Strange consistency

[fpb]

A couple of years ago I deleted and eventually banned someone for horrid and strangely unselfconscious Jew-bashing. ("Well, of course it's true that Jews danced in the streets when the Twin Towers went down, and I can't imagine why you should say that I am prejudiced against Jews! I'm a very put-upon person!")

Since then this same person has resurfaced as a rabid Snapefan/Slytherfan, convinced that Hogwarts is a horrible brainwashing place, that Snape was a true hero, and that everyone from Albus Dumbledore to Neville Longbottom is varying degrees of evil and/or brainwashed. Oh, and that there was nothing discernibly wrong about blood prejudice and the Voldemort movement.

"By their fruit ye shall know them."

Well, I guess if you have that kind of prejudice, it is better that is directed toward the fictional world of Harry Potter than towards the real world. It's odd that this person doesn't get that the Pureblood prejudice is intended to represent the prejudice against the Jewish, among other kinds as well.

I'm not sure it's exactly a question of them exchanging one prejudice for another...

I don't think it is. I have no evidence that this person has changed views about Jews in the last two years. I do know, however, that she took this paranoid, issue-ridden nonsense: http://www.journalfen.net/community/fandom_wank/1220548.html - as a real revelation. It is a matter of adding persecution complex to persecution complex.

PS: I wonder what happened to the person who used to trawl my LJ for passages s/he could misrepresent or lie about in f_w. Perhaps, as I kept advising him/her, s/he has finally got a life. Or perhaps the f_w mods have finally seen through him/her.
