‘Deny, attack, be the victim’ is called #DARVO.

Men use it all the time when cornered. The yelling and abusive tone are tells.

You put horrible men into positions of authority and they selfishly break the system.

DARVO refers to a reaction perpetrators of wrong doing, particularly sexual offenders, may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior. DARVO stands for “Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender.”

i feel like slughorn is a MUCH better example of a flawed but lovable character than snape and yet here we are

slughorn says stupid crap like expressing shock that muggleborn wizards and witches can be so talented but he also treats all his students equally in terms of academics, point distribution and desire to educate. the slug club is an example of his slytherin ambition but literally all he seems to want is like. to have his letters read and some free candy and to live comfortably. he loves his students a lot and actively avoids associating with death eaters. he believes in merit above all and is wowed by skill and character regardless of blood status or background. hes a nice flawed old man and hes way better than snape i dont CARE we stan the real potions master

slughorn pineapple potter, you’re named after the okayest man i ever knew

“I’m still alive!”
“Sometimes I can still hear his voice.”
