Drarry Fest - Blog Posts

"Drarry is the most heterosexual ship in Harry Potter"

Nine year old me crying after knowing that boys can kiss in the lips too after seeing a drarry fan art would disagree.

Nine year old me reading for the first time the term bisexual after reading a few drarry fanfics would disagree.

Nine year old me crying after reading that Hermione and Ron supported Harry after hearing a protests against homosexual marriage would disagree.

Ten year old me reading pansimione as a secondary ship in a drarry fanfic and realizing that this was not only for boys would disagree.

Fanfic writers in 2002 writing fanfics about them receiving death and rape threats over the internet, having to put the M rating on fanfiction.net because at that time that was something the kids couldn't read because there were gay couples in it, would disagree.

Fifteen year olds reading those fanfics in 2004 feeling hope for the first time would disagree.

Drarry authors being listed as 'Bad Authors' on catholic sites for writing them would disagree.

LGBT+ ships were made by LGBT+ people for LGBT+ people.

Having people fetishize LGBT + couples and pigeonhole them into heterosexual stereotypes doesn't make the couple straight, it makes those people homophobic.

This isn't about Drarry, this about people from the community invalidating something that helped, did something good, to many people who were in very bad situations instead of pointing out the homophobia that causes that to be something for consumption and fetishization by heterosexual people when in fact it was for the community itself.

I don't care that you don't ship drarry, god knows that there's a lot to criticize about them. But calling them straight because straight people fetishize them is bad. We know that there are couples and relationship in tv shows or books that were made for heterosexual people to like LGBT+ couples or to get both sides of the public. Wich is using LGBT+ themes to get money and these acts don't bring anything to the community, because we are not something just to get money that companies can use as they please. However, Drarry was made because people were craving some representation, something to rely on. Like these people didn't get paid, they didn't get followers or anything IT WAS HORRIBLE TO LIKE THEM TIME AGO. Please be aware of what are you saying. Mlm or any LGBT+ ship aren't for the straights to fetishize it, and by saying shit like this you are backing it up.
