for my next work, y’all gotta be ready for some extremely self indulgent shit bc lately I’ve been wanting to get sandwiched between Mohabbot and that’s probably what I’m going to be writing about 🫪

girl whatever

[hatosyscurls]

it tracks that the first author to financially benefit from a mohabbot fic being trad pubbed is a white lady whose response to receiving criticism for her racist depiction of a brown woman character was to block everyone and then post a weirdly apology-free apology statement

[hatosyscurls]

Samira to Amara? You have got to be fucking shitting me. You need to at least file the serial numbers OFF, my gal.

I'm getting madder.

[hatosyscurls]

okay so it's just Jack and Samira but with their names changed, no other differences.

and I can only imagine this audacity will pay off for her.

[falteringstars]

Before anyone comes at me, I wanna preface that I am a brown woman that is very much turned off by the fact that a white woman is profiting off of her racist Mohabbot ff (Body Talks). The entire situation about it being published has definitely led me to reflect on how I interpreted the story initially. I admittedly went into it blindly and didn’t see anything wrong at first but looking back at it, there were a lot of issues.

Some users in the Mohabbot space might disagree with me here but I couldn’t care less - I think it’s incredibly distasteful that a fanfiction written by someone who has been called out for misrepresenting a Hispanic woman with racist undertones is being Greenlit.

Personally, I also very much dislike the idea of a white woman having minimal understanding of the diaspora brown woman experience writing about a story that involves power play and a white man basically abusing his seniority. It’s why I stick to writing Mohabbot in the context of non-medical scenarios. Shawn himself has addressed the issue of his character pursuing Mohan during her residency.

One can argue that this is all just fictional and it doesn’t have to be that serious. It doesn’t necessarily mean it’s right. There are so many other well written stories out there that aren’t blatantly mischaracterizing Samira (or even Jack to an extent) or badly worded descriptions bordering on racist about the minority characters in The Pitt. You can write good fanfiction even in the actual Pitt verse without involving the exploitation of a resident.

And can we talk about how the author didn’t even bother trying to make the female lead sound less similar to Samira 😭 Samira being Amara?? There is so much to dissect here Jesus

SEPIDEH MOAFI as DR. BARAN AL-HASHIMI THE PITT | Season 2, Episode 15, "9:00 P.M."

[samirasystole]

isa briones didn’t act her ass of along with gerran and patrick only for her to NOT GET A NOMINATION and for these men to BOTH get nominated. emmy awards i’m at your door

[falteringstars]

The Pitt fandom’s problem with criticism and their microaggressions are getting out of hand.

Super upsetting how I got shat on by a large number of users for pointing out that Gerran as Whitaker had no memorable scenes this season and that the woc like Isa and Supriya, despite having much more substantial roles, got overlooked. The whiteness of it all is appalling. It felt like I had no room to even critique certain characters.

If the fandom is this hostile, I would rather not speak but I don’t have it in me to be quiet when there are so many God awful fans out there with such blatant microagressions who crucify anybody who even remotely has an opinion about this show’s white characters.

This years Emmy’s once again proves the rhetoric of Asian women having to work thrice as hard as their white peers with no guaranteed success or outcomes. We saw that with Supriya’s departure. We’re seeing that with Isa’s performance being overlooked. We’re seeing that Shabana’s screen time being reduced. I’ve experienced it myself in primarily white spaces. As a brown woman, it was extremely disappointing to see firsthand that this fandom is in no place to accept any sort of criticism.

This fandom is a prison. Season 3 is dead to me already.

[birdshoes]

and what is the point if the character who has been most impacted by robby's trauma and coping mechanisms, who has pushed back on his instincts when he was at his worst, whose relationship with him has the most potential for repair and reflection is just gone???

why squander that narrative opportunity to show us his growth? chances to force him to face how bad he let things get and that healing can be hard but repairing hurt and restoring trust matters?

[lotsvelvetmood]

guys i’m sorry don’t shoot me

but what on earth is gerran howell even nominated for

he had like two scenes where they gave him an opportunity to really act emotionally and none of them were important to the show

meanwhile supriya who is actually important to the plot, gave a wonderful and memorable performance, and was kicked off the show, gets nothing

[vaguedisapproval]

do these dumbasses realize that isa, shabana, and supriya were also not nominated last season, orrr..?

"leaving little room" for only the actresses of colour, weird.

isa being left out is genuinely such a slap in the face, when both patrick and gerran were nominated. out of all the actors i assumed would be snubbed, hers definitely seems the most egregious. supriya had some tof the most difficult days of her acting career, having to portray that panic attack accurately. shabana made me tear up with her acting after roxy's death. but sure, it's just a kooky coincidence that EVERY SINGLE WHITE CAST MEMBER WAS NOMINATED.
