I don't know whether to be thoroughly amused or indignantly flabbergasted. The british character is complaining to the american one how disgusting it is that it is perfectly legal to marry your own cousin.

All i can do at this point is pointedly raise my eyebrow. Because it is fucking rich for the american to be insulted by this fact, when Rudi Giuliani, the former mayor of New York, was quite legally married to his cousin.

#reading fanfic #harry potter fandom #us politics #it was his second cousin #but the writer also didn't specify a difference for UK #and honestly I am pretty sure that blood sibling marriage a la Targaryens #that was apparently practiced in the Gaunt family #was pretty illegal #by muggle or Wizarding law #and first cousin marriage is legal in the UK #but it is also legal in the US to marry a literal child to an adult man twice their age #so I don't really get your fucking point author #there are no actual winners here so get off your moral superiority high horse #could we maybe stop projecting our personal issues all over the fic #and at least try to get into the mindset of the characters #that would be nice
