Was wondering if we had a Malfoid thread here, Malfoid is 1800000. Besides the fact that I too fantasize about being taunted by platinum blonde aristocracy, it makes JK Rowling's characterization of Draco as a mean girl work so much better.

Draco's ok but he's too much of a twink. If Rowling was brave enough to write him as a straight up billionaire playboy biker-gang neo-nazi, now we're talking

It's always been weird to me that blonde tsunderes are actually pretty common in western children's media (hey arnold, jimmy nuetron, etc) but entirely absent from teen/YA stuff

idk but my guess is the archetype risks alienating the suburban white girl audience. Same reason that Hermione softens way faster than would best fit the narrative. You don't want the self-insert to be a horrible jerk. But scrotes will go for anything so in scrote fiction, tsunderes are A-OK

the explanation i saw is that rowling is a birdbrain who wrote Malfoy as a mean girls style female bully and the story works better if that character was just female
and chuds used "Malfoid" as a way to gatekeep the people who care about her opinion on troons
