Bitches will point at the fictional m/f couple and be like "Umm, actually, they are clearly siblings coded" and/or "this is clearly a mlm/wlw solidarity" and/or "she is a strong independent woman and she need or man" and/or "I just think we should focus more on represanting male/female friendships"

and the couple in question? most likely interracial

Sometimes I wonder if Everlark would have been this beloved had they cast an indigenous american acteress to play Katniss

Klaus needs to stop being praised for freeing marcel when it wasn't even for the right reasons.

Can people please stop using Klaus “saving” Marcel from slavery as some ultimate gotcha like it suddenly makes Klaus morally righteous and means Marcel should worship the ground he walks on forever.

Because the actual context of that scene matters if you actually looked beyond just the action itself, Klaus did not free Marcel because he was passionately anti-slavery.

The show never presents him that way, If Klaus genuinely cared about slavery as an institution why do we never see him freeing other enslaved people?

Why is there no indication he cared before seeing Marcel specifically? Why was the moment that moved him not “oh my god this child is enslaved” but specifically Marcel standing up to his abusive father and about to be beaten for it...because that is what triggered Klaus emotionally.

Marcel reminded him of himself and Mikael, that does not suddenly make Klaus some progressive hero and people forget Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah were literally socializing around slave owners already. Rebekah was romantically involved with the governor’s son Emil before Klaus killed him not for abusing slaves or even digust on any stance Emil showed slaves no because Emil wanted to stand up for Rebekah.

They were around plantations and enslaved people long before Marcel yet Klaus never showed any urgency to help any of them or really just one until he saw a boy being beaten by his father and projected onto him, that’s the poin and no this is not me saying Marcel is some flawless innocent angel either because he absolutely is not.

Marcel has done horrible things too I just find it ridiculous when Klaus stans act like “he saved Marcel from slavery” automatically erases every toxic, controlling, abusive thing Klaus did afterward, saving one child you emotionally connected with while doing nothing about the actual system around him is not the same thing as caring about slavery itself y’all just hear “Klaus freed a slave” and stop thinking deeper than that.

Kai Parker looking at Bonnie Bennett

[bonkailuvr]

I get the genuine Bonnie fans who don’t like Bonkai. I really do. I just think that some of them don’t get where Bonkai shippers are coming from. Bonnie’s friends ‘rebel’ through their problematic romantic/sexual relationships, even to the detriment of their personal relationships and the group accepts this eventually.

Bonnie just never had that. There were obvious points in the story where she should have pulled away from her friends or had a dark arc but she wasn’t allowed to.

Kai Parker was another opportunity. He was a character that hadn’t picked her friends first. He was Bonnie centric. He actually doesn’t work without Bonnie (see Legacies). He doesn’t care for her friends. He is a loner, doesn’t care about social harmony past getting to his goals and that needed to rub off on Bonnie. He could have been used to facilitate much needed self centeredness in Bonnie.

Bonkai fans vary on whether or not they should have been endgame or not but there is an understanding of how Kai is an equal who would have given Bonnie the toxic romance her peers got. Like… even Matt got with Rebekah.

Also, if Bonnie was white or wasn’t written by racists, she suddenly wouldn’t have PTSD from Kai in season 6. She would have PTSD in season 1. If realism wasn’t a thing that only matters when it comes to Bonnie’s romance relationship and no one else’s, the others would be plagued with flashbacks and none of their relationships would have happened.

It’s the way that Bonnie can actually fight back against Kai too that’s ignored, making it mutual, but other girls just endure violence from their love interest and the narrative doesn’t focus on it nor show consequences. Everything is just different when it comes to Bonnie.

dear Sarah Fox my sweet girl you have such a complex relationship with humanity and vampirism if only your show was bigger than 2 seasons -

I genuinely can not stand when there’s a black character in a TV show, especially if it’s a black woman character and she’s shipped with a well-known (male) character that’s beloved by the fandom, but the fandom treats her horribly.

I’ve seen this with every fandom I have been in, and each time it aggressively gets worse. For example, Damon and Bonnie from The Vampire Diaries. I have not read the books, but I have been told they did get together in them, and if I am not mistaken, I believe Ian was at least interested in the idea of Bonnie and Damon being together. When watching the show, you can see the chemistry; it just rubs off on each other. Yes, everyone knows Damon is a problematic character, but when he cares, he cares hard, and that especially goes for Bonnie. I wish the writers (Julie Plec) weren’t cowards and allowed us as an audience to see that side of their relationship blossom.

Then, with Mel and Jay from Arcane, the disgusting things I have seen this fandom do, the lengths that they go to treat Mel as an abuser in the relationship? To treat Mel as trash and not a character with complex qualities, just like everyone else in the show. Which is why I will forever side-eye any and every JayVik shipper. I do not care if you’re not the one perpetuating the stereotypes on Mel, but you being a shipper and seeing fellow shippers be distasteful; the least you can do is call them out on their behavior and make sure you’re not a safe space for them. Some fanfic writers have the nerve to write her as some aggressive black woman, and even Jay as aggressive sometimes, and Victor as the docile, could never hurt a fly character. Which is wrong, it’s disturbing, and it is racism.

Many fandom spaces are full of misogynoir and people who do not care to unpack their ignorance, even pick up a book and see why that is. Two authors I could easily recommend to people would be Bell Hooks and Toni Morrison. You have to do the work on unlearning racist and misogynistic behaviors because it is so deeply rooted in fandoms and other communities.

Whenever a black person decides to ship a black character and a non-black character together, I have seen many non-black people try to correct them, saying, “Oh, they’re just friends, he/she wouldn’t date them.” Are you the writer of the show? No, so what makes it right for you to police that person?

This goes with The Bear fandom and how people treat sydcarmy shippers. Why is it so shocking to you that people ship those two characters together? I personally haven't seen the show fully, but from the many clips I've seen of those two, I can see why people ship them, and even if I couldn’t, it's still not my place to police a person if it’s not doing any harm to anyone, or even the characters.

A lot of people love to humble black shippers and characters and force us into a box of some sort. While their counterparts get a safe space to be themselves.

With the Bridgerton fandom and their mistreatment of Michaela Stirling. It’s not just lesbianphobia, it’s racism, it’s misogyny. I see a lot of white lesbians and non-black lesbians in general forget to mention that racism plays a big role in why people want Michael Stirling and not Michaela Stirling. There are people in this fandom who will use AI and turn Michaela back into a man, but only a white man. As if the Kilmartin and Stirling families aren’t full of black people. I’m not interested in excuses either because more racism will go dismissed.

A lot of people don’t care to realize that if these problems do not get called out in fandoms, then we’ll have a situation like the Percy Jackson fandom and The Flash. As someone who grew up with both of those things, I am extremely tired of seeing the mistreatment of the actors and their characters. You don’t care about black women, you don’t even care about the character, you just want to insert yourself in these situations because of another character you love. A lot of white people have that problem, and we see it a lot in BookTok. I have seen it all my life.
