Critical Miss: Harry Potter

[legopelle]

I'm a little uncomfortable with all of you posting how yiffing (and in extension furry) disgusts you, expecting others to find it amusing.

Everybody have right to their sexual preference, and name it whatever they want.

Think about this: would you post "Oh god, I just looked up gay sex..." in the same way? Didn't think so. Furries are totally legit like any other sexual niche, and you do not get to insult them for it.

 

[KeyMaster45]

I looked that up. You people should be ashamed of yourselves!

Welcome to the internet, you can leave you innocence in the dust bin over there.

OT: Haha! XD Oh man that had to be one of the funniest you guys have put out to date.

The last two panels of this comic made me explode in delicious laughter.

Mostly because I relate to him in a way...

The kid, I mean...

Crap...

 

[Zhukov]

Judging by the comments, you just introduced a large number of people to the concept of yiffing.

I can practically hear the corruption of innocent young minds.

... And, quite possibly, the turning of a few "mundanes" into furries.

So, let's get the system down:

Slytherin: Assholes

Gryffindor: Assholes in therapy

Hufflepuff: Rejects

Ravenclaw: apparently the only group that actually came for the education

Actually, more or less in your theme, I'd say it's more like this:

Slytherin: Selfish assholes
Gryffindor: People with more courage than sense
Hufflepuff: People with more determination than skill
Ravenclaw: Brooding geeks

Admittedly, this follows the apparent demonstration of the books, not what was suggested in the strip. Let's reduce that to the important amendment: Ravenclaw -> brooding geeks. (... although "hipsters", as suggested by someone else, is not far off from that.)

Ehhh, I'm not really sure furries and the lovably dense really go together...

This is where you're going wrong. A dislike or aversion to a particular sexual practice does not indicate a dislike or aversion of the people performing the act. In the same way I like to think that, like myself, my readers are generally in favour of gay rights but they wouldn't want to see two people of their gender having sex.

 

[Snowden's Secret]

To all the people who actually went and Googled "Yiffing" after reading this comic: You are silly buggers. All of you.

 

[Baradiel]

I'm genuinely surprised that so many people didn't know what Yiffing was...

Seriously, you're on the internet.

 

[PerfectDeath]

Aren't they supposed to be like 10 years old when they get hatted? The asshole looks 18.
Still... very funny.

well, they get the actors who are 18 but get loads of makeup to make them "look" younger to please fan girls.

 

[Ih8pkmn]

Wait... the Hufflepuff kid's only a first year... that would make him only 11 or 12 years old... I'm sorry, but if he knows what yiffing is, that's messed up.

 

[Stevepinto3]

The existence of furries in Harry Potter is disturbing. They would have been strangely excited when they learned how to turn into animals.

Attention furries: I do not hate you, most people here do not hate you. We just think your fetish is weird. You could probably have made a similar joke about people that are into traps.

No, I know that (and I was mainly targeting the comments). I do not however not think your analogue is accurate, because you are not made to watch either.

Your artistic license can make your humorous references to furry tropes understandable, and I do not target you specifically. I do however think it's weird when the entire comment body consists of posts expressing their disgust of yiff, when the same would be unthinkable if you replace furries with gays.

The correct metaphor would be you making a joke about the practices of, for example, homosexual men and the comments clearly stating their mental pain of finding out what it entails.

 

[Plurralbles]

I could read several hundred comics of this hat!

 

[MeTheMe]

Hilarious comic. Too true about the housing system at Hogwarts. Although the part about Slythirin has been done before, I like how you made the Sorting Hat be the narrator- you make his disgust marvelously conspicuous. That and the repugnant, "Aw! Aw Jesus! HUFFLEPUFF!" was just an awesome way to end. The furry kid smiling further sweetens the punchline.

That's some good shadenfruede right there. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCQGQ5qBQTA]


Hey, Hogwarts... wow that kinda sounds silly when you think about it. (Still love HP though).

That song is the sound track to my life.

Giving your readers a bit of credit, aren't you? ;p Here's hoping your right!

Loved the comic, the hat seems to be setting them up, doesn't it?

What? No butthurt furries in the comments section? I am disappointed.

Nah. We're cool. This comic was hilarious though
