I mean, yes, it would be totally problematic if maradeurs fans started saying that a black character "deserved" being assaulted by a group of people, while his aggressor admits he's doing it "because he exists". But... that's also bad if it's done to a white character. You don't get a free pass to bully people because the victim is a white boy. It's not progressive to say you're okay with bullying if it's agaisnt the right people. It's crazy that we need to explain this.

Exactly, and that’s where their double standards come in.

Are you only now afraid that victim-blaming might make you look like a shitty person? Has it seriously never embarrassed you before this moment to defend the systematic abuse of a person in a position of inferiority at the hands of rich, aristocratic kids abusing their power?

Is the only scenario in which you find it reprehensible for someone to publicly strip another person because their best friend is bored and they feel like bullying them “for existing” when there’s a racial aspect involved?

I don’t know what kind of ethical system these people have, but honestly, the problem isn’t that their favorite characters might end up looking like a bunch of abusive pricks—it’s that they already are.

no idea how the heck Tumblr works but im moving in from Tiktok cause fandoms there aint shit

If you're a Snape fan, you've probably had that moment scrolling through some Marauders posts and thought: Did these fans even read the books? Or maybe you've come across those wild comments where Snape gets turned into some kind of full-on villain, while James and Sirius get treated like flawless, saint-like heroes.

It’s like they’re talking about a totally different Harry Potter series! Sometimes, you’ve gotta wonder—do they even know what really happened in the story? Are we even talking about the same James Potter here? And honestly, comments like this kind of answer that question:

A lot of Marauders fans (not all, but definitely some) have no clue what really went down with the Marauders and Snape, who they really were, or what role they actually played in the story.

They’re just here because, let’s be real, the Marauders fandom is super appealing. It’s full of people their age, with tons of fantasy, drama, epic fanfics, hot character fan-casts, tragic love stories, and endless TikTok edits, roleplays, and cosplays. It’s fun, it’s exciting, and it makes you feel like you belong to something special.

With all this awesome fan content, why would anyone go out of their way to actually read the books and face the not-so-glamorous truth? The Marauders in the books are mostly about petty fights, bullying, and not much in the way of exciting, romantic storylines.

And that’s exactly why the hate for Snape has gotten so intense. Snape doesn’t fit the dreamy, tragic aesthetic they’re looking for. He’s basically just there to be the “bad guy,” so they have someone to hate and blame everything on. That way, their perfect heroes get to stay flawless, and Snape can just be the villain in their headcanon.

I have a more comprehensive post here about the (rebranding of the Marauders and, consequently, the need to villainize Snape)

Being a girl is: wanting to go to bed early but deciding to just get on tumblr/wattpad/Ao3 for a little bit and then end up finding a fic series that you really like and read until well past your usual bedtime then keeping on because it’s already past your bedtime. Then being mad when you wake up in the morning because you overslept your timer.
