The non-star wars part of this reminded me of “Vivian James”, the fictional child invented by pro-gamergaters who was immediately sexualised. Except that back then, I was in proximity of far more fascist spaces than I am now, so I’ve directly seen fascists use vivian as a tool for propaganda moreso than this new character. I guess that’s a personal victory for me?

    yes! it's extremely vivian james. there is a difference in that james was created defensively: the chans came up with a girl puppet both to have a girl avatar with which to claim they were not sexist, and because they thought such an act would be understood as vaguely feminist. there's no such pretense with malfoid. the character is explicitly racist and promulgated by self proclaimed racists

    Now that I’m thinking about it more, there’s also some stuff that could be said about how the main ship you see is with harry. Fascist x cop pairing aside, back in my day you didn’t need this heteronormative bullshit, you’d just write your yaoi mpreg fic and be on your way.

    If you’ve seen the above expressed in some sense before, that’s because I have successfully stayed out of this shit
