well, folks. here it is. i went back through my fandom racism tag and put together some handy-dandy links so we can stop having the same arguments over and over again. if you want to educate yourself more on a topic or someone is making an argument you’ve seen before and don’t feel like expending the energy to debunk, here are some links that already have covered the material.
disclaimer: i intend these links to be used solely as references. don’t go to these bloggers and start stirring up old discourse on these posts. seriously.
“nursey’s parents abandon him”
“nursey’s class privilege outweighs dex’s white privilege”
nurseydex tropes to avoid
pretending dex is the only white character with racism to unlearn
constant shipping of white characters while ships of color are put under the microscope
infantilization of chowder all the time
using any person of east/southeast asian descent as a chowder/lardo fancast
jewish poc exist
wellies of color can make it to the nhl too
don’t mock the features of the characters of color
more general posts regarding fandom racism:
how to deal with whitewashed fanart/example of whitewashed fanart
what to do when writing characters of color
fandom preferences favoring white characters
performative allyship doesn’t mean you don’t have to unlearn things
how to respond if your work is criticized for being racist
unintentional racism is still racism. so is ignoring racism
mental illness/other axes of oppression don’t excuse behavior
policing of poc’s anger/feelings in fandom (this link specifically is about antiblackness in particular)
