The hypocrisy of the "inclusive reader" culture

How Inclusivity Became a Performance

Everyone loves the big, beautiful speeches on Tumblr. Everyone likes the posts screaming about how we desperately need diversity, how we need POC readers, plus-size readers, gender-neutral readers, disabled readers, etc.

Those posts get thousands of likes. Everyone wants to look progressive.

But what happens in reality? What happens when a truly inclusive fanfiction is actually published?

Suddenly, the crowd vanishes. Silence. The story gets treated like a niche within a niche.

The hypocrisy is systemic. Platforms give us tags to help make diverse stories searchable. But look at how the 'inclusive' crowd uses them. They don't use tags like 'Plus-size Reader' or 'POC Reader' to find content—they use them as a negative filter. They systematically mute and exclude these tags from their dashboards so they never have to look at them. They demand authors label their diversity, not to celebrate it, but to make it easier to avoid.

Let’s talk about how ridiculous this is. You can have two fanfictions. They have the exact same summary. The exact same plot. Word for word. The writing is great, the ideas are amazing. But if one is a generic "X Reader" and the other is a "Chubby Reader" or a "Disabled Reader"?Everyone disappears. Nobody wants it unless it fits the generic mold.

And let’s look at how they treat these stories when they actually open them. They don’t want true representation; they want misery porn. They will only accept a plus-size or disabled character if the entire plot centers around their trauma, their insecurities, and their tears. The moment an author writes a diverse character who is simply confident, happy, and having a normal, sexy romance without apologizing for existing? The progressive audience walks away. They don’t want to normalize you; they just want to pity you to feed their own savior complex.

Then come the excuses. I have seen people look at an inclusive fic and say, "Oh, I don't feel legitimate reading this because I don't look like that character/reader."

Are you serious?

Think about the bigger people. The people of color. The people living with a disability, a squint, or losing their hair because of stress. For decades, they had to swallow thousands of "X Reader" stories that looked exactly like a standard, skinny, white Original Character (OC). They read them without complaining for years, even though they looked absolutely nothing like them.

The day they finally speak up and demand to be seen?

They get likes on their rants, but zero actual support for their stories.

The worst part? The sheer hypocrisy of the readers who belong to these marginalized groups themselves. They have been so heavily spoon-fed by the "generic" standard that they won't even support authors who write for people outside the norm. They are outside the norm themselves in real life, but they still reject inclusive fics because they've been brainwashed by the generic skinny, able-bodied fantasy.

We need to talk about the excuse of 'escapism.' Many readers from these exact marginalized groups claim they use fanfiction to escape reality. But let's be honest about what that really means: your imagination has been so colonized by systemic beauty standards that you cannot even fantasize about yourself in your own skin. You demand representation on the public timeline for political points, but in the dark, you still crave the white, skinny, able-bodied default. You want the world to change, but you refuse to change your own desires.

And let's hit the peak of hypocrisy: the ones who finally get the exact representation they begged for, but completely refuse to interact. They will click on the fic, read it in secret, take everything the author gave them, and then leave absolutely zero likes, zero reblogs, and zero comments. They demand to be visible in the stories, but they choose to remain a ghost when it's time to support the creator who actually listened to them. They refuse to do the bare minimum for their own community.

Why are you refusing to interact? Is it out of shame? Are you afraid of being rejected by the "popular clique" if people see you liking a fic that doesn't fit the standard norm?

This ghost behavior isn't just laziness; it's social cowardice. In today’s hyper-punitive fandom culture, interacting with a diverse fic is seen as a political risk. If the author makes one wrong move, uses one imperfect term, or writes a scene that doesn't fit the current internet dogma, the 'anti' crowd will tear them apart. So readers play it safe. They consume the representation in secret like thieves, stealing the author's emotional labor, but they refuse to leave a trace. They protect their own digital reputation by leaving the creator to stand completely alone in the cold.

Listen, you can't please everyone. That's a fact of life. But don't you dare cry when everything is gone. When authors stop writing for you, when the diversity you begged for completely vanishes because you were too scared or too lazy to hit the reblog button, do not cry. You caused this.

People love the concept of inclusivity because it makes them look good on their dashboard. But when it's time to actually read, comment, and give visibility to a real diverse story, their laziness and internalized biases take over.

Marvel and Kevin Feige cancelling and shelving black actor-led projects like Wonder Man and Blade and sidelining characters like Monica Rambeau but has future plans to put fugly zionist and Thin Blue Line nutjob Jon Bernthal in several projects...it's so bleak.

It is also not lost on me the disproportionate spotlight female characters in the MCU get, but sure put this misogynist bum who goes out of his way to associate with Hollywood abusers and predators of women in everything Feige!

And the amount of women in the Marvel fandom continuing to shamelessly support this man especially on here 🥴

God’s Gonna Cut You Down — Series Masterlist

Frank can run from his past—but he can’t hide. Sooner or later, God’ll cut you down.

Frank Castle x F!Reader

Gentle (adj.): free from harshness, sternness, or violence

Frank is not a gentle man.

Never was.

Frank understands the importance of judgement. Of retribution.

The first kill came when he was ten.

Bastard deserved it, then some.

Retirement felt like submission for a long time. Felt like… acceptance. Forfeiting. Giving up. Frank’s not a guy that knows how to quit. Not when it’s in his blood. You can only subdue a man for so long.

But you can’t change his nature.

Summary: What’s done in the dark will be brought to the light. After almost twenty years of retirement, Frank’s past hits your family with a vengeance; a vengeance much like his own. A bounty on your family—in blood.

Warnings: Slow burn to violent, bloody explosion. Graphic depictions of violence and death/murder (not any characters we love). Angst. Bit of fluff mixed in. Hurt/comfort. Trying for horror. Kinda southern gothic vibes. Ignoring how time works bc Frank would be old af. Break-in. Pieces of comic-canon Frank. Sleep disorders/disruption. Lies. Guns. Family trauma. Stalking. You and Frank are married with twin girls who are around the age of sixteen. Reader is a nurse with implied trauma. 18+ only. Reader is always a consenting adult.

divider cred: junabuggy

Prelude I: Guardian Angels

Prelude II: Midnight Snack

Part III: The Shed

Part IV: coming soon…

[hajmola-vs-aamchaska]

horror. frank castle. family in danger. punisher comeback? hell yeah!

stakes are so so so much higher this time around. reality vs not. my heart goes out for this family. but also the sisters man, they’re about to find out why mama and dada wanted them to stay away far from the shed!

[probuccalfat]

why do so many freaks go right to “there should be exams or tests before you have kids” when the real solution is better social services, robust infant and child development education that is accessible both financially and schedule/distance accommodating, and resources throughout any stage of a child’s life. genuine question like did you think about any social development before going straight to eugenics

[lostinsfiction]

all my best wishes and prayers for the brave and courageous jharkhand students, who are still protesting while facing the lathi charges. i hope you all get justice. 🇮🇳

I need love. I need to love and to be loved with the obligations of love, the inconveniences of love, the absoluteness and the tyrannies of love: the love of the body and of the soul.

Oriana Fallaci, Inshallah

[petaltexturedskies]

The world is violent and mercurial — it will have its way with you. We are saved only by love — love for each other and the love that we pour into the art we feel compelled to share: being a parent; being a writer; being a painter; being a friend. We live in a perpetually burning building, and what we must save from it, all the time, is love.

Tennessee Williams

“Why does this character have to be Black?”

Why shouldn’t they be?

“Why does this character have to be a woman?”

Why shouldn’t she be?

“Why does this character have to be gay?”

Why shouldn’t they be?

“Why does this character have to be trans?”

Why shouldn’t they be?

“Why does this character have to be disabled?”

Why shouldn’t they be?

“Why does this character have to be fat?”

Why shouldn’t they be?

[ramblingcitrus]

We really gotta give credit to the sapien partners and close friends of the cluster, cos there's so fucking much to unpack there

[ramblingcitrus]

Self rb because i gotta talk about them

Like we got Jela and Amanita, who are in the loop pretty much from day 1 and just go with it.

"Oh, Capheus, you're seeing the spirit of Jean-Claude Van Damme, which can sometimes possess you to beat the gangsters out for your head? Sure. I'm glad she's there to help"

"My girlfriend can see and hear seven other people in her head, and there's a mega corp out to kill her because of it, and they've commissioned the fbi to capture her? Yeah, they'll do that those assholes"

10/10 amazing no notes.

Detective Mun finds out somehow (i can't remember) but like this is far from the weirdest thing about Sun or their relationship. He's all in playing cliche korean tourist for the gang

Hell yeah man, i just wish he wasn't a cop.

Felix and Bug are 100% supportive from the day they find out about the cluster thing, they done shrooms, this isn't that surprising.

I love them. They aren't just comic relief. They actually matter, and they are wonderful additions to the team.

Daniella and Hernando are baffled at first.

Daniella quickly gets over it and is ride or die.

Duh, have you met her?

Hernando needs buffering time to process his existential questions.

Which honestly, is the most sane reaction lmao. Cos same Hernando, same

Diego? Honestly, the man is just relieved to have any sort of coherent explanation for his bestie's downward spiral and still helps him get away with illegal shit

Which is more than i expected, given how things were going at some point. Kudos

Rajan, my man, he's the last one to find out and the only one to find out by walking into the whole gang + their sapien friends/partners together, in person. THIS HAPPENS IN HIS VILLA. So yeah, understandably he freaks the fuck out at first. But then he commits 110% and co-opts Kala's german bf in process.

Iconic. No one is doing it like him.

I can't exactly remember if how much Riley's dad knows, i know he doesn't know the details with BPO, but about the cluster and his daughter being a different kind of human? Anyways, if he does, i know he approached it in a very 60s stoner way who loves his daughter to bits, cos thats how he is.

[puppygirllaika]

at some point in your life you are going to do or say something racist, sexist, or otherwise bigoted. Your goal is not perfection, your goal is to be the kind of person that the people you've hurt feel safe being honest with when that happens.
