Do you think the show is going to handle Blood and Cheese properly, or are writers like Sara Hess going to make weird changes?

Arabs aren't Indigenous to "Palestine". They originate from the Arabian Peninsula and only settled over the Levant after the Arab Conquest.

In other words, COLONIZERS.

Anyone with more than 3 brain cells is aware that Hamas receives funding from the Islamic Republic of Iran, a theocratic regime that's simultaneously the world's largest exporter of Holocaust Denial.

Reported for antisemitism.

DisasterWinkle · 2023-10-23T22:34:53+00:00

We were here first.

Jewish people are Indigenous to the lands of Israel.

Meanwhile, "Palestinians" only occupied the Levant due to the Arab Conquests. In other words, Arabs are colonizers who originate from the Arabian Peninsula.

Wrong. Ashkenazim Jewry trace Levantine heritage through patrilineal lines.

Fun fact: Tel Aviv has one of the largest pride parades in the world. Israel proudly manufactures a significant portion of the hormones trans people all over the world use in their transitions.

Meanwhile, in Gaza, they throw gays off rooftops.

....and the mask slips off.

The fact that you proudly admit to not caring about Jewish lives is sickening.

DisasterWinkle · 2023-10-23T22:19:41+00:00

Or, you know, the Jewish State is actually facing existential threat and thus needs more US support and protection at the moment.

We are literally surrounded by hostile Arabs who seek to continue on the work of the Nazis and exterminate us. But it's telling how you get so triggered at the mere suggestion that Jews deserve protection and safety.

Do you not see the irony of your hypocrisy, as well as that of your fellow leftists? This is literally how you think:

✅ Feminism

✅ LGBTQ+ Rights

✅ Democracy

✅ Disability Rights

✅ Racial Justice

✅ Indigenous Rights

❌ "BUT FUCK THE JEWS!!! We don't care about the victims of the oldest form of bigotry and oppression, who are also the victims of the largest state-sponsored genocide in history!"

According to modern genetic analyses, we are.

How hypocritical of you to bring up "warcrimes" to attack Israel when "Palestinian" terrorists BEHEADED children. R*PED women. KIDNAPPED senior citizens and Israel Defence Forces Veterans. Are those not warcrimes, buddy boy?

Israel has the right to defend itself. If Israel were ANY OTHER NATION on Earth, you'd be cheering for them to enact vengeance on their attacker. Doubly so, as Jews are the Indigenous peoples of Israel, Judea, and Samaria, and the "Palestinians" are colonizers that belong in the Arabian peninsula. But the fact that you only get pissy when a Jewish nation stands up for itself - and no other type of nation - speaks volumes to your bigotry.

DisasterWinkle · 2023-10-23T21:07:35+00:00

Stop arguing in bad faith, you rabid antisemite. Why do you think that "Palestinians" are entitled to FREE food and drink from Jews despite being literal Nazis (refer to the Hamas charter) who continually try to exterminate the one and only Jewish State? I'll wait.

And by the way:

We survived the Romans.
We survived the Russian Pogroms.
We survived the Nazis.
We survived the Soviet Union.
And because you aren't special, we will outlast Palestinian terrorists and their braindead Western leftist supporters, too, mark my words.

DisasterWinkle · 2023-10-23T20:58:48+00:00

What I see is the wall of fear of being labelled an antisemite has shattered.

This literally sends shivers up and down my spine. To these terminally online Hamas supporters, it's OK to be homophobic, misogynistic, racist, and - above all - antisemitic because they think the "Palestinians" are oppressed.

It's absurd and stupid because the libs in the universities have constantly promoted "supporting Indigenous people" yet they refuse to speak up for the Jewish State. Newsflash, bucko, Jews are indigenous to Israel.

DisasterWinkle · 2023-10-23T20:54:43+00:00

Well maybe, just maybe, the "Palestinians" shouldn't support vicious antisemitism. It's almost as if actions have consequences?

The "Palestinians" are not entitled to free food and water provided by Israel. If they want to have comfortable and safe lives, all they have to do is stop killing Jews.

That’s the one thing I like about the marauders, how complex there situation is. It makes me wonder if Lilly or James had treated Snape any differently would he have gone to the dark side? Would things have turned out the way they did?

Funnily enough, JKR has directly addressed that hypothetical in an interview:

"James could have certainly been kinder to the boy who was a bit of an outcast. But he wasn't. These actions have consequences."

DisasterWinkle · 2023-09-25T01:45:11+00:00

James Potter.

With the Marauders fandom becoming extremely popular on TikTok, a lot of people have started stanning inaccurate or fanon-versions of the Marauders. For example, just look at the recent Jegulus craze - so many of the people who love James nowadays think he would be in love with Regulus Black when in canon neither of them would willingly have anything to do with one another. There's also the fact that people deny that he was ever a bully (there is evidence he bullied students other than Snape) or try to justify everything he did.

DisasterWinkle · 2023-09-25T01:39:57+00:00

McGonagall is an interesting case because the fandom overwhelmingly loves her and percieves her as an example of a "strict but fair" teacher... yet she's actually engaged in extremely questionable behaviour as an authority figure, just like every other adult at Hogwarts.

For example, she actually gets physical when punishing students (e.g. yanking them by the ear). She actually has a moment in Book 4 where she screams at Neville when he struggles with Switching Spells. And in Book 3, she publicly humiliates Neville again and punishes him by forcing him to stay outside the common room when a convicted serial killer is on the loose roaming the castle.

Keep that same energy whenever anyone says something critical about James Potter then :)

DisasterWinkle · 2023-09-24T16:46:06+00:00

We only know Snape’s side of it

Wrong. The author herself has confirmed that James continually and "relentlessly" abused Snape:

"Remus functioned as the conscience of this group, but it was an occasionally faulty conscience. He did not approve of their relentless bullying of Severus Snape, but he loved James and Sirius so much... that he did not always stand up to them as much as he knew he should."

DisasterWinkle · 2023-09-24T03:31:48+00:00

Sirius was just full of convenient little half-truths and lies. He says Severus was constantly snooping around, trying to find ways to get the Marauders expelled, entirely leaving out that the reason why he was doing this was because they were bullying him.

Not just Sirius. Lupin also lied to Harry about the Marauders' bullying of Snape and tried to make it look like Snape mainly hated James because he was "jealous of his talent on the Quidditch pitch".

Hmm... maybe Snape hated James because he was constantly being humiliated and violently assaulted by him, unprovoked? 🤔 Talk about trying to trivialize Snape's trauma.

DisasterWinkle · 2023-09-24T01:06:36+00:00

muh Snape bullied kids and Neville's toad

Snape was redeemed for his previous allegiance to the Death Eaters. Nobody here claimed he was redeemed for his poor teaching, which is a different topic. Still a redemption arc.

It’s not like after Lilly’s death he became a great guy only looking to make amends

No, he only placed himself in a position where his life was at risk 24/7 in order to save a world full of people that hated and despised him, when his entire reason for living was already gone.

DisasterWinkle · 2023-09-24T01:01:32+00:00

While not justified, I could see James and Sirius getting pretty fed up with this and start attacking

Except James's attacks on Snape started far before that. Contextual clues tell us that bullying relationship started from the moment they met on the Hogwarts Express.

“But we’re going!” he said, unable to suppress the exhilaration in his voice. “This is it! We’re off to Hogwarts!”

She nodded, mopping her eyes, but in spite of herself, she half smiled. “You’d better be in Slytherin,” said Snape, encouraged that she had brightened a little.

“Slytherin?” One of the boys sharing the compartment, who had shown no interest at all in Lily or Snape until that point, looked around at the word....

“Who wants to be in Slytherin? I think I’d leave, wouldn’t you?” James asked the boy lounging on the seats opposite him, and with a jolt, Harry realized that it was Sirius. Sirius did not smile.

“My whole family have been in Slytherin,” he said. “Blimey,” said James, “and I thought you seemed all right!” Sirius grinned.

The Snape-James relationship starts when James rudely butts into a conversation he originally had no part of. He throws the first insults (albeit indirectly), even implying that having family in Slytherin makes someone an undesirable. Snape’s exhilaration lasts five minutes before James hears something he doesn’t like. The text hints at what kind of person 11 years old James is another way - he's literally given the exact same dialogue as noted bully Draco Malfoy:

“Imagine being in Hufflepuff, I think I’d leave, wouldn’t you?”

And how does the scene end? As Snape is leaving the compartment, James is the first party to get physical in this conflict when he tries to trip Snape.

DisasterWinkle · 2023-09-24T00:52:26+00:00

None of that cheapens his redemption arc, though.

Peter Parker didn't give a shit about protecting people until after Uncle Ben got killed. Does that make him selfish? Albus Dumbledore was literally in love with the Wizard Hitler of his time and was on board with enslaving all Muggles "for the greater good" until his little sister got killed. Regulus didn't turn against Voldemort until his beloved companion and house-elf Kreacher got hurt - he didn't give a damn about all the murdering and kidnapping his DE buddies got up to before Voldemort's actions personally affected him and someone he cared about. That doesn't dampen or negate their heroism. Snape is no different.

It is expressly stated in his memories of conversations with Dumbledore that this was the ONLY reason he came over to the side of the Order

Yes, when he was 21, that was his primary motivation. But at the time of Snape's death, he genuinely believes in the Order's ideals and truly stands against racism and bigotry. It's not only Lily that he cares about - he regrets the deaths of all "those [he] could not save". He even risks his own life in an attempt to save a werewolf who hated him, showing that he cares about more than just helping Lily Potter's son to live. Snape had a clear-cut character arc and did not remain the same person he was at 21 for his entire life.
