I’m honestly not surprised that I need to make this post but a while ago my mutual @/fuegobuoyant who is also my close friend irl had made a post about the harmful and degrading stereotypes black fem readers receive in fan fiction and before we had these accounts we had satirical accounts made to criticize and critique those stereotypes in black reader fanfics. Now I will admit the way that we did it may have came across distasteful and uncomfortable but I’m still positive that this is needed for people to truly see how it feels to be depicted in such ways. Over the past few months we received death threats, doxxing threats, and so much more that is still currently amplifying this week. Unfortunately that is not all, when we made our normal accounts to rant and talk about the stereotypes of black women in fiction we somehow still got hate from the same exact people who had an issue with our satire account’s as well. Now I really hope some of y’all understand just how hypocritical that is. You can’t get mad at us for complaining and criticizing black reader fanfics then turn around and get mad at our satire accounts that are so painful obvious that black people own the accounts and are literally trying show you how some people get away with stereotyping in their fics. This is not an excuse or a way to make you guys feel bad because I kinda don’t care what you guys think about the satire accounts but to contradict yourself and get mad at both of our accounts wether they are normal complaints and criticism or just pure stereotypes. Anyway if this finds the people who know about the accounts and still have an issue with it I don’t know what to tell you to be honest just know that we are black and had no intention of hurting nor harming our community we just wanted to show y’all how we are constantly depicted in negative and stereotypical ways in media, specifically black reader fanfic. (You can look at my rants on this account for context if needed)
Alright that is all! Thank you if you read this all the way through 🫶🏽
