STOP TAGGING POC SIDES WITH BLACK LIVES MATTER OR BLM.
STOP PLEASE!
ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE ATTACKING THE FIRST PERSON WHO DREW ROMAN AS BLACK WEREN'T RACIST'S THEY WERE PEOPLE OF COLOR OUTSIDE THE FANDOM WHO WERE UPSET THAT IT WAS CLOGGING UP THE BLM TAGS!!
NO THEY DID NOT GO ABOUT IT IN THE NICEST WAY BUT UNDERSTAND THAT BLACK PEOPLE ARE REALLY DONE WITH EVERYONE'S BULLSHIT RN AND SOME OF THEM LACKED CONTEXT FOR THE FANDOM AND SERIES, THEY ARE DONE BEING MISTREATED AND DISCRIMINATED AGAINST AND DISRESPECTED SO PLEASE TRY TO UNDERSTAND BOTH SIDES
THIS ISN'T THE TIME TO TAG FANART WITH BLM.
I have just found out about this so I'm trying to spread awareness!
Please reblog and correct anyone using the blm tag on ts fanart please!
I’m inclined to agree here, diversity is wonderful but -if you’ve been keeping up with the blm movement you might have seen this as well- using fictional characters as a means to post about blm is actually a bit on the no-no list right now. In the passed that kind of thing might have been more okay but right now, while the intent is pure, using characters to speak about it is trivializing in a way. And folks are angry and tired and do not have the energy to deal with any of it any more. The blm tag is being used to spread information about what’s happening where and recourses on how to give and get help so It’s important to keep that clear as well as respect the wishes of the poc running it. By all means you can still draw your poc sides but the blm tag is very serious and should be reserved for serious posts.
