i, as a black person, am very—very tired of black folk constantly being watered down to the baseline of stereotypes created about us over the years, by our oppressors, in fanfiction.
imagine how tiring it is to read jabber/reader, jabber/literally-anyone fics and realise, “oh, this is just the mandingo stereotype,” every single time. you non-black people characterise him as insatiable and voracious, aggressive and primitive to satisfy your sexual fantasies surrounding him.
your fanfics are minstrel shows.
please, do better. we’re more than that, and you know it.
