Me, a Snape stan, to the ppl who say these things and go unscathed but we get death threats and harassment for liking Snape:
You heard it here from the fandom itself, folks! Tom Riddle is more acceptable to like than Severus Snape…

I hate that corporations hoard many of the world's stories.
I hate that corporations make all this money from the stories they hoard, yet will work the artists they employ to create their movies and shows to the bone, forcing long hours and insufficient pay.
I also hate that those same corporations will see fit to come for everything a fan owns if that fan decides to produce fan content for sale or commission when whatever money that fan might have made will come to but a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of what that corporation will rake-in during a month from their hoard of stories.
What makes it more upsetting is that fan content is often better too, made from the heart of someone who loved the story and wanted to share, as opposed to cheap mass produced stuff thought up only for it's ability to make sales. And I hate that the workers who mass produce those products also aren't likely paid or treated fairly.
I also hate that these corporations can decide to just... wipe any story from the face of the earth for a tax break and the creators of those stories can't do anything about it, and I hate more that the rights to those stories don't return to them.
I hate that certain platforms, which allow smaller creators of content or stories to host said content for free on a monetized platform, only give those creators pennies on the dollar of every ad, when the platform literally could not exist without all the content all those creators make- and while the CEOs make millions. And I hate how said platforms force the creators to censor themselves to death, and often remove or demonetize their content for unclear reasons that they refuse to explain, all to be "Advertiser Friendly."
I hate that if content isn't consumed immediately, the content dies, that shows get cancelled for stuff like "completion rates." I hate how we're not allowed to just enjoy our stories at own own pace anymore if we want them to survive. I hate that we must consume more and more to "prove" the story's worthiness to producers or stakeholders or whoever, or risk losing it.
I hate how capitalism has woven into our storytelling, and I hate how capitalism has bled into fandom.
I hate how fandom has become less about community and sharing what we love- even years after a story has ended, and more about who can finish a series fast enough to produce enough content before they have to move onto the next thing everyone else is watching. And I hate how the fan content is thanklessly consumed and more is demanded as if the creators themselves are vending machines meant only to serve instead of members of the community with thoughts and feelings and their own love for the story.
And I hate how we all now call things like art, stories, music, etc: "content."
And I hate that capitalism has made it so that if you are a creator of any such media, you must participate in capitalism in order to share it to a wider audience, and I hate how capitalism has also made us believe that if our work doesn't reach a massive audience then we've failed or our creation was meaningless/not good.
And I wonder how many wonderful stories none of us will experience because the game of capitalism choked them out before we could hear them.

So.. I joined TVD’s bandwagon. And after 7 seasons I’m confused, mad and disappointed. I don’t see any character development. I don’t like Stefan, he’s an ass. He’ll only do good if he benefits from it. I had hopes for Damon but he doesn’t learn anything. Every time he makes the WORST decisions and begs his friends AGAIN to forgive him and promise to do better. Elena has the maincharacter syndrome and only cares what she feels and want. The only characters I got attached to is Bonnie and Enzo. They had to endure sooo much. Bonnie didn’t deserve it. She is powerful, kind and lovely. Why does everybody treat her like shit and only as a key to every problem they have. And poor Enzo.. abandoned, hurt and used. But all this time you could see the good in him. And in S7 they become a thing?! With little to no explainaition how?! I need a spin off of Bonnie and Enzo.
