why in fucks sake do snape apologists think that james SEUXALLY ASSAULTED (!!) snape?? sexual assault is not threatening someone’s pants off, you idiots, it’s actually doing it. So get your head of Snape’s ass and think for once in your life
Wether of not i agree with the point this person is making, I find it funny that they used all the tags that you’re supposed to yet four different individuals Sn*pe Stan’s all commented or reblogged the post. And don’t your dare say “Harry Potter tag” because if you guys actually gave a fuck about not seeing our posts (like you say you do!) then you would block the tag.
What someone said in the replies. if you tag something correctly, Including “Snape” as a string of characters exactly or “Severus Snape” even if it’s preceded by anti, will have the post show up under the search. And not everyone has access to the “tagged” category in search Aka desktop browser users. And posts with that exact string also show up in recommended posts. Tumblr’s search and recommendations are really that shit. If you don’t want it found at all by people who search on tumblr for Snape or Severus snape, you’d have to break up the string of letters and make it “sn/pe” or “sn@pe”. Basically censor it.
Actually that shouldn’t happen at all if ya’ll block the anti-snape tag. Which you should be doing considering how often snape stan/snape apologists will complain about our posts being in the wrong tag…. Which should look like this….
So the only way you can view the post would be through pressing view post. Which would mean that people are actively going on anti posts to comment pro snape shit. You don’t want us on your posts, we don’t want you on our posts.
You’re assuming that some Snape fans don’t also browse the anti Snape tag because some of us don’t mind the critical posts and even agree with some of them, ya know when they actually have canon evidence backing it. So why would they block that tag? And if one Snape fan finds it and responds, any other Snape fan that follows them is sure to find it. Because the tags don’t always block on a reblog.
Also the whole requesting people tag things correctly is so people who WANT to find things to be found gets found and people who want to find things can. And some people were tagging obviously anti Snape things in the pro snape tag. And Snape bashing in the general Snape tag.
Don’t want it found, don’t tag it. Also don’t assume a fan isn’t also critical of their fave. You might be one dimensionally shallow or in your fan activities, but not everyone else is.
“Don’t want it found, don’t tag it” ummm exactly! Op didn’t tag “Pro-snape”, “Severus snape”, or “ snape community” yet people are deciding to be an asshole on someone’s posts just because they disagree and that is not okay!! don’t call a literal child a rape apologist! Also don’t even get me started on how I should totally be aloud to put anti snape on the Severus snape tag! And don’t say its how it works in every fandom on tumblr(an excuse that was told to me once before that I believed) because no it fucking isn’t!! sometimes, when I’m in the mood to post on this blog I’ll scroll through the pro-snape tag - in specific to see how ignorant some people can be- but do I ever -even once- decide that I should hate reblog someone? No. No, I don’t. But yeah, maybe I’m “one dimensionally shallow”, but at-least I’m not some immature bully. Which is actually hysterical considering how much Snape Stan’s scream about the marauders bullying snape… 
Reread what I said: You’re assuming that some Snape fans don’t also browse the anti Snape tag because some of us don’t mind the critical posts and even agree with some of them, ya know when they actually have canon evidence backing it. So why would they block that tag? And if one Snape fan finds it and responds, any other Snape fan that follows them is sure to find it. Because the tags don’t always block on a reblog.
If they’re old enough to A) be on social media and B) dismiss what is clearly a sexual assault in a fiction work, then they are old enough to face the consequences and be called out for the early red flags of destructive behavior and thinking. Note I said “you’re a rape apologist in the making.” In the making is key to what I called them. They aren’t one yet because far as I saw on their blog there wasn’t much else to indicate but it could be a side account and there could be more red flags or there could be none. But either way, not recognizing the act as a sexual assault is a huge a problem - especially as a child as you called them. So if they were to be attacked in a similar fashion in real life, we wouldn’t want them to brush it off as not sexual assault. That’s hugely traumatic. People can enjoy their fiction and recognize the problems and crimes that’s committed in fiction - but the moment it crosses into reality and they apply the same behaviors in reality is where we are too late. And THAT is the line we have to prevent them from crossing. So making sure that hey, this behavior in fiction - while okay to enjoy in fiction - is not okay to apply in real life but should still be recognized as a problem within the fictional work.
Another person said it in the replies. If you want to shout into the void of tumblr and rant about a character and not have their fans interact - literally censoring the tag takes two seconds. But people are going to see it if you don’t and interact and thats okay, thats sort of the point of social media. But the moment that interaction becomes straight out harassment - then it’s a problem. And if the person doesn’t like who is interacting with their post - the block button exists. But some people do like to have discussions with people of different views to them. Case in point, this interaction we’re having.
And for some others, it’s entertaining. Less a way to change the mind of the person they are talking to and more to convince everyone else watching.
Yeah, that’s fine!!! Go ahead and discourse!!! My problem is the insults and the calling people slurs!!! It’s fucked up and it’s bullying!!! ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS A MINOR!! EVEN IF THEY’RE OLD ENOUGH TO BE ON SOCIAL MEDIA!! WHICH DOESNT MAKE SENSE BECUASE I HAD A FUCKING FACEBOOK AT 11!! HAVING SOCIAL MEDIA AND BEING OLD ENOUGN FOR SOCIAL MEDIA ARE TWO VERY DIFFENT THINGS!!! BUT STILL comparing fiction to reality is fuck up, saying that a human being is a rape apologist in the making for having an opinion about a fiction character is fuck up!!! AND THE BLOCK BUTTON SHOULNT HAVE TO BE USED!!’ NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO FIND IT NECESSARY TO BAN SOMEONE BECAUSE THEY’re being Called shit like a Rape apologist in the making. My 15 year old sister once posted something and somone misunderstood itand people were calling her slurs and fatphobic for weeks. She sobbed for weeks bevoause of that shit.. I’m not saying that op feels that way but that’s the fucking shit you and so many people (both anti snape and pro snape) are doing, okay? You’re being a bully and a cunt to a child.
If you had an FB at 11, that was a breach in their terms of service and your guardians/parents were clearly at fault for not monitoring your internet habits. Same goes for this platform too.
Either way, if we're expected to share the same space as minors - especially those who are clearly not being monitored properly by their parents, then we should point out when they are displaying /engaging in troublesome and potential dangerous behaviors that could cause future harm to themselves in real life. Fiction is a safe way to experience things - so long as you recognize the bad things done in fiction for what they are if the same things were done in reality. Hence, calling OP's inability to recognize James attacking Snape as a sexual assault is a red flag and a per-cursor to real life Rape Apologia. Not that they are one right now.
Its a pity what your 15 your old sister experienced. But she clearly wasn't mature enough to be on social media and your parents should be to blame for not teaching her how public social media is and how tone is lost online. Those people who called her those slurs and fatphobic - could have done so more delicately. Or... she actually was fatphobic in which case it was warranted to point out the fatphobia. Not the slurs though. Slurs are never warranted in real life. But I wasn't there so I don't know how they handled it nor the context of what she posted.
As for no one should have to find it necessary to ban someone because of having their potentially dangerous inability to recognize a crime for what it is? If they think they're being harassed, they can ban all they like. That is what the ban function is for. If they also don't like their content - they can also pre-emptively ban. Personally, I try not ban. I enjoy having discussions on this blog and others. But I do ban when the person is clearly just throwing a tantrum and angry that someone pointed out their bad behavior.
