Marauders Stans On Tiktok - Tumblr Posts

YESSS!!!

I finally had enough with all these marauders stans on TikTok.

Like they either haven't read the books and just use head canons and fanfictions as arguments, or they have read the books and simply ignore/downplay or even glorify the horrible things the marauders did. And if that isn't enough, they just say “but Snape was a bully too” or “but Snape was worse”. Firstly I don't think he was worse (but that's a discussion for another time) but even if you think so, how is Snape being worse than James making him good? Like just because the Dursleys are less evil than Voldemort because they didn't try to kill Harry, they are now heroes or what? I don't get their logic. And what makes their behaviour even worse is that you don't even have to post about James, you don't even need to mention him anywhere as long as the post is about Snape they will come at you.

I will now simply block them if they comment on my posts because nothing else seems to work. And I think that if they can't see the horrors of SWM on their own, there is no way I can help them.

No, literally! I had a similar experience with you as well. I talked about him with my friend group and (not) surprisingly, they were Wolfstar and Jegulus stans who red Crimson Rivers and ATYD. I had to defend myself when they called me a "Snivellus stan" and it's really embarrassing how these are 19 year olds who freshly just graduated from HS, say this.

This happened just three weeks ago and I'll say this, I'm very disappointed that people defend 4v1 and bullying. Fanfics tend to change Severus's whole personality into a pure-blood jerk who struts down the hallways and embarrassingly, is their "sunshine" James Potter.

I really wish that one day, even if they don't ship my ships, that they'll at least keep Severus's canon relationships with the Snape Gang and not turn them into Slytherin Skittles if they do not.

This is embarassing because once, I encountered a Jegulus and Wolfstar AO3 fanfic (approximately two to three years ago) where they (Marauders and Skytherin Skittles, who included the whole Severus's Gang) has planned the prank on Severus being he was apparently being homophobic to Regulus.

This is quite funny because Severus gives bi-coded with the Lily and Mulciber thing whereas Regulus is probably homophobic since the family traditions and it's the literal 70s. (Let's be real, they would be both homophobic but Severus wouldn't care if Lily was bisexual whereas Regulus would probably be disgusted if Evan opened up to him, lol.)

Back to the topic, I believe the girl in my friend group said with the lines of:

"At least Regulus didn't bully children!"

Hypocritical because, she literally has Minerva pictures all over her room.

Thank you for reading my small little rant about my stupid classmates who took Criminal Justice as a major. :D

people who like snape: I haven’t read the books but I love the films. snape is pretty cool I guess

people who love snape: here is my 5,000-word essay analysing snape’s childhood based on these three sentences from the books, and here is my 10,000-word dissertation on why snape smells like cinnamon based on fuck you that’s why he smells like cinnamon

people who hate snape: actually, if you read all the young dudes —

Sorry in advance, I'm going to rant here a bit.

Why do 80% of Snaters have to bring his looks into the discussion? Like, the way he looks has nothing to do with his character! I just saw another post calling him a "disgusting, oily, ugly man" in their rant on how he is an evil person, like... I look, apart from being a woman, exactly like him. Like, I 100% match the book description. Crooked teeth, shoulder long hair that gets greasy way to quickly, big, hooked nose, dark eyes, too skinny, walks in a "gliding" way: that's me! Why do the marauders fans have to do this?! Don't they realize that there are people, who will look like the charakter they hate on? This fucking fandom made me so insecure about my nose, that I am considering an operation at 19 years old! I just cried for half an hour after seeing jet another post about how ugly Snape is and no wonder he never found love! It just causes so much pain. If they want to hate on Snape's character, fine by me! But why can't they leave the way he looks out of it? Why?

Sorry for freaking out here, but you are one of the few pro Snape accounts one can write to anonymously and I don't want them to be able to figure out who I am. Thank you for reading this messy thing i wrote, it just needed to be said.

I must offer my deepest, sincerest apologies for posts you’ve seen. Alas, Marauder Stans possess a troubling insensitivity and thoughtless disregard for the nuances of character and narrative. In Sev V. S Marauders arguments, when they find themselves cornered without a coherent defense for their beloved quartet, rather than talk about the substantive truths about Sev, they instead throw callous, almost vulgar fixations on his appearance.

Marauder Stans, as fervent as they may be, are often proved problematic. Their disdain for Sev runs so deep that they not only dismiss his importance and erase him from his own circle but also stoop so low to attacking his appearance and ridiculing his poverty.

Marauder Stans seem to revel in disparaging Sev, often going out of their way to strip him of any redeeming qualities. It's that they take pleasure in rewriting his narrative, erasing his virtues and amplifying his flaws, making a one-dimensional caricature that serves their biases. It's a weird thing, revealing more about their own prejudices than about Sev himself.

Your appearance is a distinctive and beautiful part of who you are, but it does not, in any way, define your value or your capacity to be loved and cherished. Those who resort to attacking someone’s looks often do so because it’s the quickest, most mindless way to inflict pain. It says more about their own insecurities than it does about you. You deserve to be appreciated for the incredible person you are, far beyond the surface.

Please remember that you are so much more than any fictional character, you have your own unique story, rich with experiences and emotions that are entirely your own. Here, you are loved and valued for who you are, regardless of how you look or the way you express your personality.

You can always try to block every Marauders Stan who spews negativity about Severus’s appearance. Hypocrisy is those are often the same people who accuse him of bullying, completely oblivious to the irony of their own actions. They fail to recognize that by mocking an 11-year-old who grew up in the grip of poverty and isolation, they are perpetuating the very behavior they 'condemn'.

Have a pleasant day! (Apologies, I'm bad at comfort. And in summary, they hate Severus's character by itself and it's appearance and NOT because he bullied kids, and people like spewing insults at Severus because he is conventionally unattractive, unlike Potter and Black.)
