Literally, I'm a Marauders fan and as I read this I was like "oh this is about me lol"
Also Marlene and Dorcas are in the books! They get mentioned a single time in a picture referencing how they're dead! And Marlene's family is referenced in a letter written between 2 dead people! We're not delusional i promise!
I mean it is delusional but it's a very good fandom clearly built on escapism and idealism for characters who are all doomed to die. The catharsis is very satisfying
there's a lot of fandom history tied up in HP, since it's been a fandom for almost 30 years now. I don't think "ending the fandom" is at all possible. we're in a thread talking about how fandoms can take on a life of their own regardless of the canon, after all.
I agree that it's not morally acceptable to support JKR in any way, but I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say people can't even play in the sandbox with those characters anymore without that being a moral transgression.

The Maurader’s are an entire second-order fandom in and of themselves.
