i do think the toxic positivity about media is extremely ridiculous, bc not only do people start dying on the hill of defending labour rights violations and racist writing, they will also go to the extent of dredging out literally anything they can find to prop up their argument, including genuine irl right-wing propaganda points.

yes, this is about that truly cursed post going around with like 400 notes, of someone going "uwu i don't want to overstep as a white american!! i know fandom can be sooo hostile to south asians and i'm an nice antiracist ally, of course. but here's the Facts I Just Learned about hinduism. number one: it's conceptually interchangeable with the country of india. number two: the lotus symbol is progressive and abolitionist. furthermore, the colour teal and snakes are important (citation needed) so that means My Blorbo (who has teal and snakes and flower petals) is actually SOO well designed. and anyone who doesn't like her is dumb for not seeing the depth. the depth that totally exists, and that i didn't just make up right now :)"

and then people who also do not know anything go "so true, bestie! <3" and reshare it. despite it being straight up misinformation at best, and talking points justifying fascism and religious violence at worst. but thank god someone was willing to defend Blorbo.
