Fans: why do people think he’s a bad guy just because he joined the Death Eaters?
#like i know that some people think he was ‘brainwashed’ by lucius of w/e #and setting aside the textual evidence that says otherwise #and there’s a lot #that still doesn’t make this shit go away #and tbh i don’t understand the huge appeal of him as a character #because there’s almost zero growth #and it’s pretty clear that all of his actions are motivated by fear rather than a moral compass #from where i stand he’s at best tragic #and at worst a cowardly racist and bigot #tbh that does not seem like enough to warrant the kind of stanning i see going on here #myrtle was tragic#abeforth was tragic #hell even filch was tragic #but no one’s making headcannons or shippy fanart of them #so i guess this is just another case that boils down to he’s attractive and young? #idk i can’t even put myself in the draco-loving mindset honestly (via christmasrose)
