#Make Racists Scared Again 2026

[creatingblackcharacters]

Share if you want people to know they should be scared to be racist around you 👊🏾

[creatingblackcharacters]

"making them afraid will make them more racist" that's wild to me, because we live in a whole culture of social consequences for antiracism anyway. It is literally safer to be a racist than it is to speak up against it, socially.

Idk about you, but "I'm afraid no one will want to be my friend if I'm a white supremacist" seems like a pretty logical thought process to have, and I wish THAT were the normal and not "I'm afraid my friends will hate me if I tell them they made racist jokes".

[bitchautism]

can everyone get woke again. I miss her. I miss woke.

[bitchautism]

and by woke I mean aware of racism. the original meaning. don't do stupid bullshit here. woke = aware of racism . ok

As pride month starts I want to remind everyone that staff have been banning and censoring trans women unfairly for years and not to give these assholes any credit for anything ever. Do not forget to fight for your sisters, especially your sisters of color.

importing one of my comments over here so i can find it again later:

Spartan-IVs got introduced in a bad bad way back around Halo 4. They were written as unserious and fratboyish there, and instead of making them "fun" for the audience it just tanked their credibility and the damage has taken a really long time to repair.

Rubicon Protocol was the first time I really actually liked a Spartan-IV portrayal. They feel dedicated, serious, and extremely capable within their expertise while also they have unique vulnerabilities if it's not possible to maintain their armor. I really enjoyed them going forward in Edge of Dawn too, Kelly Gay gets it. Horvath is a standout character, I'm glad he got to live, and I would love to see more of him in-game.

Spartan-IVs are an interesting premise because they're the "ethical" Spartans because they are "adult volunteers"... but how ethical is the weaponization of another human being, exactly? There's a line in the Spartan field manual (silly source I know, but stay with me) that talks about how the maximum Spartan lifespan is not currently known but "we expect your peak fighting days will exceed a century." Not just you will live a long life but your fighting days. The implication that by signing on for this, you're with the UNSC for the rest of your useful, operational life and that is going to be a damn long time. And hell, look at Horvath. Horvath had suffered a debilitating spine injury that was taking him extensive therapy to improve from. Can we really say that the government asking a disabled man if he'd fight for them forever in exchange for getting his mobility back is a totally above-board action?

I like Spartan-IVs capable, dedicated, and morally gray when you get down into the guts of what they've agreed to do to themselves and the use they've agreed to put themselves to. I like when they are heroic and save the day, and we're getting that done pretty well in the material around Zeta Halo. I would also like to see more doubt about what happens when you think you're a hero who saves people, and you get put in a situation where it's not easy clean good guys vs bad guys. They tend to go cartoonishly evil with Spartan-IVs that turn their back on the UNSC and Mickey is the closest that's been to interesting. (But I think this is not the priority while action is focused on Zeta and the Ark.)

Toniteeeee

[casgirl]

I try not to go Back There. But the fact that the pop cultural legacy of the sequel trilogy is a million reylo clones with the serial numbers filed off to make them somehow even blander. When it should have been FINN it should have been characters like FINN we should have a BILLION thinly veiled ripoff Finns we should have a finnpoe or at least finnrey fanfiction industrial COMPLEX. Instead we have ALI HAZLEWOOD

Every single Power Ranger, you say?

[gandalfsbignaturals]

learning to notice an absence of people of color is crazy. you start seeing it everywhere. ill see a random pic of characters or people or whatever and be like "these are all white people. why"

[gandalfsbignaturals]

all the babies in those baby youtube video memes. humanized character posts. like. its the little innocent shit. and like, the people making those baby memes probably arent seeking out white babies. maybe theyre just easier to find. but why are they easier to find? a complicated question, surely... but you know what it probably comes down to. someone, somewhere, maybe a lot of someones in a lot of places, made a choice. maybe knowingly, maybe not. but they made a choice. it starts to make you feel like a conspiracy theorist!!

[tartrazeen]

It's also interesting seeing photosets of images here of various illustrations, and all of them are white

"I notice you have a very specific art style."

"oh that doesn't mean anything"

"Like I said."

[storyweavingspider]

The thing is that it IS a conspiracy, its literally just the conspiracy of White Supremacy. Its just right there, proven. Shit, they didn't let Black people be in commercials until what, the 50s? And we surprised when shows and ads and culture in White Supremacy Land (that wasn't ripped straight out of Black folks hands anyway) are all-white, all the time?

Shit, look at how many popular memes with Black folks either depict us negatively, or the Black origin gets completely erased if not (think tik-tok dances, etc.). Half the time we ain't even looking at the absence of us, we're looking at them dancing in the skin off the corpse of what we made.

Wanna really put yourself into hell? Start counting how many BIPOC are showing up to your "community events". Start figuring out what the demographic ratios for your events are. Its one thing to think "oh we had a 120+ person event with a dozen people of color" its another to think "our event was only 10% people of color, where did WE fuck up here?" (If you think I'm exaggerating know that gods I am not, just ask DC and the DC Klans Picnic, 5% Black in a 50% Black city)

You HAVE to start noticing this. You have to start thinking about this in your online spaces too because of the BIPOC Attention Tax. This shit actively holds us back. This shit actively kills us - look at Tinu and Fiqah (sassycrass) who died despite being well known, well loved Black women and disability activists, because they couldn't make enough mutual aid to pay for medical needs.

Start noticing who's not in the room with you. Start noticing who you ain't seeing.
