You're making up word salads at this point. atleast she had enough grace and dignity to state again and again throughout the thread that she does not think James is a saint, that his actions were immoral and counted as bullying, that he is to be condemned for what he did, while also defending him. She isn't entirely wrong. SA needs sexually and physically fuelled intentions to act as a catalyst. James did not have the former intentions. It was humiliation, yes, but not exactly SA.

when you were facing arguments that challenged Snape as a character, and very valid arguments must I add as a Snape fan myself, that he indeed was an extremist, he was just as much of a bully, he remained part of an association Lily disliked, you never took any of those into account, nor did you have it in you to accept his flaws the way she accepted James's. The very reason why we are supposed to like Snape is because of his redemption. If you take away the reasons, the deeds for which the redemption got space to happen, what is left there ?

Look, I am just a woman in my thirties, I treat this space as a silly hobby. You won't get anything by berating me. I've known, seen, observed enough people in both work and personal life to know who is the more mature and secure one in a conflict. I'm not accusing you of anything, I'm asking you to open up your mind a little bit and see for yourself.

False and please learn about those kind of things because a lot of you are VERY wrong:

Why does he really do it? The guy realizes he got himself into a shady terrorist cult, decides to work for the good guys, and dedicates his whole life to it. Fine, who is denying that? What I explain is why I think Snape cannot be compared to other characters when analyzing the severity of the decisions he made, because there is an entire material structure that led him to become fodder for a group like the Death Eaters.

Does that excuse his actions? No. But it’s absurd to compare him to James in this regard, given the social and economic contexts of both characters. Denying the material reality of a person and how capital as a social agent is a primary influence on their path and decision-making is not only a biased perspective but also a socially blind view of class issues.

Did Snape make good decisions in his life? No. Can we equate him to other Death Eaters who came from socially privileged backgrounds and had both social and economic capital? No. Can you outright say that James changed and Snape didn’t, as if that proves something? Also no. Because what we should be asking is not whether James changed or not, but why he, having everything—being a rich kid with an aristocratic background, raised by a supposedly progressive family that loved him and instilled values—chose, in the first place, to be an asshole.

It’s easy to change when you have everything lined up for you to go down the right path, but it’s much harder to find the right path when you are constantly being thrown obstacles. My issue with James isn’t that I think he didn’t take the right path in the end—it’s that I don’t understand what his excuse was for being a jerk. At least Draco or Dudley had the reason that their parents taught them to be awful people. At least Sirius had the excuse of being raised among sociopaths who encouraged and justified sadism. What’s James’ excuse? What in his social environment led him to be a piece of shit?

Oh, and well, I am not an especially mature person—that’s something I’ve admitted and said many times. But being more or less mature doesn’t mean you have more or less truth. Truth is upheld by arguments based on facts, and I don’t see any of my facts being refuted. All I see is blind flailing and mental gymnastics to keep doing victim-blaming and favoring the hegemonic rhetoric of the establishment.

If you're hung up on what party he affiliates with, what religion he is, what his views on lgbtq+ issues are, etc/whatever then you're being tricked by the media lenses that are trying to keep us divided.

i think villains in general provide better, more epic romances because they're allowed to go to extremes. they're allowed to put their love over the greater good. they're allowed to be selfish. the best a hero can offer you is number two, because their duty comes first. villains, though. villains will burn down the world for a last kiss goodbye.
