The only reason I think it’s wrong is because it’s minor X adult. Like yeah Voldemort is horrible but crack ships are real and can be nice. Pedophilia isn’t ok though

Totally understand it’s just insane to me that it’s like one of the most popular pairings in the MoD tag

This. However, people can write whatever they want, and I wouldn’t say that people shouldn’t be allowed to explore these immoral dynamics between characters. It’s the execution that matters to me. For example, is the author showing the results of this predatory behavior and the damage it causes to children, or are they defending or romanticizing it? Are they simply exploring the dark reality of this pairing, or are they trying to convince readers that pedophilia is ok?

same i mean you got books like lolita where the author forces you to see the depravity up close but never endorses the relationship and actually shows its damage. depiction isn’t endorsement and you can depict dark and immoral content without actually agreeing with it. however this is ao3 so there’s many many people here to romanticize and fetishize it but like.. fork found in kitchen. 😭

btw, I agree people can write what they want, it just sucks that a large amount of MoD fics have this weird ‘Voldemort was morally correct and in love with Harry’ subplot

Fr, like did we read the same books/watch the same movies deadass?? Voldemort is legit one of the most rancid ass bitch ass people to exist (almost as rancid as JK Molding), and people want to see him fornicate?? With the baby he tried to kill???

Fr, like… just because people share the same opp doesn’t mean they’re compatible? Me and my sister both hate olives— does that mean we’re compatible?? Hahaha HELL NO??? The mental hoops someone has to jump through to make it make sense is crazy 💀💀💀
