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

No Grasscaraz this year but I bet we’ll see the return of Baldcaraz for his comeback

[gauffcaraz]

One year ago, today.

[sauerland-2001]

I hope his victims, including the mother of his child, are surrounded with love and support today.

and i don't want to hear ever again that assault (in any way) accusations can ruin a man's career

Dear tennis gods, take all the pain Carlos has been going through these past months, quadruple it and give it all to this rat

[sauerland-2001]

When Carlos first got injured and announced he wouldn’t be in Paris, I said I wouldn’t follow any tennis for the time being. I so should have stuck to that. I regret everything. I hate tennis.

[channelslam]

carlos is so good he currently holds 3 slams without working hard and being lazy 🥹🥹🥹 cant say for the rest of the tour

Last year‘s five set final was a tragic comedy with two incredibly capable players. This year it’s just a horror show that will either end in life or death.

[sauerland-2001]

FLAVIO

[sauerland-2001]

Ok I hate to say it, but I think that’s it. Don’t let a rat into the house, you’ll lose

[sauerland-2001]

Flavio I BEG you

[sauerland-2001]

Why is this legit more stressful than last year‘s fucking final and it hasn’t even begun yet??

That said, I won’t watch until the score tells me that Flavio is indeed saving tennis. My blood pressure can’t take this today.
