I know it is! That's why I got it! For the pretty ♥
I only think a pairing fails when I can't get into one or both of the characters, and it's very rarely a brain bleach moment for me unless I find the character absolutely revolting. XD I'll agree that most of DMHG fic is very fail, though. "ZOMG HE CALLED ME A MUDBLOOD, HE WASTED HIS BREATH ON ME, HE MUST LOVE ME!" ... Bitch, please. -_-
Then again, isn't that a problem everywhere? :S
I try to keep up, but I really should spend less time on LJ... >_>
Edit for wording fail (and btw, I can't get into SSHG either. It just leaves me "meh" though)
Well, I generally think every pairing is possible, if it'S well-writte. But there are some that I have an irrational aversion against, and DM/HG, SS/HG, and also Black/Lupin are such pairings. I don't know why, it's just an "EW! reaction.
Also, lulz. He calls her a Mudblood beacuse he despises her, it hurts her, and he likes to annoy people.
Yeah, I don't get the "Mudblood is really an endearment" crowd. So, um, would "nigger" be an endearment too? (since most fanbrats tend to be American that's the one they're most likely to get) O.o Takes work, people! Blah...
And I get irrational aversions. I've had tons of them but have worked to kill my squicks. XD I used to be terribly squicked by both Harry and Snape (so FORGET about Snarry) but have now landed at "meh". I think "meh" is a good place to leave it. I only get annoyed whenever someone thinks that they have this AWESOME rec that will totally convert me because... dude... the characters do nothing for me. (Note: I occasionally can read some Harry pairings and like it, like e.g. Draco/Harry and Harry/Pansy but it still has to be really good to not bore me after a few chapters)
Dude, Snape is, like, one of my...no....my defintely favourite fictional character ever. Well, maybe sharing that place with Shylock. Ahem. Can we still be friends? I must ponder this long and hard :P

A lot of these people never post, though. Fortunately. I have a hard enough time keeping up as it is. XD

I have to admit, though, that to me, DM/HG = BLEGH, FAIL, BRAIN BLEACH, PLZ! (Just like SS/HG.) But to each their own ;) I'm more of a H/D shipper.
Yes, I have some friends too who almost never post, but I'm always behind anyway.
