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.

I really do hate the idea that Aang was having kids JUST to repopulate the air nomads. The idea that Tenzin was a third time’s the charm situation, that Aang kept “trying” for an airbender and was disappointed with Kya and Bumi

I honest to god think Aang was not thinking “I hope this kid’s an airbender!” Each time. I don’t think the thought would even cross his mind until someone else suggested it. He’d be typed up thinking about how he’ll balance his new child in his life, Katara’s health, how to even be a father having no parents himself. All of those take priority in his mind

I honestly think Aang would be super appalled by the suggestion that “repopulating” was his goal with his family. What it says how about he thinks of his wife.

If anyone is going to have the thought “I hope it’s an airbender” I’d bet it was Katara. It’s still not why. But she knows and loves Aang and has seen how hard he’s struggled without the airbenders, how lonely he’s gotten, I could see Katara having the thought “For Aang’s sake I hope you’re an airbender” before Aang ever thinks “I hope you’re an airbender”

I don’t know man. This idea is just so gross to me, and I hate how it’s thrown around by the fans like it must be the case, with no room for questions, why ELSE would Aang be having kids?

Rubs me the wrong way. Really does

You're laughing but if Ron had the option to get pregnant and carry his and Hermione's babies like a male seahorse he would.

Monster 2023 (movie)

We follow three main point of view of the story in the movie. People ask for Yori's pov, but i don't think we can't have his pov, that's why :

The movie starts with the mother's pov then it switches to the teacher's pov because he is the monster in her story in her pov, for Mr. Hori the monster is Minato (in his pov he thinks the young boy is a bully) then the story switch to Minato's pov. I think the monster in Minato's pov is himself. The Point of view switches to the monster in the other story. (idk if it's understandable but i wanted to talk about it)

Yori isn't a monster in anyone pov. So with how the story is build we can't have his pov.

(+ we have a glimpse of the headmistress' pov after the mother and the teacher's one, she is kinda their monster too in a way.)

Gotta love the implication from the marauders fans - if you're an ugly, white, poor kid - you deserve the many crimes committed against you. But if you are an ugly, black, poor kid - wait, that will make my faves look bad. My faves are saints because their victim is ugly and not part of a minority.

They're like Lily, laughing at someone who's being abused because the abusers are ~handsome~

Well, at the end of the day, these are people who engage in victim blaming, support and excuse bullying, and minimize sexual offenses—so it’s not like we can expect much from them in terms of moral consistency or ethical coherence. The real issue isn’t that they think it’s acceptable to abuse a white child; it’s that they know they can justify it because no one will call them out the way they would if the child were a POC. The latter is visually more striking, carries far more controversial implications, and forces an uncomfortable conversation they don’t want to have.

The problem with these people is that they refuse to confront their own cognitive dissonance and the narrative of victim-blaming and perpetrator-exoneration that they’ve upheld for so long. They know that the moment the severity of the bullying Severus endured is laid out in a way that can’t be denied—because it will be too visually explicit to ignore—they won’t have anywhere to hide. And honestly? I find that wonderful in one way, but on the other hand, it’s pretty sad that this isn’t about genuine political awareness for them but rather a purely materialistic concern over their own image within the fandom.

I know it’s cannon that Snape has/had an accent when he was younger because of where he grew up but I don’t see enough people talking about it and I like to headcannon that it’s a bit stronger/more obscure than it actually is.

Snape didn’t go to a private school when he was younger like Lily did, so he never knew how to speak “proper English”, therefore Lily has to translate him to others.

It’s the first indicator that he’s not a pureblood to the other slytherins, they make it their life goals to repeat words he “mispronounces”

Lupin can understand him clearly because he traveled so much he knows a bit of everything. He even says a few things the same as him.

Potter tried to make fun of his accent exactly once and was very quickly put in his place by Lily who reminded him she talks the same when she’s comfortable around people which he reply’s “that’s not true you don’t talk like that around me” which just just says exactly and moves on.

Snape is forced to learn “proper English” by Malfoy/Regulus/Mulciber. He hates it and purposefully disobeys them during “class” but out in public he does try to talk like them.

When he’s older he perfectly trained himself to speak proper, however anytime he’s even slightly upset it comes out full force.

Nearly every every order meeting has him slipping back to his accent. Lupin likes to pretend it’s because he’s finally learning to trust people.

"Huntlow is canon!" Okay but here's the thing: I know that and you know that and Willow knows that but does Hunter know that?!

My boy is giving off the vibes of someone who would sincerely ask, "Wait, you had a crush on me?" to the witch to whom he is married.

Another thing that probably dismantles the whole "Snape is abusive" argument, or rather the hypocrisy behind it.

Filch.

That man insults the children far, far more than Snape does, and constantly threatens physical punishment (and apparently only stopped by Dumbledore very recently).

And even he's not treated as abusive by the narrative, just nasty and unpleasant (and a little ridiculous in his extremity).

If people care so much about the children being abused, they should focus on Filch. Yet nobody ever brings him up in those conversations, because it's not about discussing what's qualified as abuse to the wizarding world (as Filch isn't considered abusive, while Umbridge is, even though he sucked up to her too he's not nearly as hated by the fandom nor by the students iirc), it's literally just people choosing to bash on Severus Snape (and god knows why they have so much hatrid for him)
