I know there's already been posts about it but I still wanted to vent.

I've been on this sub since 2024 and I knew Joanne was a transphobe since before that, but I'm still shocked. It seems against everything I thought she stood for in the 2000s and 2010s, but being enabled by countless people on Twitter means she felt safe enough to show increasingly her true colors, especially since most medias didn't even report it (or they were scared of calling her out)

Also, there's something else that disgusted me in that post about Freda, though it's overshadowed by the upskirting thing - it was how Jojo mocked Freda for "leaving and indelible impression on the audience and the chair", because body-shaming is apparently necessary in order to complete the trinity with upskirting and transphobia 💀

If you told 2015-me that she would end up like that, there's no way I'd have believed it

It's no secret that by the end of the series, we're supposed to see Snape as a tragic hero/anti-hero who sacrificed his life for his love, making him one of the proofs of the power of love - but I don't like that.

Snape's "love" for Lily didn't stop him for calling her the magic equivalent of the N-word or bullying her son. In a flashback in Deathly Hallows, Dumbledore even scolds him for thinking only about Lily's safety but not her husband's and child's. From my perspective, his hatred for James Potter is stronger than his love for Lily. If he truly loved her, he wouldn't have relentlessy have tried to make Harry's life hell in Hogwarts. Plus, his experiences with James doesn't explain how he behaved towards Ron, Hermione and Neville. He loved Lily, but he most likely saw her as "one of the good ones", never questioning his beliefs.

Even besides Snape, I had that feeling that being able to feel love, no matter how toxic, was somewhat of a redeeming quality in a "they're evil but at least they're not pure evil" way. Narcissa and Lucius are seen as semi-redeemable/less evil than other Death Eaters due to their love for their son. To me being capable of loving people doesn't necessarily mean you can't be a total scumbag - there's been cases of war criminals who loved their family after all !

I think I wouldn't have minded it if Snape was seen as a necessary part of Voldemort's defeat who was still a terrible human being, instead of a redeemed hero who is remembered as "one of the bravest men" Harry knew, to the point he gave his name to his son.

What do you think ?

This isn't the first time she used photos to bully people - if I recall well she did the same in 2024 with another trans woman or someone who defended trans people

It's really alarming because it means she feels powerful enough to get away with it. Personally I would find that extremely violent if I was on the receiving hands of this !

It's no secret that she isn't above mentioning people's posts from Reddit publicly - she either stalks Reddit or people do it for her. Hence why I wondered what would be the best course of action if she ever tries to put a target on the back of a member of this sub.
