You know every time someone brings up Robespierre in a bad light or make grand acclaims I always want to just halt them and get on here to ask you, just cause, I hate it when people think the wrong thing about Marie just as much as you don't like people messing with Robespierre.
Awe, thank you very much!
Speaking solely from the fandom perspective, I also try to correct people's misconceptions about Marie Antoinette when I have the opportunity to do so. And I think I can be more effective in this arena than most, because a Robespierrist cannot be accused of allowing an incorrigible affection for royalty to interfere with their objectivity as they dismiss the "Let them eat cake" legends.
Likewise, I appreciate it when "royalists" return the favor. A royalist arguing against the Thermidorian legend has a lot more credibility to it than a Jacobin sympathizer arguing the same. If both sides of the fandom kept guard against calumny in their respective factions there might be much more harmony among them - and, thinking big, perhaps it would one day trickle down to the historians.Â
