i admit i am getting wary whenever people vaguepost about a fandom being 'full of drama' because a lot of people seem to use 'drama' as a synonym for like. discussions of bigotry and bias in media. which is so very much not the same thing and it hurts my head to see it conflated with shipping wars and headcanon discourse.

Every time someone says "I don't pay attention to fandom drama" and the "drama" is a Black or brown person getting dogpiled for wanted to be treated with respect. But then turn around and go "I didn't know that this sort of thing was happening!" Well you didn't care to look, either 😬

Can I come over and be really disappointing

[wingkink]

btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here

what do you mean it not normal for gonta to feel like everything is wrong with him ❓

Now, a question for my Black followers ONLY:

The rest of you can (and really ought to!) reblog, but it's not your turn to talk. Just listen and reflect!

What DOES a good apology for antiblackness look like, to you?

Not a shitty twitter apology that dodges accountability. Not a genuine apology made to white fans to soothe their embarrassment and egos and maintain white solidarity.

What does an ACTUAL apology for antiblackness consist of, to you?

What actions do you need to see from people who claim to be better, to deserve your support despite a history of being unsafe?

Why do you think nonblack people feel they're entitled to grace, and what would actually EARN them your grace? What makes you not want to offer it at all?

I think there's a disconnect between what the group being harmed needs, and what people think the group being harmed should settle for. We've been forced to know the latter. How do Y'ALL feel?

[spacebeyonce]

it's hard to say 'cause rarely do I see an apology for antiblack behavior. but I guess that would be the start, for me - an ACTUAL apology towards the people harmed. not a vague, 'sorry if you were offended' post that people usually do, or blocking the people who call them out on antiblack behavior. I need to see some genuine remorse toward the Black community for their actions.

after that, I'd like to see that remorse in the form of further action. as you say, to be anti-racist is to put in CONSTANT work. if you really want to atone - put in the work. read more about racism and antiblackness. educate your peers around you who exhibit antiblack behavior if you can - or cut them off, if you can't. make more effort to uplift the Black fans in your fandom circles, if the antiblackness they have to deal with on the regular hasn't pushed them out - share their art, their stories. stand up for them. fight for them.

and understand that in spite of doing all of this - there will be Black people who will not forgive you. there will be Black people who will not be able to trust you. and you shouldn't let that hinder you in your efforts to better yourself in becoming a stronger ally for the people you hurt.

but that's just me tho!

[spacebeyonce]

ALSO - I need that apology to be LOUD. I need it to be PUBLIC. since you want to speak on Black people terribly in such loud, public spaces, that apology needs to match the energy you give out. not some simpering bullshit in the DMs, or in the discord chat. not half-assed apologies sent on an account you made private after getting called out.

you choose to act ugly in the light, so why try to shrink back and hide in the shadows when you say you want to make amends?? atone on the stage you created.
