The sorrow is not only about the rabid anti blackness, homophobia, racism and misogyny that this show perpetuated through TVL. It's not only about it destroying and disrespecting the work done by Keith Powell, Dave Harris, Ben Philippe, and A. Zell Williams. But it is also about a future that will no longer get to build itself on the material that these writers and directors crafted with so much love and care in s1. In trying to court a whiter audience and ensuring that they be comfortable, Rolin Jones made sure that AMC!IWTV holds no serious dominion over any seasons going forward. Any and every discussion that were had till TVL aired; about abuse-> especially about abuse informed by racism, can never be had the same way on a public platform ever again, because now when you hit post, there's a chance that inevitably an AMC!TVL fan will wander in with: actually Lestat NEVER abused Claudia like that! She lied, it is canon look it up!

And this truly is the mood on a larger scale- there's so many TVL fans uncritically piling up thousands of notes on posts on Lesdaughter/ Pimp Louis/ Claudia calling Louis slurs/Claudia being most angry at Louis/Louis saying it is his fault for not seeing Armand/ Paul telling Lestat he loves Louis exactly as he needs to be loved/ Femme Lestat so it has to be Masc Louis, bratty!wife Lestat and her husband LDPDL etc etc. Now anytime you try to push against these, fandom in all its racists compulsions will shield itself under TVL's so called canon. So there you have it. A graveyard.

Its genuinely insane to me how white fandom will bend over backwards to excuse, justify or deny racism and the frustrations of fans of color, like they'll find a handful of poc that don't have an issue with whatever is going on and they'll be validated enough to continue thinking its not a problem, they'll accept apologies not meant for them and get upset when others dont, they'll publicly announce how they forgive white creators like their making a stand against something, and blanket all criticism and fans of color speaking up as hate, bullying, harssment and bad faith. I thought fandom was supposed to be fun and inclusive, i thought we were supposed to be critical of what we consumed? How come fans of color can never truly escape from reality in fandom and media?

i have understood so many things about online leftist culture by the fact that when i said "your local community has people you will morally and politically disagree with but you cannot lock them out of accessing any tangible service you’re organising" one of the tags responding said "this isn’t about proshippers in here you’re not welcome" like. folks. focus with me. some of us are homeless here.

There's a disconnect happening here because the primary function of social media for most casual users is to form a circle of friends around the usual things that friendships are built on: shared interests and lifestyles and ideas of what is important and what is unacceptable. When people are mainly doing leftism on social media, this encourages thinking of leftism as centered around establishing high-minded social clubs.

For anyone who still isn't getting it from someone who helps people IRL: There's a difference between whom you're helping to feed at the mealshare and whom you're choosing to hang out with for fun after the mealshare. You don't have to invite a hungry person with opinions you don't like to play board games with you, but you do have to help keep them from starving if you're serious about leftist organizing.

I’m sorry Europeans but America is the culmination of the European project of colonization, enslavement and capitalism. This is your child not claiming them doesn’t make them not yours. America is merely an extension and a continuation of Europe on other shores, as is Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

You’ve been more than happy to align yourself with America for these very reasons. It’s profitable, your own colonial ventures may even get backed up militarily by America and you can still seem progressive in comparison while being an accomplice.

[cyberpunkpavlichenko]

You can’t wash your hands of centuries of blood at the last minute when America is collapsing. “Oh we were never like that, that’s an American problem, we never colonized or enslaved or bombed, not us no no no” that won’t protect your nation’s governments from the future crimes against humanity tribunals sorry!

the fact hijabi amputee is basically a meme for the excesses of "woke 1.0 representation" ("woke 1.0" itself being an antiblack term) is really crazy to me. i went to high school with a hijabi girl who had a stump for an arm, although she was born with it rather than it being an amputation. yes, i know more hijabis than someone living in a whites-only town like most people who make such jokes, but hijabi amputees are real people. some of whom are gay or poly or w/e btw

not to mention like, gaza has one of the highest rates of amputees in the world, and you're telling me hijabi amputee is such an unrealistic combination you couldn't possibly imagine such a person being gay and/or trans

I thought i couldn't possibly get any angrier but then i saw Rolin saying in the most annoying arrogant tone imaginable that he thinks that Claudia screaming for Louis at the trial never happened. That man is going to hell for real. Like i can't even take it seriously at this point that man is just rambling whatever is the most nonsensical evil thing he can think of at any moment

rolin saying claudia didn’t scream louis’ name as he was being dragged away from her at the trial where they were both about to be killed?
