#considering actual real world racism exists for NO reason other than intolerance/hate/systematic power over an oppressed group
Text
I don’t know. I just think maybe we shouldn’t compare potential “prejudice” against a fantasy species that literally eats people to actual real life racism
#someone commented on one of my kny fics that it was ‘racism’ that the demon slayers were so intolerant of demons#and within the context of the entire comment the ^^above was kinda what they were implying#and like…. the thing is…. perhaps within the context of that fictional world#there IS a prejudice against demons (as seen with nezuko)#but any ‘metaphor’ in regards to ACTUAL racism I just feel like should not be made there#considering actual real world racism exists for NO reason other than intolerance/hate/systematic power over an oppressed group#and comparing THAT to a fictional scenario where ppl hate x species because they EAT PEOPLE is not it#ANY ‘metaphor’ for actual racism in fantasy that hinges on there being a ‘reason’ for the racism (ie they’re dangerous) is terrible#and should not exist because as I said… the implications that victims of racism ‘deserve’ that racism is there#so uh…. not great I must say maybe that isn’t what we need to be comparing this to#idk they also compared the idea that humans eating livestock was the same as actual cannibalism so 😭#and they used the r slur in the comment as well so tbh there was a lot going on here that was Not Great#idk I just think some critical thinking would be nice on occasion and maybe DONT try and compare these types of things#it’s insensitive and also downright harmful in certain circumstances so like :/#obviously this isn’t a widespread thing I’ve seen it’s just this once but HOLY fuck No no that is Not the point#kaz rambles
