what it comes down to
I finally gave the ultimate summary of my response to X-gen sex, even in fiction, and particularly in HP:
In response to my comment, "I have a strong desire to punch anyone who squeals in glee over a story about a teacher seducing an 11 year old," marksykins wrote You wanting to punch someone you don't know over them liking something fictional baffles me... And I summarized for her what that squee means to me: "Oh, neat! Sexual initiation of an adolescent boy by an authority figure, setting him up for an adulthood of promiscuity, self-loathing, and overcompensating arrogance. That is so hot!"
And now, I retire the hobby horse. Whenever I want to make the same damn point, I'll just reference this entry.
