you hate when fans feminize Sirius but what about Snape, i see him feminized all the time by snape fans

I hate when people feminize Sirius because Sirius is not a feminine character. Like, at no point is Sirius a character who has anything whatsoever to do with hegemonic femininity. So if, instead of making him the over-six-foot-tall guy that Sirius was — because based on how he’s described, he was over six feet tall — you make him this tiny five-foot guy who weighs 45 kilos and is more feminine than I am, then you’re completely missing the point.

Sirius was imposing. Harry describes him as an imposing guy. He was someone who commanded attention, who had a presence. He was masculine, he had very masculine mannerisms, and, for fuck’s sake, he wore a leather jacket, rode a motorcycle, had pictures of women in bikinis in his room. I mean, can you get more heteronormative than that? Every description we get of Sirius in the books presents him as a pretty fucking heteronormative guy who fits the whole “bad boy with a heart of gold” archetype.

So what bothers me is when people just completely disregard all of that and turn him into this tiny, 45-kilo little boy who is more feminine than I am, okay? I consider myself a pretty conventionally feminine person, but Sirius would probably look more like a girl than I do. And that is what bothers me, because you’re completely disregarding the character.

And actually, Sirius being such a strongly masculine archetype has a lot to do with his personality, with how he relates to other people, and with how he exerts his power. So you’re basically destroying the character.

With Severus, it’s different, because Severus is never described as an excessively masculine person. In fact, Severus has a lot of feminine traits. And when we talk about hegemonic gender presentation, we’re talking about certain characteristics, okay? Not about what should or shouldn’t be considered masculine or feminine, or what we personally, when talking about gender theory, would like it to be. No. We’re talking about what is conventionally understood as masculine or feminine.

And Severus is never described as particularly masculine. Quite the opposite. He has many traits that can very easily be associated with femininity. Does it annoy me if you portray him as basically a stereotypically feminine character? Obviously. But does Severus have a much greater potential for gender fluidity than Sirius? Absolutely. For all sorts of reasons.

Everything about him. From where he comes from, to the way he’s dressed as a child — he’s actually dressed in clothing that is coded as feminine — to the fact that he’s called “Snivelly,” which is a direct attack on his masculinity and an insult with very homophobic and deeply patriarchal connotations. Because calling a man a crybaby, essentially, is deeply patriarchal. The fact that he isn’t athletic, the fact that he’s lanky, the fact that he has features that don’t conform to hegemonic standards of male beauty, it’s all of these things.

So, obviously, there’s much more leeway with him. You simply cannot compare the two characters on that level, because they have absolutely nothing in common in that regard.

I genuinely think one of your problems is that you don’t understand some very basic concepts, for fuck’s sake. And maybe these things seem basic to me because I’m thirty and therefore I assume certain things are universal knowledge, but I genuinely think there’s been a decline in the quality of people’s education and general cultural literacy over the past few years.

Because sometimes you ask me certain questions and I’m just like, “Guys, come on. I understood this when I was seventeen. You didn’t?” Because honestly, it’s kind of wild.

Can we talk about how a huge chunk of Lily Evans hyper-stans don't actually care about Lily as a fully realized character, but instead use her as a massive self-insert vessel to sublimate their own high school status fantasies and patriarchy-driven validation complexes?

Because honestly, it’s never about analyzing Lily with any actual literary or historical objectivity. It’s pure personal projection. It’s about wanting to be the ultimate "Chosen Girl": the pretty, palatably flawed, morally untouchable girl who captures the undivided devotion of the rich, high-status jock and his powerful, cool friends at school.

When you look at this phenomenon through a gender and class lens, the psychological gymnastics become almost fascinating:

Under patriarchy, women are conditioned to measure their worth through male validation, specifically validation from high-status, high-capital men. By self-inserting into Lily, these fans get to participate in a classic patriarchal bargain: they get the social protection, wealth, and prestige of the ruling-class man (James Potter), while maintaining the illusion of female empowerment because "he changed for her." It feeds the deeply internalized misogynistic trope that a woman's ultimate triumph isn't her own independence or political agency, but her ability to "tame" and be chosen by the top-tier male in the social hierarchy.

To make this self-insert fantasy work, Snape —the impoverished, abused, non-physically-conforming boy— cannot just be a messy, tragic peer. He has to be forced into one of two gendered tropes that serve the self-insert's ego:

The "Creepy Incel / Threat" Route: They frame him as an obsessive, predatory monster. Why? Because purity culture and patriarchal narratives require a "threat" to justify the heroine seeking sanctuary with the rich, powerful man. By painting the poor, ugly boy as an irredeemable villain who oppressed her, James’s relentless bullying suddenly gets re-framed not as domestic terrorism or public assault, but as "protective chivalry." It’s a classic classist narrative: the rich man saving the pure maiden from the dangerous, low-class degenerate.

The "Pathetic Tragic Simp" Route: They treat him with a sickening, condescending pity. He becomes the "poor ugly boy who was hopelessly in love with me forever." This nourishes a very specific type of female ego: the ego that delights in being secretly worshipped by an inferior. They look down on him with a patronizing "aww, how cute that he wanted me so badly," while knowing damn well that in real life, their class prejudice and aesthetic bias would never allow them to breathe the same air as a traumatized, poor kid.

This is where the internal contradiction becomes hilarious. These fans love to posture as progressive, yet they defend James Potter tooth and nail, a guy who used his immense wealth, physical dominance, and social impunity to harass and assault people for fun. Why do they forgive him? Because patriarchy and classism have taught them that cruelty is excusable if it comes wrapped in charisma, athletic skill, and old money. Admitting James was an abusive bully breaks the core Wattpad fantasy where the wealthy, popular boy is secretly a golden-hearted prince who treats his girl like a queen.

Look at how they ship Lily with Sirius or Barty Crouch Jr. It’s the ultimate Y/N trope. Of course, they have to canonically choose James because he offers legitimacy, safety, and money. But the idea of the dangerous, aristocratic, obscenely hot "bad boy" (Sirius or Barty) carrying a dark, unrequited passion for them —a passion they can never act on because they are far too pure, chaste, and morally upright— is the ultimate female-ego cocktail. It allows them to enjoy the thrill of male danger without risking their moral standing.

At the end of the day, these super-fans are using Lily to live out a deeply classist, male-centered fantasy of social dominance, wrapped in a fake aesthetic of "girlboss morality." And watching them try to lecture others on ethics while defending abusive aristocrats and projecting their own patriarchal validation needs onto a fictional teenager is just profoundly exhausting. And to top it all off, the most embarrassing part of this whole projection is how they try to dress Lily up as some kind of radical "Social Justice Warrior" icon just so they can feel empowered and morally superior.

Let's be so real for a second: canon Lily Evans is not the revolutionary feminist hero they pretend she is.

What did she actually do in canon? The literal second she finished school at seventeen? eighteen?, she married the absurdly rich guy she had personally watched abuse, bully, and publicly degrade people for years, and got pregnant with his heir at nineteen. She moved straight into a traditional, heteronormative, suburban family structure funded entirely by multi-generational Potter money.

There is nothing inherently wrong with a character wanting a quiet, domestic life, but watching her fans try to frame marrying an abusive aristocrat and settling into respectable, wealthy domesticity as the ultimate pinnacle of female empowerment is insane.

She didn't dismantle the status quo; she literally married straight into the absolute top tier of wizarding wealth and privilege. The sheer level of delulu and the desperate, unhinged need for male validation among her hyper-stans is genuinely heavy because at the end of the day, they aren't worshipping a radical feminist; they're worshipping a girl who secured the ultimate patriarchal prize.

Let Severus Snape be a mess

Let Serverus Snape be an homophobic asshole.

[inthemoodforblastt]

Snape was never homophobic but you’re a classist brat

[andreacastelan]

I am classist brad for assuming that poor people with bad education from unstabbel homes are more bigot then people who are coming from rich stabel educated families?

As far as i know poor uneducated people are often much more bigoted , then rich educated people.

Also their is even book evidenz, in book it is said that Snape parents fight a lot most likeley also because his mom is witch. A witch is in group of poor english working class people pretty outstanding person you could also say queer person. So atleast part of Snape home problem are because he and his mom are queer compared to the people around them. In Hogwarts Snape is not queer anymore for being a wizards anymore but for being poor and for having a muggle dad. So he joyns the Deatheaters who are hating muggles, being part muggle makes Snape queer in the wizards World, so he joins a right wing group of people to get ride of his queer side.

James Potter on the other hand is friends with people from from his familys perspektive very different backgrounds, Sirius cames from a family of right wing people (Potters are most left wing or liberals) and Remus is a Werwolf, so he much likley less queer/homophobic then Snape.

Call me a classit brad for my takes or argue with me.

I am fine with both.

[justshoveabezoar-again]

No one is reading your nonsense. Pack it up.

At this point, it must be rage baiting because any one who is this ignorant can't type two words together without their brain bleeding out from the effort.

[monochronicflameo]

I finally finished this, I redrew it so many times I almost cried

Sirius Black

[frederick-the-great]

I think the ultimate proof that there is a classist element in James and Sirius’s bullying of Snape is that James jumps on Snape when Snape says he wanted to be sorted in Slytherin, thus inaugurating their hatred of each other. However, when Sirius says that all of his family was in Slytherin, James only says “and here I thought you were alright” but proceeded to allow Sirius into making fun of Snape and Lily with him.

Both Snape and Sirius reveal a connection to Slytherin, and James offers condemnation in both cases, but his attitude towards Sirius was already markedly different. Given that Sirius hadn’t yet the chance to disavow Slytherin, James had no way of knowing about Sirius’s complicated relationship with his own family. Therefore, James’s antipathy towards Snape surpassed the issue of House rivalry and has to be explained by Snape’s aspect and demeanour - the poor, neglected kid from whom James so clearly differed.

How can you tell me that you don't understand Snape's story without telling me that you don't understand Snape's story...

[totheeyestothelightinsafety]

If people are happy to just throw around words without care for definitions anymore, we might as well call Snape a totalitarian communist eco warrior while we are at it. Since words don't mean anything and definitions don't matter.
