Jane stans are literally the most unpleasant people I've had the misfortune to trip over on Tumblr. The sanctimony and double standards defy belief. Seriously, can they keep to a coherent thought process?

It's the strawman arguments for me.

#actually i find them more annoying on instagram but. lels #are there JS stans on tiktok?#i know there are mary i and c/oa stans and they're usually the same people so. mayhap #anon #it's particularly for me the double standard afforded in the benefit of the doubt #you can't argue that anne circa 1527 didn't know that if she and henry were successful that it would result #in the status of her predecessor and future stepdaughter being diminished #but what you can say is that it's unlikely she knew as a certainty then that it would result in their separation #for the rest of their lives...although once that happens there is no record of her having done or said anything against it #so then we go to the events of 1536 and it's that jane only believed it would result in an annulment and the same status change #but once she knew what it was actually going to result in? all we know of her is that she received news of the arrest #and then presumably asked to receive news of the condemnation and execution of her predecessor #she did not do or say dick about it .#'no one did or expressed doubts' well; cranmer did. it seems others that weren't in the lexicon of power persay did (much murmuring)#but yes; it's true that no one else did.#however jane was the direct beneficiary. that she did or said nothing against what was being done thus means more #just like it does with AB .#for all intents and purposes all we know is she accepted that equably.#&......#we're talking about trauma and humiliation versus trauma and humiliation and murder #the pretense of why is jane the least favorite... i don't believe they're that dumb #how is it that dislike of the latter is only emotional bias but dislike of the former is grounded simply in reason and morality ?#and then they expect us to believe them...?
