...This is utterly absurd. Have we now reached the point that wearing Powerpuff Girl underwear will result in you being bullied to death?

I'm really trying not to think about this, since the horrifically unwarranted ennobling of the hateful Emily is actually making me feel physically ill. It's utterly vile.

It also implies that a damn mirror is wiser and can see farther than the Sorting Hat, which is just stupid. I mean, this mirror is more omniscient than the wisest fanon Dumbledore ever was.

Also hate - the vague way it seems to be blaming Kim's mum for Kim's problems, the silly bitch being distracted as she is by being abused. Ugh.

Remember, based on Neil's twisted sense of morality, it's the woman who should be taking action about children, but nothing else. Or they're evil, like that Ginny girl.

I know people in real life get bullied for all kinds of stupid, petty reasons, but in fiction you have to be very careful or you'll end up writing an unintentional farce rather than a tragedy. I've commented on this before back in the Deserving review: the events of that fic would be horrific in real life but read as simply silly.

I can't remember the last time I was this angry at a work of fiction. It's just wrong on so many levels.

Ugh indeed. What a sexist fucknut the author is.

So let me get this straight- Powerpuff Girl underwear will result in bullying and suicide. Nudity, on the other hand, will not result in bullying and suicide even though it's something that Slytherins would probably recognize and be more likely to bully over?

Plus, don't the suicides usually come after years of bullying, not days? I mean, in a better story we can assume that of all the people you don't want to bully, it's a Slytherin, because they'll hold grudges and be able to enact plans to get revenge that a Gryffindor can only dream of (unless they're Hermione or something). So why wouldn't this situation result in Kim using her latent Slytherin-ness to lay a trap and eventually make her tormenters' life hell?

I... just... what the actual fuck.

Does the whole school have their bullying priorities assbackwards or something? I would think Slytherins would mock them relentlessly for the nudist thing. There's a reason one of the most cliche nightmares in media history is showing up to school/work naked.

So let's review.
Powerpuff Girl underwear- Bully bait
Nudism- Completely ignored

I think my bullies in fourth grade were more put together than these morons.

Well, I suppose it makes sense to a degree - most people are nervy about being seen naked because of their bodily flaws and idiosyncrasies, perceived and otherwise... and both Emily and Kim have flawless Sue bodies. Everyone's reaction to seeing them naked would be either raw lust - since nudity is, of course, completely nonsexual - or to gently weep at the divine perfection placed before them.

No kidding. Hell, Bancroft attempted to do so in the LAST story!!

[szaleniec1000]

And that one isolated incident is somehow supposed to serve as evidence of the systematic persecution of nudists.

More to the point, the Scottish Highlands in September are a bit colder than Cap d'Agde in summer.

Yet, apparently, warm enough for three girls to go around starkers in April.

Apparently HE!Snape is fine with students openly screwing in his school with the full knowledge of his staff. I know he's a pushover with no trace of his canon self left, but this is ridiculous even for that

I'm pretty sure even Dumbledore would have a few strong words to say about Jamie actively trying to lose her virginity while underage.

I'm guessing Neil missed that one scene from Goblet of Fire where he's quite harsh toward Harry and Ron.

[szaleniec1000]

Well, she apparently isn't underage anymore but (a) you'd be forgiven for not noticing because she never had a birthday and (b) like I said, it doesn't matter anyway.

[sickbritkid2]

er...Chamber of Secrets, not Goblet of Fire.

[szaleniec1000]

That too. I thought you were making a reference to Michael Gambon's interpretation of "calmly".
