LJ versus Harry Potter fans on Spiegel ;)

[kennahijja]

German speakers? Der Spiegel is discussing the LJ/6A bruhaha. I'm still grinning - Wow! This reminds me why I enjoy that magazine. There is a bit of the usual condescending amusement over fandom, and a wild mixup of Strikethrough I and II, but overall, it's amazingly supportive (or rather not too sympathetic towards 6A).

*is amused*

Lol - I had a laugh about the discussion in the forum too.

Also been thinking about translating like you guys, but figured that someone would have it done faster and in, probably, cleaner English than me

But man - aren't I happy for German/European non-conservative thoughts on the matter. I believe the general 'us laws/standards are rather freaky' sentiment that does exist over here helps considerably.

It made my day :)

Thanks for that link, Hijja. It made my day, too. If I have time later tonight, I might translate it.

And yes, it is amazingly supportive. Like cruentum, I suspect that the widely shared consensus that much of American laws and norms regarding sexuality are irrational does inform the background of this analysis, and makes the writer more sympathetic.
