Partially Kissed Villain Reflaming:
May. 19th, 2020 11:35 pmOk, I read deeper into the PKH madness. It had the great thing of making me more interested in Harry Potter. And now, thanks to Loinheart, my favorite character is the wise, badass, flawed... Albus Dumbledore.
After dealing with that mustache-twirling clown of PKH, I saw the awesome version of the original HP, where he acts as the only sane man in a very high position.
Really, the way Dumbledore is portrayed in both cases reflects the stories themselves. Original Harry Potter is not perfect but is still very good and inspiring. Partially Kissed Hero is a travesty that promotes mustache-twirling villainy.
I was way too lenient in my first review, but now I am fucking pissed. The Caucasian Creams, the sexism, the condoning of Muslim genocide, the classism, the slavery apologism and the way capitalism and the rich are also bashed... that's extreme nationalism and socialism. National Socialism. Couple that with how he supposedly acts like he is against Nazis...
Yeah, the story is shit because it's full of National Socialism. At least Harrymort hasn't used gas chambers... but I won't put it above him.
Oh, and I will put in this:
As we have watched the end of one major corporation after another, banks failing and frauds being exposed on every level of government, or any other concern, war being threatened (or declared) in every part of the globe, and every type of crisis growing beyond all previous proportions, for purposes of this story, I choose to interpret that, and the failing of many world currencies (including powerful indications that the dollar may be collapsing for good) as the coming end of the muggle world.
Like Rome, we are falling. And like Rome, it is under the weight of our own corruption.
And once more like Rome, when it goes so much of what we consider ordinary will stop working that many may well interpret it as the end of the world. And indeed, it will be the end of one style of living.
But you add any kind of stress (like the discovery of fairies) to an already torn fabric (or fabric of society, in this case) and it rips faster.
If we replace Muggle and we with humanity and fairies with demons, this could easily be a speech of the Dark One, who in my stories is the Antichrist and Big Bad. Whose plan is exactly this.
This is an Author's Note.
Congratulations, Lionheart, now you sound like the incarnation of evil in my crossover verse. Well done.
