Yes but animefags are ruining it. Their shitty tropes that they think are good writing are infecting the trend, warping characters into unrecognizable states. And no, just because it started as a tsundere trend does not mean you can just make her a one note sussy baka ass anime girl.

You cannot just twist the gender and call it a day, the point of Malfoy is to portray that archetype of obnoxious posh brat. Malfoid cannot be cute and attractive, in the same way she cannot bug Pottah because she secretly fancies him. I can see Malfoid harassing Hermione, but with Pottah it requires more thinking to invent the conflict. Pic related is what I would see fit - smug, blant and arrogant, not gentle.

Because artists can draw whatever the hell they want, there are no rules. If you a fanfic or art that you think is too <whatever> and that "it's ruining it" then that's your problem.
From where I'm sitting there's been a remarkable number of good ones. Many are only "good" in the sense of being enjoyable one-off fanfic scenes: eg Malfoid teasing potter for staring in the mirror of erised then again laughing that it's broken because all she can see is herself and Harry. Wouldn't actually worl well in the narrative as a whole but fun to watch. Similar with the love potion one.

Making Draco female doesn't just reaffirm his arc, it gives it somewhere to go. The real payoff is Lucius.

A spoiled daddy's girl is the natural read, and it makes his over protectiveness land harder a father who wants nothing but the best for his daughter, in a house built on appearances.

As the story progresses, Lucius has to sit with his daughter falling for Harry, and that forces him inward. Does he break her to fit the family's politics, or break himself for her sake?

Push her toward the Dark Lord and he watches her heart break, watches that smile disappear. He tells himself it's for the good of the family, until he can't stand it. Or she runs to Harry's side, and he has an even harder choice to make.

So it's enemies to lovers on the kids' side, with "But daddy, I love him!" underneath. A father willing to do anything for his family, even serve the Dark Lord, who has to change because his daughter loves the hero.

Most people have shitty taste and Harry Potter is one of the most popular franchises in the world. Still, most of the high quality art I've seen actually gets most of what makes it good, it's the AI sloppas who typically don't understand why or how it works, i.e it can't be full throttle from the get go but something with ups and downs as the series progresses.

No it wouldn't be better. Malfoy is a wizard supremacist, wood and spell ultra traditional. Malfoid wouldn't be hanging out with Potter the same way Malfoy didn't. It's like a story where a British colonizer "falls in love" with an abo cave woman. It's inherently fetishistic and shit. Besides the story is about defeating voldemort and Harry becoming a self actualized adult. All this fag romance stuff is unimportant

You can though, considering that Malfoy is written as a bitchy girl-come-teenager, bases off Rowling. Rowling specifically wrote Malfoy as a parody of the girls who b-b-b-bullied her.

Dude, but can you imagine a girl bugging a guy? I can only see that with this left-liberal-feminist-whatever discourse, but it’s not about Malfoid since she’s conservative old money kid. She would rather just ignore him. Though now I can kinda imagine her pulling Marquise de Merteuil shtick where he rejects her advances so that she plots to compromise his love interest I guess. IMO it would be difficult to give him female rival and keep it looking natural.

Now that I think of it, Malfoid must be a dyke, and Pottah may steal a girl from her, being the nasty white man rich jock he is who already has all the girls. This way they kinda in the same ballpark, and I see the potential for long time animosity.

>>25589057
Thank you! Malfoid is just a wish-fulfilling fanfic wank to allow for the fantasy of having cute blonde old money gf, which does have a place to be in a fanfics, don’t get me wrong, but in canon it’s like a puzzle piece that doesn’t fit, so that you force it disregarding all of the small bits and curves.

But then it kinda woke-fy the story, which is not the same wibe so idk.

>>25589565
>Dude, but can you imagine a girl bugging a guy?
I can but that's only because it's purely anecdotal. A girl and boy I went to highschool with would bicker and bitch and fight constantly, allllllllllll the way from year 9 to graduation. Like proper antagonistic. Dunno how it happened but they're married now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ don't know the mechanics of how it goes from one to another but it does happen

In terms of Malfoid's romantic interest in Potter, I could see it all stem very easily with the onset of puberty and evolve from there. Like they've been bickering for years, her developing a romantic interest could be an ego thing, considering she IS egotistical

>give him a female rival and keep it looking natural
Very easily. You'd assume again, it's natural evolution of their early years enemy situation, again considering the onset of puberty and all the turmoil that comes with it

>>25589580
I think he was taking the piss with that last bit, which is why I ignored it

>>25589583

>>25589584
>>25589565 and >>25589580 is the same anon, me, lol. I genuinely thought it’s a feasible idea, albeit woke. I don’t like the idea of romance between Pottah and Malfoid, I didn’t even like the canon finale with them all getting married and shit, too banal and who cares really. But that’s on me being asexual millennial I guess.

>>25589591
Yeah I get the teasing/playful jabs thing, give me attention even its negative thing, right I'm not stupid.
I cannot stress enough that from an outsiders point of view they looked like they hated one another. Like he ran over a duck once and shoved it in her bag and she'd key his car.

But with the Malfoid thing, I can easily imagine that'd she, at least, would be pulling that any attention is better than none card. Internally maybe keeping the why unacknowledged or what, I don't know

Yes. On so many levels. Boy Draco is just dull, he adds nothing to the story, he's even bad at being a bully. Replacing him with Draecena makes the story so much better. I'd rather have a good and comfy romantic comedy (and tragedy sometimes) than what we got originally with Draco.

He has no love interest. His wife dies in the introduction and basically sets up his entire character.

Remember it's not just sex. It's not just having a female costar that pairs up with the Alpha Guy dudebro hero in the end Just Because. It's a story with actual romantic character arc. So bringing up anything like Fast and Furious would be missing the point hard.

>>25589826
No they don't. Men's films entirely lack romance beyond, 'then he has sex with the babe.' Men do genuinely like real romance stories but they're almost never presented. Probably because of the modern stereotype that 'romance is just for girls' which is dumb.

>>25589878
then they should write good romance instead of coomer fantasy. which they wont and this thread is proof of it ctfu. modern men are capable of understanding and writing nothing but masturbation.

It actually does work

1. It improves many of the most criticised parts of the original story, like Draco's story presence and ultimate character arc being kind of whatever in several of the books even though he's introduced as one of the central characters in the first book, Voldemort getting dabbed on by the elder wand being anticlimatic and the conclusions of the romantic subplots being weak.

2. It increases the drama and angst and personal stakes the characters have on the events. The story's emotional highs become higher and the lows lower. Tons of people can clearly sense this somehow, but aren't able to put it into words. There's a good reason why so many artists have drawn the bathroom fight's ending for example.

3. The side effects somehow manage to spill over to other's characters arcs and add more drama to them too. This poster >>25589034 makes a great point, and I'll also point out it adds an extra twist to Snape because they would remind him of his own mistakes and tragedies even more than before.

Because romance is cringe and people who like it are rightfully mocked.

>>25589860
So, to get more specific about the point (not that (You) care, but I'm going to explain anyway):

The Malfoid romance is a "beta male" targeted romance. This is the neglected market. Not "loser beta" but the healthy, reasonable understanding that most men are beta males but can grow up to be confident, well-adjusted and desirable men. It is a dangerous narrative in a gynocentric society, in that it can unfairly raise a beta male's hopes and expectations against the harsh reality of "liberated"(unprincipled) real-world female behavior. But it should also be obvious why it's appealing to a large audience.

Not feminists, gape-faced soicukolds and assorted degenerate marxists pushing disgusting ugliness.
Not the dudebro and the bimbo.
The beautiful princess and the everyman who rises to heroism and wins her heart.

>>25589884

For an actual romance to work, the girl has to be legitimately desirable and appealing, and also needs underlying seeds of vulnerability that can grow toward the romantic conclusion. Being cute and attractive is not mutually exclusive with being an obnoxious brat. She needs to be a beautiful girl, not a battleaxe with a vagina.

Except it fixes all the problems in the story.
-- Malfoy's abandoned character arc which was offscreen'd in the last book
-- The weird Ginny/Harry romance that doesn't fit
-- The theme of Love being the strongest magic was sort of abandoned in later books, but this would bring it back in the final confrontation, defeating Voldemort twice with same magic.
-- Snape's character suddenly becomes way more interesting, trying to test the relationship. Then later on sacrificing himself since it represented the relationship with Lilly he always wanted.

>>25590800
the underlying premise of making malfoy a girl is deeply tied to making her the main love interest because that's the only way malfoy is a character

some of his fans like to pretend he had a redemption arc or something, but he didn't. he was a prick at the start and he's a prick at the end and he is never really forced to confront or change his flawed values. JKR made the character to be a low stakes foil for small child harry and once the plot outgrew the significance of the schoolyard bully, malfoy's character no longer had a purpose and was thus ignored for a couple of books before JKR decided to throw him back into plot relevance in HBP. and the result is just, kinda shit. his character doesn't amount to much, but he still has fans because there's fertile ground there. you could do all sorts of interesting drama with him. he's a rich pureblood like harry, so you have both tension over their clashing values and a sense of connection that could take forms of jealousy or rivalvry or, eventually friendship (or romance). you could milk all sorts of drama and angst out of a character who is forced to go against the school who, despite grumbling, has been his home for years, turning against teachers and students alike when the dark lord forces him to act.

it's no wonder really people jump at the chance to give him more space in the story. and that's really the core of these "female malfoy fixes these problems" arguments - a better written, more expansive male malfoy would fix a lot of these problems too. JKR just dropped the ball.

Just wait longer if you want a perfectly curated Malfoid-story that doesn't suck in any part.

The Sectumsempra scene would be so insanely heavy you couldn't consider that a children's story anymore at least.

How could Harry ever recover from that? The stakes and payoffs would for sure be something else.

Female Draco would not have been enough to save one of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

Exactly anon. There's a lot of fertile ground there to make an incredibly compelling and interesting character.
Bringing romance into it adds to the conflict that both characters would come across and the conflict they would have within themselves.

I don't know, you've got a boy and a girl, who would, because of circumstances around them and because of who they are as people, are going to hurt each other.
But they're not bad or good or have all the answers, they're just two kids who are trying the best they can with what they have as things turn to shit all around them. That gets me a bit

>>25591470
I've seen this copypasta around the site. Very neat

I swear that Malfoid shit is some kind of psyop. Almost all the "content" is AI Slop, there's barely any real fan art or cosplay for it.

There was, but the betacucks got mad over it.

Malfoid is muchmore concept than boy Draco, there's no argue about that.
But should her circle members - Crabbe and Goyle should be replaced with female minions?

Pros: it's only natural, women tend to form cliques in schools. It would make Malfoid and her friends something like a clique from Mean Girls movie.

Cons: it's another genderbend. We don't want to turn HP into "Harry Potter and hot harem" story.

Thoughts?

Crabbe and Goyle still work well as simps to get used by Malfoid as dumb muscle whenever the need arises. For female friends/some mean Slytherin girl posse, you can probably repurpose some of the very minor characters who were already in Malfoy's orbit like Pansy Parkinson.

>>25591756
According to G.W.F. Hegel, "content" and "form" are "entangled," so to speak, in a "unity".

You can interpret this within a quantum-mechanical framework.

>>25591784
>Give Crabbe and Goyle the Malfoid treatment
no, that'd defeat the reason why those two goons were ever involved.
>Clique
Already there with a few of Slytherin girls. Draco had a clique with them in the OU, it'd stand to reason they would be more involved in the Malfoid Universe

>>25591784
I don't think Malfoid would tolerate male orbiters.

Nigga, even if they let some sloppa slip through on accident, almost all the Malfoid art on Danbooru is legit, and that tag now accounts for full half of all Harry Potter art assembled, despite the trend having started only two weeks ago.

Zased. Whores and their gooner simps are lame

>>25591865
I was referring to harry_potter_(series) which has 6.4k entries. Or make it 7k to capture the entire franchise via the wizarding_world tag. At any rate, (almost) every second picture related to the franchise as a whole now features Malfoid.

Genderflipped Crabbe and Goyle have been drawn, they just don't really add much, so there's not much reason to bother. Malfoid is the singular character who massively improves the story with a simple genderflip.

>>25591870
Ah true my mistake anon. I'm still impressed

>>25591874
>they just don't really add much
I recall one of them goes off the deep end and tries to kill Harry and co but ends up dying. I wonder how that scene would play out in the Malfoidverse.

>>25591882
Their death would be a lot more sympathetic, assuming they still meet the same fate.

>>25591874
I agree. There's no reason to genderbend those two, when there are perfectly canon slitherin girls that can act as Malfoid's minions. Altough it makes some problems, like when Harry and Ron drank potion that turned them into Crabbe and Goyle.

>>25587902
QRD on why this became suddenly hyperpopular in September 2026?

I've seen
>Aroused, Potter?
threads on /tv/ plenty times years ago, but this particular trend must have started in September this year. Why? I checked the first page on Gelbooru when looking for fap pics.

>>25591937
Because this time it's not just coom bait, but there's a story behind her. People analyse what would happen if instead of Draco there was Malfoid, write fanfics, make animations etc.

>>25591937
It was easy to automatically dismiss it as a niche fetish thing but then off the back of some art going viral and a funny meme name it suddenly gained momentum, which prompted people to properly consider the idea.

>>25591874
>>25591931
Crabbe and Goyle could be made physically larger and imposing duo and give them +20 IQ points each so they can do nasty mischief without Draco and actually perform the brutish male bully role that they were supposed to be.

A gigabaddie like Malfoid wouldn't hang out with two middling-status brutes as her friends. She could still manipulate them into executing her plans regardless. Malfoid would be the #1 popular Slytherin girl and her squad could be Pansy Parkinson and some cool guy like Theodore Nott or Blaise Zabini. More an alliance of power rather than unconditional friendship. This Slytherin dark trio with two girls and one boy would perfectly reflect the golden trio of Harry. Having an actually competent nemesis-trio would up the stakes so much.

>>25591937
Instead of being a coom coom coom trend, its a big thunk trend.
Like how would a Malfoid fit into the world of Harry, what would change, how would other characters affect her, how would she affect them etc etc.
It's really fun seeing the back and forth over stuff like whether she'd be a "Daddy's Girl" and strive to make her father proud (he would be) or whether Lucius would lowkey resent her and view her solely by the social or political capital she'd net

Conspiracytards will tell you Malfoid has been astroturfed to promote the HP reboot, but if you ask me, it's probably the other way around: With the new HP show looming on the horizon, people's thoughts have returned to the franchise of their youth and a female version of Malfoy has always had a lot of breakout potential. This specific trend could've conceivable started two years earlier when pic related was drawn, but it just didn't catch on at the time. Now, however, the stars have finally aligned and random chance has given Malfoid the final push she needed to really blossom in the public conciousness.

It is an ingenious small change that rewrites the 7 books. Malfoid is the key change that gives HP potential to become a mythic masterpiece with long-lasting cultural relevance. AI visuals allow more people to concretely visualize it as something that could actually be real.

>the romance sub-plots have always been intensely critiqued as forced, unbelievable, sudden, uneventful
>removes the tired "Slytherin is pure evil House" that Rowling forced and what the fandom tried to rewrite for two decades
>fixes the weak ending with a more satisfying completion to the Hero's Journey
The series starts with a mother's love and The Boy Who Lived. That rhymes with the ending The Girl Who Loved that saves Harry and the world. This redeems all of House Slytherin and makes the fractured world complete again.

>>25591937
Same as Bowsette.
Initial design was hot and things just spiraled from there.

HARRY POTTER JUST NEEDS A HARRIËTTE POTTER

THE MALFOYS ARE, IN THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR SEX, PARTS OF THE ANTAGONISTS TO THE PROTAGONISTS, SO GENDERSWAPPING A MALFOY WOULD MAKE THE BATTLE NOT BETTER OR WORSE, ONLY MORE SEXUALIZED

Someone kinda is. I'd be interested to see what the esteemed scholars of /lit/ think of this actually;
https://archiveofourown.org/series/6704161

He skipped a lot of the first book but he's writing like a man with a mission, and there seem to be more changes than writing Malfoid in.

>>25591968
Correct, and when they did so consider, they discovered a lot of interesting potential-- both in silly, fun ideas and serious full-rewrite style analysis.

Anyways, Malfoid is the puzzle piece that completes the Harry Potter series, transforming it from a middling children-come-YA series into a mythos about the redeeming power of Love in all it's forms.
No further changes to characters are needed, Malfoy just has to be born as a girl, Malfoid.
The series will be *chef's kiss*

I'm surprised I haven't seen more Goslingposting yet, because so many Malfoid scenarios are massive Goslingbait, the Yule ball especially. Well, I guess people would rather post incoming Malfoid art directly.

>>25592084
I was mildly teased by one in middle school, but by high school she moved onto the jocks and lost interest. Nothing like the isekai fantasy because we were awkward teenagers in American public schools it was honestly very cringe.

>>25592020
Not really the same as Bowsette, beyond being viral memes. Ultimately Bowsette was never more than a joke. "haha Peach rejects both Mario and Bowser so Bowser uses a power-up to turn into a girl." So there was the joke layer, the troon layer, and the coomer layer and that was it. Lots of people fascinated by Malfoid seem to have initially dismissed it as another Bowsette, but then after giving it a second look realized it wasn't. Some people seem to be reluctantly creating some malfoid content (maybe pretending to be reluctant) because so many fans are begging for it.

>>25591791
I think you still need boys to have boy conflicts with Harry. I realize Rowling didn't write boys all that well but she still tried, and it would be weird to not have any male competition. You'd have to change Malfoid's relationship with the goons. Male Malfoy needs them at his side all the time, because they enable his bullying. Without them, he'd be getting decked constantly. Even with Crabbe and Goyle around, Malfoy still gets his ass kicked several times. Rules are different for girls

So I would say Crabbe and Goyle would still be in the Slytherin clique with Malfoid and Pansy and so on, and they'd simp for her and cause trouble for Harry Ron and Hermione. But they wouldn't be her ever-present wingmen/bodyguards.

>>25592130
Sloppa aside it's perfect. Her role as a death eater, the enmity toward potter, the daddy's girl dynamic with her father being so much stronger given her longing for a powerful male figure, bonding with Harry to watch over his moves but secretly harboring admiration and then feelings... the whole appeal to draco in the fandom was this very dynamic but through m/m slash fics. Changing draco into a girl ties it all together so much better and more universally, away from fujo fetish bait, in a honest to god straight pairing, and also the romance with ron's sister was shit.
She's perfect. Make her a little more crazy and sadistic too so that I can fix her.

>>25587971
Your mistake is that you're looking at this as a legitimate thought exercise instead of mindless self-insert slop.

>>25591850
They want to imagine them two-timing her because they're degenerate cucks. Making them women wouldn't satisfy their need to see their waifu getting dicked down by other men.
