With Malfoid still trending I'm starting to see more leftists, feminists, and neo cons entering the space and using typical arguments to try and steer away the virality of Malfoid
Remember Malfoid is always first and foremost about yearning and she's a biological female. The fan fics and creative arts are derivatives from this statement alone
We may have our disagreements about eye color, first name (lol still? Dracaena ftw), and lore. But never forget Malfoid exists to "make men yearn again"
Okay. So let's lay out the rules then.
1. Malfoid was born female, has always been female, and at no point was ever male or has memories of being male. Since being born, she has grown up as a girl, and Heiress of House Malfoy.
2. The tags name is Malfoid. not galfoy, not Drarry (Gayyyy), not Malfoy. Malfoid. We are not changing it. If it offends you, that is the POINT.
3. Malfoid is about a resurrection of the Mytho-Poetic romantic love story. The kind of story where a noble man and noble woman come together to complete one another. There's some mutual saving involved, and it is principally a chaste and wholesome relationship.
4. Sexifying, pornifying, slutifying characters within the Malfoid tag runs directly counter to the intentions of rule #3, and if you think that the Malfoid movement is the place for your slut like whorecrux behavior, you are wrong and need to go be a slutblood somewhere else.
5. Malfoid is not a "GENDER BEND", because there was no male Draco at any point. Malfoid is the wholesale replacement of Draco as a character with a female who is occupying the same space, with a similar (But not identical) attitude as Draco. Malfoid is a "Gendered replacement". There's no transforming men into women, Malfoid is not Transgender as they were born Female and always have been.
6. The Malfoid tag is not about swapping all the characters genders, making a Harem anime, or producing a show of Harry having lots and lots of women to choose from because suddenly his best friend or dark arts teacher are suddenly female. This runs counterproductive to rule #3, as it dilutes the chasteness and wholesomeness of the Mytho-Poetic Romance that is predicated upon the singular love between two singular people.
7. Malfoid is considered a "Cultural Moment" within a sub-culture that is very large. If you are only here to shit on everyone's parade by saying how irrelevant or insignificant fan culture is, or how fanfiction is a waste of time, or any such nonsense... you can save your breath, we've all heard it before. Go and spend your efforts at demoralization and deconstruction elsewhere.
8. The Malfoid change to the story is integrated, adaptive only in how it enhances, fulfills and maintains the overall story of Harry Potter. Adaptations that improve narrative beats, enhance lore integrations or resolve standing plot points that weren't resolved or were resolved in a dis-satisfying way are preferred over vast departures from this sort of canon repurposing of the fiction. While the purpose is NOT to deviate out of the genre or feel, sheer fun and humor is welcome, provided they attempt to adhere as best they can to rules 1-7.
9. Malfoid is traditional in its romantic sensibilities, and by this nature, is ostensibly a RIGHT LEANING movement. There are many conservative and religious values wrapped up in the narrative tropes and underpinnings of the story, in and of itself, as well as the romantic resolutions between Malfoid and Harry.
We (myself included) are turning what was an entertaining but egalitarian story into an entertaining traditionalist story.
Does Malfoid make sense yet?
If you're a right-winger against this, you're just a faggot wearing a traditionalist skin suit and you're on my shit list.
@archeosophy This has exposed many so-called right wingers for exactly what they are: culture-blind grifters with no real stake in the interior realities of human beings, who offer no hope, have no judgement, and are loyal only to the continuation of their petty grievances
@FringeBtc A poor description. The Ars Amatoria describes being drunk and forcing yourself, promising everything but never paying, and using tricks and lies more generally
@FringeBtc Typical undereducated mutt. Ovidian as in the Ars Amatoria, a foul degradation of love to mere apetite and man to beast and woman to helpless conquest.
