studies i eventually wanna read should they exist one day:
impact of poc representation in western media (and furthermore western-specific racism) on diasporic kids.
general thesis and/or further exploration includes why immigrant children have difficulty relating to others of the same ethnicity who grew up in their home country (almost always filled w majority ppl of the same ethnicity) bc their representation back home vs western representation are highly different
this is awfully put just see this post lol
queer consumption of ~problematic queer content
insp by a thread that asked if there were any queer y/a/o/i readers
from my own observations, it was interesting to see that the answers (over 1000 comments) covered the entire spectrum of the lgtbq alphabet
tho, additionally, many those who did comment did not identify as gay cismen
may be bc those who were didn’t reply to the forum, may be bc those who did answer didn’t disclose that identity specifically (from the quick skimming i did at least), may be bc gay men justifiably have an issue w y/a/o/i content. who knows??? i certainly don’t, that’s why i wanna read about it lol
also shout out to all the lesbians who read y/a/o/i btw god bless u i lov u and i too love girls
anyway i’d love to see what queer ppl think about content that often fetishizes queer ppl, and why we continue to consume it
i’m almost certainly going to update this post w more studies i eventually wanna read bc im a giant fucking nerd who reads this shit in their spare time and i ain’t gonna bother hiding it
