What was a turn-off was Rowling's (and OBHWFers') expectations that we readers must love and accept Ginny because of this. Yes, this is what I meant. I should have added that I wouldn't mind this if someone had punished her for her behavior, or if someone that spoke out against it/pointed it out wasn't cut down or dismissed.
Thank you for your kind words on my Ron rant. I've got to collect those and keep track of them. Poor Ron gets a bad reputation from the Harmony fans, which is a shame. I try hard to defend him to a lot of them, especially Brad. Weasley hate is stereotypical of Harmony fans.
It's tough being an outlayer in this family. So much of the fandom has their mind made up about the other side. I suppose I'm very guilty of this at times, too.
I hope you, too, have a lovely New Year. Hopefully, I'll get some damn drawing done!
