Y know what, I'm just gonna start behaving the same way about female characters that some fans are about male characters.
Oh there's a new Re game with Leon as a lead? I'm gonna spam every post about it with stuff like "hopefully Claire shows up and we get to play as her for the most part of the game" and "oh you guys don't understand I can't relate to these male characters so I need to push my fave female characters into the centre of everything all the time :)"

INCREDIBLY CONCERNING SPIKE IN ANTI-BLACKNESS IS HAPPENING RN.
Some of yall may have heard some of the shit that has been going on right now. I'm gonna give a quick run down of some of the stuff that has been happening. Note, this is not all, and it may never be all as much as I will try to update this.
(I am going to try and compile and briefly explain these as much as I can. There may be misinformation. Please inform me if I got something wrong.)
(This will also be updated with additional information and new topics added.)
1) Racist Chinese Dolls.
There are these dolls in China that are being called "Natasha" baby dolls. These dolls are not only very obvious caricatures of black people, but they are being advertised as a "stress relief" in which the people who buy these abuse it in various ways.
This links to a video of a compilation of the various "uses" of the doll. There are more in the replies of the tweet. (Another link to the same tweet just incase)
2) The Mocking, Abuse, and Dehumanization of Black Children.
Apart from the aforementioned doll, there are apparently people going around mocking, abusing, and dehumanizing black children.
Some people have compared black children to the doll.
Others have been going into African countries and have found ways to mock, abuse, and dehumanize black children for clout.
(Source 1 + Full Video) (Source 2)
There are more videos surfacing.
3) Black people are going missing.
Black people, especially children and teens have recently been going missing at an alarming rate. Some of these same people are turning up dead, deaths being ruled as "suicides."
While it generally unknown why many of these people are going missing, many suspect that their disappearances, deaths, and even lack of coverage is rooted in anti-blackness.
The following is a list of black people that have been reported missing as of recently. Please note that this is not a complete list (it may never be completed due to the fact that many of these disappearances will still occur as time passes) this may contain inaccurate information. Please inform me if that is the case.
By the time you see this, some of these people may have already been found either alive or deceased. This post will be updated overtime.
It is also heavily encouraged that you reblog this with more links to recent cases of missing black people if you are aware of any that aren’t included on this list.

A viral social media post stating there have been 63 Black children reported missing in Virginia since April 1 underscores a serious issue i
From one white neurodivergent queer person to god knows how many others, your queerness or neurodivergence does not put you in the same shoes as POC. There is no cocktail of labels that can cancel out your whiteness and make you incapable of being racist. You need to be normal about this fact.
Hold up, hold up, Easter decoration witches??? Was that supposed to be Halloween or is there some witchy Easter stuff I have never heard of before?
Wait I forgot everyone doesn't do witches for easter. have some:
These are all very Halloween/evil with influenced to me. :/ The traditional Easter witches are joyous and colourful! They wear colourful scarves on their heads and colourful skirts, not black clothes and pointy hats. They are usually pictured flying on a broom with cats and copper coffee pots.
IIRC, this is a post-WWII blend of traditions!
In the eastern, largely Orthodox Christian, part of Finland there was an old tradition of children going around on Palm Sunday, waving pussy willow branches, wishing a blessed Easter and a good year overall to people, and getting some small reward.
In the western, almost entirely Lutheran, parts of Finland there were a lot of traditions and superstitions about witches ("trullit", ultimately from Swedish troll and trollkarl, "magician") going around between Good Friday and Easter Sunday to curse their enemies or to steal luck from others, with people burning bonfires to scare the witches off.
After the Second World War, Finland lost 10 % of its land to Soviet Union, including most of Finnish Karelia. The people of the ceded regions were almost entirely evacuated and resettled elsewhere in Finland.
This brought the western tradition about witches in the Eastertime, and the eastern tradition of children going around with the willow branches, together and as the old superstitions faded and the society secularized overall, they blended.
So now we have children dressed up as witches (or in other costumes) going around with decorated willow branches, and getting candy and similar in return.
If this sounds a lot like Halloween, only in the spring instead of the end of October, you're not wrong! The two main reasons Halloween has had only superficial influence in Finland is that 1) we have a home-grown similar tradition already, and 2) it's generally dark, cold, rainy, and all-around miserable in Finland around Halloween, making it about the worst possible time of year for a holiday where kids put on costumes and go from house to house in the evening.
Hey white people. Fat is not an ethnicity. You are an oppressed group who deserves so much better but fat is a body type anyone can have or develop. White fat people have no right to speak over black people and the trend has been common for decades even tho fat is not the new black, nor disability, nor transness when there are black peoples, native peoples, brown and asian peoples you're straight up the fuck ignoring.
This is a blanket post because I am talking about fat white people, a beautiful group irregardless who taught me alot about self love and autonomy but that is why I am reminding you what I reminded my dear friends growing up.
You are a real minority but you are white first. And it shows in your values from how you came up. It shows in critical lack of class solidarity. It shows in the privilege to not have to unlearn baseline insecurity, harassment behaviors, racism and misogyny.
This is no chastisement, just a reminder. If people like you taught me things, its my turn. The hillbillies I grew up with taught me that they were white first and fought for and with me because of that truth of privilege.
This is the class expectation I expect from black people and white people who follow me. One side is handling these expectations better and it hurts all of our growth.
Reblog this, won't ya?
white women are always like “more strong kickass female leads!” and when i say i want to see a black female love interest who is allowed to be girly and fall in love they give me weird looks and say that i’m supporting gender stereotypes and heteronormativity but what a lot of white women don’t get is that black women we’ve had hundreds of years of having our femininity ripped from us, of being deemed unworthy of male (especially non-black male) attention. black women in media are never allowed to be the “cute” ones or the love interest, we’ve always been the “strong kickass street smart woman” trope that white women want so badly. so basically if a black girl says she wants to see another black girl fulfill the role of “love interest” there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that and it isn’t a hindrance to feminism
Not gonna lie, I feel the strong need to put Jill through the horrors... again
fanfic isn't an act of activism by the way. it's a fun hobby. writers write whatever they want for themselves as their silly little getaway/self-care. if you want "more representation" of something in fanfics, then you write fanfics about that thing you want. nobody is stopping you. but saying other fanfic writers as a whole are "the problem" or are "to blame" for "not including xyz" or "not writing about xyz" just isn't how fanfics and hobbies work.
i feel like this is more nuanced than “just make your own fics”. while yes, no one is owed representation in someone’s personal works, i do feel that it’s important to step back and think about why we write the things we write about.
so many people in fandom spaces are allergic to nuance when it comes to their internal biases— especially in regards to racism (which, i know the original post wasn’t explicitly about, but i feel it’s important to name).
i've mainly seen this on twitter (of course) but when someone asks “hey, isn't it strange that most fanfic is centered around white men? even in media with women and people of color?” hordes of people who feel threatened will always show up in the comments to argue that “people have preferences!!! why do i have to write about something i’m not interested in???”
take sinners for example. 99% of the cast in the movie is black. but when you look at fandom spaces, you'll see an insane amount of focus on remmick and mary—the white/white-adjacent characters. before i watched sinners, i thought mary would play a much larger role given all the talk about her.
i don't think it's wrong to enjoy remmick and mary as characters, but i just think it would be helpful for people to take a step back and ask themselves why fandom is like this.
again, you’re free to write about whatever you want. go write your remmick fics, i won’t stop you. but if you notice a trend in your behavior that leans towards always seeming to neglect black and brown characters, or lesbians, or any other marginalized group considered “less than”, maybe do some introspection on why your “silly little getaway” is segregated. 🤷🏾
I think all the "fanfiction is escapism!" people who use that phrase to defend from not including BIPOC characters in their work need to examine why their escapism involves people of color (especially Black and brown people) not being present.
It's the exact same as the gamers who complain about too many people of color in AAA games since they want it to be "their fantasy", only more insidious because it's wrapped in the "fandom freedom" discourse.
I've already seen people in the tags make this about shipping or darkfics or whatever. NOBODY is referring to those when they say "representation". Use your brain please, white tumblr user.
i love u jill valentine
