i'm going to write my tech bro jayvik fic that has a specific focus on race and ableism in the tech space and i'll probably be connecting some other themes like the environment, data colonialism, etc.
and i think i might be the first to do this?
just talking about the tags here its so funny when people call the oppression in zaun racist like oh...so you do believe race and class are intertwined! tell me, why are you ignoring the deliberate choice arcane made to make the poc the oppressors

my real trans truth with jayvik is that viktor is transmasc and jayce is genderfluid/some type of nonbinary but ive been craving for transfem jayce and cis viktor these days
So I'm not going to become a frequent fandom blogger or anything but I think the discourse around trans Jax is hugely revealing of how audiences even for queer properties are viciously uncomfortable with transfemininity. We saw repeated denial of any symbolism despite explicit statements from Gooseworx and aggressive hinting, and frankly it wasn't at all subtle for anyone paying attention. Of the people I saw who were willing to concede Jax was obviously trans upwards of 90% were arguing for transmasc/man even though you would have to twist the story in knots to make any sense of that as an actual theory. Even post-finale where it was all but said explicitly people were (and are) very adamant in the belief that the character Jax HAS to be a he/him man no exception. Of course there's the generic posting from cis people about how there were 'no signs' which should be ignored but even now there's still people talking about Jax as both a trans woman and totally fine to use he/him for. I'm of the opinion that many people are just desperate to find a trans woman they can call a man and he with some plausible deniability of their own transmisogyny. Also, miss me with the fucking disgusting statements saying that Jax is representative of a 'huge and problematic' part of the transfem community. Her character is a cautionary tale, explicitly and obviously, for what happens when you bottle that shit up and don't have human connection. It's an extreme because it's fictional entertainment media, not a documentary. Seeing trans people (overwhelmingly TME) talking about 'male-brained' and 'female psychology' while fully making shit up to justify painting her as an abusive man. Basically, the internet and fandom around a property made by a trans woman with a nonbinary character and an extremely popular queer ship is still willing to do anything except acknowledge a transfem character and allow her to be complex. Just because she isn't a paragon of goodness who turned to camera to say "I am a she/her womanly woman and I save puppies in my free time" doesn't make her bad rep.

viktor on jayce's pussy
s1 jayce's clean-shaven fat pussy vs s2 jayce's hairy gonorrhea pussy
all things require balance #mytruth
i am scared of fandoms due to the vile amounts of racism and misogyny that i've personally experienced over there but i want to write fanfic...i've never written before though
i'd really only write arcane/jayvik fanfic though. my only ideas are
phantom of the opera (phantom viktor obviously but no character would be assigned raoul specifically)
trans viktor exploration (i mean i hate how the fanbase uses the hc to treat him as a quasi-woman. i would love to see commentary on how viktor would navigate his masculinity as a trans and disabled man, two identities that have their masculinity undermined)
or character studies
i watched a tiktok of an arcane fan discussing her gender/sexuality headcanons of all the arcane characters and said that viktor was a gnc trans man because of his s2 design and character themes. no hate to that person obviously; she seems very aware of trans stereotypes and later in her account mentions how jayviks fetishize transgender people but i really do think vikor would never be gnc or accepting of any sort of femininity if he was a trans man.
canonically his design later on is meant to reflect his rejection of humanity. i dont think he would be exploring gender or any of his feelings if that is the case and i could go on and on about this. the traits that get him labelled as gnc such as his long hair are a result of him not taking care of himself. the fact the time period in which he has the least amount of autonomy narratively is the time period he "explores his gender" also raises so many questions. etc. etc.
also because his transformation was motivated by his intense self-disgust, he would never associate himself with femininity. if anything, if viktor were canonically trans, it would make more sense for his later androgynous design to reflect him rejecting his own dysphoria and wanting to be inhuman enough gender doesnt matter as much to him anymore
ekko is the gnc trans man lets be real.

Lesson 1: Cross-Racial Solidarity And Asians As The "Model Minority"
Yes, Asians Are Oppressed
It's shocking how eagerly people will make statements such as "Asians are basically white." Yet I can see why even another person of color might come to the conclusion. Relations between Asian Americans (or Asians of any society in the West) and other communities of color have always been strained. Black and Latino Americans are aware, and correctly, that many Asian American communities have a trait unique to communities of color: racial superiority. Native Americans are hardly acknowledged, if at all, by Asians. Most non-Asian communities of color experience systemic racial oppression far more severe and longer lasting than Asians in the West have endured.
But to see Asian communities solely from that perspective is antithetical to cross-racial solidarity for all people of color. In addition to the erasure of darker-skinned non-East Asians in this train of thought, and in addition to the fact that playing 'Oppression Olympics' has never benefited any categories of minorities, the fact remains that orientalism, or anti-Asian racism, cannot be a footnote in the history of American racism and white supremacy.
The predominant theme running through the history of Asian Americans from the very first arrivals-this is, obviously, 1830s to this day-is the Perpetual Foreigner Syndrome. This sense that we cannot possibly belong is exemplified by the internment of Japanese Americans, 120,000 individuals, two-thirds of them born in this nation and therefore citizens, that we could not be trusted, that blood will tell, that we truly would be actually loyal to the emperor of Japan or to some other sovereignty or that we could never assimilate, that we would not be Christian, could not speak English, could not truly join, did not understand democracy, were inscrutable, would not somehow wish for the same freedoms that others whose forbearers had come on the Mayflower wish for.
-- Frank H. Wu, UC Hastings College of the Law, 2016
Asian Americans, I would argue, are among the predominant cultures regarded as foreign, unknown outsiders. In a 2022 study, Asian Americans were the least likely to feel that they completely belong and are accepted in the United States (29%) compared to Black Americans (33%), Latino Americans (42%), and white Americans (61%). From the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 to the 1922 Supreme Court decision that Asian Americans were not naturalized citizens because they were not Caucasian to the surge in anti-Asian racism during the COVID-19 pandemic, the truth is that Yes. Asians are oppressed.
During World War II, 120,000 Japanese American citizens (citizens, not those on visa- citizens of this country) were uprooted and told to pack bags to internment camps for the simple crime of their ancestral origin, which alone certified their guilt in potentially being a spy. A portion of those interned (known as "Nisei" - second generation immigrant children) could not speak Japanese, and had never been to Japan. This was not done against German Americans, nor Italian Americans. They had to work unlike fellow white Americans to prove their nationality. The 442nd Regimental Combat Team composed of Japanese American Nisei remains the most decorated unit in American military history for their work in WWII Europe. But not Asia. Japanese American troops were not permitted to be sent to Asia.
Lead to the Model Minority
In 1966, a New York Times article by a white author thus lauded the hard work that prevented Japanese Americans from becoming a "problem minority". At the same time, the war on crime and criminalization of Black Americans was beginning. It was in this context that the "model minority" myth emerged, casting Asian Americans as hardworking and quiet, villainizing Black Americans. (It should be said that this does not justify the antiblackness in Asian American communities, only provides contextualization in a systemic lose-lose struggle between two communities fostered by whiteness, who continues to benefit in the end.)
Part of the reason API people avoid it is that they can see the way Blacks and Latinos are positioned… and they don’t want that, so they’ll do something different and hope for a different outcome… Those are the two big ones: a lot of pressure not to talk about it, and then a lot of pressure to disassociate from Blacks and Latinos.
-- Participant in a ChangeLab study about Asian Americans and race
Disclaimers.
Now that we're talking about #StopAsianHate, I see being both Black and Asian — the bridge between both of these communities and how similar they are. And sometimes I just get frustrated, because we're both not seeing each other's humanity and unifying as much as we should.
-- Johnathan Gibbs, Blasian activist
It is, however, crucial to remember that the 'model minority' stereotype in America very heavily focuses on East Asians, namely Chinese, Korean, and Japanese Americans. South and Southeast Asians, especially darker-skinned Asians, rarely feel a connect to the "model minority" stereotype. The demonization of dark skin and skin lightness hierarchy in Asia continues to reflect the effects of antiblackness even as an internalized system for Asians. Another notable element is mixed race Asian and Black American people (mixed race Asians of which many more lessons could be written on alone). As those who face both antiblackness and orientalism, their perspectives are especially important when considering cross-racial solidarity.
They're like, "Black Lives Matter and yes, this is happening to us too, but the root is white supremacy. But then you have this sector of the population... that are like, "Well, they don't understand that Black people have been going through this," and then they'll say, "Well, Asian people have gone through the Chinese Exclusion Act." But girl, slavery happened. Then you get into what everybody labels as the "oppression Olympics," and I don't do the oppression Olympics because there's no comparison. I say this as an Asian person, there is no comparison to what Black people have gone through in the United States of America since 1619.
-- Johnathan Gibbs
And the last disclaimer is that though I said we should not play 'Oppression Olympics', in a discussion like this it is vital to acknowledge that Black Americans have been facing significant amounts of systemic racism, and it is not reducing American orientalism to a footnote to say that.
So What's the Solution? Yuri Kochiyama, Malcolm X, and Cross-Racial Solidarity
Yet despite this shared struggle, divergent goals and interests “sets our two communities apart and pits us against each other. […] Racialized disinformation […] sustains white supremacy. It can also be weaponized to disrupt cross-racial solidarity among different communities and ultimately uphold the tenets of white supremacy power structures.
-- Phan, a research analyst with the Asian American Disinformation Table.
But I have spent all this time talking about how these communities are different, oppressed differently, put differently against each other, all while focusing on differences is still not the solution.
Black-Asian solidarity is not new: Frederick Douglass argued against the Chinese Exclusion Act, political activist Yuri Kochiyama was an ally and friend of Malcolm X, and Jesse Jackson stepped away from his presidential campaign in 1992 to protest the murder of Vincent Chin. Japanese Americans’ push for reparations for internment during World War II was modeled on the civil rights movement of the 60s and 70s.
-- Joseph Williams, The Long History of Black-Asian Solidarity, 2023
Japanese American human rights activist Yuri Kochiyama was the one by Malcom X's side cradling his head in her lap after he’d been fatally shot at Audubon Ballroom. She had directly contributed to the passing of the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, which guaranteed reparations for former internees of the Japanese American camps (including herself). But the majority of Kochiyama’s influence today stems from her work in cross-racial solidarity through grassroots activism.
She helped connect Asian American activism to the larger Civil Rights movement, and formed unity between diverse communities. Based in Harlem at the height of the movement, she worked directly alongside Black and Latino communities, and through her work, Kochiyama demonstrated to all that the fight for justice does not define those by their differences, but by their willingness to stand together.
The same exact playbook is being used against both Black and Asian communities. So if we don’t stick together, the playbook that wins against one of our communities will absolutely win against the other.
-- Phan
Generative AI and the artist discussion is such a distraction from AI’s military and police applications or its role in automating hiring discrimination.
anyone else find it interesting that in popular fanon jayce is always willing to participate in viktor's culture (ex: speak in viktor's language) and viktor's culture is commonly referenced/celebrated but there is very little fanon regarding jayce's perceived latinoness
also kill the nickname vitya im tired of hearing it
The Racist Fandom Starter Pack
A canon interracial couple exists "I just don't see their chemistry" proceeds to fanon ship [insert white character] instead, claiming they have more of a connection.
"It's not their skin color, I just don't like them for some reason, btw, here are my top 5 [insert white actors] I think are better suited"
"Not everything is about race". They say, as they prop up every white character over any character of color.
"Please stop bring race drama into the fandom". Which translates to, I'm comfortable in my racism and don't appreciate any criticism, thanks!
White person, "Yeah, I wrote character of color as an animal, doesn't make me racist".
"I love character of color, here's a fic where they act like as [insert white characters] servant/therapist".
Character of color is such a bad friend for having opinions of their own/taking care of themselves instead of putting their friend [insert white character] first.
A character of color is morally ambiguous or a villain, gets redemption arc. "They're awful and haven't been condemned enough of their crimes". Stans [insert white characters] who did the exact same crimes or was a villain who's redemption arc is praised.
"Can't believe that character of color had the nerve not to die as a selfless sacrifice for [insert white character]".
"POC actress/actor is too ethnic and they'd ruin the character".
"I haven't seen racism in the fandom therefore it isn't there".
"Character of color is the main character of the show sure, but let's be honest, everyone came for [insert white character]
"Character of color is alright but I can only relate to [insert white character]".
Feel free to add more, that you've come across. Sadly, it all runs together after awhile of being in a lot of fandoms. Special shout out to all who helped me with these comments!
