So for years black girls have had to read fanfics where y/n was automatically described as being paled skinned with long flowing hair and blue eyes. We couldn’t relate to it exactly, it excluded us, it ignored us. But we read it cause it was all that was out there. Now when we start writing fanfics for other black girls to feel included and represented, now you all are saying that you ‘‘can’t relate to it” therefore don’t support black writers when we were supporting your work all those years even though you were acting like we don’t exist within these fandoms.

It’s incredibly frustrating because I’ll be reading about the characters turning shades of pink and I’m like. I don’t turn pink. Black people don’t blush. If this is suppose to be reader insert why the hell is it saying that? I don’t have blue eyes or flowing hair? The actual heck.

Bruh don’t get me started, we’ve come a long way but why are ppl complaining when we got something to ourselves? Jeez. You have trillions of stuff, let us have our own.

Ways to describe a gender neutral, ethnicity-neutral character:

Blush = cheeks/face heating up

Describe how skin feels instead of how it looks

Hair being soft instead of long/flowing/silky

Maybe don’t even describe hair. Running one’s fingers through it doesn’t require a length or texture.

Why are we describing an insert’s eye color anyway? “I’ve always loved the color of your eyes.” There you go.

It’s so easy to have characters admire someone without relying on their appearance.

If you can’t, then maybe you’re not as good a writer as you think you are.
