hypocrisy

mfs be like "Hermione supremacy (which I'm all for by the way), Ron is garbage and doesn't treat her right, female empowerment essgoooo" while bashing Ginny for being a "fan girl" and having a hot head and apparently giving Harry a love potion despite her doing no such thing being a fucking queen.

[wowsoboring]

Finally one I can agree with. I've seen a few (very few) actual Hermione bashers in the Romione community and l just wanna say: fuck off. There's a difference between criticising her for canaries and hating her for being herself. Hermione is an integral part of Harry Potter. She's lovely, amazing, intelligent and brave. There's no feasible reason to hate her.

As a Ron stan, I’m embarrassed by the rest of us right now. There seems to be a Hermione hate train going through the Ron Weasley defense squad mainly on TikTok. And it’s perfectly fine to call Hermione out for her wrongdoings and criticizing her, but saying stuff like ”Hermione would grow up and be abusive to her kids”, or ”Hermione was horrible friends to Harry and Ron because she never helped them with their work when they needed it”, and I’ve even heard ”Hermione was to blame when Sirius died bc she told Harry he had a ’saving people thing’ which made him go to the MoM which got Sirius killed” …WHAT? It’s okay to not like Hermione, but you don’t have to pull things out of you butt to make her look evil. And it’s also on tumblr and Quora. I’ve heard multiple Ron stans say they wish she would’ve died in the Battle of Hogwarts, and one person even said they wish she died in her mother’s uterus. It’s a little much. And their reasoning is always ”Everyone used to hate Ron so why cant we hate Hermione?” It’s gonna be a repetitive cycle bc then someone will say ”Oh well Ron stans hate Hermione so why can’t we hate Ron?” And then Hermione stans will start hating on my baby boy Ron. Am I the only person that stans both Ron and Hermione? Why do we have to bash one to uplift the other? It’s stupid.

Lol talking out of your ass here. How is Dean a better pick? Or Seamus? Do you see them partake in leadership roles or get outstanding in everything? There's no proof of them being a good leader. Harry had voldemort in his head and just had a hearing at the ministry of magic. He breaks rules like nobody's business, even more so than Ron. And Ron is a good prefect. There's no proof of him being a bad one. He deserved that role and no one else could have gotten it

I never understood why people thought Harry was being irrational by being surprised that Ron was a prefect. To be honest, when I first read Ootp I was surprised too. Ron isn’t the best student like Hermione, neither does he have great leadership skills. Plus we see throughout the book, that Ron a good prefect. He doesn’t enforce rules and barely does his duties (and when he does do them he complains). I think Dean would have been a better choice. I don’t think that it makes Harry a bad friend for thinking that Dumbledore’s choice was weird. (Especially considering the fact that Harry had been feeling left out from his friends the entire summer) BTW this isn’t a Ron hate confession, I think he’s great at a lot of things. I just think being a prefect doesn’t suit his personality.

[wowsoboring]

I've literally called out ron and seen people call out Ron so many times. In the Romione fandom. None of us are reluctant to acknowledge it. Yes I know about 2-3 people who are very hateful of Hermione in the Romione fandom and I have zero respect for them. This is very generalizing. We love Hermione, respect her and everything. The reason why most of us hate ships like Dramione are because they demean a character as lovely as Hermione. The reason we ship Romione is because we feel Ron will give Hermione the space and respect she deserves. Most of the people who "claim" they're fairly critiquing are fairly critiquing. There's no need to really fairly critique Ron when literally every other ship except for Hinny and a few others bashes Ron beyond measure. He gets criticized enough. I am right now acknowledging Ron was not right when he deserted Ron in the first book. He was not nice when he ruined Hermione's night with Krum and didn't ask her how she should have. He was not nice when he was ignoring Hermione because of petty reasons. But he was not in the wrong for being mad about hermione not keeping crookshanks away from scabbers or him dating Lavender. Running away during the horcrux hunt is a gray area personally. If he wasn't wearing that locket and being yelled at by Harry to go away, I'm pretty sure he'd stick. Sometimes you do snap under pressure and when you're being yelled at and this thing is feeding your brain with insecurities and validating your deepest fears.

Here: I criticized ron. If you ask any romione shippers to acknowledge Ron's character flaws, we will do so gladly. You just have to ask.

As a Hermione fan trying to dip a toe into the Romione fandom, why in the whole world are Romione stans so vitriolic against Hermione? Nearly all of them have Hermione-critical or anti-Hermione tags. And then when asked, they just say that they are only fairly critiquing. Well, where is your Ron-critical tag? Your anti-Ron tag? Fair is fair right? The rhetoric there seems less like they think Romione is a genuinely good ship and more that Ron’s a good boy and so deserves the trophy of a girl. I’m a few days in, and I think I’m about completely soured on the ship.

a common romione conversation

Hermione: Ron please be reasonable

Ron: Hermione, I'm ready to put up with anything. Literally anything except for that evil, bloodthirsty buffoon

Hermione: don't be so dramatic, Ron

Ron (scoffs): Dramatic? have you seen him? His evil eyes? His conniving aura. He's more dodgy than You Know Who himself.

Harry (very confused and worried): who are you guys talking about?

Hermione (exasperated): crookshanks.

combating bullshit harry potter arguments, Harmony edition, #3

Here we go, guys. toxicharmonyshippers on instagram has once again found some weird shit the toxic Harmione stans say. Once again, I would preface this by saying that I have no big problem with Harmione and only run after them when they bash my favorite characters and ships. This time, I am expecting the rant to be comparatively shorter but let's see where the tide takes us through the course of time.

1)

I just scoffed while reading this absolute bull. I have a huge problem against those who want to essentially compare fiction with reality in such a negative way. Relating to a fictional character, cool. Having a little healthy crush, fine. But this is not good, man. First of all, this is clearly mocking us. And sometimes I don't even fucking understand why we need to defend Ron and Ginny. They have done weird hormonal bullshit which they more than made up for. I, to this date, don't understand why you need to bash the Weasleys (well, except for the twins and Bill). I feel like whoever wrote this has this weird holier-than-thou mentality and this is what I dislike about the Harmione community. Most of them pull of this shit and want everyone to treat them with the utmost respect we can muster. It doesn't work both ways, my dudes. Now the word flawed, I don't mind much. It's good to admit your flaws and learn from them like most do. Like Ron, Ginny, Hermione and Harry did in the books. The word that bugs me is 'unworthy'. Unworthy of what? Are you saying people who like two normal good guys in a fictional world aren't worthy because they like characters that you don't? Is this what you mean? Because that's what I can gather from this tidbit and I don't like how it sounds. How are you better than me in any way? And why are you correlating and writing these things without even thinking for a second what the gravity of your words are? I could never do it. "Hey, I'm unworthy of success and money and love because I think Ron Weasley is a good character, because I like Romione, I will fail and die alone." You're making a caricature of yourselves, it's not even funny anymore, I kind of feel bad.

2)

Now we shall talk of paradoxes. Throughout this series of rebuttals I've maintained my composure and didn't sink to their level of impropriety. How are we like religious extremists for liking a perfectly fine fictional character? We aren't stanning Voldemort or Draco or shit. This is Ron. Even if someone likes the trainwreck movie!ron is, it isn't close to religious extremism. You sound more radical than any Romione shipper I've encountered. Harmiones are paradoxical wonders.

3)

oh yes, this is the epitome of this holier-than-thou mentality I've been talking about for so long. I would rebut this and say mean things about their ship but that is not what this series is about. So once again, I will not sink to their level and just ask you, dear reader, to read and analyze this and the stupidity in this statement.

Just one question; what reality? When did Harry and Hermione kiss except in Ron's locket horcrux vision? Is that a Harmione scene? Asking for a friend. Oh no, wait, I don't want to be friends with you. It's not about you shipping Harmione, it's solely about the hypocrisy of your statement and your black-and-white perspective. I see all the greys in the spectrum. I'm not stupid enough to dislike people in real life because of their Harry Potter ship preferences (except if they were one of those death eaters x hermione/harry ship, then I would judge). Harmione, though I don't ship it or care for it, isn't weird or creepy. These toxic people in the Harmione community seem to have the savoir-faire of Narcissus. Not a good thing.

4)

not going to fall for this shit today, not in the mood, man.

5)

as a fan of harry potter, I really don't take any of JKR's sayings after canon remotely seriously. She earlier said she loved Romione in an interview, she built them up in the course of 7 years. She wrote 7 books which were building up Romione with no Harmione content. That was a publicity stunt, along with the whole "dumbledore is gay" shit. Bitch tells you to take Cursed Child as canon and you want me to take her seriously. She's a transphobic hypocrite who became an attention-seeker to remain relevant when she could have been like John Green or Rick Riordan or anyone else who people love.

6)

ugh! you seem ridiculous to me. what right to complain do you have? just fucking leave us alone and mind your own business! is that so fucking hard. God!

[wowsoboring]

Harry always turn to Hermione for help & vice versa, which she often does. He cared about her more than Ron did, supported her more than Ron did, understood her more than Ron did, saved her many more times, didn't abandon her out of jealousy because Harry is more mature than that. Ron lack discipline, tact or any kind o intelligence & the only thing they share is Quidditch which was only through Harry. Harry is better for her, Ron is always the one trying to hold her back for his own self-worth.

“Harry always turn to Hermione for help & vice versa, which she often does.” Okay. . .and?? T-that’s what friends do, in case you didn’t know. 

“He cared about her more than Ron did” Harry is not the one who begged to be tortured in place of Hermione but go off I guess. 

“supported her more than Ron did” BAHAHAH okay go read the books

“understood her more than Ron did” We are talking about the same Harry James Potter right? The boy who could never comfort crying girls, who never understood why Hermione was upset? Ron was the one who comforted her when she was crying. 

“saved her many more times” Again, that’s what friends do. 

“didn't abandon her out of jealousy because Harry is more mature than that.” If you’re talking about the scene in DH, Ron left because of the horcrux. And he tried to come back immediately. 

“Ron lack discipline” So did Harry. Neither of them were very mature in the earlier books

“tact or any kind o intelligence” Ron beat McGonagall’s chess set at age 11. He suspected Lockhart of being a fraud before anyone else. He got 7 OWLS without trying, the same amount as Harry. Just because he didn’t like studying doesn’t make him stupid. Intelligence comes in all forms, and you lack all of them. 

“& the only thing they share is Quidditch which was only through Harry.” This part of the sentence just doesn’t make sense. I  have no idea what you’re trying to say. 

Harry is better for her Yes, except for the fact that Harry loved Ginny and Hermione loved Ron.

 Ron is always the one trying to hold her back for his own self-worth. ISTG are we talking about different characters? Ron never held Hermione back, and Hermione would’ve never allowed it anyway. 

I’ve go to ask. Why do you toxic harmione shippers feel the need to bash Ron and Ginny in order to make your ship work? I’m a hardcore Ronmione & Hinny shipper but I can see how Harry and Hermione had potential, without bashing Ron and GInny. 

[wowsoboring]

draco: welcome to the "f*ck ron weasley" club, where we share our hatred for the repulsive redhead. let's welcome our newest member, uh...ron...weasley?

draco: why are you here, dipsh*t?

ron, deadpan: to share my hatred for myself.

[wowsoboring]

I love your rant against the Weasleyphobic Harmony shippers (not the Harrymione shippers who ship it for fun without bashing). However, the Reddit and the HMS HHR discord community disturbs me a lot. I find a ton of Ron hate all over there, claiming he is a toxic, emotionally abusive war-deserter, and that Romione fans who only Ron stans who ignore the "boys will be boys" mentality and that deep down, they know that Ron is someone who makes you cry, bails on you when the going gets tougher. WTF?

It’s got a lot to do with the whole holier-than-thou mentality. Ostracizing Ron for essentially giving into his insecurities. They will ignore the fact that he regretted it and it was a spur of the moment. The going didn’t get tougher, either, when he ran: it was during an argument :). He came and he was by their side throughout the war and didn’t bail on them. In fact he destroyed two horcruxes :)). Essentially the thing you have to admit as a Ron stan is that Ron isn’t perfect and that’s the whole point. So you can’t hate on Hermione exactly because logistically speaking she is just as imperfect as him (the book version at least). These people latch on to anything. They see someone criticizing Hermione and they will get their knickers up in a twist because, why not? Criticism and skepticism for these people is equivalent to hatred. You must know that what they speak has no logic but for that you must accept Ron’s flaws and applaud his character development. You have to call them out on their hypocrisy. You can’t use their weapon against them, you have to emerge as a better person and use levelheaded arguments and then your battle is won. Always be certain of your arguments and have more evidence to back it up. These people essentially allude to a group of Romione shippers but prove little to no evidence. Use that against them.

Deconstructing Baseless Harry Potter Arguments#2 (i) : Harmione Edition

Obviously I once again do not mean to target all Harmione shippers. I know quite a few who're very good human beings and tolerant and accepting above all. However these aren't. In this case, you might sense quite a bit of levelheadedness in the beginning, however you must not be fooled as it goes south and takes a nasty turn very quickly. Don't get your hopes up, this is some of the worst shit I've ever seen, especially the way in which it progresses through its course. Naturally, for this post I have picked my own style of writing which will match that of those redditors. Reddit is the perfect breeding ground for all these weird cults, honestly. I shall be resorting to a formal language and style of conversation, very much like a debater would to sound as pretentious as these do. These posts are found on the instagram handle toxicharmonyshippers who gather such toxic musings and sayings for Harmione shippers while respecting the ones that are nice.

1)

Oh yes, let's use words like 'vehemently' to sound smart, why not? Of course, this little tidbit of the highly stupendous post seems more or less civil at the start. They also have the common decency to say "some Romione shippers" rather than generalizing all of us. Very nice of you, how very saint like. Let's wait till they drop the act and show us their true colors. Harkening back to the argument, I have but one question for you, "where do you find these people?". Where's the proof? Who are these radical Romione shippers who worship Ron and dislike Hermione? I haven't seen any such shippers and I am surrounded by Romione shippers on tumblr, instagram and fan fiction sites as well and haven't met the people you speak of. Some point out her flaws, yes, but no one hates her or dislikes her that much. I have seen two or three Romione shippers across hundreds and thousands who're skeptical of Hermione's perfection. Skeptical. Not hating, disliking, or anything. Of course, unlike this person, I have evidence: find these pi charts for your referral (clickable): https://imgur.com/a/QfPnQbB

you can, through these, see the amount of Hermione bashing across Harry Potter fanfiction and you can see that even in Romione fanfiction there's more Ron bashing. Hermione-bashing is a non-issue. That's what it is. Regarding the "nagging" statement, where's the lie in that? "Annoying" is somewhat subjective, I personally don't find her annoying at all. Who are these people and how often do you find them? "Mary Sue" is only reserved for Movie!Hermione. I have only seen book fans call her that. No one has ever called Book!Hermione Mary Sue. The movie does paint her as a flawless, all-rounder who's also drop-dead gorgeous. Only things she's bad at are flying and divination, all of which she denounces as useless, even though flying is like biking for wizards, divination, sure, not that important. with a teacher like Trelawney, even I would denounce it as hokum.

2)

Remember what I said about waiting for them to show us their true colors, well here they are. Bask in the glory of their senseless arguments. Why, I am from reddit, heck I have 25 thousand karma points on there, I just left because it was too stupid for me but I can argue like them very well. And in this case I would like to say that these people are under the impression that Ron is just there in the story for the sake of existence. And he doesn't work hard. That argument is of course, wrong. Because Ron (in no particular order):

1) fights a troll when he's 11

2) is willing to sacrifice himself when he's 11

3) stands up for his friends

4) makes sure Harry feels like he belongs in the family

5) worries about Harry and rescues him from literal jail

6) stands up against Draco rather than by-standing and enabling his behavior

7) tries his level best to make sure Norbert the dragon is in safe hands and carries it out, albeit not in perfection

8) is with Harry every step of the way in his confronting the basilisk

9) sends Harry and Hermione long letters and calls them often to check up on them

10) stands up on a bitten leg to defend his best friend

11) always apologizes for any of his mistakes and is forgiving when others wrong him

12) works his way to join the Quidditch team unlike Draco who most certainly bought his way in

13) destroys at least 2 horcruxes

14) finds out how to defeat a horcrux

15) has an excellent enough memory and observation to notice Harry speaking parseltongue and also using it to his benefit which proves he's resourceful

now since I have 8 more such pictures to rebut and I do have a life, I will stop. These aren't even a twelfth of the remarkable things Ron has done though, so rest assured.

oh wait what did you say about him just existing and not working for anything? If I recall correctly, he did just as well as Harry did in school and didn't score well only in subjects he didn't care about. Which is true for most people except for Hermione who has an eidetic memory which not everyone has, understandably. Rote memorization is not the best way to get by in life, by the way.

what are the "so many reasons" behind why Harry is the best fit for Hermione? Kindly share so I can rebut those too, I'm rather free nowadays, my finals have been cancelled. You say there are so many reasons but don't even give one, yet you want me to take you seriously. I'm afraid that's impossible.

Romione shipper here, i don't dislike Hermione. I haven't met or seen many people in the book!romione fandom who dislike Hermione (except for Movie!Hermione). The question of someone you like ending up with someone you dislike doesn't particularly make sense. In Friends, Chandler ends up with Monica: now I'm not the biggest Monica fan (I don't hate her but I don't like her very much either) but they are my favorite couple because they make sense. It's about compatibility and character traits, not liking or disliking because that's just a set-up for a ghastly invitation for people to pair up hideousness. "Oh yeah, I like Harry and I also like Hagrid, they should be together. I mean it would be very very disgusting but that's my logic, now, you can't fight it. "- that's how you sound. Please read what you write. Your logic is just...abysmal. That's all I can say without breaking my resolve and berating you with colorful profanities.

3)

This is without the doubt, the easiest one to rebut. It's a delight to see such terrible arguments at my disposal. Come on, dear Harmione shippers, write something that makes me question my choices, not things that make me scoff in disbelief.

In this case, you're essentially providing us with theories. Unproved theories and speculation of what you believe because you'd say anything you like. Where's the proof of your theory, though? Where is that crazy radical Romione shipper who does this? Kindly show me these people. Oh yes, you wanna say we objectify Hermione and disrespect her and view her as a prize. This aches me, that you believe this. No one has ever insinuated this, ever, in the history of anything. What is this winner-loser theory? How do you round off Harry Potter to "an alpha-male ends up with lead-lady" trope and still say you're a fan of the series? Harry Potter doesn't fit in with that format. Ron, Hermione and Harry are co-heroes. Similar to how there's no main character in Friends or the Heroes of Olympus series or the Avengers. We're not living in the 80s anymore. Hermione will be a hero, invariably whether she ends up with Harry, Ron or no one. She ends up with Ron and that's it. Talking about her like this doesn't make you sound any better either. Now you're calling me a misogynist because I don't support the ship of two people who describe themselves as siblings. That's very mature of you. Well here's the thing- I'm not a misogynist. It's as simple as that. I believe that women are capable of anything and everything. I believe Hermione is an amazing person and she is a hero and a different person. I believe the series would be impossible without her. I believe she is no one's prize. There's no requirement of a prize. I just think, similar to canon and the truth and her romantic interest, she will have a great relationship with Ron. There's nothing complex or deep about it, really. No personal weird-thing, no psychological complex, no internalized misogyny. There's nothing deeper than what I said. I am not sexist. I am a feminist. I am all for women empowerment. I love women with the fabric of my being. I love Hermione. I think she's amazing. You only become sexist when you ship people with unstable power dynamics, a bully-victim relation or something of the sort. Neither Romione, nor Harmione are sexist. Heck if you paired Neville with Hermione you wouldn't be sexist. And I hate talking about this so much, I can't even tell you. This talk does make it sound like I treat Hermione like an object and I assure you I respect her and I normally won't talk like this unless someone just outright calls me sexist for something that's not sexist. And this is that situation.

4)

in the case of Romione, no one is too good for anyone. Both are amazing people who're heroes and have done amazing work. That's all I have to say. There's no league, they are romantically interested in each other. I have no intention on sounding lame, but, in love there is no league. As long as you're not putting in any effort and are extremely lazy and leech off of your partner, there is no such concept and no, Hermione is not "too good" for him. Unless of course you're talking about movie Hermione, who is too good for anyone.

5) (halftime!)

oh yes they try to pull this off and wonder why we hate them. Classic. This person likes to sound british, so let's switch up our language, yeah? At least then I won't be out of my element. Let me correct ya, Ron at his best is an amazing, loyal, friendly, brave, strategic hero. There you have it. Ron and 'git' can't be used in the same sentence. Now if you talk about Ron's achievements, I re-iterate you to point two. If it's too much work, here:

1) fights a troll when he's 11

2) is willing to sacrifice himself when he's 11

3) stands up for his friends

4) makes sure Harry feels like he belongs in the family

5) worries about Harry and rescues him from literal jail

6) stands up against Draco rather than by-standing and enabling his behavior

7) tries his level best to make sure Norbert the dragon is in safe hands and carries it out, albeit not in perfection

8) is with Harry every step of the way in his confronting the basilisk

9) sends Harry and Hermione long letters and calls them often to check up on them

10) stands up on a bitten leg to defend his best friend

11) always apologizes for any of his mistakes and is forgiving when others wrong him

12) works his way to join the Quidditch team unlike Draco who most certainly bought his way in

13) destroys at least 2 horcruxes

14) finds out how to defeat a horcrux

15) has an excellent enough memory and observation to notice Harry speaking parseltongue and also using it to his benefit which proves he's resourceful

hey, see, I like Ron and I took the time to copy-paste this instead of asking you to scroll up. And I'm a lot of bad things but I am not lazy. I stick to my deadlines like Hermione. I start my homework in library class and continue it during phys ed the day its given. And I am not exaggerating. Bloody hell, I wish I was. I'm the ceo of deadlines, mate, don't tempt me! So you can see that Ron is much more than just a "nice bloke". And being a "nice bloke" isn't a bad thing either. He's all the things I said: intuitive, strategic, helpful, loyal and on top of that he's also a nice person. Yes, I do see a bit of myself in Ron. I do. I see the insecure side. I waste my time hating myself and criticizing myself and undermining myself, telling me I'm no good. But Ron overcomes that. He inspires me to appreciate myself. Is that a bad thing? Are you going to shame me for having a low self-esteem? Do you want to worsen my low self-esteem and make me feel more like shit?

Now the person who replied to your comment saying, "he isn't a nice bloke most of time.", he is. He is not being nice twice in a span of 7 years. How often do you act rudely or with jealousy? Wasn't Harry yelling at everyone in caps lock in OOTP. Now I don't condemn him for that because he's a fucking hormonal teenager like me and that would make me a hypocrite, but by your logic why don't you condemn him? Or why not condemn Hermione for saying "I only date good Quidditch players" and shoving canaries at Ron's face because someone else kissed him, while she kept using Krum and Cormac to make him jealous. She wasn't being a nice girl, then, was she? Now, once again, i don't dislike her or hold that against her because guess what, mate, I'm a hormonal teenage girl who gets jealous most of the time and would probably react in a similar fashion in the spur of the moment (Not defending her actions here, just putting myself in her shoes.) In short, Ron is a nice bloke MOST OF THE TIME.

6)

It would be misogynistic to think that. The thing is, NO ONE DOES my dear friend! My dear daft friend. I have never heard anyone say that! why are you so hell-bent on portraying us as misogynists when no one ever says that? Stop assuming. Just stop. You are crossing a limit here, aren't you? Yes you are. You cannot say these sort of things. We never said that or believed that, no one ever said this to be a reason to ship Romione. God what is wrong with you? Literally, stop fucking ASSUMING god damn it! Do you want me to assume things about Harmione shippers? Do you want me to go there? Because I will go there! I will go there the moment you tell me to. Just challenge me.

Ron is not a perfect best boi , the reason why so many of us like him is that he's imperfect and tries to become better through the course of time. You are once again assuming and I am once again asking you to stop.

Ron might be an ordinary wizard. He might be poor, sure, but he's a pure-blood and won't face much if he chose not to fight. But he did. He fought. Now I identify with Ron's attitude a fair bit, but I am also likely to spend my day in a library without noticing. People aren't one dimensional. Stop trying to act like you're a psychologist, i know you're not. I don't even think Hermione's overbearing at all! You just insulted someone you're a big fan of. Jesus.

Both Hermione and Ron are strategic, jealous, passionate, feisty, argumentative, intellectual...

that's like 6 similarities. They aren't polar opposites in the slightest. Their differences are just: workaholic, not workaholic. Nerd, not a nerd. Like that's fucking it, man!

8)

being relaxed doesn't make you less independent or driven. A relaxed and levelheaded Hermione will think through things, not be impulsive, not panic etc. She doesn't need Ron. I don't understand your obsession with acting like we ever insinuated that. Then she doesn't need Harry either lol. Stop shipping her with Harry, then or like shut the fuck up. Being a bit relaxed won't stop her or anyone from hitting great strides. Just don't get relaxed to the point you're lazy and casual about everything, that's it.

9)

What do you mean? Ron is balanced. He does finish his work on time. And even if he does procrastinate, she could also help him not and be more driven. Of course, this is an open invitation for you to call me a sexist bitch because I said that she could help him and now you'll think her goal is to help him become better yada yada yada. Fuck off. Defeating the horcrux taught him enough. He respected her. He remembered about the elves when she didn't. He begged to be tortured instead of her. He wouldn't need it because school work and jobs are different and the same person might perceive those differently. Calmness and relaxation doesn't hinder your potential. Not caring and laziness does. You can't function if you work and are stressed 24/7 with zero breaks. Period.

10)

No i do not want (nor does anyone want) Hermione to become Ron. Being slightly calmer doesn't change up your personality. I'm sure many people dislike those sort of fanfics without a doubt. I hate OOC and I don't want Hermione to lose her intellect with Ron because that makes no sense. Ron himself is intellectual and loves arguing with her. They'd boost each other, more like it.

okay thats it i am exhausted as fuck. thanks for reading, i appreciate it. notes and reblogs are appreciated, this takes work.

Ron Appreciation on reddit

So I found this post in r/harrypotter which is a subreddit for all things Harry Potter and contains a generalized majority of Harry Potter fans. Most are canon-shippers and fans of the books here and I see a lot of Ron appreciation, so this is one of the top posts of today which points out his intuitive skills.

so this made me happy! and there's quite a few good comments

though i'm not the biggest fan of jkr, it's important to separate the art from the artist and I wish she respected Ron more than she did.

I myself respect divination personally and I do think Ron had a knack for it. Due to the peculiar nature of Trelawney, he got repulsed by it, even though Trelawney was naturally skilled. Would have been nice to get a more formal and coherent teacher. If some professor like McGonagall taught Divination, I'm sure even Hermione would develop respect for it.

i do agree that Ron is very underrated in Chamber of Secrets and plays a very important role throughout the book. In fact, it seems to me a prime example of how resourceful and loyal he is. He is involved in some of the most action packed scene and provides a lot of intuitive insights. And the ones about Lockhart really were on point. At some point they seem vague and maybe that's why they're true but after a certain point in time he makes so many true ones that it stops feeling like a coincidence.

me too, mate, me too. Steve Kloves just sucks, that's it.

i tried to look for Ron bashing because the trend with most pro-Ron on reddit warrant a lot of bashing in the comments.

[wowsoboring]

Essentially the trend of Hermione bashing in Romione/Ron stanning culture can be easily rebutted.

case study: Archive of Our Own, the biggest, most uncensored fanfic repository

Out of 877 works that contain the tag "Hermione Bashing", 26 are Romione fics. 2% of all Hermione bashing fics are Romione fics. 0.17% of all Romione fics on ao3 bash only Hermione.

moreover, out of a total of 14758 romione fics, 26 bash only Hermione.

proof (clickable): 887 fics

14758 Romione fics

26 Romione fics bash Hermione only (I say 26 because the first one is tagged weasley bashing [except twins and bill] which includes Ron)

Deconstructing baseless Harry Potter arguments #1: Harmony Edition

There’s a very helpful account on instagram (this instagram page merely gathers toxic harmony shippers, they don’t ship Harmione or hate all Harmione shippers, please don’t send them hate, show them love and support) where you can essentially find stupid fucking bashers who make baseless arguments. I’m all for Harmione shippers, as long as they don’t denounce Romione, bash Ron and just peacefully co-exist. To my pleasure, such people are out there: they just dont seem to be seen as often as the ones that are not nice. Maybe all I see is the mean people and the majority is nice, but in this post, I am attacking those who make baseless claims and bash Ron/Romione/Hinny/Ginny. I don’t myself hate all Harmione shippers. On top of that, as a Romione/Ron fan, i do acknowledge Ron’s character flaws along with Hermione’s and I hold them on the same pedestal.

This is copied directly from my own instagram page, granger.weasley_ on ig.

Anyways let’s get deconstructing

1)

rebuttal:

Yeah okay mf; maybe don’t compare real-life relationships with fucking fictional ones. Your relationship going wrong has nothing to do with Ron/Hermione. It has everything to do with you and your ex: the *real life* people involved in it.

2)

rebuttal:

The weird subreddits and discord servers also seem to have a lot of die-hard Harmione “non-canon” shippers. They bash Ron and Romione (along with Ginny and Hinny) with a burning passion without any objective sense of remorse. They ignore all the merits of Ron’s character and bash him to push their agenda. They can’t even do so much as fucking acknowledge any of Hermione’s character flaws but still somehow manage to fixate on that one time when 11 year old Ron just shit-talked one line while Hermione had just publicly humiliated him in front of the Charms class and practically shouted at him for doing the spell wrong just before. I personally don’t because Hermione was 11 too and wasn’t that good at social cues that early on, which is more than okay. Neither am I.

Only a few people in the Romione fandom bash Hermione. And it’s not like Harmione shippers (most, not all!) don’t bash Ron and Ginny remorselessly, right? The fucking hypocrisy.

If someone considers Ron as the best member of the trio, it is their own opinion and not a fact. I do that. If you consider Harry and Hermione as the best member of the trio or in the whole wizarding world, most people don’t give a flying fuck and probably won’t argue with you because it is simply an opinion. That will only happen when you pass that off as a fact.

Statistically speaking, most (not FUCKING all) Harmione moments are in the movies. The weird dance scene especially. The passionate kiss that happens in Ron’s vision, shit like that. Ron is pushed to the sidelines in the last set of movies while Harry and Hermione show each other endless love and support. “I’ll go with you”. The books on the other hand, describe Harry and Hermione as siblings multiple times, with very little Harmione references.

3)

rebuttal:

So you don’t want us to fixate on the large majority of Harmione shippers who do the exact same thing, just kissing Hermione’s and Harry’s ass and hating on Ron. However you will fixate on people who are most likely not EVEN bashing or hating but pointing out a few character flaws in Hermione in a fair and unbiased way. I would know, I’m a huge fan of Hermione as an individual character (in the books). The only criticism I’ve seen of Hermione to this day has not been bashing. In the comment section of my own fics (shameless plug) I’ve seen some Hermione bashing. On an ao3 comment section. And I’ve seen so damn fucking many people bashing Ron, Ginny, the Weasleys etc. and garner tens and thousands of upvotes on quora.

What does Ron even need excusing for? The running away incident and Krum. What does Hermione need excusing for? Canaries, contributing to Ron’s insecurities by making him jealous through Cormac and Krum even though she didn’t even like them (especially not Cormac, she fucking hated him). Ron wore a locket that literally highlighted his fatal flaw (insecurity) in an echo chamber. Harry kept getting annoyed when Ron wanted to check in on his family. Harry asked Ron to leave; Ron didn’t say that shit in the books about Harry’s parents being dead: that was plain shock value.

And sorry for repeating myself but I have seen quite a few Harmione shippers bash Ron and Ginny and excuse every single thing Harry and Hermione have done.

4)

37 upvotes on this weird comment that makes no sense? Echo chamber alert! You know what us Romione/Ron fans all have in common? We have never experienced such an echo chamber. I made a pro Ron/Romione post on reddit and got a considerable amount of people who bashed Ron and Romione in the comments.

The amount of Hermione haters is very few compared to Ron bashers. Nobody hates Hermione for being independent, determined, etc. We dislike perfect movie Hermione who’s an unrealistic image of females and seems like some sort of agenda than a real woman. Most Romione shippers/Ron fans and book fans in general (except for you apparently) dislike movie Hermione and still are fans of realistic book Hermione. Most, not all. In general, we do not claim anyone who does the exact same thing to Harry and Hermione that these sorts of Harmione shippers do to Ron, Romione, Hinny and Ginny. I say this on the behalf of all Romione shippers and Ron fans.

Ron’s not a bitchy lay-about drama causing loser. That’s Steve Kloves’s movie Ron. In the books Ron is realistic and simplistic and apologizes whenever he causes problems. He acts up substantially twice in a span of 7 years where he is also a hormone-fuelled teenager.

This is so contradictory and juxtaposed to the point of near delusion. First you talk about how Romione shippers bash Hermione and then you bash Ron as a Harmione shipper. Mate, fighting fire with fire will get you called a hypocrite. Fix yourself.

5)

So the movies are fine when they work according to your agenda? And yes how dare he add such a (fake) chemistry fuelled moment between Harry and Hermione while defeating the entire purpose and groundwork for Romione, the sadness caused by Ron leaving and so many more things? Those Harmione moments you mention seem friendship -esque more than anything else.

Steve Kloves’s moments ruined many things while just paying fan service to the Harmione fans he’d birthed through years in the course of 6 movies where he showed Ron as a, how you so eloquently describe it, lay - about drama causing bitchy loser, Harry as one dimensional and Hermione as a zero - dimensional Mary Sue who might as well be the main titular character. Obviously Harmione fans such as yourself don’t see the problem with it as it fits your narrative

6)

We do care about Harry and Hermione at large. Most Romione shippers rightfully bash Draco, Pansy, etc. not particularly Harry and Hermione, that’s quite rare. Harry and Hermione can get along without Ron as friends. Ron and Harry can also get along without. Hermione as friend. So can Hermione and Ron without Harry as friends or more. I don’t understand your point and how what you said is any different than Romione or Ronarry’s friendship.

7)

Constant arguing is not what they do. They bicker, they apologize, and sometimes they just do it for the heck of it. They are argumentative teenager. Opposites attract doesn’t work in the sense of fire and ice, it works in the case of Brownie and ice-cream. Ron is passionate, laid back and insecure. Hermione’s passionate, a workaholic and not as insecure. Ron can help her get calm and composed and get her to give herself a break. Hermione can motivate Ron and re - enforce his confidence.

It wouldn’t be step incest. Harry and Ginny do not regard each other as siblings. They do not look similar whatsoever. And a Harmione shipper also bashes Hinny and Ginny along with Ron and Romione? Checks out

“ that fucked up Harmony” hahaha. What?

8)

Are you literally going to date someone on the basis of what Harry Potter ships they prefer? That is so shallow end depraved. Your Harry Potter ship preferences should not be the groundwork for your dating life. Please understand that. Harry Potter is a fictional world which is not real. Hogwarts doesn’t exist. Magic doesn’t exist. I sound like a Dursley but that’s what it is: a fictional realm with fictional character. I would personally not give a fuck if my best friend or significant other was a Harmione shipper. In the case of them being a Ron basher, I would ignore it as if it was just a minor inconvenience and something we wouldn’t be discussing and that’s how it should be with you. Fuck BuzzFeed, your opinion on what Harry Potter ship / character is your favorite says squat about your personality and relationship with others in a romantic or platonic context. But who cares? Live your life however you want. I’ll be stoic.

9)

It’s not opposites attract rubbish or high school opposites attract. Ron and Hermione aren’t polar opposites like I said, they are a bit different but similar too in many ways. They have a lot more in common than Harry and Hermione. Ron and Harry have the most in common. Both Ron and Hermione are passionate, loving, argumentative, caring, etc. Your argument lacks substance. It’s biased trash. And what does “obhwf “ mean?

———————————

at the end of the day, i’m just an annoyed teenager. I try my best to be open-minded to people but only as long as they are too. I tried to use my brain more than my feelings for this post. 

[wowsoboring]

[wowsoboring]

 I’d say, by shy I mean anything to do with romantic feelings. He obviously isn’t scared of like arguing with her (or for her) or literally be her hero at times. But I feel like through the course of time, especially spending so much time as “friends” and seeing other people and whatnot, Ron would be scared of asking her out and take the first step in changing their dynamic. He’d be contemplating non-stop, feel like she might reject him and other sort of anxieties. None of Ron’s other relationships (relationship, I mean), had him initiating anything. It was Lavender who snogged him, he felt like someone liked him and wanted him, so he went along with it. Hermione initiating the first kiss in canon says a bit about this too. I mean, yeah, you’ve been friends with someone and then you kind of fell in love with them halfway through (and you’re also somewhat insecure) so you’d naturally be scared of getting turned down. I’d say Ron is shy and hesitant in that regard. In general? No, he isn’t particularly shy or scared (if you leave spiders out of it). He is one of the bravest characters for sure.

Ron does apologize mainly, which yes, I hate too. Seen that fic that is LITERALLY about Ron apologizing? Like okay, either both of them need to apologize to each other or none of them do at all because like-why. Hermione’s never held accountable for anything in so many of these fics.

I’m fine with physically fit good at sex Ron, I get the point of smut. I don’t feel like questioning such stuff, its hard to write awkward smut anyways, so if both of them  are conveniently very good at sex, i really don’t mind. i just don’t like the ones where Ron does weird creepy shit. (very weird creepy shit I don’t wanna elaborate, and no one really questions it, people just read along. I have maybe seen like 3 people genuinely being honest about how they like fics and when they find stuff weird)

A rant about Fanon!Romione

Well, since I’ve read quite a bit of Romione fan fic in my life now, I noticed a theme of character mistakes/weird things in general that i dislike about fanon!romione/fanfic!romione. So let’s get into it. the list goes (in no particular order):

Dominant/straightforward Ron: I don’t read much explicit stuff so i’ll largely talk about mature/teen rated stuff. I don’t understand how Ron will be straightforward, direct and dominant with Hermione ever, unless he was either under the influence or like a completely different character. Ron is very shy. he is brave, yeah. but bravery can still leave you awkward, introverted and insecure (see: Neville). So Ron ever making the first move sounds weird to me. By first move I mean first kiss, first sexual encounter etc. this doesn’t extend to heartfelt stuff like “i love you” or proposing because by that time, with Hermione, Ron would have enough confidence to do that. However, in the beginning stages there is no chance of him just saying “i love you” to her out of nowhere or kiss her in as early as Half-Blood Prince. Need I remind you, Hermione initiates the first kiss. Hermione might be insecure but she is much more confident than Ron is in making the first move. So yeah, low chance of Ron randomly kissing her, telling her his feelings for her etc out of nowhere. That would probably be led by a conversation initiated by Hermione which led to some encounter. Ron himself initiating any of this is far fetched in the Hogwarts era.

Hermione’s always right: I believe how fanfics treat Hermione in so many Romione fics has caused me to dislike her in fanon (i still like her in canon), because again, even if she does messed up, questionable things in canon/fics, she will never be held accountable and will always come up with some excuse and gaslight Ron into apologizing. I’ve seen this so many times: Hermione behaves poorly- making snap judgements in AUs, jumping to conclusions and not listening to anyone else, saying extremely mean shit to Ron in certain arguments etc etc. but she’s never held accountable. We forget that she kissed Krum in 4th year (gross! btw) and continued sending him letters in front of Ron to make him jealous. We forget very conveniently that Hermione also does anything she can do in her power to make Ron jealous. Even saying stuff like “I only like good quidditch players.” which is so rude and uncalled for. She sure does make Ron jealous, however there is a good chance she increases his level of insecurities way more and as a result, pushes him away. She also attacks him with canaries- that is actual physical violence, right? But in fanfic, its Ron who will apologize for dating Lavender or Yule Ball or something. Hermione will ridicule Ron for being jealous, though. I have seen fics where Hermione almost gets with Ron, then deserts him and goes snogging other guys but since it’s written from her pov, she always gets away with it. Y’all know Ron wouldn’t get away with this!

Fanon!Hermione is like Movie Hermione: i think at various points, fanon!Hermione reminds me of movie!Hermione because of how excellent she’s portrayed to be in these fanfics. Now Ron is mostly written as Book!Ron which I can appreciate, of course. However, Movie!Hermione is not suitable for literally anyone. She’s too much of a Mary Sue. If you made eye contact with Movie!Hermione you’d explode from how bloody perfect she is. If you dated Movie!Hermione, you’d just feel like shit because you wouldn’t be even comparable to her. In essence, Fanon!Hermione is always perfect in every regard:  she is emotionally intelligent, romantic, everything and everything that she isn’t in the books.

Ron is a bit of a perv: seriously, most of these fanfics include Ron being a weird pervert, just constantly having sex dreams about Hermione, wanking in the shower etc which is perfectly fine. Some even have him stealing her underwear and shit like what the hell is this? This is Ron Weasley! I’m sure teenagers are sexually frustrated sometimes, I would know, I AM one, but come on, this isn’t even hot. Otherwise it’s just Ron ogling Hermione and it’s written as if he’s a pervert. If it’s the other way round, no one even seems to mind! Now Hermione doesn’t really mind this in the fanfics but I still cant get around this.

Convenient perceptions: people in fanfics have made quite a few convenient perceptions, especially for Hermione. Most fics suggest that Hermione didn’t kiss Krum and that Krum kissed her. Ginny practically describes it as snogging. Now Ginny might be exaggerating- it could’ve been a one sided kiss, it could have been a mutual peck. But it’s almost always one sided. IDK just sounds like you’re writing up a narrative to make her look like an innocent person and Ron look like an asshole.
