How much longer are people going to stop pretending that racism isn’t a large part of fandom culture? And I don’t mean things like outright slurs or overt racism.
When are people going to stop pretending that things like micro-aggressive behavior or baity statements, holding POC characters to a different standard than white counterparts, whitewashing fan work such a gifs or fanart aren’t also racism? That their need to keep POC characters in a friend space with white ones and citing it as a ‘preference’ isn’t also racism?
because it is.
