Harry Potter 'Malfoid' fan‑art trend criticized for use of derogatory 'foid' term

here's a blocklist of artists who have hopped on the genderbend harry potter / malfoy / malfoid trend (or have made a post saying they enjoy it/are going to draw it in the future) 👋 bsky.app/profile/did:...

Here's my take on the viral Draco Malfoid trend! Thoughts?

Galfoy 💚 I love this trend of gender bending Malfoy! I really like the idea of pairing Draco with Hermione (I've read waaaayyy too many fanfics lol) so I felt like this was my opportunity to draw that 😏 #malfoid #dracomalfoy #fanartfriday #harrypotterfanart

How are there people on THIS SITE posting genderbend tsundere hetslop Harry Potter Malfoy art titled "Malfoid" and not having it being treated like instant career suicide?

To any & all artists participating in the "Malfoid" trend: I hope your phone only charges at a progressively hard to reach angle. That goes for you "allies" thinking r63 of the fascist nepo-baby is somehow a "gotcha" on Rowling, too. It's not. [...] #FuckHP #TransRightsAreHumanRights #LGBTQIA2

Supporting Harry Potter in any way is actively supporting an organized fascist movements. Fan art, fics, reading, rngaging all of that is part of fueling a trans genocide

Ten, who wears glasses, today told my sister he thought he might be Harry Potter for Halloween. she got maybe two seconds into talking about JKR's behavior and he was like "wow, thank you for telling me, Mom. I would never dress up as Harry Potter now that I know about this."

The context of this fuckass Malfoid trend should seriously open more people's eyes to how fanart is a commercial venture and uncompensated marketing

I express dislike of harry potter ip shit and suddenly my post breaks containment and gets a few chud "you mad?!!!" replies lol I am annoyed and disappointed; the unreasonably mad people are those who create a sockpuppet bluesky account to google "malfoid" and respond to discontent

if you still talk about harry potter in a positive way, unfollow me and block me

Folks keep bringing up this Harry Potter trend but I don't even know what it is and no one I follow has drawn or reposted any type of Harry Potter art 🤔 I guess that just means I only follow cool people who are somewhat physically and mentally attractive ☺️

Pretty sure the track to this was bad vibes all the way down: Foid (short for femoid, the incel term for girl) > malfoid > harry potter r63 in 2026)

It's funny having heard the ao3 dweebs say for years that their gay harry potter fanfic is actually totally owning jkr and definitely not a huge reason behind the franchise's resurgence and now the 4chan backwash doing this "malfoid" art trend are making the same excuse

So let me get this straight Someone out there for whatever reason drew a Harry Potter character as an anime girl and artists for whatever reason decided to make it a trend? And y'all just out here going with along with it?? .... like come on guys? lock it in gonna need you to think a bit more here

"draco malfoid" is the sludge at the bottom of the barrel of twitter (currently "X"). combining: harry potter, "foid" the misogynistic slur, genderswapping a potter character and the implications thereof, AI generated anime girl art, just so many things that suck conflagrating in this one place
