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).

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.
