the marauders fandom is the PERFECT exemple of performative activism.
yall make such a strong point about sexuality thinking it’s doing something while completely erasing the characters personality.
i don’t CARE that regulus black is gay in your eyes what matters is that HE WAS A PUREBLOOD SUPREMACIST. you use sexuality as a shield in a way that’s so counterproductive.
the point of all of this was to make barely existent characters deeper and more complex but it went off to make everyone dumbed down stereotypical version of barely themselves.
we all hate jkr right? but some of you go around erasing the only political aspect of the books for the sake of your little fetishized gay twink story.
you think you are so different from the rest of hp fans because you make characters gay but you ignore the racial and gender stereotypes aspects of everything. as a woman and a NON WHITE woman hearing people talking about their favourite ships and characters is WILD.
all of you put such an importance on being respectful to peoples opinions but only when it comes to sexuality. the moment someone criticizes your love for canonically racist little assholes that did so much damage instead of deepening characters that ARE CANONICALLY WHAT YOU MAKE FANON INTO you freak out and call them names.
the fight for the LGBTQ+ community is not singular. it goes hand in hand with many other fights like for racial equality and gender equality.
before you comment “ LeT pEOplE liVe” or “ In My HeadCaNonS theYre nOT liKE THAT” i don’t care about the me.me.me speech
i care about what you make popular. what had taken over the fandom and what is being seen by the younger audience that you make seem as normal
