the discourse surrounding is god is, is very much giving “a hit dog will holler” with these Black men getting upset because anaia & racine did what was necessary to get the justice they deserved. mind you, when sinners came out, not a word was said about smoke & stack killing their own abusive father. there were no “ryan coogler is is portraying Black men in a bad light!!” comments but since is god is was created by a Black woman, there’s a problem with her portraying a Black man as the family annihilator. this is reality so i don’t see the issue when Black femicide rates are already sky high and just keeps rising because these men won’t seek therapy.

it’s very funny to me how they want an all Black cast where every single character is portrayed as a perfect person who’s never done anything wrong in their lives. you don’t want to see Black antagonists or villains in media led by an all Black cast? bitch you are BORING.

you should get a second evening for reading fan fiction. And you should get an extra day in the week to do arts and crafts.

Being Black/Brown in Fandom Spaces be like:

*'White Perceived'- when anime characters walk around with names like "Todoroki", "Shigaraki", "Usagi" and "Naruto", and White fans fervently tell Black/Brown fans they can't cosplay them properly, as though these characters aren't also very much not White either just because they have light skin.

I made this back when IWTV season 1 dropped and may I just say I have not been wrong yet 🤣😭

[pinayelf]

thinking abt that person who left that tag on my post abt colorism abt how us brown/black ppl should just "make our own stuff" instead of complaining

and i always think abt how i kinda resent the fact that now that we have more black and brown princesses they don't really get the sweeping swoony fairytales like the white ones did

raya and moana don't get a love story. tiana was a frog for most of the movie. they retconned the love story for asha in wish

maybe unpopular opinion but yeah its cool to show girl power and girls can be independent from men but man i just want to see a black or brown princess who gets to be the princess the prince saves from the dragon lol

and when i do make this stuff ppl will call it hetslop

"make your own stuff" and it will go purposely unpromoted and unsupported, and when it fails it's because "diversity is forced and boring" and not "people prefer stories with the same white characters because racism, no matter how worn out the idea is".

We have eyes! We can see the pattern!

The Racist Fandom Starter Pack

A canon interracial couple exists "I just don't see their chemistry" proceeds to fanon ship [insert white character] instead, claiming they have more of a connection.

"It's not their skin color, I just don't like them for some reason, btw, here are my top 5 [insert white actors] I think are better suited"

"Not everything is about race". They say, as they prop up every white character over any character of color.

"Please stop bring race drama into the fandom". Which translates to, I'm comfortable in my racism and don't appreciate any criticism, thanks!

White person, "Yeah, I wrote character of color as an animal, doesn't make me racist".

"I love character of color, here's a fic where they act like as [insert white characters] servant/therapist".

Character of color is such a bad friend for having opinions of their own/taking care of themselves instead of putting their friend [insert white character] first.

A character of color is morally ambiguous or a villain, gets redemption arc. "They're awful and haven't been condemned enough of their crimes". Stans [insert white characters] who did the exact same crimes or was a villain who's redemption arc is praised.

"Can't believe that character of color had the nerve not to die as a selfless sacrifice for [insert white character]".

"POC actress/actor is too ethnic and they'd ruin the character".

"I haven't seen racism in the fandom therefore it isn't there".

"Character of color is the main character of the show sure, but let's be honest, everyone came for [insert white character]

"Character of color is alright but I can only relate to [insert white character]".

Feel free to add more, that you've come across. Sadly, it all runs together after awhile of being in a lot of fandoms. Special shout out to all who helped me with these comments!

"making character Black is inaccurate/offensive! I'm not racist, it's just facts!"

[creatingblackcharacters]

If you think Remmick's behavior in Sinners towards Sammie was in any way queer or motivated by sexual attraction, boy do I got a book you'll love!!

Join your fellow centuries of believers as you learn the racist history of white people (yes, the women too!) taking advantage of their enslaved Black victims' bodies in any way they saw fit, because they had a psychosexual obsession with the power they held over them! I'm sorry, I mean the "enemies to lovers obsessed vampire trope"!

That title is kinda creepy to me.

So is eating Black people both literally and figuratively, my dear

"Higher education is not the racial utopia that Republicans are scared of. It is not some bizarro world where students of color wield power over white students and faculty. It is a white supremacist system at its core, like all our other systems are. That is shown in the numbers. Black students, Hispanic students, Indigenous students, and Pacific Islander students all fare worse on college campuses than white students- they are far less likely to be admitted, and when they are admitted, they are far less likely to graduate than white students.

I remember sitting with Black social work students on a campus in illinois. They told me they had chosen social work because of all the ways in which they had been failed in their own lives by social workers and others who held similar positions of authority and local government. They wanted to be able to support people whom traditional social work had left behind, like them. The students shared their struggles to make it out of areas like Ferguson, Missouri, and into college when so many people had told them it wasn't possible. Some students were homeless during their first years of college.

They talked about how all the professors were white, and how in every class their professors pathologized people who looked like them and who came from the communities they grew up in. They talked about how they struggled to make good grades in classes that wanted to teach them that people who looked like them were fundamentally broken. They put up with these insults and hurdles so they would have a chance to be social workers who could tell their community members that they weren't flawed.

I say all of this to make the point that I really hate defending higher education. It is a broken system that can do a lot of harm to marginalized people. Yet it's the best place in America for our young people to formulate their social and political consciousness. How very sad."

what if we stopped making Ambiguously Brown Character and started actually thinking about the race and ethnic features of the characters we made? what if instead of drawing a character that looks like you painted a white character brown, we started varying noses, lips, eyes, and hair? just a thought

[creatingblackcharacters]

I have a suggestion

[sunsis]

I don’t know who needs to hear this but people are NOT obligated to like cats or any animal for that matter. As long as they aren’t harming these animals in any way it doesn’t matter. Cats don’t give a fuck and neither should you.

[anglaised]

like shut the fuck up

[sunsis]

If an artist designs a Black female character, depending on the hairstyle, they will get compared by non-Black ppl to either Garnet, Tiana, or some other random Black character they look absolutely nothing like. It is annoying and inevitable
