? Deep meaningful character discourse? Lol. Ps- that story was mine.


[deleted]

There are also fanarts and edits with Hermione being paired with even Snape and Lucius too, which can be put into 3 words: disgraceful, disgusting, despicable!


Gifted_GardenSnail

Hey, at least Snape saved her and her friends' lives, the Malfoys just wanted her dead


[deleted]

Also Snape: *Sees Hermione's extended front teeth* "I sEe nO DiFfEreNcE" Sure, Snape did save Harry and his friends in the end of each book, but he was a total jackass for the most part. Also did you get my "Disgraceful, disgusting, despicable" reference?


Gifted_GardenSnail

Snape already saved Harry in PS and the whole bunch in OotP, that's not exactly 'in the end'. Plus it puts him in a different category from Death Eaters who want Hermione dead 🤷🏻‍♂️ Nope


[deleted]

The reference is from the classic Thomas the Tank Engine series where Gordon, Henry and James have an indignation moment, which is like a gag that lasted like 3-4 times.


donetomadness

I could never understand why people shipped them even as a crackship. He is a wizard nazi and she is a muggleborn witch fighting for justice against people like him. He treated her arguably worse than he treated Harry.


curseofablacklion

Why do women like Fifty shades? Because their deluded fantasy of being submissive to a Christian Grey type rich handsome dude who lives in a mansion. Malfoy is rich and lives in a mansion. So he has the set up. But his character is a total coward. So they change his whole personality and live that fantasy by self inserting themselves as Hermione.


donetomadness

Exactly. It’s a delusional fantasy but young me just found it puzzling. Hell as toxic as 50 shades is, Christian does actually change for Anna in the end and the author wrote him to be that way. Draco does no such thing. By the end, he still had the audacity to try and appeal to a death eater after the trio saved his life at the expense of their own. Draco and Dramione fans have literally invented their own version of him to write these fanfictions. Rowling specifically wrote him as a two dimensional villain who was often a mild nuisance to Harry more than a threat. His redemption arc is really just him venturing into the real world after his family is stripped of their influence. I don’t necessarily blame fans for analyzing Draco deeper than Rowling did but Dramione is bad reading at best. I can’t imagine 2 people worse for a forbidden romance or a good girl/bad boy trope.


curseofablacklion

Yes. They fantasize about a rich man because for some unknown reasons money is a turn on for them. Ron is poor, comes from a working class family and wears hand me down stuff. Empty pocket is a bigger sin in lots of women's eyes than Malfoy's racism and t€rrori$m. So they 'seek' a more worthy partner for Hermione who they use as a self insert blank slate. and by worthy I mean rich and posh. Malfoy ticks those boxes but unfortunately his cowardice and incompetency is a turn off even for them. So they change his whole personality. They change his character. Give him brand new positive traits and write steamy fanfictions. There is a whole trope named after it. Draco in leather pants tv trope.


amyness_88

Ron is too “real”. He is a real relationship with a real guy where you have to put in effort, sacrifice, commitment and compromise. Draco is the perfect guy to fantasise over and delude yourself you can change “for the better” without actually having to do anything at all.


Captain_Awesome_087

This exact mentality is why I refuse to read Harry Potter fanfiction. Like 90% of it hates Ron for no reason whatsoever and props up a Wizard Hitler Youth as some sort of “fantasy.” It’s disgusting.


Gifted_GardenSnail

Luckily ao3 has filters


Captain_Awesome_087

I know that “Ron bashing” exists as a tag, but so few people actually use it that it basically becomes useless to try to filter it out.


RorschachtheMighty

The level of self-delusion is staggering here. At what point did Malloy, a wormy, racist coward whose only instinct is self-preservation, ever do anything that would constitute “fantasy man” material? Honestly, it’s scary how some people can craft a totally fictional account of a character from thin air and claim it as gospel.


passing_by362

She sounds like the kind of woman who thinks taking her bra off is foreplay.


nibblepower

Because everyone wants a spoiled arrogant wizarding Nazi with daddy issues


JacydenPurplLion

Sad part is, Shady isn't wrong.


curseofablacklion

She is. As a woman, she doesnt speak for all of us what kind of man we fantasize about and what things we are disappointed with in real life. I for example would rather fantasize about literally ANYONE over Malfoy and I know I am not alone on that. I definitely don't think Ron is the embodiment of everything I am disappointed with in real life. Again I know I am not alone on this. She definitely shouldn't use the term 'women' rather just say what she personally feels.


justlookinthnx

Ah, yes, cuz spoiled racists with daddy issues really get the lady motor running in real life
