Felton's Law
Sep. 30th, 2019 05:10 pmBased off a comment that I saw a while ago on the Internet, this goes as follows:
The longer people on the Internet discuss a villain or anti-hero character, the higher the probabilty is that someone will claim that fans of the character only like him (and I use 'him' because this is generally used for male characters) because they're attracted to him and/or the actor who plays him. The actor who played Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films and for whom this law is named, Tom Felton, is one such example.
However, this law does not apply when reversed. Fans of heroic characters shall not be accused of only admiring them because they find them attractive. Because since they are heroic, obviously fans must have other motives for liking them. :P
