Stop Being Haters - Tumblr Posts

7 months ago

~ Okay, before I start this, I will first like to say that Iā€™m not hating on anyone. This is all fiction; you can like, stan, or hate whatever characters or ships you want. Iā€™m just here to have fun and get away from my real-life issues, honestly. This post was only to talk about the hypocrisy in the Marauders fandom. So I really hope no one gets offended by this because that was not my intention and that never is, and I do apologize if it comes off as such. ~

So awhile back, I saw a TikTok of some girl saying how she never meant to start a war she just told a Snape stan that he was originally a death eater. And I was all like, ā€œYeah, okay facts, he is/was," but then I read her comments and realized that she was one ofĀ thoseĀ Snape haters. You know, the hypocritical and delusional ones. Where they hate on Snape and the people that like him (which, hating Snape is fine. You donā€™t have to like him. Itā€™s only an issue when you bully people that do like him and make them feel bad for it), but then go on and stan Barty, Regulus, and ever other death eater in that little cult.Ā 

She was literally saying how Regulus, Barty, and Evan are different from Snape. And I mean, yes, theyā€™re all different, but theyā€™reĀ allĀ still bad people and death eaters. Then she goes on to talk about how theyā€™re different from Snape because ā€œat least they didnā€™t bully and abuse kidsā€ (which they literally did, especially Barty. As stated in the books and shown in the movies. The DEā€™s were actively hunting these kids down and literally torturing people ā€˜i.e. Bellatrix and Barty torturing the Longbottoms to insanityā€™), ā€œThereā€™s not a lot of information on themā€, and ā€œtheyā€™re baby girlsā€.Ā 

Then she goes on to say that ā€œalthough Barty was a DE, he was clever and loyal, unlike Snape, who is a whimp"ā€¦..Huh? You donā€™t like the fact that Snape wasnā€™t loyal to Voldemort? So do you actuallyĀ likeĀ what the DE's and Voldy stand for? Iā€™m a little confused on that one.Ā 

And someone commented that Barty did in fact abuse kids, as he was literally trying to kill Harry. And she goes on to say that itā€™s not abusing children and that Barty didnā€™t evenĀ wantĀ to do it; he was simply doing what Voldy told him to do. Like, what?? Just what? Barty is literally aĀ proudĀ DE (and she said it herself that he is loyal to Voldemort), so if his precious ā€œmasterā€ tells him to do something, heā€™s going toĀ wantĀ to do it, and heā€™s going to do it happily. No hesitation, no remorse. If Voldemort wants it, then he wants it. Voldy tells Barty to go kidnap, kill, or abuse some kids, then heā€™ll do it. Whatever, just to please him.

Then she acknowledges that he tortured the Longbottoms, but then goes on and says, ā€œBut are they children? No.ā€ As if that makes it any better!? He was still torturing and abusing people. He isĀ NOTĀ a good guyĀ šŸ˜­

I just really donā€™t understand why they can like all these awful (and I mean awful as in they did terrible things) death eater characters and get praised, and others nod their heads along with them, but the second someone shows the slightest interest in Snape, itā€™s as if someone killed their pet or their parents. It's like the biggest insult to their name or something. As if those other DEā€™s are notĀ worseĀ than Snape. They say ā€œwe donā€™t follow canon,ā€ and yet they keep Snape canon or they make him wayyyy worse, like homophobic or a rapist or theyā€™ll give his backstory/upbringing to other DE characters to make them more angsty and sad.

(ALSO, another point is the whole pretty privilege thing that goes on in the fandom, that they donā€™t like to admit is a thing, but it definitely is).
