Petty Musings Of Meat

Anonymous account documenting and discussing racism in the AMC Interview with the Vampire fandom. Inbox open if anyone wants to anon comment about racial topics in AMC IWTV (fandom or show) for the tags. It's ok to tag me on posts if u want to. This account doesn't follow anyone or use DMs.

[ca-suffit]

Just want to clarify for the billionth time (and I'm pinning this shit) that I don't run this account anon out of cowardice or to hide anything or bcuz I want ppl to perceive me as one racial identity or another (there's prbly more on this list, I've been accused of so much shit). I do this anon so we can focus on the topic itself, bcuz I've seen this fandom for *years* use everyone's identity across a whole spectrum to say that there's a flaw in their existence and that's why nobody should listen to them. It's always only on topics of race and/or fandom racism. Cuz the bottom line is that *nobody* is supposed to talk about this or bring attention to it. Ad hominem attack page of the white supremacy handbook. I've already exposed that this obsession with my identity is why white fandom ignores that I'm here. They've been v willing in the past to go after every individual account before me that had a known identity behind it, for doing *far* less than anything happening here. Yet when I show up and start going after them harder than anyone else, all at once, they just ran and suddenly shut up. They couldn't talk about "secret" bullying anymore when someone is standing right here saying hey let's fucking talk. They had no identity to use as a distraction, so they ignore me. I don't care what identity ppl want to say I am, what gossip is done in DMs and inboxes. That's typical for here and every fandom. I want to ask why my identity matters tho? What does it fucking matter who I am. There is no reason to care, so ask why they do. What is the goal in "exposing" me?? Do u think I'd stop if u did? Do u think anyone here cares?? It's not even an account about me. It never was but it *especially* is not now. This fandom's (and all of them tbh) ad hominem attacks like this rely on ppl being afraid for their reputations and egos. I don't have that fear. U must be fucking joking if u think I made an account to document and discuss fandom racism, after years observing this shit here with fucking Anne Rice fans, and u think I'm scared of these threats. U think I didn't see this coming.

I'm not here trying to get Sam Reid to notice me or w/e the point of these ppl otherwise seems to be. I've got receipts on most everyone's ugly, racist behavior so if he ever wants to know about that then hey. Don't act like it's *my* fault u did that shit and ppl remembered it.

This is also why ppl here think reputation matters to everyone, bcuz it matters to *them* for this v specific reason. All u ppl who have hated the show since the beginning and are now on ur knees when it gives u attention u crave so much. Fucking embarrassing. And u think that's the way all of the rest of us are lol. I don't rely on random celebrity endorsement to fulfill the void in my life, I have an actual identity.

The more u do this, the more it proves my point that *ur* only point is personal harassment to shut ppl up. So kiss my fucking ass.

@cuntstat the absolute cringe arrogance you showed by coming here and shutting down a healthy and personal conversation that does not involve you like the massive fucking idiot you are, is disgusting. You are an ignorant fool who deserves to get piled on with all the hate in the fandom for the drivel that came out of your ass. Fucking humiliated for how STUPID you are. This blog isn't about THE SHOW VS THE BOOKS YOU IDIOT IT'S ABOUT THE RAGING RACISM THAT IS RAMPANT IN THE FANDOM. Case in point you. I feel terrible for that anon to be attacked by such a moron as you, when they came here to discuss a relevant issue in a safe space. IT'S IDIOTS LIKE YOU WHO MAKE ME HATE CHARACTERS SUCH AS LESTAT, ONLY BECAUSE OF HOW STUPID YOU ARE. You think adding a "cunt" to your braindead name makes you sound all smart and edgy? I'm humiliated for your parents for raising you.

Thank you for this blog, people like you are so rare in this fandom. I checked Autumn's channel, Sam's interview has 100k views and Jacob's interview has less than half the views, 49k, despite him being the lead for 2 seasons, not to mention that most of the comments under his video are still about "Slam Reid", or Sam/Lestat in any shape or form. I'm not surprised that Amc and the showrunners are trying to appease this part of the fandom so badly, they know Anne Rice and the VC have a predominantly white audience and they want to milk the cow. I agree with you when you say "this show is gonna nosedive bcuz they're chasing these nerd asses", they are confident that that's where the numbers are. I'm here for Jacob's astonishing portrayal of Louis and I would certainly stop watching if his role was significantly diminished, but except some die hard Loustaters, the majority of these white women are only interested in watching Lestat.

Ty for the comment ❤️ I'm glad ppl can have a space to vent here, although I obviously wish it wasn't necessary.

As a black viewer (in response to the other anon) , I have to say that the lack of understanding in (seemingly sparse) conversations surrounding the importance of race and blackness/anti blackness is extremely frustrating in the fandom. Blogs on here who are so tied to/fans of the book never seem to want to have these conversations. They are so hung up on the book the book the book and the facts of the book and ignore that this show isn’t directly pulling from the book. It’s inspired by, with the same storylines just told differently, with the same characters played by an array of actors. People on twitter (most of them because i have seen a few people bring of this up and get blacklisted by fandom) never want to talk about this. A lot of journalists as well. I wish the podcasts were still a thing because the host, a black woman, discussed race in relation to the story and how it impacts Louis/Claudia. Instead we got - in addition to articles/etc- interviews with mostly or all white fans on YouTube with the cast. No shade to them because they seem fine but to can a podcast that discussed important topics like antiblackness/racism, being black in that time period to instead give space for these fans to ask the cast questions that never cut into the meat of it all or dive into those topics whatsoever is… a choice. An insulting and disappointing choice. About the depiction of that in the show especially season two, it did make me uncomfortable. It was hard to stomach. Without the intent to normalize the storytelling choices at all, I can’t say I’m surprised they decided to depict that the way they did. The showrunner is white and who knows how many of the writers are as well or simply not black so there’s a very serious lack of understanding the impact this has on a black audience. Claudia was always going to die in the show no matter what because the writer for the book series this was based on had a daughter who was the inspiration for creating claudia who died young. Having said that, it could have been handled differently in the show knowing that they’re in Europe in the 1900s with two black characters. Rollin (the showrunner) casted a black actor to play one of his main characters so he was already aware that Louis would be treated differently than say if he was a white Louis. Thus, he was already aware of how Louis would be treated if/when Louis went to Europe because he and Claudia are black. He plans out storylines and I wish that could have been handled with more care and less triggering. I am aware that if Louis and Claudia freely traveled around Europe during war times and racism with no one - not a single vampire or human trying to attack or bother them- that there would be fans saying well you are just brushing over the reality of how Louis and Claudia would be treated. And yeah they would have. So all of this to say I understand where that anon is coming from.

Can I say that it bothers me to no end that - although I can grasp why- the consequences of some people’s actions specifically Armand - are not treated with the weight as it should. I do not know how this will be dealt with next season, but it has been said (about this story/characters) that since vampires live to eternity/for centuries, they learn to forgive heinous and the most traumatizing of situations for the sake of moving forward and healing. You can choose to forgive if you want if it serves you in healing because that is a person (or vampire’s) right but Armand killed and orchestrated the death of two peoples daughter. I don’t want to see two or even three seasons from now Armand becoming ‘buddies’ with Louis or Lestat. The writer of these characters said that if Louis and Lestat did have an actual wedding, Armand would be there and have a role in it ? Why would the man who killed their daughter have a role in their wedding? I don’t want to see something like that in the show. Fans excuse it because these are vampires with a non human experience but we are humans watching and will find it hard to forget something like that. If this was real life, a person or duo would not think twice about cutting someone off who killed their daughter. I will say to Louis staying with Armand after Claudia’s death, he doesn’t know that Armand planned and did that. He thinks it was all or mostly Lestat’s fault, which it wasn’t. Lestat we will learn was weak from Armand holding him captive so he couldn’t save Claudia- going back to the reality that Claudia was never going to be saved because the writer/creator of the book series had her die because she was inspired by her daughter’s death. Despite knowing that, it was troubling seeing these events unfold as they did nonetheless. All of this to say, I am aware that life for Louis and Claudia was never going to be rainbows and sunshine everyday with no racism or hardships. If the show attempted to portray their lives that way, it would be problematic. So I understand that Louis and Claudia will be faced with racism and hard times, but it’s how the portrayal unfolds. As for Lestat’s treatment of them, I’m glad there’s some semblance of remorse and apology that we never get from Armand ever. This is NOT me excusing Lestat’s actions whatsoever just to say that is the bare minimum lol especially for a white character because we know if he was lacking remorse and didn’t care, it wouldn’t go over well. At least we might see his consequences from his actions next season since it appears to be half focused on him and the rest still on Louis. There are limited number of episodes in a season so I am aware that there is only so much ground that can be covered in terms of consequences and fallout from these events. It is difficult having a lack of a black persons perspective in the making of the show because even if Claudia was always going to die and Louis was going to interpret the events wrong to end up with her killer, there is a way that could’ve been handled that didn’t cause as much triggering and distaste for black viewers

Part 2 also:

"Black anon here who sent an agreeing response to the other ask talking about their reaction to the lynching/racism- the book purists willingly ignore the reality that this book was written by a white woman who was racist and is now in the hands of a white man who does not understand what it is like to be a black person- black American man specifically - living and existing especially in the time period the first two seasons are set in, the early 1900s to present day or close to present day. The book purists focus more on ‘yes this is the Louis and Lestat (as endgame) show if you don’t like it then don’t watch’ and do not even try to give it the same amount of attention or understanding. They do not want to talk about the lynching and how traumatizing that is. It’s not like the showrunner doesn’t care but it doesn’t seem as if he’s as invested in telling that with as much intent as he is at portraying Lestat as interesting and memorable as this new version separate from Lestat’s of the past in media. Yes he cares about this new version of Louis portrayed by Jacob but to what extent because it feels as if the writing for Louis could have been handled with more care in numerous circumstances/situations. It’s not all bad/in distaste I do see instances where the portrayal of Louis is reflected with nuance and I don’t know if that’s Jacob it could be but he only acts to what he is given on the page. He does understand Louis more- not only as a black person but in terms of things he has discussed before like mental health struggles- I understand that this show is about vampires and complexity and a range of other themes but this can’t be ignored and should be handled with the same weight and intention as Lestat being developed as he has and will be for next season. It must be easier for the showrunner to see Lestat because he is also white, so there is a level of understanding. But Louis who is black in the show- he will never understand that experience of being a black American or a gay black American man at that- and yes he can research or consult with people if he hasn’t already- but I’m noticing discrepancies and that can only do so much when he doesn’t understand/live in that experience himself. This is not to say that Louis is unlikable or uninteresting because I find Louis to be very interesting and I very much enjoy him as a character however what he endures and experience feels like never ending pain. Yes he is guilt ridden and traumatized and depressed but that’s not all he is. Yes, this is his life story entangled with moments that bring out these feelings but I want to see more. I hope to see a shift to something else moving forward next season and beyond since the showrunner intends to do 8-10 seasons allegedly"

[ca-suffit]

I think what’s upsetting me the most about this show is that they’re so worried about upsetting white audiences but they have no problem triggering black trauma with their endless connections to anti blackness. I mean why have the trial turned into a lynching? why make all these callbacks to slavery and racism that obviously make your black audience uncomfortable when you’re going just to avoid talking about it with actors and producers because…white people are going to get upset? As if black people aren’t upset by all the references being made….

They are saying that Armand and Lestat participated in this brutal treatment of Louis and Claudia, lynched them and I’m supposed to just keep on watching afterwards because of what? the white man’s allure?? AMC really dropped the ball on this for me. Disappointing bc this show was phenomenal but the way s2 concludes is just callous. Episode 7 is unwatchable to me bc even with the coven’s death (which is pathetically short in comparison to what Louis and Claudia went through which is more bs but whatever) it feels like there’s no justice in the end. Claudia is dead and Armand and Lestat face no consequences for their participation in her death.

The more I get into the show/show fandom the more grateful I am that my first introduction to these books (+ the movie) was in an academic setting in a class where we discussed how vampires are portrayed in media/how they're often a reflection of the author and/or culture's biases, and are usually a metaphor for the author and/or culture's bigoted fears (usually against queer people, POC, and Jewish people). So when you read the book with that knowledge in mind from the start and your professor understands that you can't analyze vampire lit without addressing the racism/homophobia/antisemitism/etc usually present to some degree in these books, you come out of it with a wildly different view than people who read them uncritically and who are not also part of one of those marginalized groups might, and can see that oh yeah. The author's pretty racist and it shows! And if anything idk I have a greater appreciation because that's the way I was introduced to this universe, as it were, and a much greater appreciation for the show. I'll be curious to see how they handle things from here though, because they're now walking on a tightrope imo

I wrote a few responses to this but it wasn't satisfying me, so I'll try to be succinct. Ty for sharing this btw. My response is sort of a side rant wrt these topics and what I've seen repeated in the fandom for years.

The most annoying thing to me about this fandom is how willing a lot of book purists become to weaponize the importance of white queerness above all else when that's not even the main theme of the show. They will chastise show fans for not knowing the books but then misunderstand any themes from the show bcuz they've made it clear they can't relate to characters who aren't white.

If ppl want to get on a soapbox about queer issues, it needs to extend beyond whiteness or ur fucking useless. If ppl are trying to pass themselves off as academic on the topic of gothic literature and whatever else, it *has* to extend to including bipoc histories too or else it's not a full history at all. We have seen examples like gorrei / neilcfreak being abusive in antiblack ways and using white, Jewish identity as a shield for that. Vampires and other monsters have long stood for so many "others" in society, as u mentioned. The fact that many fans here choose to only examine that through a white lens, when the show is practically spoon feeding the audience about the black American experience otherwise (for the same issues they're always screaming are so important to them), is certainly a fucking choice.

[ca-suffit]

Do you think there’s any way to combat the recent racist characterizations of Louis in Devil’s Minion fics or is it too late? I went from being so excited for DM after the season 2 finale to completely avoiding the tag and their fans because of all their racism. Even some of their memes are racist and no one seems to call it out. It doesn’t matter if they stan Assad or Armand they’re still racist and anti-black.

There's never any single answer bcuz ppl feel all kinds of ways of what the "best" option is for dealing with this stuff. I personally prefer calling things out (obviously lol), but u will have to brace for the potential consequences of that if u do. I think it helps to bring attention to these things, but the racist side will always have bigger numbers and ways to harass ppl. It's just easier to recruit ppl to that side, especially since fandom spaces are usually v white (not that it's only white fans who are racist, we obviously know that's not the case from a lot of ppl here). It's v exhausting to continuously and long term keep calling out racism in any space, especially if u are personally affected by it too. This is why a lot of ppl in fandoms eventually form their own groups and stop paying attention to the fandom at large. But if there's a dedicated enough resistance to it, it can be pushed back. This is what I hope to help motivate when I expose how the fandom moves against ppl who speak out. If u know what's coming, u can better prepare for it. It will still take a toll, but it's worth doing.

your post about anne rice are interesting bc the way women are threated I was wondering if it was the show or the books, I never read the books. Then I learn from your anonymous message that Antoinette wasn't supposed to be a woman. Is there is any other genderbented character? maybe in the vampire theatre?

anne rice is p notorious for treating women characters like shit, u just don't hear about it unless ur in circles that will talk critically about her writing. a lot of her stuff is basic white feminism that ppl treat like it's deep when it's rly not.

the show def highlights the struggles and abuse of women too, but it's aware of what it's doing and, between all adaptations, it's been the most respectable version wrt the topic, in my opinion. it fleshes out the issues and characters instead of using them as one dimensional props.

off the top of my head, antoinette is the only gender bent character up to this point. the show otherwise mostly added a lot of characters or filled them out more than the book did. that's the only one that changed genders, but jonah is not a character from the book so the way they did that served a narrative purpose, just like the rest of their changes have so far. I guess it could be argued that book louis had babette, but that wasn't a relationship like jonah and louis had in the show.

Sima is popular on twitter with their sima_loustat handle. Almost 1k followers and many hit tweets. They even made a thread explaining they do believe in reverse racism but clearly no one cares

a lot of stupid shit gets popular on twt, just like here, bcuz a lot of fandom only cares about surface level and usually shipping focused things. it's not indicative of personal worth at all. ppl will try to tell u follower count or closeness to cast and crew make them better than other ppl, but it's not true lol. most popular accounts in this fandom are racist mean girls and ppl only cling onto them bcuz they have this false idea they must be "special" somehow and they want to be popular too. it's sad but done intentionally and it's not like this fandom is the only one that does it, it's most fandoms. these groups hype each other up to fake their worth and then aim at accounts like mine and say we're "bullies" to them for speaking out about anything (usually racism, big surprise). then u have a built in cult response for ppl to "protect" them, even tho I'm not doing anything to them. u will notice these groups have no issue doxxing and smearing ppl, as well as making claims of all kinds of abuse (always without proof). it's basic manipulation so they can play victim and gather "protectors." ppl have to stop falling for this shit.

anyway, I'm blocked so idk what the tweets said, but I def saw ppl on twt talking around about the reverse racism ones as some of the stupidest fandom tweets of the last week. she prbly blocks everyone, but I def see a lot confronted on twt more than here. ppl do notice.

[ca-suffit]

i'm often mad when loustat fan said Louis should have killed antoinette himself bc Lestat wanted just to be desir and confident. But it's not true. Lestat stay for decade with Antoinette and the point is it didn't matter if she lived or not because had Louis killed Antoinette, Lestat would picked another person. Louis understand it well and I'm tired of the fandom wanted Louis to always prove himself in whatever Lestat put up on him. Antoinette might be a white woman, I feel like her worst hater are white women... which is weird bc they are using her whitness as a way to hate her. I think they hate her bc she's a woman. Because Lestat's whitness and the fact he's a cis guy never bother his fandom. I can't take those view on Antoinette seriously. I agree she's not an interesting character, just Lestat's pawn. The only upsetting thing is Antoinette, as a white woman, had some agency. She had her own income, her reputation but she throw it away in favor of a man who never give a shit about her. Yes, I understand she was manipulated but it sting. If she didn't become a vampire, and just stay in relationship with Lestat, she would have turn like Serena Joy in the Handmaid's Tale (from the Book who was a soprano).

Antoinette is hard for parts of the fandom to come to terms with bcuz fandoms are mostly made up of white women. It hits closer to home for those characters to exist and be shitty rather than other characters that are more removed from how ppl personally identify.

I come and go seeing comments in all directions about Antoinette and it's bcuz she's a white woman who was complicit in antiblackness bcuz she expected to benefit from it herself in the end. She didn't and it called attention to why she didn't and made ppl reflect on that and feel uncomfortable. It is meant to be a sad story but also reflective and critical of how white women often move in the world.

Louis never could have killed her bcuz he knew that's what Lestat wanted and it was one of the ways he retained any semblance of v mild control in the relationship. As u wrote, Louis doesn't have access to the same protections as any of the white ppl around him, so he's learned how to survive otherwise using other means, even as a vampire. Lestat knows Antoinette upsets Louis and Claudia acts as his mouth piece on it multiple times (illustrating the burden that children often take on with dysfunctional parents, as well as the emotional labor often piled on black girls/women). Lestat keeps waiting for Louis to vocally tell him himself to kill her and he won't, bcuz he doesn't want to verbalize his feelings like that. He's protective of his emotions and feels he's been dismissed a lot on the few instances he's said things out loud to Lestat, so why keep telling him this hurts him when it's obvious?? Why react at all?? It's the only way he can protect his pride and also dig at Lestat's own insecurities at the same time. Lestat and other white characters are used to being loud and abrasive to get reactions, but that's not something the other characters who aren't white can v safely do in return, which is why it's a much rarer occurrence and typically followed by a great consequence to them.

anne rice never wrote lesbian relationship?! sorry i'm reading the fan vent you posted. can someone who read the books confirm this? cause everyone say anne rice wrote queer stories and it would be weird if there isn't any queer female characters. in the show,some blogs said we still 2 female characters alive it might be antoinette and one armand's coven....still yeah... if they killed off another interesting black female character... i'm still excited to see akasha though. i'll not think about the future :(

(context)

I don't think she ever did, no. I'm loose on remembering full details of TVC but Gabrielle (Lestat's mom) does smthing like live with and dress similar to another woman character in later books. Ppl have taken that to mean it was a queer relationship but that's all fanon.

TVC have women in the stories but they're v sidelined all the time and from what I remember, there's no other mention of any type of queer relationship between women there. The Claudia and Madeleine relationship the show did was more than TVC ever gave.

[ca-suffit]

i agree when it comes to female characters whatever their origins, I think the showrunners did the best they could. I did find weird that anne rice never wrote any queer female characters, it's all subtext. the books are really filled with sexism and while anne rice wrote the mayfair's witches, with a main female characters it's still full of incestuous rape and I couldn't believe amc took the decision to make an adaptation of those books. Just the whole stuff with 13 years old mona mayfair... I really never understand why anne rice wasn't comfortable with her female characters. anyway we could still have merrick in iwtv. they could change some elements of her plot.

tw csa

Anne Rice included a lot of themes that are popular and common still in modern stories and ppl tend to not understand the main difference of why ppl take offense to Anne's writing and not others. Case in point, this thread I responded to the other day on twt:

Here is the source (from her official website) for what OwlsGoldberg was referencing (thnx to them for sharing this link in the thread too) "O.K. I just read a book I recommend. It's called THE DEADLY FEAST by Richard Rhodes. The book centers around a man named Carleton Gajdusek. Carleton Gajdusek is a Nobel Prize winner and he's in prison--apparently for fondling a 14 year old in a shower. I have not seen the court record and I'm not in any way qualified to judge what goes on. All I want to say is that I highly recommend that you get the book. That the contribution of Carleton Gajdusek to medicine and to science has been fantastic and that I personally am looking into the whole question of child molestation, children's rights, because it concerns me. I remember being a young adult, and I remember being real angry that I wasn't allowed to do things that other adults were doing. I was working full time and I was living in a rooming house and I didn't like being classified as a teenager, because somebody wanted to sell me something expensive. I know I sound angry--I am. I am angry. But we've got to revise our concept of teenagers in this country. If we want to stop the crime in this country we've just got to realize that 14 and 15 year old people are adults, they are not children. And leading them to believe that there is a fundamental difference between play killing and real killing."

That's not even all of it for that twt thread, but u get the point. Nobody can ever criticize anything with Anne Rice without ppl saying it's just misogyny or ....whatever that accusation of queerphobia for a cast member is about (there was no clarification who that's referencing but I'm guessing it's Sam Reid bcuz this fandom rides hard for white queerness in him / Lestat at any chance, especially in order to silence other issues). It's always easy for these ppl to erase everything about anything else except "victimization" of a rich white woman. This only happens within the fandom too, as most ppl outside it don't respect Anne Rice at all for her behavior or writing....and that's without even knowing the depths of this kind of stuff. U couldn't pull this crap on any person on the street, they'd rightfully think ur terminally online and fucking weird.

Anyway, back to the point about themes. Anne Rice had repetitive themes that ppl will argue are for "the genre." The thing is tho....it has to still serve a purpose to the story to be any good. Most of the time (at least for my knowledge of TVC books), there isn't a reason to have these things present. She simply has a fixation on them and a lot of them are things that hurt women just for the sake of doing it. The reader is also uncomfortably made to feel like this is all supposed to be ok too, which is the main issue ppl have. It's not critical or intentionally envoking horror and dread....it's just saying "this is what being a girl/woman is" and giving the message to love ur abuser (most often a very old white man in TVC), which many survivors of a lot of things find triggering af.

Mentioning Merrick too, that's a character I rly liked and yet was wasted all over. The book with her name is narrated by David Talbot, this elderly, white, British pedophile, and we spend more time hearing his gross thoughts about her as a child and other similar shit in his life (always with underage poc) instead of spending time with her in her own head as an adult. Or Louis, for that matter, who is also more who the book is about than David, yet Davis is our narrator.

There's a lot more I could write but I'd never stop tbh. It's clear to most everyone who isn't finding excuses that Anne Rice just wasn't a good writer and had so many issues with misogyny and a lot of other things. I've never seen any other author excused so much from criticism, especially one who was so obviously known in life as being a rly unlikeable person, particularly to her own fanbase. If it weren't for other ppl, there wouldn't even be a fandom for her work. She v much almost destroyed it by herself.....but she's dead now, so ppl have been quick to start rewriting history and accusing others of anything they can think of to avoid criticism. Just like she always did.

i think the timing of LinCodegas WA announcement is related to their debut books release … they’re promoting it heavy on twitter

It might be, or they're grabbing the opportunity. I don't think the book is out until Jan 2025 but u can preorder it now.

Tbh I figured they had thin skin for criticism about themselves, especially about their book. In the first ask I got about them, I said it was a weird choice to make this character white (see the summary below) and I still stand by that.

This person seems fixated on white, queer topics only (the worst and most boring iwtv type of fan) and it's rly obvious and also obnoxious for someone bragging about getting a job with AMC IWTV. I would have given the book a chance still tho (to not judge it by its cover, u know the drill) if they hadn't shown they're such a dickhead who doesn't care about anyone but themselves. I literally handed them research wrt fandom racism and gave them a warning about the fandom's transphobia (with proof) and somehow that was a problem.

Tbh it's kinda funny how ppl speedrun outing themselves now, bcuz this account does hold weight here. Maybe if they researched anything they'd have known that.

Have you noticed renowned racist and transphobe Sima is back and her following count is climbing & her post engagement is higher than ever. It seems everyone forgot what a piece of shit she is

I haven't been able to check stuff as much lately but I just looked around and I don't see anything?? Is this happening on Tumblr? Was there a username switch??

In general tho, this fandom doesn't give a shit about anything when it comes to white fandom ppl. The only ppl u ever consistently hear "bad" things about are ppl who never did anything except be black and/or stand up to racism here. They'll protect their own kind no matter what and flock in droves to defend their reputations and play victims v loudly, so ya. It never surprises me when ppl "forget" anything here. It happens all the time. I remember the running theme for protecting Sima (loustat-0) is usually English being a second language and not being familiar with American topics......despite so many other ppl in the same situation not being racist transphobes either, especially when educated about these things every time it happens with her.

this is a bait ask and ur ass caught a block for this, but I'm responding anyway so I can point out ur poor attempts at manipulation here.

First of all, they haven't even had the damn job for *weeks* and I haven't been posting about this until the weekend. Lying about some "hidden" harassment is typical braindead crap u all love doing, and I'm sure ur swarming their inbox to say it's me too or "warn" them about me. Whatever, keep hyping ur fake drama for ur dull lives.

Secondly, if they're such an ally to racism, why weren't they doing all this for the IWTV fandom?? Why did they block this account?? Our single interaction (if u can even call it that) was me tagging them to a post to a) warn them (with a *lot* of proof) that ppl they're friendly with are ok publicly bullying / doxxing another white trans person and b) alerting them to this account as a resource for real voices of black and brown fans speaking about fandom racism / AMC's racism, the company they now work for. What reason was there to block me for that and why shouldn't I expose this hypocrisy??

Why is it so easy to keep demonizing me and endangering *other* white trans ppl without question or proof just bcuz u are obsessed with trying to identify me......all bcuz ur so triggered by conversations of this fandom's racist behavior?? Of ppl upset at how racist AMC has been acting?? Ur happy to shit all over other white trans ppl in my name, but I'm supposed to give a fuck about this other white trans person who just showed their whole ass enjoying being complicit with white fandom ideals?? Get fucked. Do u rly stand to defend all trans and/or queer identities or is this a convenient lie bcuz u love weaponizing white ppl's oppressed identities to coddle and excuse harmful behavior??

This is tired and nobody cares about this person and their stupid job title. They've shown they have no solidarity with anyone here on serious issues that are hurting real ppl so we aren't interested and we also don't need to be fucking quiet about that. Stop defending this bullshit. Go donate to that trans org u funnily enough have no problem smearing if u wanna rly act like u gaf about these identities. Doing this in my inbox isn't doing shit.

I never see this fandom stick up for all the black and brown ppl who exist here and are also trans and/or queer either. Those were usually the first ppl on those PSAs actually. I wonder why that is???? And why couldn't AMC be bothered to hire someone like that either instead?? All the time in the world to defend the identities of all these white fandom ppl and that's all it ever is. We all see through this. I tried to warn them, they chose to be an ass about it. V professional and such a big voice as a journalist wrt trans, queer, and antiracist work, obviously.
