#had to recreate a new post because “snope” sounded too good

[ottogatto]

This is really disconcerting as I have rarely seen this in my experience as a Snape fan and have always treated it as an exception thus far, but it's also good news, isn't it? There still are snape haters, perhaps more so than before, but on tumblr, they have adhered to the tagging etiquette, from what I (and my mutuals) have seen. Yes, there are some hate posts here and there, but it's Tumblr's algorithm being a bitch, not the users' fault, and as far as I am concerned, by adhering to tagging etiquette, they want to avoid drama and respect Snape fans' preferences/zone. So it's all good!

In that case, we may start to encounter "nice snape haters" in greater numbers: people who may agree they are not being very fair when it regards him, people who say it's true they rather follow marauder fandom than hp canon, and aren't here to villify Snape or shame Snape fans -- they just don't vibe with him, respecting tagging etiquette to avoid causing drama or triggering people.

"Nice snape haters" is totally weird, and based on how I described them above, the term "hater" doesn't really fit. "Anti" sure doesn't; "hater" has too much of a negative bagage to qualify them. Not Snape-critical either because they aren't always here to talk canon; plus you can be critical AND a fan of Snape. I thus wanted to use another name for them, but I don't know which one.

(I'm not saying we will encounter lots of them, but we may, and it's time we give them a proper name to distinguish them from the snape haters we encountered so far, isn't it?)
