These are a few of many real life Black Girls/Women I saw folk harass and bully in real time over fictional characters. At least 3 deleted their social media. Two are/were literally children. One was blacklisted. One has been in the same horrific fandom for approximately a decade. There were many more, but I chose these. A wide range of skintones and ages, and I know some ofyou will see this and easily be able to sound off more names...

THIS is a Black Female Character Appreciation and Protection Space, but more importantly, it is a Black girls and women appreciation and protection space.

If you ever participated in harassing and bullying Black girls or women online, or otherwise, I wish you the worst. I hope bad things happen continuously in your life, to you and people you hold dear. I hope ancestors show up and show out and that life beats you up and turn around and beats you down.

Amen.
