it’s actually so wild to me that this fairly quirky YA type show gave both of its main characters deaths that can, in one way or another, solidly be considered hate crimes. they were both flat out murdered as a result of being A) gay and effeminate or B) brown (south asian, specifically) and you could argue whether or not those kids thought of it that way in the moment or whatever but the bottom line is that they would not have been in the situations that killed them if they weren’t of their respective minorities. like legitimately that is a ballsy choice for this kind of netflix show, let alone for the two Main Characters, and i respect it big time

wild as fuck how trans men on here can openly and flippantly accuse random innocent trans women of being pedos to drum up moral outrage against them quickly, and when people start to point out that hey, that’s insane, she’s never done or said anything like that, these shithead dudes are like “well she said something racist too or is into incest or raceplay or something else that’ll stick despite not being on any of her blogs so it’s like whatever” and then their audiences are just like ohhh ok and everybody forgets and forgives the blatant pedojacketing while keeping the fury of it after being mollified by whatever progressive sounding idpol they shit out. disgusting!

The way White stans decide who's racist or not based on whether they like the person or not should be studied.

Because why are Ryan Guzman stans acting like Lou Ferrigno Jr should be "cancelled" for his racists instagram posts, but Ryan Guzman should be forgiven for his racist takes on how he and his wife should be able to say the n-word.

And why are Lou Ferrigno Jr stans acting like anyone who's brings out Lou's past posts is a hater and just wants to "ruin his career" because of a ship.

You guys have no idea what it's like to start watching a show, a movie and you start liking one of the actors, then, bam, you find out that he doesn't like people who look like you or he doesn't respect people who look like you or he doesn't care about people who look like you.

And honestly, most of us don't have the luxury of wondering if it was a "one time mistake" or if they have "changed". We have to assume that's who they are, because more often than not, that's who they are when no one is around.

It's like that actor from the Boys who liked anti-Black tweets that were mocking a Black woman cosplaying a chatacter in his show. Who does that?

If you've never experienced racism, the best course would be to be silent first and listen to what peope have to say before putting your 2 cents in explaining how "it was all in the past".

i cant fucking stand it dude the fallout show is so fucking bad and noone on Tumblr seems to give a fuck? Nevermind the fact that it's violently anti black, that goes without saying, if you can somehow excuse the racism because I JUST KNOW YOU GUYS ARE, even the story and lore is absolute ass. Vault boy ghoul? Fr? Why the hell was the house in the beginning of the first episode modern style. The nukes were so badly edited it had me and my buddy crying out laughing. Why did Mr house want to nuke the planet. How did he agree to that and then still die to the nukes even tho the entire plot of nv for him and his survival is making an iron dome to blow up the nukes above Vegas like did he forget or???

and the absolute fucking disrespect to matthew perry for off screening him and all of new vegas. Benny is a tribute to a dead man who truly adored fallout and they don't even have the guts to let his memory live on. Fucking crooks

If you're writing an interracial relationship with a white half, queer or no, the white half, boy or not, has to be the one wining and dining and worshipping and proposing to and generally being in disbelief at the privilege of being chosen by the Black or brown half. Otherwise it's just tokenism for white people, not representation. We do not want to see ourselves worshipping some woobie bland white toast ass and need serious incentive for being put through your Get Out crap.

'It's from the 80s you can't be upset about racism from that long ago' Quick question are there people from the 80s that are still alive? Yes? Then why do you think that's ancient history?

Fun fact people were racist in the 80s and the people who were experiencing the racism weren't ok with it at the time. Those people both the racists and the people experiencing the racism are still fucking alive. Fancy that. And even, the racism from the 80s hurt future generations that weren't born at the time. Wow, amazing!

i wish we'd call transphobia what it is: transphobia more often and more comfortably tbh

every art critic, teacher or tutorial maker who tells you that your character designs must be conventionally attractive or appealing is a big fat liar

It’s odd when people go out of their way in fanfiction to make Daemon have a (white) daughter that he dotes and openly loves and has a good relationship with, but then turn around and either erase Baela and Rhaena or never have Daemon or their OC acknowledge their (black/blackish) siblings/daughters. Especially when you take into consideration that he’s a sh!t father to said (black/blackish) daughters in the show which is what most of them base their fanfiction off of 🤷🏾‍♀️

I really have no words for their behavior. The fact that they’ll go out of their way to create so many white OCs that way Daemon has a daughter “that’s like him” all while pretending Baela who’s his carbon copy in female form (and Rhaena) doesn’t matter is really astounding to me.

The fact that they don’t see themselves or don’t care or say they aren’t racist(and will use the excuse that Baela and Rhaena are white in canon yet they hardly have any more content than they did prior to the show which definitely shouldn’t be the case) will never not be funny.

We should have a ton of heart-to-heart daddy-daughter scenes. We shouldn’t want another character only put in to serve as someone’s surrogate daughter when he already has two very much real and alive daughters.

Even outside of Daemon these girls should be talked about, praised, used in romantic pairings, etc. We should see way more than what we are seeing for them. It’s all so weird, but alas that’s fandom life in this crazy fandom(and in most fandoms cause unfortunately anti-Blackness always seeps in).

Well, I now know what original story I'll be writing for Freedom February ...

Can't wait for people who use l33tspeak or are greek mythology nerds to immediately realize what is happening with the lore and are excited to see how it plays out.

[thottybrucewayne]

No, let's talk about it.

If it ever seems like there are very little active Black star wars fans in online spaces, just know reylos did that.

Even before the laying pipe situation and the freemyniggajay incident, a vast majority of them were either being viciously antiblack or closing rank around reylos who were being viciously antiblack.

They mass reported Black fandom blogs and propped up Black reylos whenever they were called out for doing so, they edited Kylo over Finn during intimate scenes between Finn and Rey then acted like Black fans were overreacting when we pointed out how racist that was, the mountains of racist fanfiction they wrote about finn then posted in the finn tag including one where he was a slave and so much more.

They worked hard to push Black fans out of these spaces and they did it on purpose, dont let the rebrand fool you.

[thetimelordbatgirl]

Generally envy the bitches on twitter right now trying to insist Mace Windu and Martha Jones and Finn won't victims of racist hatred in fandoms, because what fucking reality are they in and how can I get in.

[tianshiisdead]

tbh, defending against an abuser by making public the slurs they called you and how they told you to your face they hoped your people would be genocided, and then getting your words dismissed as 'fandom drama and cancel culture' and being told you speaking up is 'what makes fandom toxic'... this is why poc online either don't say anything or are driven out of fandom spaces lol

[beaft]

hazbin hotel hate is just fandom purists clutching their pearls. as a gore enjoyer, nothing is actually good or bad in terms of content they just hate the vulgarity.

the creator even had to apologize for making a jeffrey dahmer joke where hes in hell. its wild.

honestly it does kind of seem that way. i have little to no interest in ever watching it, but everything i've seen gives me the impression that people just didn't vibe with it (too edgy, automatic cringe response, whatever) and promptly tried to come up with reasons why it was morally bad.

[hingefreelester]

Honestly, if i am being unintentionally racist or bigoted in some other way, i would hope people feel like they can call me out on it
