She's so underfed and underdeveloped that, to Harry, she looks like she's twelve. That's where those comments are coming from. It also makes Harry's attraction to her all the more bizarre and unsettling.

What precisely is humorous about that? "Haha, you guys are pedophiles." That's funny? I hardly think so. I'm sure that I can't find the humor in your post if, in fact, there is any to be found and I doubt any of the other people you anonymously included in that statement would either.

Nowhere in that post did I state that Harry's attraction to what he thought looked like a twelve year old was anything but disturbing (and, obviously, my separate reply to Vash was in jest). I certainly didn't try to say that it was "all-right really" (sic). The author only had to wait another two (short) chapters until Harriet would have, for all intents and purposes, been a physical and mental adult but opted to make Harry totally creepy instead.

The other things I mentioned were fact, both legally and in psychological (one of the few classes I was good at) terms but then, you apparently misunderstood a lot of points in my post. Chief among these points was that there is a vast difference between attraction to a child, which is fucked up (to use layman's terms) and attraction to people who display physical attributes comparable to that of an adult but are not necessarily considered adults yes, for whatever reason. There's nothing to rationalize there, that's fact. That's why there are different terms for such things (the misuse of such terms being what prompted me to post what I did in the first place because, yes, I am that uptight) and different laws, legal consequences, et cetera. Since you completely failed to comprehend my post, thus proving you can't even read properly, you can keep your amateur psychoanalysis to yourself.

If you think I'm advocating, excusing or rationalizing illegal, sickening and highly immoral behavior, you can immediately fuck off and take your libelous crap with you, because I don't appreciate it. I think my comment about taking a baseball bat to the knees of anyone who messes with an underage person should have spelled out my opinion on this quite clearly.

I have a childhood friend who was molested and it messed her up in ways I wouldn't wish on anyone. I have zero doubt that knowing her has contributed greatly to my rabid loathing of rapists and molesters of any sort.

In order to rationalize due to guilt, one has to be guilty of something. You pretty much came out and claimed that I (and others here) are basically closet pedos. That's a pretty big accusation to even imply and you did it without even properly reading what I posted. Speaking for myself, I take great offense to that, you slimy little shit stain, and would be very pleased if you would graciously remove yourself from the gene pool.

Have a nice day.

(And to everyone else, I apologize but I couldn't let that insult slide. Were this another day and age, we'd be naming seconds and choosing our pistols right now.)

 

Perhaps if you had read more closely, you would have learned that the author described Harriet as physically looking like a twelve year-old. You know, because of malnourishment and whatnot.

 

I was just confirming whether the debate was over Harriet being chronologically 12, or developmentally 12.

 

Yeah, it's developmentally. I haven't read the whole thing, but if the author takes after SilverAegis, I think we can expect nutrition potions to restore Harriet to her health.

 

I'm still following this because the author said that he's completed the story, but is editing around. It's not that bad, and is pretty hilarious.

I could NOT stop laughing. Librarian nailed me for it.

This very clearly deserves a 4/5 for sheer guts on the part of the author. At first I was concerned about the pedophilia involved with a 14 year-old having sex. The author seemingly allayed my fears, but went the opposite direction.

 

2/5

"“First time?” she said, snorting. “You think I’m a virgin?”"

When I read that,alarm bells started blaring..like "FUCK~ Rapist!Vernon". I persevered and when I read about Percy I started doubting my crack pipe.

Something is wrong with this author if he/she can even THINK about a FemHarry/Percy pairing.Fuck that.

I find my last vestiges of hope fleeting when the author himself comments that the latest chapter sucks & the one after that will suck even more.

The weird part is that I'll probably read the rest of this anyway.

Hmmmm

 

Sad as it is I actually got a couple of laughs out of it, watching you guys react is humorous as hell if nothing else. ^.^

As to the Harriet/Percy Match....
{Shrugs}
At least it wasn't Draco or Goyle... or Ron.....

As for my part in all of this, I'd appologize for posting it as I (Rather obviously) didn't realize the author would fuck it up so badly, but as I said above it's fun watching y'all bicker about it, so I won't.

 

Well it got finished finally...

It started out with a lot of promise but that last 2-3 chapters were cliche ridden and just bad in general. The start would have had a 4/5 but overall this was a 2/5 for me.
