I'm always scared about the Lily thread, the James thread, the Marauders thread, the Harry thread and the Dumbledore thread. But the Lily thread is the one I am most scared of. The thing is the Snape fans have to blame someone else for Snape's actions. He can never be held to account for anything. If he sneezed and didn't have a hankerchief it would be Lily's fault because she did not support him in his hour of need. Lily is not entitled to have needs of her own.
It really is a lot of lack of reading comprehension. I know the threads are all about respecting opinions, but I wish we could call people out on it. What's the point of a character analysis thread if people are gonna ignore the text? I hate to see what would happen if we had people like this in my theater classes.
The James and Marauders thread do get a lot of crap from the same people. With Lily there's still that level of misogyny that I can't help but think is there. It's always going to look off when someone claims a woman should have put aside her own feelings/ is demonized, and excuses are made for the man who "needs" her.
