what are you talking about

[alexios]

i've been thinking about this a lot recently but it can be frustrating to be a black man in fandom seeing the way black characters and their actors are treated. i saw it with preston, i saw it with vivienne, i'm seeing it again with wyll.

they're sidelined in art, they're written in ooc and borderline racist ways in fics. their actors are ignored at best. they're picked apart and criticized in a way their white counterparts are not. the traits they are lambasted for are the same traits a white character is praised for.

and then something big happens, like theo being skipped over for his chance to tell his story at that panel, and suddenly people care and are calling for more respect. people will pat themselves on the back and forget. but months from now when the next game with a prominent black lead comes the cycle will continue because a lot of people aren't actually confronting their biases and are just doing lip service for brownie points online. whatever.

many think i am autistic. i probably am. however we will not be pursuing a diagnosis because chasing the bag is more important

dragon age being brought into culture war bullshit by twitter motherfuckers who have not played the games or haven’t in over a decade ohhh i’m so sick 😭

amazing how a cisgender woman is now experiencing an intense wave of transphobic hatred because she doesn’t look “enough like a woman”. incredible work from the anti-trans crowd.

the fact that i have been fixated dragon age for all these years keeps me humble. every time i get a little too big for my britches i think "you obsess over the decisions you make for a worldstate in a game you've played for over 1000 hours by the way" and i sit right back down.
