It's so crazy how "Don't feed the trolls" was like the Motto of the internet & in forum culture of the 00s and early 10s and now you log onto a certain website and it's just an endless sea of people pouring gruel into the troll trough day in day out and no one seems to realize or care that their internet experience being a constant deluge of misery and bad faith discussion might in fact be their own fault

[Let’s meet again in all our future lifetimes]

My piece for the TEAM AVATAR charity fanzine! It was an honour (sorry Zuko!) to be invited; drawing these kids again after so long was super nostalgic! The text up top is a more formal way of saying BFFs (友誼萬歲 lit. friendship for ten thousand years). Cheers for supporting the project! STORE (I’ll have some copies of the zine up soon)

Reasons Why Fans of Color Leave/Don’t Interact with Fandom

  • Casual racism that is brushed off as “an innocent mistake” or “they didn’t mean it” and then everyone pretending like it didn’t happen and moving on with their day (repeat)
  • Speaking over fans of color about issues that pertain to them specifically
  • When fans of color speak out about something that makes them uncomfortable or why that don’t interact with it (usually because of the racial/ethnic bias) they are accused of being anti’s or pro-censorship
  • Characters of color being used as scapegoats/bashed/plot devices 
  • Characters of color never getting happy endings/real development
  • Backlash against characters of color if they do anything other than be a white character’s side kick/best friend
  • Actors of characters of color being harassed for something their character did or didn’t do
  • White characters/actors getting all the attention/credit despite the fact that they are a side character to a POC or on the same level as the POC
  • Fanfic authors patting themselves on the back for writing a “realistic” character of color and it’s just a bunch of stereotypes
  • Being told that they should be happy they were even included when they call out the above people
  • White fans crying about persecution/exclusion because their fav character/trope/kink/ship isn’t loved by all 
  • Fan artists re-imaging characters of color as white/lightening skin tone
  • Everyone rushing to a white fans defense after a well deserved call out while the fan of color receives hate
  • Never having a safe fandom space and always having to be on guard with new people/fandoms/chats etc because they’ve been burned before

- fetishization and depersonalization of characters of color (to serve the white character’s narrative)

- (re)writing characters of color as abusive and/or violent to infantilize white characters

- being asked to explain why ___ is racist when it’s been spoken about at length or could be googled

-characters being white washed in canon and it being played off as “just an art style” (winx club)

  • fan content creators making brown/black characters more aggressive/violent/bigger/more threatening
  • racist AUs, genreshifting AUs where brown/black characters are nonhuman
  • explicitly black/brown characters not existing unless they’re nonhuman fantasy species but “coded” i.e. white humans and dark elves

• Measuring characters of colour by impossible standards that are almost never applied to white characters. If they’re “nice” they’re boring and bland, if they’re “mean” their faults and mistakes will be brought up every single time they show up. It’s almost like they can never win.

• Writing them out in fandom content while other white characters get major roles. And this happens to characters of colour who are major characters in the original material!

• On the flip side, villainizing them to the point where the characters written cannot even be recognized from what they were in canon.

#oof#racism#race#fandom#fandom racism#it's amazing how many boxes *** *** checks off huh#i'd also like to add fandom excusing the actions of white characters but refusing to do the same for characters of colour#OR...white characters being forgiven for their mistakes but the mistakes of characters of colour are constantly brought up#OR...fandom putting white characters up on a pedestal for all their hardwork even though characters of colour did just as much work too#OR fandom hating on a ship that includes a character of colour and a white character#(this includes canon as well for not following through with interracial ships...)#i'll stop here 🙃
