Draco was never mean. He was just manipulated by his parents and that assface Voldemort. Of course I'm not saying that it justifies his bullying and bad behavior, but I think he is just a misunderstood person and he just needed someone to love him and accept him for who he really was, which is not a bad person but a very handsome man who can be as ass sometimes but he is actually scared and helpless. God I'm still mad at why J.K. Rowling didn't put Hermoine and Draco together! GRRRRR!!!! >.< Obliviate memory!

Youtube comment.

When you look for them you find these situations all over the place, like Loki. He's an evil mother fucker but he's loved cuz he's 'misunderstood'. Apparently being the second favourite child excuses genocide and the attempted enslavement of the entire human race.

Should be easy to ruin their fantasy in the next book.

The whole Snape, Harry's father and Harry's mother thing also screams "don't be a nice guy, be a douche, if you want the girl that is".

I'll quote myself again:

The female rationalization of Dark Triad men is as follows (if Draco is one doesn't matter since he is portrayed and behaves like one):

Deep Down He Loves Me™

This comes straight from:

that Draco was not concealing a heart of gold under all that sneering at prejudice.

Related note: An old girlfriend of mine and I were talking about the Song of Ice and Fire series once, and Joffrey makes her sploosh hard apparently. All about the power and dark triad.

This is exactly the reason why the Draco in Leather Pants and Ron the Death Eater tropes even exist.

Being confident is more important than not being an asshole. If you have to be an asshole to be confident then it's a net gain.

Also, being confident and a decent person means absolutely nothing if you are beaten by someone who is a confident douchebag.

Can confirm. I recall my ex-wife making a comment about the child actor who played Malfoy was growing up and filling in nicely.

Honestly, Draco is fucking weak. He's a weak character, in the narrative, not in the sense of being particularly poorly developed, though that's arguable. I'm slightly surprised girls would gush over somebody like that, but I guess being "bad" is more important than having a pair?

They like the rich, apathetic douchebag, how shocking.

She is really getting desperate for attention.

Its because he is attractive.

Stop looking too much into it.

Not everything is 'dark triad'

Appearance matters as much for guys as it does for girls whether this place accepts it or not.

"Just another nail in the "girls really want nice guys!" myth.

Nah. That myth will never die. This myth has existed since man stood up from the tall grass and sculpted the Woman of Willendorf.

The spiritual worship of woman is an inescapable piece in the mythos of the human condition. Just look at this subreddit. You've made a clan centered around the virtues women REALLY desire, not the virtues society says women SHOULD desire. And adhering to the truths preached here has become a right of passage to us.

The desire for challenge and danger is inherent in all men. The mystery and the threat of pregnancy in women are dangerous to man, making woman an inescapable challenge.

The casting of Tom Felton as Draco had a BIG impact.

Rowling envisioned him as a little weasel, but Felton grew into a hottie in only four years during the firs two movies.

Draco was not concealing a heart of gold under all that sneering at prejudice

Draco was a bitch, Snape was an ultimate bitch (taking care of his dead oneitis' child), Weasley was a bitch - Potter was merely OK. Honestly trying to think of one guy who's inspirational in that series and I can't. Dumbledore's a white knight. Sirius is probably the closest thing to cool. This is what happens when women write men.

The most redpill relationship in Harry Potter is Lily and James.

Let's forget about calling Snape a beta orbiter or omega male for a second, and saying Lily choose James over Snape etc, and just consider for a second that Lily found James appealing at all.

He's supposed to be an unappealing character to readers. James that is. Harry is upset that he's such a dick. He's upset that he's a cocky show off that bullied Snape, and yet, Lily is attracted to that.

The problem with Snape and Lily's relationship is that it's bullshit to begin with. This pretty popular girl who is part of a clique far removed from this other clique stays friends with the greasy, hook nosed, anti-social, loser throughout 4,5, 6 years, whatever it was, of school? And she only stops talking to him because he's hanging out with the wrong crowd and treats her poorly? Bullshit. She would have stopped talking to him one month into her first year.

Since we're on the topic of Harry Potter, may I just remind everyone that's mentioned Snape that Alan Rickman was also a scene stealer in both Die Hard and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves where he also played villains that were more charismatic than the heroes.

Also, for anyone else spending tonight watching Die Hard I'd like to raise a toast in advance to you.

Never be Ron Weasley, always be Draco. As if it needs to be said again, but well meaning, kind hearted men don't even produce the slightest tingle in a woman.

This post aroused my curiosity as my gf is an avid Harry Potter fan. I off-handedly asked her what she thought of Draco's character. Her: "He's a douche. He doesn't man up and help Voldemort or switch sides and help Harry. He just cries."

What she finds most disgusting isn't his lack of morality, rather the fact that in the end all he does is show emotional vulnerability. I don't think I could've fabricated a more RP response myself.

I remember being so shocked as a kid that girls felt that way about Draco. He literally was written to represent everything that is wrong with the world and to have no redeeming qualities whatsoever. He wasn't intelligent, physically strong, or talented in any way. Looking back, it's actually hilarious how RedPill affirming the situation actually is.

As long as you have resources and hold frame, women couldn't care less what type of a person you are. It's a safe bet that the majority of women would be more likely to break up with a guy who got laid off than a guy who cheats on them and uses them as a punching bag.

"I told them, rather severely, that Draco was not concealing a heart of gold under all that sneering at prejudice."

And they all got even more turned on...

EDIT: That should read "sneering prejudice" not "sneering at prejudice"; not that it would matter to women, the right alpha can be KKK racist for all they care, so it's cute how this lady thinks pointing out the characters prejudice will change their minds.

Draco Malfoy was one of the few genuinely interesting and well developed characters.

Whilst he had privilege, he was also emotionally abused by his parents, saw his family get destroyed etc, it was like the classical narcissitic injury which creates that kind of fucked up, but actually very fascinating person.

Compare with Harry, Hermione and Ron, they are all boring as a fuck, Harry is the guy who has everything handed to him and never really had to get his hands dirty. Hermione is just some libtarded nerd girl and Ron is the pauper with a heart of gold (pretty cliched stereotype) who looks like Ed Sheeran.

Slug and Bozo were busy picking on everyone, as well as running over children with their car. It turned their women on immensely.

Melvin, on the other hand, was a 98lb weakling. He didn't have sex until after the transformation and started literally bashing in heads.

Oh... Wait. That wasn't Harry Potter. That's The Toxic Avenger. :P

This is interesting.

Draco is a coward. Rich, handsome, but childish and whiny. Weak.

My guess is that he seems easy to control for women. He gives off that kind of vibe — like you could just pretend to like him and suck him off a few times, and soon he'd be holding your purse while you shop for poodle collars.

Probably because their dads beat their moms.
