Specific things that piss me off recently :B

1. Pokemon mystery packs

Kind of self explanatory, pokemon packs are already gambling, why put another gambling factor into that? If you're already losing money, why would you want to lose more?? Also Scalpers & Adults that trash cards/ buy away from kids. Like bro, you don't need EVERY pack in the store. Leave some for kids. And if you don't, because you are a serious collector, at least give the cards you don't need to some kids man, wtf

2. Rey Skywalker debate

Why are we still doing this?? If you don't get why she chose to call herself Skywalker you should be forced to take media literacy classes and rewatch it until you get it

3. JKR

Stop purchasing new products or consuming the media. Just buy shit 2nd hand and pirate everything else. You can continue to like HP, but istg that isn't an excuse to support people like her

4. Politics

Don't even need to explain this lmao

5. Trans debate

Same as 4 tbh. Coming after trans women about which toilets they should use and sports. But not once you think about a passing trans man, maybe a full beard, complete bear or hunk, walking into the women's room/ playing in women's sports.

James Potter can be a poc but Snape can't? Wtf

Someone explain?!

All that poc James fanart is being celebrated but the moment Snape is a poc it's a problem because "James/x will just look racist"

Please help me afford my medical cost!

Hi! This is my PayPal link to collect money for surgery. The second text is an English version but I'll tell you about it here as well.

I'm 20yo and from Germany. And I'm trans, ftm. I outed myself when I was 13 but never got support from my family. Since I was 13 any trans related bills I've had to pay myself (binders, tape, etc). I was even able to change my name and gender marker this year! But I'm nowhere near where I should be with my transition.

Sadly, I'm autistic. But I'm still working while going to uni and having an apprenticeship, trying to save up for it. Which is not going well as you can see.

Don't feel pressured to donate anything! Just sharing this would mean the world to me.

A chest surgery costs 7k at the clinic where I would want to get it, which is one of the cheapest. But it doesn't cover everything so the goal is the basic costs. Just a single euro would help!

Thank you so much for reading and sharing!

HP Fans stfu already pls tyyy

I left the fandom some time ago but have gotten more and more posts in my feed recently. And I'm completely confused about how we're still at the same place/ maybe even further behind than we were years ago.

I haven't read any HP FFs lately, not even ATYD (?) when it came out, but since then I've seen a hunger portion of the fandom be interested in the marauders era. Which is great imo!

But how come we're still doing the anti/pro Snape/James shit?

Is fandom culture dead?

Yes. In other fandoms and on social media I have noticed this as well but there is a reason why AO3 is a great FF platform! No censorship with a great tagging system, perfect for "don't like, don't read". There is a reason for that system. If something genuinely triggers you, you filter it out. If you don't want something specific in your fanfic, you filter it out. And if you don't, YOU CHECK THE TAGS before you read. This also goes for Tumblr and other platforms. Dead dove do not eat and don't like, don't read go hand in hand.

So: if you don't want to hear about what the other side has to say, just block the tag or scroll past it. Simple as that. As well as the other way around, if you say something, you tag it so people who don't want to see that can filter it out. If you post something anti Snape, and don't tag it as that, you don't get to complain about pro Snape ppl interacting. This also goes the other way.

You don't HAVE to interact with people whose opinion you don't share, this is the Internet, so stop complaining and just use the block feature.

Why is ANTI Snape worse than pro Snape?

Obviously being anti ANYTHING is not bad. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. This is my opinion about the anti *thing* tag with the example of anti Snape. This could also be about Anti James, etc.

People talking about characters they like, no matter for which reason, is great. Characters are never saints. Debating certain opinions about the character and the actions they did is important and fun. This also goes about why you don't like a character. But the most important part about this is being respectful while doing so.

Just posting about why a certain character is an asshole in your opinion is a part of fandom culture and has its place. Feel free to debate your opinions. But if you see someone posting "X/Y is my favorite character :3 and this is the reason:.." doesn't mean you should go ahead and comment "but weren't they X? So you're excusing Y behavior? Why would that be your favorite when they are obviously Z?" That is not the place for a debate. If you want one, ask for one. But don't use people's posts being happy about their favorite character to hate on them when they didn't ask for it.

Like I said, this is not just about "Snape is a death eater Nazi equivalent bully of kids", but also about "James (/*other marauder*) bullied and SA'ed Snape for no reason and harassed Lily for years", as well as other characters and fandoms!

What happened during the marauders era?

We have certain parts in the books and movies that indicate what has happened during that time and even more about what happened after. Both the books and the movies are canon. Having characters without certain knowledge about what happened/ how they were like when they were younger is great for HC's! This gives writers more freedom to write than having to make up their own complete story or when writing about characters that do exist and having to tag everything OOC or AU. You HAVE to expect things to be "OOC" when there are nearly no facts.

This is why Jegulus is so popular. Regulus is a watered down Snape in fanfictions imo, but that doesn't mean people shouldn't ship it. It just gives people more creative freedom while writing that 'Savior x victim, forbidden romance, redeemed and saved Slytherin' type, which I PERSONALLY prefer with Jeverus.

Neither Snape nor James were saints!

As already said in the two parts above, there is a constant debate about which character is bad and why. I like both Snape and James, so I won't advocate for either. But people need to realize these characters are both not great people. Simply because one person is worse doesn't mean the other was great. Just because I say that James was a bully to Snape without any reason (since Snape was not a death eater as a student) and he was a rich entitled brat for harassing Lily by not accepting her no, DOESN'T MEAN I don't also believe that Snape was an unfit teacher with his bullying to his students, shouldn't have called people slurs and shouldn't have stayed a death eater 'just to be a spy'. People speaking out about either side are not asking for your opinion or believe either of that behavior can be excused.

Every character is flawed. Even Lily, the rest of the marauders and just, well, everyone.

Getting personal is disgusting behavior and you deserve everything bad that happens to you!

I have seen people genuinely tell people that if they like Snape, they deserve to get bullied. People have also said that to James fans. Bullying is never okay and I hope you guys start thinking about what you're saying. So stfu.

Same with death threats. Are you guys actually that chronically online and disgusting that you wish people death, illnesses and a genuinely bad life for liking/ disliking FICTION CHARACTERS??

Another thing I have heard people say, is that Snape fans are Nazis. I am German. The right wing party AfD is more prominent than ever. They got promoted by Musk. And the so called political middle party (CDU/CSU) spoke about working with the AfD. It is never okay to call people Nazis for liking a certain character (except when the person tells you that they are against immigrants, women, the lgbtq community, aka minorities & vulnerable communities of any kind). Look at Germany, look at the USA, LOOK AT THE WORLD. Go after the real right wing disgusting pieces of shit and nazis. Stop watering down what Nazis were. How it started.

Words have meaning. Using them has consequences. The internet is not a punishment- and law-free area.

Remember: Don't support JKR!

And have a great day <3

trans men and transmascs do not deserve to be misgendered for any reason. don't let people do that you to. it's still transphobia no matter how much someone hates men. stop thinking about filming catty tiktoks and instagram reels and writing rude, exclusionist and violent text posts about how it's okay to misgender trans men to farm likes, engagement and comments on social media.

don't care if this rhetoric is popular right now. that doesn't make it right.
