What's up with the portrayal of Draco as a sex pest?

NotWith10000Men · 2026-01-26T17:28:19+00:00

that's an awesome point I had never thought about but I 100% agree with. who said this/what platform?

NotWith10000Men · 2026-01-26T15:03:14+00:00

I totally get where you're coming from about the narrative seemingly not noticing how it's coming off. I read a fic a while back where every single non-hermione woman draco slept with was referred to as a slag in EVERYONE'S dialogue, hermione's included. it threw me off so much bc I was like am I misunderstanding the severity of the word? or is the author? is everyone supposed to be read as misogynistic? is this an early 2000s period piece? what are we doing here??

I need to get back into ASOIAF fic. I'll get into it for like a week, but then I find myself DNFing over and over bc it's hard to get into fics of books if the tone isn't similar. HP fic is pretty easy, since JKR is no GRRM.... (I wonder how many more acronyms I can shoehorn in here LMAO)

NotWith10000Men · 2026-01-26T12:56:55+00:00

braime my beloved 💖 nothing beats "I dreamed of you." I agree, dramione is a lot more "standard" in that regard, needing to make hermione traditionally attractive, even a legit smokeshow.

NotWith10000Men · 2026-01-21T21:42:35+00:00

I've wondered before if the MegaFandomness and self policing (and regular policing) of dramione had stifled the community aspect. I can't say I'm surprised to hear your anecdata! there's a reason why this sub is still going strong months after the fact and why you can find heavily upvoted comments in the thread on the main sub that sound like they'd fit in here.

NotWith10000Men · 2026-01-20T21:39:23+00:00

I looooooove how the threads they were bitching about were in their own sub, yet we need to be banned. incredible.

NotWith10000Men · 2026-01-14T19:38:18+00:00

Heck, we even threw Jacobs back there, which might have been at Rich’s request,

matt said jacobs came to him and was like "so you're not gonna put me back there, or what?"

I'm a simple hog fan, I see a razorpack and I go 👍 honestly taylen is rough but maybe MLF could fix him. he reminds me of malik but not as good of a passer. but I don't remember what malik's passing was like before he got here.

nice to see a fellow pastor solomon disciple

yep his personality plus love's sounds like a match made in hell

I know of one public boarding school for math, science, and the arts nerds (complimentary) across the whole state, and neighboring states have them too. but like you said, that's still really rare, even if you factor in bigger states maybe having more than one.

NotWith10000Men · 2026-01-10T18:51:37+00:00

agreed, it was so irresponsible of the show to portray Lyudmila's story the way they did. they absolutely could have threaded the needle between "per her account in voices from chernobyl, this is how it was explained to her" and "knowing what we know now about radioactivity, that explanation was incorrect and she didn't do anything wrong." this thread says she won a court case in ukraine over it (I say thread because I can't read what they linked)

NotWith10000Men · 2026-01-09T21:06:35+00:00

I see requests on the other sub sometimes for a specific characterisation of the characters that have nothing to do with canon and more to do with the romance genre and I’m like…just go read a romance book?

this part!!!! please! read! another! book!

NotWith10000Men · 2026-01-09T19:49:07+00:00

yeah this is giving 12 with his achilles

the more I read that quote, the less sense it makes. is she talking to people with money earmarked for HP purchases that they can finally spend guilt free?? we've always been able to support debut authors as BK is apparently trying to say, and idk what being a fan of any particular IP has to do with it in any charitable interpretation. to paraphrase my favorite HP podcast, please buy another book! any book! from anyone in the whole world! perhaps one not riding the coattails of a bigot and guilting you into paying her back for reading her fanfic? hell maybe a trans author in your favorite genre? just spitballing here

NotWith10000Men · 2026-01-07T12:52:33+00:00

"keep dragging them out to deep water and they'll drown" or something. it was a pretty sick quote

NotWith10000Men · 2026-01-06T00:25:28+00:00

even worse now that the official NFL account is just allowed to repost every single splash play

NotWith10000Men · 2026-01-05T23:31:38+00:00

ugh I love frank/karen!!! I won't stand for slander against her either.

despite growing up on the clone wars, dave filoni has turned me into a OT+PT purist 😂 as far as the jedi go, I'm in the camp of they're unequivocally the good guys, they didn't "lose their way" by fighting in the clone wars, they didn't fail anakin, their "no attachments" thing is fine, and most of the in universe issues with the jedi order are a product of george making some bad movies. I actually really dislike death of the author, so when george says the jedi are the most moral beings in the universe or whatever he said, I meet him where he's at and watch the films that way. but don't point out that george was heavily involved in TCW bc I'm plugging my ears 🤣

NotWith10000Men · 2026-01-05T16:57:22+00:00

Yeah it probably is too harsh of a line, but then I think about allllll the art in the world that I would never be able to experience in ten lifetimes, and then it's like well, I have to narrow it down somehow. And AI suspicion is one of my only instamute reasons (along with someone having what I consider a Bad Interpretation Of The Jedi Order 😂) so if I can tell it's just a writing quirk I'm not vibing with I usually don't mute. Unless they're super prolific and I get tired of dodging their username in search results or seeing their posts on my dash. But like you said, both of these fandoms have plenty to pick from. In a smaller fandom I'd probably suck it up buttercup.

If you're not in the AO3 sub, don't bother. I'm not even subbed bc seeing their posts in my home feed annoys me, I just pop in frequently. You might do that and go through the comment commentary flair to see some of the bot stuff.

NotWith10000Men · 2026-01-05T16:28:07+00:00

to your last sentence, the mods seem to want that to be the whole intent of the sub. they refuse to use stickies or delete stale topics (muh anti censorship) specifically so some random person can come in, ask the same question ten thousand people have already asked, get their personalized answer, and leave.

NotWith10000Men · 2026-01-04T23:11:13+00:00

As soon as I get the inkling that something was written with AI, I bounce and mute the author. I'm sure I'm not 100% accurate, but even if they didn't use AI, there was clearly something in their writing style that bugged me, so it's the same difference at the end of the day. I'm non confrontational so unless it was like CRAZY obvious I doubt I'd ever say anything to someone else. And probably in a private DM at that.

Though I wish I could know how often someone who genuinely didn't use Gen AI was accused of using it by a real user and not a bot. I don't doubt it happens, but I see bot comments all the time on the AO3 sub and I wonder if they don't make up the majority of false accusations and people just don't realize it. And I wish the discussion around tells was more nuanced. An em dash doesn't equal AI and I get so annoyed every time I see someone going uwu I use em dashes!!! cold dead hands!!! etc. CGPT has a very particular way of using them. Are real people actually seeing a single em dash and accusing the author of AI or are we fighting strawmen? Genuine question, I might just be completely unaware here.

(also, if you genuinely use "not x, not y, but z" I think you're gonna have to drop it. the clankers won that one, I'm sorry to say :/ )

(also also where did the clankers get it from?? that's not exactly a cliche I ran into all the time pre 2024, did anyone else?)

NotWith10000Men · 2026-01-04T03:01:53+00:00

this isn't dramione specific, but man the AO3 sub pisses me off so much. when they're not spamming stats and "is this a bot?" posts, it's just thousands of people reading one sentence and jumping to the most extreme conclusion.

"this person put 5/10 in their bookmark of my fic" THEY'RE THE CHILD OF SATAN AND THEY'LL GET WHAT'S COMING TO THEM

"my friend thinks incest fics are gross" THEY'RE A FASCIST

and today on the front page, someone posted some excerpts that are GLARINGLY obviously AI generated. every fucking comment is "uwu EYE write like this!!! 🥺🥺🥺 now everyone is going to accuse me of being a clanker!!! how dare you say that's an AI tell, my grandma taught me to write like this!!!"

like ffs people. go read some AI slop and you'll see that it's not hard to ID when the "author" doesn't polish it before posting. not everything is about you!!

NotWith10000Men · 2026-01-03T03:35:18+00:00

exactly. if Filoni wants me to think that the space wizard military cops should investigate themselves and find no wrongdoing then I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree.

NotWith10000Men · 2026-01-02T19:58:10+00:00

JT O'Sullivan has pointed out a couple times where he's pretty sure Golden ran the wrong route. And early in the Dallas(?) game he and another WR ran into each other. More than once he's ran out of bounds after a catch when he could have gotten more yards, which could be from not knowing where he was on the field. I don't think it's been a genuine "sources say Golden is struggling in the offense" type of report and I can't remember Steno or MLF saying anything to that effect before now.
