Right, I wasn't even going to click on SilverInkPot's response to Ravenstar's half-essay, but I did. And since my responding there would be breaking my own rules, I'm going to keep from doing that.
There are two things about it that are really funny to me. The big one is that it's extremely obvious in the essay that it's not about fans being bad people for disliking Lily, and yet SIP says multiple times that RS is straight-up calling people misogynists. If that's not the pricking of a guilty conscience, I don't know what is.
The second's a fairly minor nitpick. But hilarious.
... to call criticism of a female character "misogyny" is just a way to tell people to shut up, that their ideas are psychosis instead of valid arguments.
You heard it here, "misogyny" is being added to the DSM-V as a new psychosis. Apparently, it's not a societal issue, but a psychological one! Who knew?
Another thing I've learned is that women can mansplain, too.
Or someone points out the fact that even their names sound like Prince and the Pauper, only reversed, Prince and the Potter. That's a fact - go read Mark Twain, if you know who that is. If not, Google Samuel Clemons (don't worry, he's not a misogynist writer - he thought Eve was stronger than Adam, and he wrote a famous speech about the Right to Vote).
Ahahahahahahahha you're a loser.
Additionally, Mary_J_59 straight-up lies in the comments. Apparently she's never seen "any Snape fan denigrate Lily this way". I find that hard to believe, since she's very active on Snapedom and so is Marionros. |

I think what keeps me from feeling the sane Snape love the way many people do is the uninhibited child-bullying. I love House, and House can be pretty awful to everyone he works with and even Wilson, but whenever there are young children around, he seems to get on with them pretty well (IIRC). And when he's jerkish to his colleagues, more than just abrasively sarcastic, it's usually out of some slightly-sociopathic desire to find something out or cause a specific effect. They're actually pretty different characters.
- this post brought to you by someone, possibly one of you but I don't remember, saying they loved House and Snape in a comment somewhere |
