I figured getting back into the routine of things on the first of the month would be the best, but for some reason I got the good idea to look at Harry Potter stories on the pit which somehow involved COVID and I managed to come across today’s doozy.

It's ironic: in order to fight Cursed Child, this fic adopts the same toxic trope from the play: If you don't marry my OTP, you will forever be doomed and miserable.
I want to lock the author and JKR in the same room and let them fight it out.

Of course, by this I don't mean Hermione not getting together with Harry because he got with Ginny. Harry and Ginny works, but it still floors me that when Rowling actually came out and admitted that Ron and Hermione doesn't really work that Harry/Hermione fans jumped on that as proof Harry and Ginny also didn't work which is a major leap in logic.
Then again, should we be surprised that we are discussing this in regards to a Harry/Hermione story?

Like majorly WTF!
There's a reason why the Harry/Hermione fans have a reputation of being the delusional ones in fandom, but this type of Harry/Hermione fan really doesn't do the non-delusional ones any favors.
Mind you, I wouldn't call Cursed Child a happy ending for Ron and Hermione, but it was definitely a happy ending for Harry and Ginny yet we're supposed to believe that Hermione's failed her best friend and so called soul mate simply because shes not given him exclusive right to her body. That's what this is really about if one thinks about it, giving Harry the right to deflower her instead of someone else, but not allowing her to be with anyone else. Even the language used is majorly sexist and misogynistic in nature, but the writer's pretty much declared committing suicide is a better solution than *gasp* getting a divorce ( ... )
