5am Rant - Tumblr Posts

It’s crazy to me how hated pansy parkinson is by some fans, which to preface this I’m yet to read the books, but as far as I know all she did wrong was have a crush on Draco and after being told that Voldemort was gonna kill everyone until he got harry, questioned why they weren’t going to trade harry over then. Which yeah I can understand as a reader you’re not going to like it when the life of a character you’re made to root for is debated against, but like she really wasn’t in the wrong for that when you look at her perspective 😭😭 like she was uninformed!!! And scared!!!! All she knew was that supposedly harry had survived the killing curse as an infant. And to her knowledge the hope that he’d survive it again (when him originally surviving it was already a debated topic) was all that they were riding off to win this war, she didn’t know about the horacruxes or the prophecy.

Like idk I feel like I should just expect misogyny from this fandom at this point bc there’s soooo many other characters that could replace pansy in this rant (lavender and Ginny for example) who’ve done little to nothing!!!! But some ppl will go out of their way to give redemption arcs to fucking snape, Draco, even Tom riddle???? Like make it make sense!!!

Give my girl pansy her redemption.
