A lot of hatred for white males is just intrasexual competition, because we are the most desirable in the dating market.

Much could be said about the Malfoid trend: the mass yearning, explosion of wholesomeness, colonization of AO3 by a new crop of fanfic writers or just how good a lot of art is. But it has become a battleground of the culture war: and the good is winning.

Malfoid wave or the latest X trend and why it matters

It all began on September 22nd. It was an otherwise unremarkable Tuesday, with twitter full of political shitposting, war in the Middle East, noise about the upcoming midterms and ICE deportation

Let me see if I understand this correctly. In episode one of Lanterns they showed us Hal Jordan dead and frozen. Then, for the next 6 weeks the internet told us: Hal's not really dead. Maybe it's the Halogram. Maybe he staged his own death. Maybe its a Manhunter version of Hal. And finally, last night: A MERE HUMAN WOMAN SHOT HIM IN THE HEAD BECAUSE MADE-UP REASONS? This literally proves what I've been saying for years. EVERYTHING out of Hollywood is a manifestation of FEMALE hatred against men and the patriarchy. Once you accept that, you'll never waste your time on garbage like this again. Just like I didn't this time.

Uhm... Has anyone checked in on Hollywood? Are they okay over there? Do they know murder is bad? Can they define the word "hero"? Hell, can they define "good?"

People talk about a sex drought but what we really have is a romantic wasteland where the foids have all been taught to hate the boys and the boys are trapped in a cycle of cold-blooded minmaxxing that makes them feel like reptilian sociopathic roboclowns when they actually succeed in obtaining sexual access to the foid herd. Like hyperpalatable junk food that tastes incredible but leaves you fundamentally unsatisfied due to the absence of anything recognisable as nutrition, the "sexual marketplace" is denuded of the actual romance that men yearn for. Malfoid resonates so strongly because she represents the possibility of romance within the wasteland. She hates Potter, she can't stop thinking about him, she hounds him relentlessly. Potter is clueless, he thinks she really does hate him, not realizing she's subjecting him to the mother of all shit tests as she works through a turbulent, contradictory ball of emotional snakes born of impossibly high aristocratic standards, indoctrination to hate Potter and everything he represents, and a hidden fascination that she can't admit to herself yet cannot shake. Malfoid, the Bad Girl, is every girl, because the girls have been miseducated to be bad at being girls - competitive and antagonistic, driving away that which they most desire by attacking, mocking, humiliating, and undermining it, rendering themselves and everyone around them pointlessly miserable due to their misplaced loyalty to the dead hand of a death cult whose every promise is a lie born of hatred for them and for the people they truly love. Twisted and painful as this tsundere romance is, it is the only kind of romance that is possible, even in principle, within the wasteland. This gives Malfoid a powerful erotic charge that has nothing to do with "sex"; the story is entirely PG-13, but hit the pornographically jaded chuds between the eyes like a 2x4. Writers looking to rebuild literary culture should ponder this. Romance is the most conspicuously missing element of life in the 21st century.
I think the Malfoid trend is insanely fascinating because it's a commentary about men today. Malfoid was brought up from birth to hate everything about Harry, but despite everything in her corner of society pushing her to despise him and see Harry as a foe, she can't help but love him because he represents something her side of the wizarding world could never show her; honest love and a relationship not based on how useful someone is - which was one of the core themes of the books anyway. For men, Malfoid represents pure love - something modern men yearn for - because she had to overcome her own prejudices to let herself love him, and that's a love a man can trust. She fought for him while he fought the world that tried to enslave her emotionally and even physically. It's an incredible love story based on collective fan fiction by MEN that went viral because men are just thirsty for honest, trustworthy love. It's actually kind of heartbreaking when you think about it.

Now that I've dabbled in this trend a bit, and played around with what's possible, I'm going to put on my *other* Serious Professional Author Hat, and explain why you like her so much. Draecena, or Draconia, or Drakenia, Malfoy — the "Mal-foid" — is NOT a gender-swapped version of Draco Malfoy. That's why her eyes are green and not grey. She's a completely different character. She fits into the socket that Draco fills in the story, but for an author, characters are defined by their wants. Because their wants determine their choices, and their actions, and these determine the ultimate outcome of the story. Draecina is a different person from Draco, because she wants different things. Draco, as written, is a simple creature, created for a simple utilitarian role in the story. He wants power and attention. He wants to advance his family's political agenda. He wants to defeat Potter. Rowling may have put a little spin on the ball in the later books, but he never strays too far from this. Draecina is completely different. She not only wants more things, she wants conflicting things, and she is torn between them. She is split between duty, love, and pride. She wants to advance her family's cause and political agenda, to help them, to earn their love and make them proud. And for this, like Draco, she must defeat Harry Potter and everything he represents. But she is also a teenage girl. And she wants to kiss the most popular boy in the school. The hero, the sports star, the celebrity. No, she takes that back, she doesn't just want to kiss him. She wants him to kiss her. And more fundamentally, she wants him to yearn for her, as she yearns for him. Look at me, Harry Potter, her soul cries. See me. Do you think I'm beautiful? Please think I'm beautiful. Please want me. But she cannot say a word of this. Because she also has pride. She cannot, she will not face the humiliation of anyone else knowing how she worships her mortal enemy. No one must ever see the stolen scarf she presses to her face, in the darkness of her bedroom. But if she is to say nothing, how will he ever know? How will he ever look at her? This is the rack she is stretched upon, torturing herself inside her head late at night, tossing and turning when she should sleep. Conflicting wants make the best, deepest, most living characters, and drive the best stories. Through the alternate set of books (that exist now only as a shared idea in scattered heads) these drive her actions towards Potter himself... not simply opposition and aggression, but a dance of approach and avoidance, of fights and arguments and timid, plausibly deniable bids for something more. Until, as in the originals, the two are driven to crisis point, a violent confrontation, each desperate not to hurt the other, but also driven to violence by the fear that this other holds no goal but lethal hate. And Harry, seeking only to defend himself, strikes her down with a magic that does not merely disable but *cuts* with lethal force, tearing into her body, almost killing her, and leaving her with a terrible scar across the smooth, soft, perfect white skin that his eyes used to devour the merest glimpse of. This is the worst point, the pit, the long dark night of the soul that every author must eventually walk a character into. Draecina curses herself for a fool. None of it meant anything. He never cared for her. He hates her with every fiber of his being, and why would he feel otherwise? But try as she might, she cannot actually blame him. He overheard her plotting his death. They fought. Is it any wonder that he struck at her with whatever weapon he had to hand? She cannot stop loving him, even though she knows now that it is utterly hopeless. In her hospital bed, left unable by her injuries even to toss and turn, she stares at the ceiling and weeps in despair. Harry feels... sick. He fought for the right cause, he knows that. But this doesn't feel like goodness, and it doesn't feel like winning. It feels wrong, like he has destroyed something beautiful. He has left her with terrible scars, and terrible memories, that she will carry for the rest of her life. More than anything he wants to go to her, to kneel beside her hospital bed and beg her forgiveness. But that is foolish. She hates him. He is the last person she would ever want to see, and she would never, ever forgive him. It's hopeless. This is the greatest task of the author, to create this terrible moment, and then, somehow, perform some magic to walk these characters to the ending the story demands, where the day, the hero, and the world are all saved by the very thing that started the story to begin with... the love of a woman who would give her life to save his. Except this time, that love is not an inheritance, for Harry is no longer a child. He is a man now, facing a dark and terrible enemy, and that love is not simply given, nor can it even be earned. It must be inspired. And the two lovers must defeat their enemy together... not through a cheap magic trick, nor through a vague and sappy appeal to ill-explained abstraction like "the power of love", but for the very real and concrete reason that heroes have friends and allies, families and lovers, while tyrants have only reluctant and fearful slaves. And from that first inflection point, the pit of despair, it is difficult to see the second, the moment of triumph. In all the best stories, the ones that really matter, there is a moment so dark that sometimes we don't want to go on, because how could the ending ever be happy? But we must go on, because that is the third moment the story demands, the moment we must reach. And it is not Harry, but Draecina, who must give it to us, that happy ending. Look at me, Harry Potter, she must say. Look at my scars. I will not hide them from you, not anymore, though they make you flinch with guilt and turn away. Look at me. I forgive you, my love, not merely because I love you, but I because I understand in my very soul the impossible trap you were caught in, the conflicting forces that tore you apart inside. But you must look at me, all of me, and see me as I am, flawed and scarred and imperfect, for I must know if I am still beautiful in your eyes, if you can accept my love and forgiveness as I have accepted yours. We must bury the anger and bitterness that passed between, and pass on only good to the next generation. Because I have just learned that the next generation is coming very soon now, and I hope we are ready. It takes a wise character to say this, so she must grow throughout the story from a scared and lonely little girl to a woman who can face the future, even though she is afraid. This is why you love this character. Because she makes a beloved story into something that is even more about the things that matter, the universal experience of what it feels like to be a human. And it's why I'm not ashamed, nor embarrassed, to "fix" a billion-dollar success story. Because humans are a pack animal. We hunt together, and build on each other's work. Everything we have achieved as a species, from great stories to great civilizations to rockets to the stars, was built on foundations laid down by others, and will be the foundation for others to build on. Frodo carries the ring across Middle-Earth, through Mordor, and halfway up the mountain. And then it's your turn to carry him the rest of the way.
"And you never wondered why Fred made that bet with you in the first place, did you, Potter?" She rolled her eyes at him, just a bit. They were smug and green and somehow catlike. "He had to know you'd be brave enough to do it. Have you ever known Fred to make a bad bet? To voluntarily lose money?" She had a point there. She also had her hands on the wall on both sides of his head, like she wanted to pin him there, probably so she could get out all the choice insults she saved over summer break. Except she probably hadn't thought through the part about teenagers and growth spurts, because, well, he towered over her now, and she was forced to reach almost directly upward. "Unleeeesssss, of course, someone bet him TWO galleons that he couldn't trick the famous Harry Potter into setting himself up for a humiliating rejection." "Uhhh... wait. You're trying to tell me you planned that whole, uh, disaster?" "Did I say anything of the sort? I don't think I did. I just said 'someone'. "The point is, I'm taking pity on you, Potter. Heaven knows you need it. These people aren't your friends, not really. They're low-class, and they'll sell you out the moment they can earn a galleon doing it. You should try to associate with a better class of people." Harry took hold of one slender, elegant white wrist, and gently but firmly pried her hand off the wall, stepping to one side. Her cheeks flushed, probably from anger that he had dared to touch her aristocratic skin, but he wasn't going to let her push him around. Not anymore. He quickly dropped his hand before she could express her disgust by wrenching hers away. "Oh, so if 'someone' had a plan to humiliate me, why'd you say 'yes', then, Malfoid? Did you have a different idea?" He should just walk away, but he had to admit he was... curious. Ever since they'd been forced to fight the Bandersnatch together, and especially since that incident in the Gryffindor dormitory with the Truthstone, she'd been acting... strangely. "Well, I wouldn't have wanted your humiliation to end too quickly, would I? It would have just been one single moment, with no one there to witness it, and you wouldn't have learned a thing," she said with a haughty sniff. "I may not think much of you, or your entire ridiculous House, but Hoggwarts is a quality school, and no one else seems to be willing to step up and teach you not to embarrass us all." She hadn't tried to trap him against the wall again, but she was still standing far too close. Ever since they'd returned from summer break, she always seemed to be hovering somewhere near him, always ready with a sneering word. "Well, Miss Malfoy, you needn't worry about suffering my obnoxious presence again this year, I won't ask you again." "Oh! Well, you.... you... Ahh... good! Good! It's not like I wanted to! And you wouldn't have the guts to ask me again, anyway! I bet you wouldn't!" "Oh! Well if you're so dead certain, why don't you just go make another bet with Fred and get your money back?" She recoiled as if he had slapped her. "Yeah, well, maybe I will!" "Good! Go then!" But she was already storming off down the corridor, looking a lot less smug than she had a few minutes ago. That felt... satisfying. But somehow, also not. Perhaps he wasn't as used to her verbal barbs and constant hostility, from being on vacation these three months. He didn't know what else to think. For some reason, his fingers still tingled where he'd held her wrist. Hmmmm... come to think of it, he should try to find out if she actually made that bet again. Because if she did, he could actually ask her again, and make her lose. Which would be no more than she deserved. Even if she was rich enough for it not to matter, it was some small measure of revenge for everything she'd put him through. Yeah, that was it. Revenge, he thought, rubbing at his hand a bit. Besides, it wasn't like she would say yes or anything.

My favorite living author joining my favorite social media trend. My reaction can be expressed as a sky full of stars, every star being the Salieri GIF.
After a day as terrible as the one he’d just had, Harry was more than ready to shamble back to the Gryffindor dormitory, throw himself onto his narrow bed without so much as pulling back the covers, much less undressing. But as he climbed, the noises coming down the stairs from the boys’ section told him this probably wasn’t going to happen. It sounded like someone ransacking one of the rooms. There were definite rummaging noises, punctuated occasionally by the sound of a thrown object bouncing off a wall or some furniture, and a muted sputtering, as if someone were trying to swear in frustration, but couldn’t, not really, because she didn’t actually know all that many bad words. Wait. She? Harry bounded up the last few stairs, and the hall, and through the door. Then stopped dead in his tracks. Even though he had already heard what was happening, what he saw was the last thing, the very last thing, the absolutely last thing, that he ever expected to find. It was Malfoy. She stood over Harry’s bed, surrounded by a scattering of Harry’s possession all over the floor, spilled from an overturned chest, all the drawers she has removed from his dresser. No one else seemed to be around. Harry was too surprised even to be properly angry. He could only sputter out the first thing that popped into his mind. “Malfoid? What are you doing here?” She whirled to face him, her face twisted in a furious expression. There were dust bunnies clinging to her skirt, and her hair was an absolute mess. “Stop calling me that! My name is Draecina! Dray-see-na! Draecina Esmerelda Aribeth Malfoy! The Third!” Harry rallied his thoughts a bit. “I’m not going to say all that. And you haven’t answered my question. What are you doing here? How did you even get into the Gryffindor dormitory at all?” “Fairy lights,” she snarled at him, “The password is ‘fairy lights’. Did you really think I couldn’t get that information out of one of you weak-minded idiots any time I wanted? “Except the last place, the very last place, that I would be caught dead is your bedr— your dorm room! If I didn’t need to find it!” “Find what?” “Don’t play innocent with me, Potter! You know what I’m looking for! A doll! Made out of beeswax infused with moonleaf sap and three drops of my blood, which you probably collected last year when we fought the Bandersnatch. Then you dressed it in a scrap of my clothing that you stole from somewhere, and bound the neck, wrists, and ankles with three strands of your hair!” Harry was far too surprised to say anything. He’d never seen or even heard of any doll like that, of course. But the description seemed oddly… specific. “Does that sound familiar, Potter? I found the spell you used! It took me a year of searching through half the library, but I found it! Now tell me where the blasted doll is so I can take this curse off!” She kicked a pile of what turned out to be Harry’s spare robes, and then looked disappointed that they didn’t fly very far. “Malfoid —” “Draecina!” “— I have no idea what you’re talking about. What curse? Did someone curse you?” “Of course they — of course you did! Just look at me!” Harry was looking at her. Same pale blonde hair, so blonde it was more snow than gold. This was the first time Harry had ever seen so much as a strand of it out of place. Same dainty, aristocratic features, upturned nose and pointy chin. Come to think of it, those green eyes, smoldering with fury, had slight dark shadows under them for once. And her wrists seemed the same, too. For some reason, Harry’s gaze always seemed to linger on her wrists, on how very pale and delicate they looked, on how they always seemed to pose at some elegant angle. “I… ah… can’t stop looking at you.” There was a long, uncomfortable pause. “I mean, because you’re standing in the middle of my room throwing all my stuff on the floor. If there’s some sort of curse on you, I don’t see any effect. What’s it supposed to do?” “Hah! As if you didn’t know! There’s no one here but the two of us, so there’s no point in pretending you don’t know!” “Malf — ah, Draecina, I really have no idea what you’re talking about. How do you know you’re under a curse, and what is it that’s happening?” Her expression shifted from rage to… well, if it was anyone but Malfoy, Harry would have called it a pout. “Oh, I see. You just want me to say it out loud, so you can humiliate me more. Well, I won’t. And I won’t give you the satisfaction of hearing me beg. So gloat if you have to, mudblood. Get it over with. Have your fun. Then. Take. It. Off.” “Look, I really don’t have any idea what you’re talking about. I haven’t cursed you.” “Last year in potions class, you turned me purple!” “Well, yes, that. But it wore off in a few hours. And you deserved it for hiding that Strong Toad in my locker. I mean I didn’t do it this time. If someone’s really cursed you, then couldn’t it be… well, you haven’t exactly been nice to a lot people, have you? It could have been anybody.” “No, couldn’t! It has to be you, because you’re the one that I — arrrrrrghhh!” She trailed off in a snarl of pure frustration, and then slowly and deliberately drew her wand out of her jacket and pointed it at Harry, squinting down the length of hazelwood. “Harry Potter, you take this curse off me right now, or I’ll… I’ll… well, I’ll think of something equally awful to do to you!” Harry didn’t doubt it. And only now it occurred to him that, like every wand carried by every student, it wasn’t just a tool, or a device for playing harmless pranks. Wands could be weapons, and some spells you could do with one were no laughing matter. He thought about going for his own wand, trying a simple disabling spell to buy some time to talk sense into her. It wouldn’t be impossible. He usually beat her in Wizard Dueling practice. On the other hand, her wand was already pointed right at him, which was more than a little bit of an advantage. Maybe he should just skip right to the talking-sense part. Not that talking sense into Draecina Malfoy was ever the easy option. “Look, Drae, I —” Why did he call her that? Only her friends called her that. “I really didn’t do anything to you this time. If it’s something really bad, can’t you just go to one of the instructors for help?” “Oh, you’d just love that, wouldn’t you? Me humiliating myself like that. Well, fine. If you’re sooooooo innocent, and you just have nooooo idea what I’m talking about, then prove it!” “What?” “Prove it!” “How I supposed to prove —” Malfoy tore at the neck of her blouse with her other hand, and a single button popped off, bouncing away somewhere into the mess, as she came up with a small pendant, hung around her neck on a black leather cord. Her hair mussed every which way again as she yanked it over her neck and head, and thrust it at him. “There! See? I came prepared! Take it. Go on, take it!” “What… is that?” He could see it clearly enough, a little white stone on a gold bezel, shaped a bit like an egg, and carved with… well, carved with something. Not for the first time, Harry wished he had paid more attention in Runes class. “It’s a Truthstone, idiot. Don’t you know anything? Why should any decent wizarding school waste its valuable time trying to educate useless mudbloods like you if you’re not going to come out any smarter than dirt? “You hold it, stupid. Now put your grubby fingers on it and hold it up where I can see, and tell me the filthy lie you just told me. Say it again. I dare you. Say it again so I can put a hex on you that the entire faculty won’t be able to remove for a week. Er… as soon as I pick one out, I mean.” Bemused, Harry reached out, very slowly, and took the stone from her. It seemed unusually cool in his fingers. Belatedly, it occurred to him that he could have just grabbed her wand and disarmed her instead, or at least tried to. But however this… Truthstone… worked, if it could prove he wasn’t lying, then perhaps he could find out what on earth was going on. He held it up in front of his face, between thumb and forefinger. Stared past it into her green eyes that still glittered with suppressed rage. “Okay, fine, look. I didn’t know you were under a curse, I have no idea what curse you might be under, I didn’t put it on you or ask anyone else to put it on you, and I have no idea who did. Okay?” The stone… did nothing. Harry really had no idea what it was supposed to do, whether it was supposed to do something if he told a lie, or to force him to tell the truth, or what. But it just stayed slightly cool in his hand, with no light, no noise, no vibration. As if it were just a rock. Draecina’s face went blank with shock. “But… but… I thought that…” The pointing wand wavered and drooped, slowly, until it hung at her side. “But, if you didn’t… If I’m not cursed… Then I actually…” She didn’t seem to be able to finish a sentence, much less explain herself. “No. No, no, no. It’s not possible. It’s not!” She leaped forward and snatched the stone out of his hand, hunching over it, peering at it intently, shaking it as if it were a malfunctioning watch. “No, no, no, no, you must have tricked it somehow, you must…” Then she straightened up, staring at him, blinking rapidly. Her eyes seemed to be watering for some reason. “Damn you, Potter! I hate you! I hate you so much!” she screamed, hurling the Truthstone past his head with a full arm motion, where it bounced off the wall with a loud clack. And then she stormed out of the room before Harry could even open his mouth, much less think of anything to say, leaving him alone with the mess she had made. Wondering what that was all about. Wondering if she had meant to miss. As he stooped to try to sort out the mess, or at least begin to figure out even how to sort it out, the first thing his hand landed on was the Truthstone, lying under it tangled leather cord. It didn’t seem any worse off for having been thrown against the wall. It wasn’t chipped or cracked or broken. Except now, for some reason, it was jet black.

It's not about the money. Money has an effect, yes, but it's a part of something bigger. Women are genetically programmed to mate up. Not down. And not even across. Up. If she doesn't regard a man as superior to her, she generally doesn't want to have his babies. What this means is that there is an extremely simple control dial on fertility. More male power and status = more babies. More female power and status = less babies. Yes, it really is that simple. Why? Because every species has a mating ritual, and can only breed if they can carry it out. That's why you can breed rats and chickens in cages, but not pandas. Different mating ritual. And a critical element of the human mating ritual is "male impresses female". Not charms. Not bribes. Definitely not respects. Impresses. So, if you take power, wealth, and status away from men, and give it to women, you are just plain reaching for the controls and turning down the fertility dial. If you let men keep power, wealth and status — you don't have to give it to them because they're the ones who create it — fertility goes up. The fertility crisis is really the equality crisis. This idea might horrify you. You might have been taught all your life that everyone is equal, or must be, and anything else is unfair. Well, have you looked around you at universe? Unfairness is baked into the life cycle of every living organism, not mention the food chain. Evolutionary processes don't care about fairness. They care what works. Perhaps someday, we will be able to code DNA as easily as we code C++, and can decide what we want our instincts to be. But until that day, we are faced with a choice. 1. Stop using the political, legal, and mass media processes to force female equality, if not outright female supremacy, on the first world. Or 2. Die out and be replaced by third world retards, who will stay on this planet fighting wars with increasingly rusty AK47s and then spears, until the next asteroid comes along.
If a productive middle class family wants to have a child, they need to have good insurance and budget out like $8,000. If welfare dregs want to have a child, they just show up to the hospital and have it paid for by the productive middle class family. Societies die this way.

This is how you know a zeitgeist shift is coming: the demons of the past era reveal themselves in such a way there is no denying them anymore. First we had feminists defending privileged wife Lindsay Clancy for killing her kids due to "mental health", now they are trying to turn an ivy league slut who regrets doing one too many gangbangs into a victim of rape These seem like stupid hills to die on, but they rush to make them heroes of their movement because they can't help themselves. They have been coddled for so long they are subconsciously longing to be put in their place. Like Raskolnikov, their souls long to be convicted for the crimes their ideology has committed And they will be. Feminism has run its course. Its fruits are rotten. The most ideologically committed will die reputationally in the hopeless battle to preserve it, and the remaining women will turn and run - and pretend they never wanted it
