World's stupidest discussion.

Really.

And it's ALL MY FAULT.

This one girl keeps telling me that Harry Potter "just isn't gay or bi". For some reason, this is really pissing me off. We know the character isn't gay, because we can read his mind - but that's not proof that he is, in fact, straight. He could easily be bi. I think we need to have more than one crush on a girl before we can accept that as proof that he'll never have a crush on a guy, is all.

That goes for *all* characters, everywhere, in everything. Heck, that even goes for me. As far as I know, I'm straight - but I could be very, very wrong. At 22 (am I that old already?), I'd be a bit surprised, but it's definitely possible.

Back on topic, this conversation would be a lot less stupid if I'd just leave well enough alone and go away from it.

We weren't really speculating anyway. She posted saying she'd actually like to see a *good* Harry-is-a-girl story for a change, instead of the dreck that this idea always produces. One of the thing she mentions is that, if Harry were a girl, of course he (she!) wouldn't have a crush on Cho. That got my dander up. I mean, why not?

It's just that I've see people get into some pretty nasty arguements over this topic and it's really such a moot point. I don't CARE what orientation he is.

I think that's what happens when you involve yourself in "slash" anyway...you get lots of "dreck". Honestly, the vast majority of "slash" and "fanfic" seems to revolve around the repressed sexual behaviours of the writer than anything ever intented by the original author or anything the character would do, unless someone is incapable of writing their OWN story with their OWN characters and their OWN plotline.

And no, I don't much like slash.
