"Regulus didn't really have a redemption arc, he did it for selfish reasons/his own pride."
Whatever the reason behind his decision, Regulus sacrificed himself to destroy Voldemort. That is the opposite of selfish. Realistically, what did he gain? Nothing, because he died, so how could it be selfish. We don't know why he did it, but in the end it doesn't really matter because the end result was the same: he sacrificed himself to take down Voldemort.
"Regulus only changed because Voldemort hurt Kreacher whom he saw as his property."
Based on the information that we do have from Canon, this cannot be true. we know from Kreachers stories that Regulus was always nicer to him than most people, which means that he probably saw Kreacher as more than an object, maybe even a friend if he was willing to die instead of him. Either way, Regulus didn't just decide to go against everything he'd ever known just because his houself had gotten injured. This was probably the breaking point that led to his decision.
The anti jeguls and anti regulus people calling everyone fascists are starting to get on my nerves. Especially because they're flooding the jegulus tag while complaining about us flooding the other tags. Hypocrisy at its finest.
"Lily is treated as a surrogate and Regulus is being made the parent of her child."
I've read maybe 3 fics where Lily was a surrogate and only a few where she wasn't involved in Harry's life (usually because she was dead). Most of us aren't taking away her role in his life. Co-parenting is a more popular story where James and Lily have harry but date other people. That doesn't take away from Lily's role as a mother at all. Once again, she's not focused on in these stories because they are not about her, they are about James and Regulus. If you want more stories with Lily raising Harry without James, write them.
Im.. Soft 🥺🥺🥺

This is so true. Just like with any character, their actions as children are excusable but anything horrible they do as adults cannot be forgotten about or excused. This goes for Peter, Regulus, Barty and even James and Sirius too. There is a difference between young characters and old characters as well as between canon characters and fanon characters.
Imma say it:
I’m pro CHILD AND STUDENT snape but the second he’s an adult my sympathy is lost. Sure kids do stupid shit, but the dude was an adult when he was perfectly fine murdering some random women’s baby until he found out it was lily’s.
"I'm tired of seeing female characters being hated on for 'getting in the way of a ship'. Lily Evans, this is for you—"
Genuinely curious, what ghosts are y'all fighting? I have never, not once, seen Lily get hated on for any reason, much less for getting in the way of jegulus for example, contrary to what some of you accuse us jegulus shippers of doing?
In what fandom spaces are y'all in?
Like, I understand that this might actually be done, but it is not happening to the degree some of y'all are acting like it is.
I can confidently say I would know otherwise, I've been balls deep in this fandom for a long time.
And it's an issue I consistently see in many other fandoms as well.
Like, no one is hating on Utahime bro, trust 🙏
The only character I could get behind is Uraraka, but again, I see so many more people criticize bkdk shippers for hating on her than I've ever seen actual bkdk shippers hate on her. Frankly, I've seen maybe one or two instances of my girl Uraraka being bashed.
And I find it simultaneously fascinating and irritating. I'm one hundred percent sure that the majority of people complaining about a female character getting unfairly hated for "ruining a ship" just start complaining about it without ever seeing it for themselves.
btw dating sucks as a concept.
