Hmmm… there is something so funny about how Hayden literally last year when on rant about how the world is in an “irony epidemic” and expanded on people’s obsession with making everything shallow, including her own work, bothers her. How things have lost sincerity and people are unwilling to engage with difficult topics so we can’t make the world better place or create meaningful art.

…. Just for months later, her fan base, who cheered said statement on, to immediately revert back to the mind-numbing, toxic waste vacuous black hole stan culture creates on the internet. They are exactly the thing they pretend to be different from or hate. The goal posting moving was hilarious. First it was - “those screenshots are fake”. Then it was “Well, look at how she grew up. She didn’t know better”. Just for Hayden, in a statement that I do not care for, to literally say in the first paragraphs she was 19 and fully knew exactly what she was saying/doing… and that she did it for shits and giggles? Black people, her black fans, are once again supposed to just take “it was a phase, I’m much better now” as an adequate answer to someone dehumanizing us. She admitted to willingly abandoning a progressive mindset for an ignorant one to “make her friends laugh”.

And I hate doing the this person is also apart of a marginalized community so they should know how much that shit hurts thing. Especially since as a black woman, I have learned yall hate us with no qualms about it. But yeah, it is very shitty to once again see a white famous person having a history of punching down simply bc they can.

There’s this idea that black people must constantly be benevolent even towards people that just saw us as human like three years ago. During these so called racist phases, do yall ever think about the black children that have to endure that shit from a young age? Or is your clutches on victimhood that strong.

P.s: the “a baseless attempt to assassinate my boyfriend’s character became the catalyst. He will address these claims in his own time and I support him wholeheartedly” is nasty nasty work.

i know i shouldnt be suprised but sinners being out for less than a week and already tumblr is fandomifying and 'poor wet pathetic cat'-ifying the main white man villain of the movie is so... disapointing??? like did the fucking point of the movie really go over your heads that badly or are you just willingly ignorant and stupid?

AND BEFORE ANYONE STARTS; im not saying you cant like remmick, he's a very interesting character, a great villain, and jack o'connell gave a great performance playing him, nor do i care if you think hes sexy, I think hes sexy

but i think to come out of a movie where vampires serve as a metaphor for how black american communities have the life sucked out of them by white people via cultural appropriation (remmick wanting to use sammie's gift to summon his own ancestors) and forced assimilation (all the turned vampires singing and dancing along with remmick's irish folk song and dance juxtaposed with the blend of cultures during sammie's song in the juke joint) and for your main take away to be 'aww the main villain is just a misunderstood sadboy' or 'idc abt the atrocities he looked sexy doing them (when the atrocities in question were racism)' then youre just being so disengenuous and antithetical to the whole point of the film?

and dont come at me with the 'let people enjoy things' bullshit, sinners is a movie FUNDAMENTALLY about racism and racial dynamics in the united states, and i do think focusing on your little y/n x [whiteboy of the month] fics and 'hes so babygirl' posts do actually stunt your own critical engagement with the message this movie was trying to convey to its audience

i think its also a disservice to remmick's character; the moral nuance that comes to light when you consider his position as an irish immigrant to the US, a victim of the colonialist british empire just like the black main cast (although in a very different way) and how, whilst his desire to reclaim his ancestry and heritage is understandable and even relatable, his pursuit of sammie and willingness to kill literally everyone else at the juke joint is allegorical for how, regardless of their own marginalisation, white people will prey upon and steal from black culture(s) and destroy/disenfranchise black communities to serve their own interests, and the movie is NOT subtle about this either, delta slim literally lays it out for us "white folks like the blues just fine, they just don't like the people who make them"

idk im yelling into the void here, the ppl im complaining about are never going to give a shit about racism or even just critically engaging with art when theres a new cute whiteboy to write fluff and angst about, but its just soooo annoying to see, yet again, how fandom spaces, which SHOULD be about uplifing and celebrating art in all its diversity and complexity, once again is nothing more than people ignoring anything that actually makes them have to confront reality and filing off the serial numbers to slot characters into pre-determined fanon molds so they can pump out incorrect quotes and coffee shop AUs en masse until the media iliterate heat death of the universe

it's always the exact same playbook when it's a woman of color: "omg #girlboss she deserves so much better than him!" -> *never talks about her again* -> *100000000 posts about their pet white ship*

the only addition this time is this weird insistence that gemma MUST and WILL die a VIOLENT TRAGIC ON-SCREEN DEATH (so mark and helly/helena can kiss) and that anyone who disagrees or theorizes or hopes for a different outcome is a shallow casual fan who's too stupid to understand what tragedy is.

but then again i guess there's nothing new about a voyeuristic desire to watch an asian woman violated on screen. or about people on tumblr salivating at the mouth for a woman of color to get out of the way (via violent death if necessary) so their white faves can kiss.

maybe gemma does die idk! i'm just personally glad that my digital footprint will not include a record of me watching a depiction of an asian woman subjected to horrific torture where my SOLE, PUBLIC takeaway was fantasizing about watching her get violently killed

catching up to the gothic discourse prove my suspicion that a lot of people are afraid to wallow in discomfort when it comes to discussing heavier topics in the genre, without resorting to meme/shitpost talk. like, no, someone pointing out that count orlok assaulted ellen or lestat being abusive is not the same thing as being "puritans" or "an anti". neither does pointing out the racism in the genre. stop getting defensive when someone was being objective in their discussion, and not indulge in fanon rose tinted glasses.

I have a question about modern fcc. Why you insist on Myrah being a baby machine? Like you said maybe 2 years ago that she is much more than just a mother so why you write her as such that only when she popped up 4 babies (and wants to have 5 one because she has middle age crisis and wants to be 20 again) she is worth something? If they had only Baelor it'd be alright, her worth doesn't depend on whether she births 10 children for targ dynasty lolll

I was thinking about just blocking you (like I’ve done for most if not all the ignorant frankly delusional people I get in my inbox) but I actually want to show people why I genuinely dislike writing for this fandom now. Not saying my writing is perfect or I haven’t made mistakes bc I know I have but like really…. Is this necessary???
