I don't think we as a fandom talk enough about how most Weasley-bashing stems from internalized anti-ginger sentiments and how horrific it is that something very harmful is just brushed under the rug cuz it's not "as important" as other forms of bigotry.

#Starling ramblings #Harry Potter #HP fandom #Weasley family #Defend the Weasleys Squad #hello Harry Potter fandom; excuse me while I not so casually swing a bat at the hornet's nest #no joke Weasley bashing is more than just juvenile bullshit; it's toxic fandom behavior and high-key bigoted talk #an underlining irrational hatred of characters' actions while other character do the same (or WORSE) but only the gingers get the blame?#hmmm. HMMMMMM.#I am so fucking sick of Anti This and Anti That #blah blah blah doesn't matter which character it's for or which ship #it's all the same horseshit and often has internalized bigotry #(the most commonplace is misogyny - see Every Teenage Girl Character Ever - but obviously racism and such is a factor)#also sidenote: I ship Harmony and I absolutely HATE that I have to slog my way through Bashing or borderline wannabe Bashing fics #I'm okay with conflict and criticism!! but y'all take it WAY too far
