ginny_weasley has written a stunningly articulate and hilarious essay about why Harry/Hermione shippers are utterly, completely deluded. Even if you couldn't give a flip about the het ship wars, this is a funny, snarky, entertaining read.
A quote:
This is an essay that is directed to anybody who has ever felt the need to suggest that Ron Weasley is evil or that Ginny Weasley is a slut. This is an essay that is directed to all those who will grasp hold of everything and anything - including “evidence” from a movie - in a desperate attempt to prove their rapidly sinking ship. I must warn you that I will not be formal, or even polite, so, if you are easily offended, I urge you to continue to read. You could use a reality check before the sixth book hits bookshelves.
And there are no spoilers, in case you're as terrified of coming across them as I am. ;-)
ETA: God, even if you don't want to read the essay, just go and take a look at the nasty comments H/Hr shippers are leaving on the post! I'm so grateful we slashers don't behave that way. ;-)
ETA 2: Okay, anyone else want to unfriend me because I'm OMG so mean? *rolls eyes* Fuck, I don't even read either of those pairings. It's wankier than I thought.
Reality check time, people: Harry Potter ≠ real life, K?
