controversial: dumbledore would’ve made the right decision taking the 1991-1992 house cup away from slytherin even if harry and co. hadn’t saved the school and stopped voldemort from returning to power
In addition to what’s mentioned in this link, we have some info to help folks make a plan to stay safe when leaving an abusive relationship, and when they can’t leave just yet: The Scarleteen Safety Plan
This whole “Salazar Slytherin wasn’t REALLY a bigot” post going around is like…very reaching, but okay, if you really want to defend the dude so badly. The dude who put a giant-ass killing snake in a school. which he definitely did, Voldemort would not have been able to raise a Basilisk in a few years.

With the Ansel Elgort situation going on, I just want to remind you all of this: DO NOT. IDOLIZE. CELEBRITIES. Yes, you can be fans of their work. You can admire how they give back and/or support good causes. There's nothing wrong with that. But to put them on a pedestal, see them as a "God", "Flawless", or "perfect" is truly stretching it. You never know how they behave behind the scenes, and most importantly, you don't even know them personally. So, when a certain celeb does something really screwed up that no one should ever condone (r*pe/s*xually assault, say slurs, etc.) what are you going to do then?
Celebs are not worthy of praise unless it's for their work. And they are not Gods. They are just regular people who are just more recognizable to the public.
So, if your fave has done problematic things, you need to rethink how you see them. If they've done inexcusable things like Ansel did, then you need to find someone different to be a fan of. If they made a mistake years ago and it just came back into light, don't go "so-and-so is over party". That's just childish. If they acknowledge their past mistakes and apologize for it, forgive them, but don't put them on a pedestal. Because like I said earlier, celebrities are human beings, and as humans, we're not perfect. You, the person reading this, aren't perfect either. So don't think big name stars are no different.

jeff bezos: now that i’m the richest man on the planet with a net worth of over 100 billion dollars
jeff bezos: how about i create new ways to fuck over my employees and underpay them
jeff bezos: i’ve got it, i’ll legally not pay them while they’re still on the clock, and i’ll get the supreme court to agree with me
me:
this is gonna be controversial (lol), but y’all gotta remember blogs aren’t celebrities with their own PR teams.
if you find something a blogger said insensitive, it probably is! privilege & social environment leave way too many blindspots for that to never happen. and it’s super okay to alert people to their blindspots! but do so with the awareness that those not used to having their speech policed by strangers may respond with baffled defensiveness if you come at them aggressively.
and when that happens, whipping out the “you’re not the man I thought I married” speech, and giving yourself permission to go into full cuss-out beast mode is like………………unproductive and kinda mean-spirited
