Just wanted to hop on here and say I’m tired of this fandom being blatantly misogynistic toward female characters they don’t like :)

Abigail, Molly, and Mary Linton are the ones I most often see get shit on relentlessly. I’ve also seen Annabelle, Bessie, and Mrs. Trelawny targeted this way and we don’t even see them in the game.

Y’all will go to such great lengths to defend Micah cause he’s “a complicated character” but Mary Linton? Nah she’s just an evil bitch who led Arthur on, right?

Micah and Bill, LITERAL RACISTS, get better treatment in this fandom than female characters who fuck up every once in a while. I’m so tired of it. And may I just add that as a Mexican in this fandom it makes me so incredibly uncomfortable how many people love those two characters (Micah especially). It makes me so sick seeing Javier, a character who is part of what little Mexican representation I have from my favorite games, constantly being called a greaser and getting told to “fuck off back to Mexico” by characters popular in the fandom. I can only imagine how uncomfortable black and indigenous people in the fandom feel as well.

Reasons Why Fans of Color Leave/Don’t Interact with Fandom

Casual racism that is brushed off as “an innocent mistake” or “they didn’t mean it” and then everyone pretending like it didn’t happen and moving on with their day (repeat)

Speaking over fans of color about issues that pertain to them specifically

When fans of color speak out about something that makes them uncomfortable or why that don’t interact with it (usually because of the racial/ethnic bias) they are accused of being anti’s or pro-censorship

Characters of color being used as scapegoats/bashed/plot devices 

Characters of color never getting happy endings/real development

Backlash against characters of color if they do anything other than be a white character’s side kick/best friend

Actors of characters of color being harassed for something their character did or didn’t do

White characters/actors getting all the attention/credit despite the fact that they are a side character to a POC or on the same level as the POC

Fanfic authors patting themselves on the back for writing a “realistic” character of color and it’s just a bunch of stereotypes

Being told that they should be happy they were even included when they call out the above people

White fans crying about persecution/exclusion because their fav character/trope/kink/ship isn’t loved by all 

Fan artists re-imaging characters of color as white/lightening skin tone

Everyone rushing to a white fans defense after a well deserved call out while the fan of color receives hate

Never having a safe fandom space and always having to be on guard with new people/fandoms/chats etc because they’ve been burned before

Feel free to add

[blacktabris]

- fetishization and depersonalization of characters of color (to serve the white character’s narrative)

- (re)writing characters of color as abusive and/or violent to infantilize white characters

- being asked to explain why ___ is racist when it’s been spoken about at length or could be googled

[nyxelestia]

• Flanonization - rewriting canon to prop up white guys and push down characters of color…and then passing off this fanon creation as canon, confusing people who haven’t seen the canon yet, and/or getting large portions of the fandom to accept it as a substitute for canon and pretend the actual canon - whatever its respect for characters of color - doesn’t exist or is an actual falsehood.

• “Sea-lioning” - using passive aggressive tactics to harass fans of color (and white allies who speak up for fans and characters of color), harassing or cyberbullying their friends, and targeting any type of community that speaks up about these problems…and then crying victim when someone finally snaps and lashes back at them.
