I hadn't considered that. Maybe I didn't give those poor fellows a chance to win me over. :/
And haha yeah, I've seen people who ship characters who are actually related, and then say that H/Hr is 'cesty. :P I mean, there are loads of valid reasons not to ship H/Hr, don't get me wrong. That one in particular is just funny to me.
I'm so mad at JK for breaking up my OT3. I seriously, seriously thought she would at LEAST cough up an ambiguous ending I could happily interpret that 2/3 actually married and the third was like, there (probably Harry because he would still be so fucked up and need to take off dramatically a lot and stuff). As you said, like James, Sirius, and Lily. BUT NO. :((((
Sailor Moon - big time. I remember BAWLING when Zoicite stabbed Darien. And when Darien woke her up with a kiss and still was all NO SERENA WE CANNOT BE TOGETHER *ANGST
( ... )
Also even though I could not ship Harry/Hermione (I can't ship Harry with anyone really in a romantic context, only a gen/angst one), I do not see HOW it is incestuous. WTF. And people wave shipping Harry with Hermione or Ron as incestuous, then they cannot ship Harry with Ginny because she is "his brother's" little sister, effectively his too. ROFL.
Hah, why is it that unpopular fandom opinions are always the most fun ones to read? Maybe we are all secret grumps. ;)
I've wondered about the fanon perception of Charlie, too. If anything I'd expect him to be perhaps a bit awkward with a woman he fancies. Not unsexy or a klutz, just maybe not so smooth at putting the moves on. :P
And I think Tonks is 'bad' because she's a girl (and she comes between one of the most popular slash ships). Sad, but that's the gist of a lot of the criticism I've seen leveled against her: she acts 'like a girl'. Whatever that means! But fandom is ever more unforgiving against women.
The unpopular opinions are more fun to write than I expected. *g* It's cathartic.
I find it so refreshing to see awkward!Charlie characterizations. I can totally see him as very large and occasionally awkward and generally better at communicating with non-humans. And this is making me want to write Charlie fic.
Ah yes, lord help the female characters who stand between slash OTPs. No matter what the fandom. *sigh*
Actually, I signed up for the Charlie ficathon today, and seeing what you wrote in this entry made me add a line to my sign-up entry. So thanks for the think. :) It hadn't crossed my mind to, before, but now I feel safer against the rampant randy stereotypes. *g*
Haha, I am okay with this kind of stalking. Hello! :D
People are so irrational about shipping, in most fandoms but in HP especially. They can't seem to simply say "I don't ship it" and leave it at that, they'd rather expand on why it's GROSS or something. :P
