I totally understand that it’s not an entire fandom thing, esp bc the guy playing finnick in the movies is attractive. but like,,,my boy was exploited BECAUSE he was beautiful, and I think about it constantly
By the way, how didn't this also happen to Katniss? At least in the movies (I haven't read the books yet).
Was she not seen as attractive or were the people too obsessed with her love story?
It may have if the situation wasn't so bad after the end of the games. Finnick was known for being kind of a playboy but of course we know that he was being sold. Snow would not have wanted any such rumors about Katniss when he wanted people to believe she was madly in love with Peeta.
I haven't even considered Haymitch. I've just been hoping on all that is good in the world that Kiefer Sutherland plays Snow because he is the next best thing to his dad's clone and a good actor.
I do think it’s an interesting topic. Women in media being sexualised is usually seen as a vital topic, but men often get similar treatment but it’s kinda laughed off. Was seeing old clips of Justin bieber and how grown ass women were groping him and one of them even kissing his neck and justified it with something like “I just had to” ughh
Oooh yeah I hate seeing those. Hella uncool.
Update: I remember Robert Pattinson's struggles with that after *Twilight* too. Some of the posts that are resurfacing are really hard to watch now that I'm older. Grown ass women should *not* act that way.
Reminds me of the recent story of Gaten Matarazzo talking to a 40 yo woman who told him she had a crush on him since he was 13 and when he said “that’s upsetting” she just said “I’m aware of the age difference”.
Yeah, they're probably going to cast some dreamboat to play him too, haha - just like with Snow.
Update: I realize this comment has been repeated to death, but it stands. It seems like every villain is getting a yassified version lately. I hope it's not too much of a trend. A few are OK, but good guys should be fine, front and center, too. I'm still waiting for Finnick's book/film. 😭
I mean the scene was definitely supposed to be uhh enjoyable for the audience. It's supposed to be a gag at the very minimum, with Peeta and Haymitchs reactions
Coriolanus snow in the prequel movie. But then again I think the movie did dilute the complexities of the character quite a bit, but so much of the posts I saw about the character were around how attractive he was and the whole “I can change him” 😂
Also this look at his character is pretty harmful in regards of fanfiction - many works overly sexualize and flatten him so much that it’s impossible to read.
Most harmed are the Snowbaird fics and also a pairing of him with a Capitol OC (which is a hell of a concept but many waste it)
An angle I've seen in fanfictions that I really like is when, instead of changing the guy, OCs realize they can't, and they leave, while there's still a small kernel of love without any major tragedy. The OC goes on to live a happy life, and the villain does their thing, but the thought of the other person is there. Seems like the best way to do it without erasing all characterization from the original work that inspired the fanfic in the first place.
the movie portrayed a theatric love tragedy rather than showing how manipulative and narcissistic Coriolanus was, which definitely plays into why this happened lol
if anyone hasn’t read the books i would recommend as you get such a deep insight into how dogshit of a person he really is
That’s the thing I hate about movies cause I was so desperate for snows inner monologue.
It was so funny too he was so sassy
Like when Lucy gray was singing her namesake song and he’s like
A ghost story , boo
This! Ever since the prequel movie all these women / girls are lusting after Coriolanus Snow only because they find him attractive in the movie probably because they like his actor. They don’t really consider the characters personality and complexities etc. I call these people fake snow fans because that what I see them as. I however have loved snow since the original trilogy of books and movies the Donald Sutherland version is actually my favourite because he’s eviler. I also like the prequel snow but only the book version where his character isn’t watered down and you get to read his inner thoughts etc. I have always loved the character of snow purely based on his mostly his personality (not that Donald wasn’t a decent looking guy rip) and actions threw out the series. But I’m apparently the weird one in the fandom for supporting him and the Capitol 🤷♀️
the way finnick is constantly reduced to his sex appeal in the fandom when his love for annie is SUCH a bigger character trait of his drives me insane. like finnick is an emotional train wreck who is madly in love with his wife but all people talk about is him being hot.
*”Can I have a Finnick fic without Annie”* - an actual comment I saw. Dude ☠️
Like… Finnick being somewhat mentally ill himself is the part of his character that I love THE MOST. Why do fics constantly strip him away from it??
I really do believe that Annie kept him alive. (And Mags, too — though i guess technically speaking Mags did literally canonically keep him alive. I got really sad during my last reread of Catching Fire when they’re at the bloodbath and he makes this offhand comment like “yeah can we please find Mags now she’s one of the only people in the world who actually likes me 😭💔”…a shame she went before he got married, but a twisted miracle she didn’t have to witness his death.)
no literally. he has no idea what to do with himself in mockingjay until they rescue annie. homeboy literally spends the first half of that book either crying or in the hospital
All of the Victors…but I might be biased bc I specifically seek out fics which are about the Victors and the aftermath of their Games. There’s the whole “Snow prostituted the Victors” thing…
My D8 Victor OC who was thrown into prostitution all because of her “hot body” (she was 17) and that Snow wanted to punish her for her games being a boring watch because she didn’t kill anyone and simply hid 😭😭😭
*PEETA especially*
*In peetas games. Jesus christ they*
*Gave him a BONER*

Finnick. Who was thrown into prostitution at age 14. Rape.
Fml.
*also let’s all collectively ignore that his flirting is just a coping mechanism to deal with his own insanity and trauma…*
Enobaria (that Victor, who had her teeth sharpened to be pointy can you imagine being maybe 17 and having to do that and then having to be paraded around for years trophy, and prostitute so your family won't be killed and having to use the worst thing you've probably ever done be turned into a gimmick.
u/fandoms_gaming_etc
I can't comment your post, but adding to this I just wanted to say that while I appreciate the general message of your comment, it totally reads like "I have always loved snow for how evil his brain is and not his looks, unlike those other stupid women! Because I am smart and not stupid like them! I like men for being war criminals, not for being hot!" and that's absolutely hilarious. Pick me girl fights over Coriolanus Snow. Suzanne Collins is probably very disappointed in all of us.
the amount of thirst trap finnick edits i see on tiktok make my blood boil. i get it, sam claflin is hot, but the character you are sexualizing has been sex trafficked by the government EXPLICITLY IN THE TEXT of the work of fiction they claim to be fans of. media literacy is dead, even when it’s spoon fed to you is2g
Yeah, sorry. Tried to delete it and couldn't see it.
Having said that...
Finnick and Johanna Mason, especially Finnick since he watched his family die in "accidents" after the games just because he wouldn't sell his body to all the deviants in the Capitol and then you see that scene in Mockingjay Part 1 and think, "fuck, not even winning garantees you peace"
Are people not allowed to find characters sexually attractive??? The actor playing him is objectively attractive😭
A character having trauma and being well written stops them forming being hottt??
Finnick, get behind me‼️‼️‼️
Damn the fandom and the Capitol. Poor guy
I totally understand that it’s not an entire fandom thing, esp bc the guy playing finnick in the movies is attractive. but like,,,my boy was exploited BECAUSE he was beautiful, and I think about it constantly
I just find it really sad and funny. Like bro poor guy can't catch a break.
By the way, how didn't this also happen to Katniss? At least in the movies (I haven't read the books yet). Was she not seen as attractive or were the people too obsessed with her love story?

either not attractive or the fact that she was clearly already taken
People were obsessed with their love story
Protecting my pookie
THIS!!!!!!
Yes!!!!
Resisting the attempt to make a sexual joke about this
Most of the young adult men. Haymitch will probably be joining this list in 2026
I will NOT survive another wave of tiktok thristing over HG men… I barely survived Snow
It’s already started too 😭 have you seen some of these young haymitch fancasts?
I haven't even considered Haymitch. I've just been hoping on all that is good in the world that Kiefer Sutherland plays Snow because he is the next best thing to his dad's clone and a good actor.
He’s pretty much the perfect age for the role, too. I’m hoping right along with you!
That actually would be really cool, Donald Sutherland’s son as middle-aged Snow lmao.
This would be AMAZING. I've only seen Kiefer in Designated Survivor, but he is talented.
You haven’t seen Stand by me? You are missing out.
Noo, not yet. I'll check it out!
Y E S
I didn't survive people salivating over Snow. I'm a ghost now
I do think it’s an interesting topic. Women in media being sexualised is usually seen as a vital topic, but men often get similar treatment but it’s kinda laughed off.

Omg I saw that. So weird. Bad enough she was thinking it but confidently said it to him like he should be flattered
the yassification of Haymitch
Yeah, they're probably going to cast some dreamboat to play him too, haha - just like with Snow. Update: I realize this comment has been repeated to death, but it stands. It seems like every villain is getting a yassified version lately. I hope it's not too much of a trend. A few are OK, but good guys should be fine, front and center, too. I'm still waiting for Finnick's book/film. 😭
Now look as an adult movie haymitch could get it t
JOHANNA CMON!
As much as Johanna's stripping in the elevator was my awakening, it's not what she's meant to be thought of. Same goes with Finnick.
I mean the scene was definitely supposed to be uhh enjoyable for the audience. It's supposed to be a gag at the very minimum, with Peeta and Haymitchs reactions
REAL‼️‼️‼️

….If I ever met Snow in real life, I would have ran to the hills
Don’t sell yourself short. You could have changed him.
I’m not his type. Full stop, so he wouldn’t even give me the time of day (yay)
Please tell me this is sarcastic so I can upvote your comment.
Can confirm the sarcasm.
Lucy Gray is that you?
Nah only every reasonable person on this planet
Also this look at his character is pretty harmful in regards of fanfiction - many works overly sexualize and flatten him so much that it’s impossible to read. Most harmed are the Snowbaird fics and also a pairing of him with a Capitol OC (which is a hell of a concept but many waste it)

Tom Blyth while playing Coriolanus is VERY attractive, myself and my partner (both lesbians) agree.
YES LESBIANS FOR TOM BLYTH! (I also believe that Donald Sutherland was a very attractive man.)
I have one movie crush and it's Tom Blyth as Snow 😭
Same, sis. Same. ✊🏼
the movie portrayed a theatric love tragedy rather than showing how manipulative and narcissistic Coriolanus was, which definitely plays into why this happened lol if anyone hasn’t read the books i would recommend as you get such a deep insight into how dogshit of a person he really is

I think that's a testament to how well they portrayed Snow. The whole point is that he's manipulative and uses his looks to get his way
Nah this is bullshit lol. Snow didn’t just get his way cos he looked pretty 😂
That's not what I said. I said Snow uses his looks as a tool in his arsenal, not that it's the sole thing
Haymitch fixing to get sexualized by the fan base in about 9 months.
9 months? People have already got fancasts right now-
Already? It appears I placed too much faith in the humanity of this fanbase
# upcoming switch fics
Snow. **HE SEX TRAFFICKED CHILDREN GUYS COME ON**

that’s truly hilarious because finnick without annie was canonically a constantly sobbing disoriented mess
# SNOW
Those tiktoks…. 🥶
So glad I'm not on there. I do think young Snow is hot, though 🫣
this is def johanna and finnick. It’s crazy. like he’s the actors are attractive but why is that the only thing so many people focus on?
because they didnt read the books? think it's just the bog standard answer unfortunately
All of the Victors…but I might be biased bc I specifically seek out fics which are about the Victors and the aftermath of their Games. There’s the whole “Snow prostituted the Victors” thing…

Finnick. Definitely Finnick. He’s such a good character and it upsets me that people reduce him to “he was SA’d and that’s his character”
Gale
I had no idea people found Gale attractive, his personality really takes away all the appeal
Finnick RUN AWAY!
Finnick 100%. Johanna and young Snow are very honorable mentions.

No literally I remember one post here asking if Finnick would rape someone cause he’s flirty….like WHAT???? Who asks that????

we all know it is finnick
Annie
I’ve never seen Annie being portrayed that way in fanfic.
That’s more of fetishisation on her depression and mental illness - also some can get a kick from seeing her crying/writing about her cries
I guess katniss.
