The Idea That Severus Is The Sexually Aggressive Creep In The Snape/Lily/James Love Triangle Comes Purely

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.

My friend showed me the Harry Potter movies so ofc I had to redesign Harry and Draco. I’m 2 decades late to the drarry party but I’m here now!!

au where Aang gets told he's the Avatar (and subsequently frozen) at 16 like he was supposed to.... I think it would change a lot honestly

doodle :’)

you’re my hero!

Just to be raw and honest here's a truth about Book Sirius and James , they were rich classist bastards the only reason they are seen as good people is because they are praised by EXTREMELY biased people who are telling an orphaned child about his parents. The book is from Harry's point of view, so as long as he is stating an opinion and not a visual fact , it is a biased opinion.

James Potter was Draco Malfoy of the marauders era , he was rich , he was perverted , he treated people lower than him like shit and yes he treated Lily like shit too. And no, the only people who said James matured up were the two most biased best friends of James Potter telling an orphan child about his father. The only difference between Draco and James is that the Potters were fighting alongside Dumbledore and raised a spoiled bastard brat . The Malfoy were fighting alongside Voldemort and raised a spoiled bastard brat.

Sirius black was canonically not a purist only because he hated his parents. He was raised in an abusive household where he was always jealous of his younger brother. There is no proof that Regulas ever did anything against him, and the only thing he ever stated was that Regulas was considered a much better son.

Sirius Black is repulsive and always took his anger out on random people hexing and torturing them.

No, there is no canon mention of a death eaters Slytherin gang that the marauders used to fight against only Sirius' very much biased words. The people Sirius does refer to are Lucius, Avery , Mulciber, and Snape mainly . Lucius is 5 years older than Snape and even though the age group of Avery and the rest are not mentioned, it is only canon that Lily mentions them as Slytherins, there is no canon gang possible given their age groups and even if there was, Snape has got to be the young boy they were grooming.

There is no mention of Snape ever attacking the marauders until after James molested him, and that is also a biased opinion about Snape fighting back to James and Sirius.

He may have been a very loyal friend to James, but literally, everyone, including Remus, was ready to believe he betrayed the Potters. Do you see the kind of reputation he had for everyone ?

Also, Sirius black tried to murder Snape using Remus as a murder weapon, and there's not a single person that ever mentions the fact that Sirius wanted the person he always tormented to be mauled by a werewolf and he chose his own friend to be the one comiting the murder.

sorry not sorry. i love their dynamic

sleepy gaang >>>> everyone else

this might be controversial...? but i don't think that snape being an adult when he bullied students is inherently worse than the marauders bullying him while they were teenagers based on their respective ages alone. and that is because the severity of their bullying is nowhere near comparable.

many people (me included) think that snapes worst teacher moment was when he indirectly insulted hermiones teeth. that was pretty fucking awful and can't be excused, especially because he was an adult and teacher. in general, all of his bullying was purely verbal, he never caused physical harm (on the contrary, he was surprisingly protective of all the students compared to most hogwarts teachers).

so obviously the marauders equivalent to this kind of bullying would have been if they stuck to just insulting snapes appearance and calling him snivellus. this is awful too, but not as bad as adult snape saying similar things to children. if this was all that happened, snape would indeed be a worse bully than them.

but the problem is that they didn't stick to 'just' verbal abuse. they went many steps further and almost got their victim killed. and as if that wasn't bad enough, they proceeded to sexually harrass him just for funsies later on. so, well, maybe it's just me, but i can't comprehend how being insulted by a teacher (hurtful) is apparently worse or even just comparable to almost dying and being SA'd by classmates (life long trauma right there). does it actually matter to the victim that the offenders were teenagers? i doubt it.

being a teenager shouldn't mean that you can just get away with shit like that or that it can't be extremely traumatic for the victim, just because they're minors.
