the way supposedly left-leaning people, especially from the US, talk about Argentina on the internet is actually fucking vile lololol I am sick of living in a time where there's countries comitting Actual Genocide and countries with COUGH the most appaling histories of racism slavery segregation colonialism and everything in between up until this very day which are COUGH fully aiding and taking part of Actual Genocide!! and yet somehow we are being made into some kind of example because you all chose to believe the third reich is born again in south america.

I have to sit here and watch a tweet by an american go viral after yesterday's world cup match with cabo verde saying something along the lines of "there is argentinians screaming slurs at their tvs that haven't been heard since 1953" baby that's the year YOUR country was deep in jim crow, something that didn't even ""end"" until 1964, the year in which our national team captain was a black man. I can guarantee everything being yelled at an argentinian tv during that match was directed at our own players to do better, and everyone I saw talking about cabo verde after had nothing but good things to say about them and how impressed they were with their skill and how sad they were to see them eliminated before they could do more. but sure sit at home and jerk off to fantasies of argentinians hatecriming black people while in your streets black boys are shot and killed by the police for doing nothing.

and I talk about the US because that's the most blatant example and where most of these posts are coming from, but I could say something about every western european country on the map, canada, australia, israel, japan, mexico, the list goes on. there's racist white people in argentina just like in every one of those countries and dare I say Every other country out there especially any that has any amount of white population. argentina has a history of institutional racism just like any of those countries as well. where there nazis taken in by argentina after ww2? just like in most south american countries ? or like the ones that were given jobs at NASA? we can talk about racism here and how to fix it and how we can be better but I truly don't see how what you guys are doing is productive or helps anyone at all. while global powers are out there destroying the earth and killing off entire populations and putting kids in cages.

meanwhile the rise of the far right has argentina and its resources being literally sold to the US by a fascist government not unlike the ones rising everywhere around the world, at a time where everyone will happily cheer for our destruction and colonisation and no one will fight for us because you were too busy joking about us all being of nazi german descent on twitter lol you are such brave little leftists!! nevermind that argentina has the largest jewish population in latin america and like 6th largest in the world and that makes up most of our german population, the rest having mostly settled here before nazi germany was even a thing. (the only non-jewish person I know here with a german surname descends from volga germans (ethnic germans from russia). or that most of our people are mixed. or that there is a fuck ton of brown people all over our territory (yes in buenos aires too!!) and a smaller black population whose existence you insist on erasing when you listen to far right argentinians claiming we are a "white country" and take it as truth.

it genuinely blows my mind that you can be so stupid and so ready to aid in the plundering of my country by your very own goverment and then go on the internet and preaching about US and CIA intervention in countries they want to control/own amd the use of propaganda for those purposes Brother this is literally it and you are doing their work for them!!! you go and poke a hornets nest (provoke the most racist, marginal portion of argentinian trolls on the internet) and when they sting you (they say the vilest shit imaginable bc they are racist trolls) you go back home and say omg bugs (all argentinians) are the worst we need to kill all bugs they're evil (there's a larger portion of argentinians in your comments simply telling you what you're doing is harmful but you'll ignore those)

Look inwards look at your goverments look at colonial powers look at those pulling all the strings look at who benefits from it all i beg you and delete that fucking twitter draft about hitler being alive in bariloche

so many popular examples of fandom racism are barely actual brand fandom racism bcs white ppl (and honestly too many non black ppl) need outright in your face blatant stuff as proof to shocked and appalled by. most of it is the classic "I'm not touching you style" that's easier to gaslight around which is what a majority of racism is, gaslighting. slave fics a tortureporn of characters of color are awful but that's like individual weirdos who it's easy to mark off as obviously racist. The attention and outrage surrounding these little incidents allows everyone to feel better because of how exaggerated and one off they are, bad eggs in a good batch etc.

Real fandom racism is watching the darkest characters get boxed into the specific outsider pov trope over and over despite them being a core member of the cast. it's watching everyone have in depth headcanons for every character but them, denying them the complexity their counterparts get. It's them getting written out of their own plots, receiving little to no audience sympathy when they ARE complex, and, most importantly, watching them get cast in the same exact role when shipping comes in

but all this isn't loud, it's quiet and unnoticeable unless you've had to watch it play out with every favorite character you've had ever since you were ten and started engaging with fandom. it's repetitive, uncreative, infuriating and worst of all NOBODY WILL LISTEN WHEN YOU POINT IT OUT because you're just imagining it and they're not touching you. I've been making my own content and I've seen how people will go out of their way NOT to engage or engage specifically only to discredit a character of color.

it's not a one off thing or even a small pattern, it is what fandom culture is BUILT on, picking the palest skinniest most pathetic looking man in the cast, projecting onto him and ignoring literally everyone and everything else whether that be fanon over plot or the interesting female or darker skinned characters and masking racism behind fanon tropes

recent happenings have clarified something i’ve been thinking about in terms of fan response to santos vs response to al-hashimi. i couldn’t understand how some people can both like or even tolerate trinity but hate baran, and i’ve synthesized it down to the following: the dislike of baran is because she refuses to submit to robby’s authority and therefore refuses to take her place in the gender hierarchy. this is well beyond the ai thing.

i agree with the sentiment that trinity santos is a basic litmus test for fandom misogyny. she’s criticized and hated for things that male characters would never be hated for and in fact are actively doing on the show. but she doesn’t challenge the authority of the patriarchy and its avatar The Patriarch (robby), and doesn’t disrupt the gender hierarchy while still being a strong woman. the one time she does challenge The Patriarch, he spits in her face by leveraging her trauma against her, teaching her what happens when she steps out of the hierarchy. obviously this isn’t intentional on the part of the writers but they let it happen nonetheless.

now baran has very few of the “masculine” characteristics that trinity is hated for; she’s largely traditionally feminine. she’s kind, patient, thoughtful, gentle, thorough, eloquent, cautious, and maternal. for the first time in this show, Husband (The Patriarch) has a Wife (the potential Matriarch) that he is on equal footing with. we didn’t have that with heather collins or with dana. we finally have Wife but she is negligent in her position as Wife. she dares to challenge robby, deigns not to roll over and submit to him despite the fact that he’s done nothing to prove to her that he deserves her respect let alone her submission. she’s the only person in the e.d. who stands on her own and does her job without letting her world revolve around robby, and it disgusts people. if she obeys the system so much and works within it, then why can’t she obey the most ancient and primitive system of all and fall in line with The Patriarch?

of course people don’t believe nor recognize that their dislike of baran is misogynistic, especially people who like trinity as a character and recognize the misogyny surrounding the hatred of her. their main argument is that baran doesn’t know robby well enough to judge him or criticize him but they can’t extend this argument to baran herself and robby’s horrible treatment of her. most of them can recognize robby’s misogynistic tendencies yet insist that he’s not being misogynistic to baran and actually he hates her for correct and woke reasons. the writers are making a point by making baran a woman (and a woman of color) that robby is at odds with and no amount of squirming around that point will make that point go away.

baran has proved over and over, practically every episode, that she wants to work with robby and talk about ways that they can change the e.d. together, and yet her critics paint her as a stone cold bitch and an evil ice queen who wants to kick robby out and take over his kingdom (which is literally her job btw). can you blame her for giving up after hours of trying only to be constantly laughed at, ridiculed, and cast aside? after at least a week of trying to reach out to him and him admitting to her face that he purposely avoided her? robby’s behavior can’t be justified; ptsd and depression are not excuses for treating baran like this. she very likely has ptsd too! along with dana and trinity, and no one is making the same excuses for them because they are not failing in their professional duties. baran is his equal professionally and soon to be legally, god forbid she ask to be treated like it.

i’m yet to see a reason baran deserves this treatment from robby. she’s not threatening his job, she’s not mistreating patients, she’s not mistreating her coworkers, she’s not negligent, she’s not dangerous; she’s not egotistical or cruel or vindictive or conniving or a liar. why should she be underfoot? the idea that she needs to submit to his authority and let him walk all over her and treat her like shit in the waning hours of his tenure would never be floated in regards to a male character. a man would never be asked to stop taking up space on behalf of another man on the way out.

baran has been nothing but the consummate professional and that is still not good enough. Wife and The Matriarch must grovel and take her place under The Patriarch for these people to be comfortable with her character. it feels like some people have been waiting to use their misogyny (both internalized and not) on a woman that robby has a “valid” reason to hate, not realizing they’re playing directly into the patriarchy.

people take "drug seeking is a nonsense framework" to mean that like, no one ever lies to get drugs in medical contexts which is just categorically untrue but the question they don't bother to ask themselves is "why do people feel the need to lie to get drugs?" which leads into the further question of "why would someone abuse stimulants/opioids/etc" which is like. i feel like kinda the major question one should ask no. why do people do drugs. what reasons might someone have to lie. why do we exist in a system in which people feel the only way to make decisions with their own body is to lie to medical professionals.

thewrithingsouth

drug seeking is a nonsense framework not because people don't ever lie to get drugs for recreational use or whatever but because people shouldn't have to go through medical hoops to get drugs period. regardless of if for recreational use or otherwise.
