...Kyle, gtfo out of harry potter debates if you don't even have a goddamn pottermore account.
And stop being a dick to everyone and strawmanning them. I'm sure it sucks to suddenly be confronted with the fact that you're racist, even if against a fictional set of werewolves, but there's no reason to take it out on us.
Insult me all you like, you're just proving that you can't defend your own position. You wouldn't be this angry if points I'm rising weren't hitting home.
Canon facts about werewolves are:
1) No one signed up for insanely good deal by 1600's standards that amounted to "don't bite other people and lock yourself up when you're about to go crazy". Motive isn't mentioned beyond conjecture as far as I know. Further control attempts after that haven't gone any better, werewolf registry was so badly handled that Greyback himself managed to slip off when interrogated during sixties.
2) They carry contagious disease which can't be cured, but can infect any human 2b) Disease in question makes them dangerous to any people around them during full moon unless specific medicine is taken
3) Of all the werewolves canon shows, one is decent, one is ravenous sociopath and rest are mook followers of sociopath in question. 3b) Even the decent one almost killed kids he tried to save because he forgot to take medicine, also almost killed a fellow student as teen.
4) Most werewolves we know (aka Fenrir's group) followed Voldemort long before Umbridge got her anti-werewolf work laws passed through.
Thus *according to canon* most werewolves are evil and all of them are highly dangerous to their surroundings. Fanon would easily give more reasonable picture which is often the case when JKR's writing is concerned. But unless you can give me the citations to back up your claims, sparse canon facts we do have available prove that most werewolves are evil dicks that refuse any control despite the need their disease warrants.
Now put your money where your mouth is and start debating, or is foaming at the mouth the best you can do?
Rising Dragon: So because this specific disease has worse consequences than normal ones for forgetting medication it can't be treated as disease? You do realize how stupid that sounds? By that logic you couldn't compare any disease that has severe symptoms if not treated with others. Try making that argument to actual medical professionals & researchers.
Seems to me that you're just throwing emotional appeals and shrieking "You can't say THAT" with fingers in your ears because you aren't able to offer logical counterarguments to the points I'm raising. Either debunk my points or admit you're wrong about what HP canon has to say about werewolves. We all know that JKR didn't really think many things through, treat this as one of them if it helps.
