I Think The Reason Why People Would Be Pro-draco But Anti-snape Is For A Few Reasons.

I think the reason why people would be pro-draco but anti-snape is for a few reasons.

Raising your own kid to be hateful and bigoted can be considered it's own form of abuse(something similar happened to Dudley. The point where this stops being abuse is when they're old enough/have the opportunity to gain perspective. Draco, Dudley, and Severus all get that change in perspective)

Reader's/watcher's can more clearly tell the driving force behind Draco's words and actions because it gets brought up all the time(up until book 5, reader's don't get anything except hindsight for Severus' story)

While Severus did change sides and redeem himself, he was a dick to most of his students and made it very clear that fairness wasn't a high priority(I understand that this was to uphold his reputation so he could continue to be a spy, and to try and counteract the Slytherin bias, but 2 wrongs still don't make a right or brownie points

TL;DR: Raising a kid to be a bigot is abuse, let's not play into trauma olympics. Severus' abuse and trauma didn't get enough page time Severus continued to be a dick post-redemption. Draco had his redemption at the tail-end of the series and didn't get time to continue being an ass or not

Do the “Draco was just a boy, Snape was an adult!” crowd realize that Severus is significantly younger in the books? Severus was only 20-21 when he turncoaked The Deatheaters and become a spy, the brain doesn’t develop impulse control and non-b&w thinking until 25 at the absolute earliest and prolonged trauma (which Severus had and Draco didn’t) physically damages the brain, slowing that process down.

Severus was groomed as a teenager (about the same age as Draco was) into a rising cult by an, at the time, charismatic young Tom Riddle who was at his height of manipulation and power. And Severus was canonically abused by a muggle man and by Gryffindors mercilessly his whole developing years. That crowd incessantly fanons that Draco was “abused” by his parents when he wasn’t but hate Severus like make it make sense.

Imho the idea of ‘cruelty free’ products or food shouldn’t mean that nothing died to create it, but rather that anything and anyone involved in the creation process hasn’t been exploited or harmed.

Leather is good actually. Veganism isn’t the end all be all to morality and consumption. The issue isn’t that a chicken died for those nuggets, but that while the chicken was alive, it’s life fucking sucked. Vegan chocolate means little if the cocoa that made it was gathered by child slave labor.

Factory farms, abuses of the people who pick the fruit and vegetables we eat, the focus profit and productivity over all else - that’s the fucking issue here. It’s capitalism folks.

Hate to be that person, but WW3 trend on TikTok is not funny at all, especially your stupid POVs. Because no, Jessica from Chicago, you won’t have to hide in the basement to avoid being nuked and no, Kyle from LA, you won’t get drafted to the front lines. 

You again missed the whole point and managed to make this situation all about yourself, so I’m going to assure your stupid ass - this war is not going to affect you in any way, but you know who it’s going to affect? Actual people from Ukraine, who are going to lose their lives and be displaced from their homes, just like for the past 8 years. 

So congratulations on your stupidity, because it’s not about “I need a way to cope 🥺🥺🥺”, it’s about you celebrating and making fun of other people’s death.

Okay i’m curious bc my parents were relatively young having me but idk what age difference is “normal” between parents and kids as i’ve met people with plenty of variations. so if you want, reblog this and tag (don’t comment) how old your parents were when they had you. my mom was 25 and my dad was 21.

thinking about that time I was at some kind of diversity and inclusion thing that involved discussion in small groups and one straight girl said she really wanted to be a good ally but sometimes there were some things she just didn’t know and was too afraid to ask for fear of accidentally being offensive. and as the only queer person in this 4-5 person group I said well go ahead and ask me, I don’t care if you accidentally use the wrong term right now or whatever, it’s better to talk about it and learn something, I love talking about queerness and I’ll answer the best I can. and she just looked so nervous and in the end wound up refusing to ask for fear of causing offense. and it wasn’t just the group setting, I’ve known straight people to act similarly even when it’s just one on one

and just. you guys. this is what purity culture and the “if you don’t know something you were never a real ally in fact you’re a bigot in fact you’re worse than bigots because you pretended not to be one” attitude does. how can our allies be allies if they’re scared to talk to us? to ask questions, to make mistakes, to learn? can we please bring back the idea of “in good faith”? there’s way more to say here about identity politics and virtue signaling and acting like language is more important than action but I’m too tired for that right now

please feel free to add to the discussion (regardless of if you’re queer or not), I would love to hear about people’s experiences with this and if others feel differently about it
