I've seen a bunch of "fandom etiquette" posts on my dash today and I'm going to say something that is maybe going to be unpopular but;

The absolutely pervasive mentality that unwanted criticism or critique shouldn't be given and should be ignored is why fans of color don't stay in fan spaces.

And I am not going to mince words here:

A lot of you are racist. A lot of your fan works are racist.

That might have been difficult to hear. And if it was, you should probably reflect on why that was.

"Fandom etiquette" has created a space where fans of color either bite our tongues and eventually leave or say something, get dogged on, and then eventually leave.

So much of "fandom etiquette" seems to be about insulating creatives from Feeling Bad and hostility to any kind of negative feedback is a pretty big contributor to why bigotry festers in these spaces.

#imo the potluck analogy applies- it would be rude to critique someone's icing technique at a potluck bc it wasn't as good as at the bakery #but if they had decorated their cupcakes w hate symbols it wouldn't be rude to tell them that's gross and gtfo #in fact it would be inappropriate to NOT say anything in that situation #or to complain that another guest who did point it out was 'ruining everyone's potluck' #and pointing out racism in fan works is 100% the second thing not the first!

sometimes it feels like everyone else has access to a secret different method of doing basic tasks like breathing which is easier. unfortunately expressing this in normal company tends to result in people giving you weird looks

Seriously Though I Don't Think Breathing Is Supposed To Require Actual Effort

Imagine you're Ladybug. So you're Superman, and you have a crush (Justin Bieber), and he (Justin Bieber) goes to your school, and you (Superman) see him (Justin Bieber) every day even if he doesn't know it and sometimes you (Superman) even save him! He (Justin Bieber) has a crush on you (Superman) too, you think, or at least he likes you, and talking to him as Superman is a bit easier because if he ever made you uncomfortable—impossible as the thought is—you (Superman) could just kill him.

Of course, then he starts really crushing on you. He starts saying you're the inspiration behind every good deed he does (which is normal). He starts admitting to thinking about you all the time to the point of negatively impacting every other aspect of his life (which is normal). And then he (Justin Bieber) starts praying to Superman in class before tests because he believes Superman (you) was ORDAINED GENUINE HEAVENLY POWERS.

Like, what do you even do at that point. What is there to do?
