#fandom antiblackness

[crackersandjuice]

i'm actually really fucking tired of people acting like antiblackness is only harmful and serious when done by people in power as if most of the atrocities committed against us haven't been done by your average person

The first queer Black man to play the Doctor, a generational once in a lifetime casting, representing Black fans especially queer Black fans across the diaspora to be written out like that for his favourite blonde from 2005 is one of the foulest things Russell T Davies has done.

'But I miss Billie!11/But he chose to leave!!1' shut the fuck up

This is the design people are desperate to defend btw

For people who don't know: Donut Lips Bad. Donut Lips Racist. Donut Lips originated as a way to artistically dehumanize black people and Freestyle's name is fucking Freestyle so it's clear that he's black coded. Donut Lips Bad.

It is kind of infuriating to see people actively admit they didn't give a shit when black people were being harassed and ignored. It is kind of infuriating to see that people only care about TADC sucking now that nonblack people are also hurt. It is kind of infuriating, yeah.

WHAT THE FUCK

NOT TO MENTION HOW A BIG CHUNK OF THE COMMENTS ARE SAYING "Guys!!! It's not used for funnybunny!!! It's actually about Jax being transfem and his "rebirth" as a woman!!! It's totally not racist!!!!!! This song and many others have been used and misinterpreted in tons of other media so it's totally okay and not racist!!! Especially here because it's queer!! The meaning of the song is totally logical and fits this context! trust me!!!"*

THIS IS BEING SAID WHEN A BLACK FAN EXPRESSES DISAPPOINTMENT TOWARDS THE MISUSE OF A SONG FROM A KNOWN BLACK ARTIST.

so for these dumbass arguments could you PLEASE bear in mind, THAT THE TRANSFEM CHARACTER IN QUESTION DID NOT HAVE A "REBIRTH"???? SHE FUCKING DIED!! THE TRANS WOMAN IS DEAD!!! NOT A SINGLE TIME DID SHE GET TO BE A TRANS WOMAN!! THE SCRIPT DOESN'T EVEN GIVE A SHIT THAT SHE'S NOT EVEN PORTRAYED AS A TRANS WOMAN IN HER IRL VERSION!!! ITS BURY YOUR GAYS ALL OVER AGAIN FOR THE SAKE OF PLAYING IT SAFE!! JAX ALLEGORICALLY DIED IN THE CLOSET AND WE'RE NOT EVEN SHOWN HER IRL COUNTERPART BEING A TRANS WOMAN

ALSO!!!!! HAVING THE SAME SONG BE MISINTERPRETED IN MULTIPLE PIECES OF MEDIA DOESN'T and will NEVER MEAN THAT IT'S OKAY TO COMPLETELY IGNORE THE CONTEXT, MEANING AND CULTURAL VALUE OF A BLACK MAN'S SONG OF BLACK JOY DEDICATED EXPLICITLY TO HIS BLACK DAUGHTER!!!!!

MUCH LESS IF IT'S A COVER MADE BY NON-BLACK SINGER WITH "ANTI-WOKE TIES", FOR A NON-BLACK CHARACTER, WHO'S VA AND CREATOR HAVE ENGAGED IN LITERAL RACISM WITH THE SCAPEGOAT OF IT BEING """""""HUMOR""""""" (I DON'T CARE if Micheal Kovach has apologized, what's done is done. Also Goose was fucking RADIO SILENT ABOUT THAT AND HER BILLION ""DARK HUMOR TWEETS"")

FOR AN EPISODE THAT WOULD AIR ON MOTHERFUCKING JUNETEENTH!!!!!! ITS NOT A "HOMAGE" OR "SENSIBLE SONG CHOICE", ITS STRAIGHT UP WHITEWASHING!!!!! THE SONG IS ONLY USED FOR THE TERRIBLE TRANSFEM REP ONLY BECAUSE ITS SAYS "ISN'T SHE LOVELY" AND NOT A SINGLE OTHER FUCKING LYRIC MAKES SENSE FOR THE CHARACTER OR CONTEXT ITS USED FOR

*worth mentioning that not ALL comments are like that, at least. Some are talking and explaining the context of Isn't she lovely, and agreeing on how nonsensical it is by just looking at the immediate lyrics. And another big chunk is just fucking flabbergasted at the racist commenter who thought they were so fucking funny.

GODDDDDDD THIS RACIST ASS SHOW AND THIS RACIST ASS FANDOM

[tangerinelabyrinth]

You know I feel a bit vindicated now that Doctor Who is canceled right now.

We who knew that RTD was a terrible writer, especially when it comes to writing people of color and were obviously nervous upon hearing his return to the show where he would be writing pocs, were right.

I was right when I said almost a year ago that Doctor Who is dead and the constant lack of care for any character who was not white on the show would kill it.

I was right when I said continuing to bring up Rose Tyler for the last 20 something years and having her ultimately sideline characters of color and their stories was disgusting.

I was right when I talked about the differences in how the companions of color were written differently from the white companions.

I was right that overshadowing Ncuti Gatwa's regenerations not once but TWICE was disrespectful and gross.

I was right to call out that Martha Jones was not mentioned anywhere in the show despite the constant nostalgia bait.

So many fans have called out the racism and anti-blackness not only in the show but also within the fandom and we were made to feel like we were wrong, like there was no difference in how the characters were treated or written and that we were being ridiculous about Billie Piper being the Doctor, BUT WE WERE RIGHT!

As much as I do agree trans women and trans people in general get called out for very MINOR things way too often you guys (gen) need to understand the reason people are mad at Gooseworx is because she has very obviously done racist shit. Which is bad. Her being trans should not stop you from criticizing her for doing racist shit. We need to hold white people accountable for doing racist shit.

[heytherepixiestixx]

It's 2026 we should not be normalizing the fact that people online had a racist or edgelord phase and that be brushed aside
