All Marauders fans are essentially Harry Potter fans by default, but not all Harry Potter fans are Marauders fans. The Marauders fandom is a sub-fandom of Harry Potter.

While yes, they’re two different fandoms, they all still fall under one name, one franchise, and it is all still created by the same person. There is no way to separate that. It quite literally follows a group of teens who play a significant role in the main protagonist's (Harry’s) life. It consists of James Potter (Harry’s father), Sirius Black (Harry’s godfather), Remus Lupin (Harry’s professor and the man who made him the godfather of his son), and Peter Pettigrew (Harry’s best friend’s rat and the man who got the Potters killed). Plus, Lily Evans (Harry’s mother), Severus Snape (Harry’s other professor), Dumbledore, and Voldemort. 

You may not consider yourself a Harry Potter fan, but from an outsider's point of view, that’s precisely what you are. The Marauders fandom is simply you all exploring the timeline before Harry; it is still within the already established world of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter created by J.K. Rowling. You all are still very much enjoying her work and are showing that by expanding and adding new material to it.

If the only way you can fathom liking female characters is by pretending they've done nothing wrong ever, then you don't actually like the female characters at all.

You can like Fleur, but you can't pretend that Molly and Ginny, who experienced immense socioeconomic prejudice and were repeatedly criticized for being poor, had no reason to dislike her, despite Fleur making a point to label every difference between her lavish life and their backwards living.

This does not discredit the effort Fleur took to redeem herself. It also does not ignore how unforgiving they were of Fleur and how quickly they made assumptions. There's a happy medium 👍

I literally agree with every single one of your opinions and then remember you unironically ship Luna and Harry 😓

Harry NEEDS a fucking weirdo. He needs someone who will break him out of his self sacrificing daze long enough to go "what the fuck?" before he realizes it was just Luna. He needs someone who can remind him that magic used to be fun and still can be !!!!

"yess but platonic 💕" I'm at your house.

Bellatrix is an interesting villainess, but she is not a misunderstood female character.

I don’t think James fans realize how obnoxious they can be, or just are, and I say this as a James Potter stan/lover. Like, I love James very much, but (some of) his fans? Oh boy. 

They claim they want to hate Snape in peace, without Snape fans or apologists trying to defend him or attacking them. Yet they’re the main ones under every positive Snape video going on and on about “stan Bambi” or “anyways, stan James Potter,” they’ll literally even tag their anti-Snape content incorrectly just so his fans will see it, and it’s not only the most embarrassing thing to do or see, but it’s all so childish that you can’t help but roll your eyes at them. 

Personally, I’ve never actually seen any Snape fans under James videos doing what they do, but I won’t deny or disregard it just because I haven’t seen it. Maybe they do it too, but it’s definitely not as much as James fans do it to them (or from what I’ve seen, at least). And I don’t know if they understand, but James is a fairly popular character; he’s a fan favorite in the fandom (Marauders or just HP in general). So when said fans send in hate, it comes in massive waves. You’ll have James fan after James fan swarming the comments, spreading this negativity and hate, completely belittling these people. It makes them uncomfortable, feel less than, and afraid to express themselves (in a fandom that claims to be free to express oneself, to like whichever character(s) you want, to ship and let ship, and not follow canon, mind you), and it’s all just distasteful. That behavior is completely disgusting. 

You have every right to hate Snape (or whatever other character(s) you want) and to express that hatred on your own account. What you do not do, though, is attack his fans unprovoked (especially if you like other Death Eaters, because then you just come off as not so bright…and hypocritical).
