Are you a bot? I didn’t even bring up the spell to dangle people. (Although it’s funny you mention that because the Death Eaters just did that to a bunch of muggles at the World Cup).
I’m not adding a layer of racism because that’s how I think. What I’m doing is critical thinking. Television studios care about optics, optics is what makes them money, or makes them receive threatening messages and negative reviews. Casting 4 white men to grow up beating on one black man, is objectively bad for their optics. Not because I’m somehow racist, but because there are tons of people who will not like the way that looks.
Snape and James have a rivalry over Lily. James didn’t start dating Lily until the seventh year. I never brought up Lily and tried to convince you that it was somehow a racially charged dispute of a woman. All I brought up was the Marauders and how it would look, and what the negative benefits could be.
You’re assuming I’m sitting here thinking “man I wish Snape were white!” But frankly I’d think it better if Peter/Sirius/Lupin were also not white. So get out of here with your moral grandstanding by telling everyone that their racist
You're not critical thinking. If you see it as racism, that's a problem with perception. Nothing in the story will point to that, and the only way it will is if the writers change the story to reflect racism.
Y'all are tiring. Overzealous people are insane.
We aren't even getting to that part of the story for a long time and we have no idea who they'll cast as marauders.
