Subject:Ginny Weasley Just Can't Catch a Break...
Time:06:07 pm
PSA: Grabbed this one off the Wank Report as well.

I'm just agog at the sheer venomous viciousness with which these ... people? (assuming they are, and not just horrible facsimiles thereof) ... are venting on the vivacious Ginny Weasley.

Let's start off with this thread on Portkey. Most of the text is pasted unexpurgated from the wank report, but my commentary is in italics.

Scout : I hate ginny frickin weasley.

She's a fake, cruel, ugly fangirl who knows nothing about the real Harry, and did everything she possibly could to keep Hermione away from Harry.

Midnghtr72 : She is just a cruel little piece of work, with an amazing bat bogey hex that is so amazing people fall in love wit her for it. Really, can't we just get rid of this girl and add more Luna?

Add me onto that list...

thewall28304 : I think it's safe to say we all can't stand Ginny,because her character turned out to be a Jezebel and still won "the boy who lived".

And for a change, Ron Weasley gets a few lumps of his own.

thewall28304 : Most guys I know like yourself can't stand Ron and for a lot of good reasons. I don't understand why any female reader thinks Ron is a sweet person,when he spent most of the series acting like a jerk to Hermione.

Back to the outpouring of hate for Ginny with a small side of Ron-hate also...

lovesharry : MY most hated HP character is clearly Ginny. I cannot abide her and it isn't because she ended up with Harry, even though she doesn't deserve to be with him. As a Harmonian Harry and Hermione belong together. Ginny, quite frankly, be d@mned! She should have died instead of her brother, George!!!

Like I said, I HATE Ginny!

I dislike Ron immensely and it is obvious to me that he doesn't deserve Hermione. What WAS Rowling thinking?!!!

The anon poster on the wank report commented that he/she thought the below was particularly made of special. (I suspect special batshit wankery, personally.)

cakeandmilk :
*Enters a room where she finds Ginny Weasley*
*Approaches Ginny Weasley and gently takes her hands and looks her in the eye*

c&m: Oh my dear Gin-gin, why do you have to exist? You are a mere hindrance to H/Hr. Don't you know that? I mean Cho was wise enough to realize this and she stood back. But you! Are you not clever enough?! Or maybe you do realize that and you just wanted to be a villain against true happy ending??

*Ginny looks at c&m with wide tearful eyes*

*c&m brutally slaps Ginny* SLAP!

c&m: That's for being such a loser of a friend to Hermione, Ms. "Oh-don't-start-acting-as-though-you-understand-Quidditch!"

c&m: Harry doesn't love you! Never will! He loves Hermione! Are you Hermione? NO! You're Ginny bloody Weasley! So, leave them alone!

c&m: and you know what? Maybe you could actually be of use to everyone by being with dear old Draco. Now, that's what I call punishment and reward for you. *wink*

*c&m leaves the room gleefully leaving a stupefied Ginny behind*

Whew! That felt wonderful. So, there. Who says I'm brutal?

Good God. D: JK Rowling should make an announcement about this sheer fucked-up behavior about fictional characters.

PJlikesAUfanfic : Obviously I hate *paints target on forehead of said rodent* the most with super!gingin a close second.

cakeandmilk : Sweet, can I be the sniper? Screw Ginny. She can be hexed by Bellatrix for all I care. Or perhaps thrown off the Astronomy tower by Pansy. May her character suffer many foul and horrible Bertie Bott's Every Flavored Bean and may God have mercy on her soul.

Okay, I'm officially leaning away from the monitor now. Like, "ha-ha, I hope you're not anywhere near where I live because I'm allergic to this particular brand of batshit."

Scout : It's like Molly birthed the idiot and the fangirl, but let ignorant, ill-mannered, moronic, and incredibly stupid apes raise them.

Oh no wait, that was Molly. Sorry.

PJlikesAUfanfic : mad molly, wonwon, & gingin are all poster children of why too much pureblood inbreeding is not a good thing.

PJlikesAUfanfic : ( responding to Midnghtr72's sniping comment )
Yeah, of course you can. I think I'll join you.That makes me feel better now. I needed the cheering up after the week and weekend and Monday I've just had.

The OP says there's more of this crazy cakes on a cracker but I'm just like WTF I don't ever want to see this again. This picture says it all.

My face is going to be frozen in the D: shape for a while now. *facepalms*

I fear for the mean girls who tormented these girls in high school (if they even did! At this point, I'm believing the fact that if a pretty and outgoing girl happened to cross their path at some point, that's enough to hate her)...But their projection onto a fictional character who is in NO WAY A MEAN GIRL is...well scary. If anyone's seen "Billy Madison", these girls are Steve Buscemi's character without Billy's apology. They've got their "To Kill Lists" all ready...

The funny part is, I don't even believe these girls are the "Hermiones" they think they are; besides the fact that Hermione would never speak of other women they way they do, I'd bet they've never even spoke to their "Harrys", let alone have him be their best friend (because they don't seem to understand that you can just be platonic with a member of the opposite sex). Their Harry probably doesn't even know they exist given that the extent of their existence is probably to lurk in the shadows shooting death looks at his "Ginny".

These girls are just the fake, ugly, cruel girls they seem to believe Ginny is...and they could learn a thing or two about tact by acting more like the character they seem to hate so much.

LMAO. I love Ron even more for pissing them off so much.

POOR HERMIONE! CAN'T HOLD HER OWN AGAINST MEAN OLD RON...wait a second...yes she can. In fact, she loves going at it with him (and you can take that in more ways that one after DH...)

And why do they never mention how Hermione is a jerk to him? They're all jerks...Harry being the worst one! But jerk-Harry who makes Hermione all but cry is...appealing? Jerk Ron who get's Hermione fired up is and take charge is...a jackass?

Crazy bitches need to get their priorities straight.

Okay, seriously? You lost. It's been two fucking years and you have still lost. In ten more years, you still will have lost. No amount of screaming, toy throwing, foot stomping, or crying will change the fact that you lost.

For your own sake (as well as my sanity's), please, for the love of God, get the fuck over it.

That cat macro sums all of this up beautifully, by the way.

"Harry loves Hermione!"

If only there was any basis for this statement. You know, like if Harry had given any indication at all in any of the books that he loved Hermione? Maybe I just can't remember every microscopic detail in the books, but I don't recall there being so much as subtext, let alone... text.

And I'll never get why they hate on Ron for feeling jealous of Harry. I'm pretty sure if they were in Ron's situation, they'd occasionally feel a little jealous too.

So, nothing ever changes over on Portkey, then? Good to know that you can rely on some constants in the world. Death, taxes, and Weasley hate on Portkey.

I see Marcella is still doing her "I'm a writer so I know better" thing, lovesharry still refuses to actually read the books, and PJ still thinks she's clever for referring to Ron as a rodent. Will they never tire of the endless circle-jerk?

Seriously though, the vitriolic hate towards fictional characters? That ain't right. Also, that c&m character worries me deeply.

These are the people who make me the most curious about how they're going to feel about all of this in 20 years. Are they going to look back at this and cringe with embarrassment or shake their head at how passionate they were?

Or are they still going to be bitching and moaning over how that slut Ginny and that stupid oaf Ron ruined the world's most beautiful love story? Because honestly, when are they going to LET. IT. GO.

OK, now that I'm over the initial WTF-ery of this, I must ask: who uses the term "Jezebel" in a serious context anymore?

Harmonians: You lost. JKR told you you lost long before HBP. Go for a jog. Bake some cookies. Something, because there are some aggression issues that really need to be worked out here.

I've just finished reading a really bad Ginny-bashing / Molly-bashing fanfic, so forgive me if I sound "a little" upset...

I think it's safe to say we all can't stand Ginny,because her character turned out to be a Jezebel and still won "the boy who lived".

STOP IT with the whole "X girl won Harry!". People don't "win" people. We are not objects.

I don't understand why any female reader thinks Ron is a sweet person

I don't understand why any female reader would hate Ron for the most shallow reasons ever.

I cannot abide her and it isn't because she ended up with Harry

Yeah right *rolls eyes*


c&m: Oh my dear Gin-gin, why do you have to exist? You are a mere hindrance to H/Hr. Don't you know that? I mean Cho was wise enough to realize this and she stood back. But you! Are you not clever enough?! Or maybe you do realize that and you just wanted to be a villain against true happy ending??

This is just... wtf D:. How old are this people? I remember tantrums like that when I was on 2nd grade.

I can't even laugh because they're so immature it stops being funny D:...

It's like Molly birthed the idiot and the fangirl, but let ignorant, ill-mannered, moronic, and incredibly stupid apes raise them.

Any bets on how of these so called Hermione fangirls call themselves "feminists" and show off their Sue version of Hermione as the perfect pedestal every woman should be? While shooting themselves on their feet since, yanno, they equal Hermione not marrying Harry to ruining her life?

Because, wow, such haaaaate towards a girl whose worst "sin" was to marry the guy they wanted Hermione to get together with. I wonder if a redheaded pretty girl ever dated the man of their dreams and that's why they project so terrifyingly much.

She's a fake, cruel, ugly fangirl who knows nothing about the real Harry, and did everything she possibly could to keep Hermione away from Harry.

In what edition of the books was Hermione trying to be with Harry? It sure wasn't the version I have, where Hermione was THRILLED when Harry kissed her in front of 50 people.

Midnghtr72 : She is just a cruel little piece of work, with an amazing bat bogey hex that is so amazing people fall in love wit her for it.

Cruel? Plenty of people in the books do stuff like that hex, and worse, including their beloved Hermione. :cough:Marietta:cough: And from what we can tell, this hex isn't even semi-permanent. (Ginny obviously hexed the twins, but when Harry's talking to them about this neither one is disfigured from Ginny hexing them or anything.)

Really, can't we just get rid of this girl and add more Luna?

Once again, ignoring the fact that Luna LIKES Ginny.

thewall28304 : Most guys I know like yourself can't stand Ron and for a lot of good reasons. I don't understand why any female reader thinks Ron is a sweet person,when he spent most of the series acting like a jerk to Hermione.

Ron's major sin? HE'S NOT HARRY. OMG, how DARE he?

lovesharry : MY most hated HP character is clearly Ginny. I cannot abide her and it isn't because she ended up with Harry, even though she doesn't deserve to be with him. As a Harmonian Harry and Hermione belong together. Ginny, quite frankly, be d@mned! She should have died instead of her brother, George!!!

People don't "deserve" to be with certain people. Each person doesn't have a price tag on them that their partner has to pay. And even though Ginny ending up with Harry isn't the reason she's hated by this person, they don't say what IS the reason. And they don't even know that FRED died, not George. (Reading comprehension? What's that?)

I dislike Ron immensely and it is obvious to me that he doesn't deserve Hermione. What WAS Rowling thinking?!!!

Um, she was thinking like JK Rowling. You know, thinking like someone who's not YOU. Everyone in the world isn't identical, Miss Harmoanian. Even a book series read by more people than any other isn't going to enjoy universal popularity, no matter how close it seems to have come to that. This series obviously wasn't for you. Sorry that the author isn't your thought-twin. Oh, wait, I'm NOT sorry...

c&m: Oh my dear Gin-gin, why do you have to exist? You are a mere hindrance to H/Hr. Don't you know that? I mean Cho was wise enough to realize this and she stood back. But you! Are you not clever enough?! Or maybe you do realize that and you just wanted to be a villain against true happy ending??

Again, what books are these crackpots reading? Cho wasn't wise. She was stupid enough to think Hermione was a threat. She didn't step back--Harry dumped her ass. Ginny WAS clever, and we DID get a happy ending. Why don't any of them just admit that they only like books in which the character they over-identify with (Hermione) gets the guy they're having wet dreams about (Harry). Would that be so hard?

c&m: Harry doesn't love you! Never will! He loves Hermione! Are you Hermione? NO! You're Ginny bloody Weasley! So, leave them alone!

Okaaaaaay. Step awaaaaaay from the computer...

Whew! That felt wonderful. So, there. Who says I'm brutal?

Brutal? Nah. Batshit? Definitely.

PJlikesAUfanfic : mad molly, wonwon, & gingin are all poster children of why too much pureblood inbreeding is not a good thing.

Tch. Have they not been reading the gospel of terri_testing and marioros? Inbreeding is GOOD thing!

Then again, I shudder to think of the cross-pollination between Harmoanians and Slytherfen... That is a monster hybrid who SHOULD NOT EVER BE.

She's a fake, cruel, ugly fangirl who knows nothing about the real Harry, and did everything she possibly could to keep Hermione away from Harry.

You know, I might think the Ginny-haters have a seriously skewed interpretation of why she does certain things, like being friends with Luna or hexing Zacharias Smith, but at least they're talking about things that actually happened in the books.

But this? Things like this just remind me of how often they blantantly just make stuff up about her in their attempts to justify their hatred. I'd like to ask this person to point out a single time in canon -- just ONE TIME -- when Ginny even remotely tried to "keep Harry away from Hermione," and watch them squirm and stutter and come up with some babbling tl;dr excuse for why they can't. In fact, I seem to recall her being accepting of the fact that he was going to be going off on a mission for God knows how long, to God knows where, and would be in the company of no one but Ron and Hermione. Yeah, Ginny was totally trying to keep Harry away from Hermione, y'all.

Or maybe the Harmoanians are just confusing Ginny with Cho? I dunno. I wouldn't put it past them. They've proven time and time again that their memory is highly selective and their reading comprehension skills extremely shaky.

What a pathetic lot of whiny losers. One would think that they never learned that screaming and crying doesn't get them what they want. In fact, as adults, it makes them look truly pathetic.

So what if these fictional characters didn't end up in the fictional relationships that they wanted, does that really mean anything to anyone? Other than to complete losers, that is.

Kind of OT, but has anyone else thought that the Taylor Swift song (You Belong With Me) is like the Harmonian anthem? I heard this little ditty on the radio and just could not help but think that Harmonians must love it. Sure enough, I found a couple of fanvids on Youtube set to it. Here's one if anyone is curious.

That's for being such a loser of a friend to Hermione, Ms. "Oh-don't-start-acting-as-though-you-understand-Quidditch!"

I need to start making a list of all the wash, rinse, repeat excuses they make up for hating Ginny (and Ron) and how easily they can all be contradicted by simply understanding context (which it's clear these people ignore). This one above, however, seems to be a popular one for even the most casual of Ginny haters. Which irks me, because I saw this scene as an AWESOME moment for Ginny.

While I won't quote it verbatim, from what I recall, Harry's feeling like a jackass for almost killing Draco. Hermione--who's always hated that ruddy HBP and his superior-to-her-own potions abilities--is now setting in on Harry and scolding him like she's his mother. It's important to note that, while acting like his mother is a very Hermione trait, it's also very apparent that she's also very pleased that the HBP has finally failed Harry and she can now, "TOLD YOU SO!" his ass.

So, she's yelling. Ron has already told her to give it rest, though he knows she's not going to, so he mostly lets her because Harry's doing a decent job of fighting his own battle with her. Even if, as the reader, we're feeling Harry's POV of "I get it, Hermione...I screwed up. Stop already..." at the same time, it's in Hermione nature to keep on endlessly--obnoxiously--until she knows she's perfectly clear. So even after she's made her point and we're ready for her to give up, we let it slide that she's still going...

But she keeeeeeeeeeps going. She keeps going to the point where time in the day has passed and Ginny's now present. People don't seem to take into account that even then, Ginny--without 100% knowing her feelings for Harry--still cares a great deal for him, and she's probably tired of watching Hermione lay into him all day. Yeah, Ron, Ginny, and Co. let Hermione go at it for awhile because 1) there's no stopping her and 2) let's face it, Harry did deserve to be scolded on some level, but the issue is that Hermione doesn't know when to quit. That's what started to get to all of them...

So Ginny, just like her brother, tells Hermione to knock it off. Hermione, who may have just now started to realize she's been at it too long, tries to save face by getting an ally; so in turn, she tries to tick at one of Ginny's interests--the Quidditch team--and show how Harry's irresponsibility could have screwed over her and the team. It's a manipulation tactic to get Ginny thinking, "Oh hey, she's right! Screw you, Harry! Keep going, Hermione!"

But! Ginny sees right through it and tells Hermione so. We all know that Hermione doesn't actually care about Quidditch in the grand scheme of things; she doesn't care about the teams chances when it comes down to it. Sure, if they win...great, but she's not losing sleep over it. Ginny knows this too, and she calls her on it. Why is Hermione suddenly acting like she knows anything about Quidditch? Because she wants to get Ginny to side with her!

The first time I read it, I thought Hermione was being over the top in that scene, and I saw what she was doing to Ginny the second she did it. I loved Ginny for calling her on it, but people who refuse to see Hermione's more seedy flaws (like her manipulation tactics) only see Ginny being a mean girl here.

They will never understand that Ginny is not that popular girl at school that "stole" the cute kid they liked back in high school.

Hating characters because you don't like them? Cool, everybody has the right to have an opinion. But this? This is not character hate. This is personal.

Guess what, Ginny doesn't really care about your vitrol. She is fictional. And do stop using Hermione as an excuse to vent your own frustrations.

Equally unjustified Ron-bashing, focusing on his "being a jerk to Hermione" despite her giving as good as she got for most of the series? Check!

...Especially Ginny-hate.

Unfortunately I've been in fandom long enough now to understand the way the rabid fans operate (mostly). If a character gets in the way of their OTP or says something slightly negative to their favourite character then they get bashed.

What I don't get is how Ginny (and Ron, although, I seem to have been unusually lucky because I haven't encountered much Ron-hate) seems to be one of the most hated characters in HP fandom.

Yeah she ended up with the hero, instead of Hermione or Luna or whoever, but it seems like there's something else they're holding against her on top of that.

Is it because she's Ron's sister or because she's popular, pretty and sporty? Is it because she's temperamental and sometimes does some not-so-nice things? Or does the Ginny-hate simply seem so vitriolic because HP is such a huge fandom?

(I'd like to add that these fen are utterly bonkers, especially cakeandmilk. Shouting at a fictional character is never a good sign.)

I do so love watching them talk in circles in an attempt to justify the claims that their hatred of Ginny is NOT SOLELY ship-related only to go on and say something that totally proves that it is.

They're reliable, I'll give 'em that.
