With the matter of R/S, I've seen shippers say that JKR has ruined a 'perfectly good gay character': that they wouldn't be a fan of Lupin if he were anything but gay; that her putting him into an ambiguous heterosexual relationship was definitive proof of her own homophobia: claims which are pretty offensive and far-reaching. I know it certainly doesn't apply to the majority of R/S shippers, but there is a small and vocal minority who are acting with a particular vitriol in the aftermath of HBP.
I really don't wish to troll or anything, however, I never said that JKR was homophobic. If you read my post, it would have been clear that I loahted how Tonks' character was played out. I never touched the R/S element. I really wished you had read my post before linking me, becasue I never said that and I don't like being labled as something I'm not.
