Whilst we're talking about the new HP show and the authors evident involvement, it's important to remember that the marketing team and likely others will know that Wolfstar and Drarry are the most popular aspects of this fandom.

They'll probably know about All the Young Dudes [David Thewlis and Andrew Garfield have been asked about it in random interviews, so any marketing team capable of basic research will know about it]. They will know that there is an entire community surrounding the Marauders (because there has been for like 20 years, it's not new)

And this information can be used in marketing. The focus has been so much on the author won't make them Canon (true), people are missing that that's not the only way to manipulate an audience into watching.

And it really wouldn't take much.

Just the idea of casting Andrew Garfield, or Ben Barnes posting a filter, or Aaron Taylor Johnson introducing the pet shop boys cover of All The Young Dudes has people who previously had "fuck jkr" in their bio foaming at the mouth for the show. It's already working without them having to do anything

They might queer bait, they might not. But the thing with queer baiting is

you can choose not to bite.

bartylus being cool and judgy in public but jokingly wrestling and being silly when alone in their dorm, with barty head locking regulus and throwing him around and regulus bouncing on him like a feline because he’s an idiot

I don’t know about anyone else, but I think a lot of cis straight women who write mlm typically write mlm because it’s nice to write a love story with out the inherent power inbalance that all straight relationships have.

YES !!! 100% yes, this is a point i make in this video !!!

i mean,,, i'm coming at it from a different perspective as someone who read only mlm prior to coming out as trans, but it's the same concept - wanting to disconnect from your own identity and fall head over heels into something else.

it's nice to read stories where your inferiority isn't part of it, where you aren't subjected to patriarchial values or situations, and you can just,,, enjoy the story, you know? and i think mlm ships, more so than wlw ships, provide that escapism more.

i think i also talk a bit in that video about mainstream media and the effects that has, especially in a fandom space. marauders for example, the core four are men and the people they are connected to *canonically* are mostly men - we know more about them and how they navigate the world, and that makes for more interesting stories. (see here: "but regulus has barely any cano-" he does but also,,, he's the brother of a core character, hence why he's developed a lot)

we can also get messy with the men, you know? we see it a lot in mainstream media *and* fandom where a "messy" woman (a human being with flaws and mistakes) is criticised for being misogynistic etc etc, and we lose complexity through that (i'm looking at you, platonic snily deniers /hj but fr, that is the most central part of her character imo)

but marlene and dorcas for example? we only know about two facts, including how they died, and we don't even know if they were in the same year as the marauders, so it's more of a gradual development than taking developed male characters - mainstream media sucks man :/ god forbid we get developed women.

so yes !!! i stronglyyy dislike the fetishisation argument because whilst there is 100% the chance that that is why people write and engage in those stories, 99.9% of the time it isn't and people either (1) like that escapism that comes from reading without your inferiority as a woman coming into play (2) like reading more complex stories that we typically get with men, especially since we allow them to get more "messy" and (3) they just,,, like the characters.

there's a big gap between the consumption of mlm media and the consumption of wlw, but i don't think demonising mlm and reducing it to just sexual fantasies and fetish desires is progressive at all,,, less so even.

to say that politics doesn’t belong in fandom spaces means you don’t consider the creators you follow or the accounts you interact with real people, I’m sorry
