Meta: 'Debunking the Myth: Severus Snape is an incel', from Reddit
Quote from Dark Angel on May 29, 2023, 4:19 pmIs he a misogynist? Certainly not, he treats people of all genders equally badly
People are seriously accusing a kid of stalking? For real?!
Hypocrisy and double standards are main flaws of Snaters. They are ready to make excuses for characters like Sirius and James saying that they were teens but they demonize Snape's behaviour both as a kid and teen Snape, refusing to accept same reason for his behaviour.
I once unironically heard that some Snaters hate his teen self because of the person he becomes later on, and (apparently) even go as far as victim-blaming him.
Yeah, that's also true. They say he deserved it because he turned out to be a Death Eater and even deserved SA for being a racist. For all they say about Snape being obsessed with Lily, ironically they are obsessed with hating a fictional character for wrong reasons.

Yeah, it's some Minority Report-type condemnation
Sadly it is too much for Snaters to step out of their comfort zone to try and understand the character of Severus.

Because in doing so, they'd need to humanise him, and we all know they will never do that.
Right, it is easy to see a character superficially and project their own teacher issues on him but it's difficult to try and understand how come he arrived at that point. Severus is the classic example of how someone can be completely failed by the society yet come out a better man than most in series.
No kidding! They should thank him that Hogwarts still exists (in-universe ofc) for Harry to even see in 1991.
Yeah, Light side couldn't have won if not for Severus. People talk about golden trio but it was Platinum trio i.e Severus, Dumbledore and Harry that defeated Voldemort.
