Another point I wanted to make is the difference between the content in fan-fiction. I have read multiple Dramione fics to try and give it a chance, and realizes a huge difference between the stories. In Drarry fics, Draco usually goes through a redemption arc and ends up earning Harry’s love. In most cases after the war, Draco proves he is a good person and Harry actually testifies for him not to end up in Azkaban. In Dramione fics, Draco is usually still a death eater and even disrespects Hermione during their relationship. One example of a fic like this is Manacled. Draco or “High Reeve” is a literal R@pist in this story and somehow it’s still a romance? Even if he was “forced to r@pe Hermione, how on earth could she still fall for him? In another example, a story called because you’ll like it by @bedtimefantasies on Ao3, the author writes about a game of truth or dare in which a charm is placed on the players that forces them to do what they’re dared to. Someone dares Draco to preform a sexual act on Hermione and she is given no choice but to oblige due to the charm. The tags of this story even include #SA #rape”. This shows romanization of r@pe which is absolutely disgusting. Although Drarry can also be toxic at times, it’s more acceptable because it’s an ENEMIES TO LOVERS story. Meaning there won’t always be rainbows and butterflies. In the world of Drarry Fanfiction it is much easier to find less toxic stories. Although there are more reasons, I don’t want my message to be overbearing so I’ll stop here. So that’s my stance.
I’d love to hear other opinions, but I want to be clear that my stance on this situation is firm. I’m okay with hearing different opinions, but I will not argue over what I think is correct because I’ve already made points as to what I stand for.
I hope everyone has a positive day <3
