The Wank

April 23, 2006: telesilla uses the term "Slytherin apologists", and durins_bane_616 asks what that means. Darkrosetiger explains that some Slytherfen deny that the Death Eaters' goal of blood purity is as reprehensible, or even comparable, to the goal of racists in the real world.

Durins_bane_616 finds that absurd, because it's simpler to approve of racism when it's fiction and denounce it when it's not. Along the way s/h/it alternates between ridiculing those who cannot distinguish between fact and fiction, and claiming to be a Death Eater.

The wank itself is short, but the WTF on fandom_wank is copious. Also, debate among wankas about why racism in particular is bad but evil in general is so teh hawt.

Quotes

"Please do not misunderstand what I am about to say. I am not racist in real life, only in Harry Potter. I realize that Slytherins are evil, and that's why I support them. But I separate that from my real-life beliefs. I think that it is dangerous to excessively analogize books to real life." -- durins_bane_616

"I am certainly no Slytherin apologist. I recognize their evilness, and I embrace it. And I do this because, unlike some people, I have drawn a line between fandom and real life. Scandalous, I know. I am sick and tired of people tearing my head off and gnawing on my insides because I am a Death Eater." -- durins_bane_616
