I'm bullying like the Marauders now? Really? Since when are they an ethnic minority and have "bullied" those with racial privilege who condescendingly tried to speak for their experience?
And since when is reading someone's PUBLIC journal stalking? Especially if I've interacted with this person before? My journal and parts of my profile that I don't have hidden are available for anyone to read. Go have at it. That's what it's for.
And once again, I'm one of those women of color who identify with Lily. Her insulting comment was directed to people like me.
"They regulary get posts there, because there is a large group of people out there who thinks that jkr can do no wrong, and as soon as you contradict: bingo. A part of that group is also of the opinion that Lily is a saint, you contradict: bingo. Yet another part of that group thinks that because they have another skin colour than pink they know all there is about discrimiination and woe if you dare to not compare everything in the books to what people of colour have and had to go through."
No, they're not the fandom police and don't claim to be. Wank sites are there to mock things that come off as ridiculous and/or offensive. It has nothing to do with JKR or Lily worship. Heck, Harry Potter fandom isn't even the only thing they mock, neither is Snape fandom. If post from Snapedom are getting posted on there and people find some things offensive, maybe that tells you something. And yes, you would think people who experience racism who don't benefit from white privilege would know a thing or two about racism and how certain aspects in the books reflect that. Cause you know, we live it.
And yea, I go to my journal and rant. I figure that's what a livejournal is for, to talk about whatever it is you feel like and sharing it with who ever you want. And in nowhere in my rant did I summon anyone to back me up or to come after you or Snapedom.
I don't know what anons come here. Though I've noticed that in all my past reading of this site, the only time anons come to give you flak is when something offensive is said. Other than that, no one ever bothers to talk about Snapedom.
For this case, I figure if you werent' going to listen to an anon, you would listen to someone who had their name signed on. You're the one who said you wanted to give Snapedom a safe space. The only intention I had was letting you know why the comments made were appalling and why comments like these don't make Snapedom a safe space. Again, it's totally up to you on what you want to do. With that, I think I've said more than enough to you and this comm, so this will be the last of my rambling.
