#i mean hating on snape like this is clasist as fuck

[maxdibert]

The fact that you label the only character who was literally marginalized and mocked for not conforming to the hegemonic masculinity of the time as a homophobe is laughable. You pinkwash a group of privileged rich kids who performed hegemonic masculinity and turn the one who is clearly described with feminine traits into a homophobe. JK Rowling would be proud of you.

It’s funny how you present yourselves as super progressive, anti-transphobia, anti-body shaming, and ultra pro-PoC, but when push comes to shove, you take the least masculine guy in the story and turn him into a homophobe. You take the guy everyone mocked for his physical appearance and bullied for not fitting beauty standards, villainize him, and keep laughing at those physical traits. And then you take the only one whose features didn’t fully align with British whiteness and make him a racist. I don’t know if it’s cognitive dissonance or just a need to validate your kink for pretty privilege and fashionable classism, but the level of hypocrisy, double standards, and utter lack of understanding of the social issues you supposedly defend is remarkable.

Like, imagine thinking you’re a social justice warrior when your fandom has decided to single out the only working-class character, without social or economic support, who doesn’t conform to the masculine norms of his time and is discriminated against for not being "man enough," for not fitting beauty standards, and for having a nonconforming appearance—and you mock him as if that’s some sort of super radical reclamation. Honestly, I really hope these people are 13 years old, because if they’re adults, we’re doomed.
