Fans that aren't well rounded are very guilty of this kinda crap, and it makes me just insane. Ron gets designated to being the bad guy in most fics. The reason I won't read Harry/Draco (aside from the gratuitous amounts of R/Hr in them) is because they always make Ron into The Homophobe Ignoramus.
I guess what you're teaching me is that it's universal. Ron gets used by everyone as a convenient prop. The opposition in everything.
I'm guessing that in these stories, the girlfriend isn't an OFC- is she? 'Cause if she is, my guess is to immediately write them off as Step-on-me meyer syndrome of taking a crush and upping his manly!ness for the Self insert OFC.
