Do Marauders apologists think the sexual assault was justified? Or do they just pretend it didn't happen?
When Marauders apologists talk about how much James grew up and changed, and how Lily wouldn't have dated him otherwise, they somehow always ignore that Lily already had a canonical crush on James when he was still publicly abusing Severus.
It's mind-boggling how hypocritical they get about it too, they know they don't have an excuse for it and try to throw Severus under the bus.
"Snape joined a racist group!"
That word has a different meaning than they seem to think it does. It was discriminative and he was groomed for years into joining. Both by the hundreds of Slytherins he roomed with, and the Gryffindors around him that made him suffer and alienated him from everyone else.
"Snape bullied children!"
No? He was just a strict teacher who made angry remarks at his students. He was bad at teaching, that doesn't make him a bully.
"He outed Lupin as a werewolf!"
After Lupin almost murdered five people. Three of which were students. He had already warned those students on how deadly a werewolf could be and how to differentiate one from an actual wolf.
Yet they never want to talk about how James ganged up on, abused, and sexually assaulted a schoolmate because he "existed".
They always say that James "grew up" and "changed for the better", like, no? Their only proof is what James's best friends say when talking to James's son, which is just that he "got better", or that Lily wouldn't have dated him otherwise.
Again, Lily already had a crush on James and defended him to his victim when James was his known abuser, are we really supposed to accept that as proof of his character development?
