That being said, make sure to know and exercise your rights. This post outlines what is needed to detain someone, and what to do if you are detained by ICE.

Raids are suspected to continue in large metropolitan cities, with a focus on cities that are considered ‘sanctuary cities’, I will update the list if more places are suspected to be raided. Stay safe everyone

Sometimes I wish people in fandom would not insist that it is utterly impossible for any story to be harmful.

I agree that censorship is not the way to deal with harmful stories, and also that so many stories called harmful actually aren't. (Desire and sex are not inherently harmful.) However...

A story about how Martha Jones as a Black girl is obviously too stupid to be a doctor is harmful. A story about how Lt. Uhura is an evil bitch who should be thrown off the <i>Enterprise</i> ASAP is harmful. A story about Tony Stark taking over Wakanda because Africans are incapable of managing valuable resources without squandering them is harmful. All those stories I had to wade through when I first got into slash, where the female canon love interests were Flanderized into horrible harpies to "justify" the slash, those were harmful.

Stories which drag real-world bigotry into fandom and present it as truth to massive accolades are harmful. Especially in a way that stories that use kinks that are rightfully seen as inexcusable IRL are not.

The response to such stories is not censorship, for a whole bunch of reasons I'm not getting into at the moment, but it does make it harder to deal with such stories, and to feel welcome as a POC in fandom at all, when people insist no such harm can exist. My AO3 # is in the low four digits but sometimes I wonder if the rest of my fellow AO3 denizens think POC belong there at all.

[diversehighfantasy]

Many do not. If I've learned anything in my years in fandoms, it's that.

This whole thread by Dr. Pande ("Squee from the Margins") is on point, and it doesn't let anyone off. It's not just other corners of the fandom, as much as people love to say that they never see racism so they must be doing something right. If you never see it, you probably don't see it when it happens.

[gillipop-plus]

anyone have a link to the thread?

Click on "View on Twitter" above :)

Yeah clicking they just tells me they have limited who can see their posts. And I, despite being logged in, cannot.

Oh sorry, I didn't notice the lock icon. To paraphrase the rest, she pointed out that fandoms will sometimes push back against overt racism against characters of color, but as soon as someone points out shipping patterns that erase or undervalue characters of color, they're labeled an "anti," an enemy of fandom itself (something I've experienced first hand). And basically that until that stops, saying that fandoms broadly work against white supremacy is not true or productive.
