Fandom seems to have a slightly worrying theory. The theory states this: Tom is a sex God that slept with Ginny, and is in no way really easy. I even saw a poster at a messageboard that will remain unnamed say she hopes "Tom won't die in book seven."
Okay. Let me state this: I do not think Voldemort is pure evil, because I don't think anyone is pure evil. And I have nothing against people who like him because of his complexity, and even think they know why he is the way he is. That's fine. If you think he really is a sex God, however, I'm warning you: you may not like this entry. Also, I bring up some
First, I want to bring up the idea that Tom and Ginny had sex - and that this was a good thing. My question is: how is a sixteen/seventeen year old having sex with an eleven year old romantic? It sounds like statutory rape to me. Not only that, but eleven is pretty young to be having sex to begin with. I was still playing with barbies and reading The Baby-Sitter's Club at eleven. Granted, they do seem to mature faster (in some ways), but they don't seem to mature as fast in other ways, including romantically.
Onto the idea that he was so sexy, his evilness doesn't matter. I can see him pretending to be in love, but being in love itself... never. Girls would catch on, and it would never work unless the girls didn't realize - but even then, it would be a sad fic for that reason, not a happy one. JK Rowling herself has stated that Voldemort never loved anyone, because he never knew it.
Want to give Voldemort a "lover", but have him only use her as a tool? If you can make it work, sure. But don't tell me you think he's a great sex God because he's mentioned as being handsome as a boy. It doesn't work like that.
(If anyone wants me to rant about something else next, please let me know!)
