Fandoms will ship two het men who simply breathe next to each other but god forbid a Black woman has a relationship with or even just chemistry with the popular male lead. And this happens in EVERY fandom (see tags for examples) with a prominent Black female character. They were even vehemently against Miles Morales and the Black spider girl (Margo).
It’s just very telling that certain people are suddenly “platonic love/besties/sibling energy only otherwise the show is ruined!!” when the fem character is Black.
It’s ok to not ship characters, but the overwhelming backlash to these specific ones has been so ridiculous and very obviously racially motivated. There are articles now discussing whether harmless shipping of two fictional adult characters is acceptable, and on the cover of them is typically an interracial pairing involving a Black woman…

Why do people hate female characters so much? Incels hate female characters. The yaoi shippers hate female characters, the writers of a show or movie literally either don't know how to write a female character or ruin her story and push her aside. Like what's up with that??
Also, what's up with fandom? Y'all see a man whose gone through trauma and has issues trusting and is just an over all grumpy fellow and you want to hug him.
While a female character goes through the same thing and she's ruining the vibe for y'all??

I want to say that Black girls and women in fandoms are some of the strongest people in the world, but that in and of itself is microaggressive (I’m Black, but still). We put up with a lot of hate, icing out, misplaced jealousy and concern trolling, and that’s even the case when Black female characters are treated well by the narrative, which they often are not. And yeah, we’re still here and everything, but we deserve better.
Fandom is for enjoyment, not having to be the strongest toughest person in the room. I’m older now so I have the benefit of not giving nearly as much of a shit as I did in my early 20s, but I want more for the ones still finding themselves, trying to find community and make art about the things they love.

Shipping isn’t activism, still, from Abbie Mills to Bonnie Bennett to Iris West-Allen to Trina Robinson it’s always disturbing that people have such ugly reactions to Black women and girls being loved and cherished in fiction.

Claims of 'it's forced' every time a black woman is in proximity to a white/light skinned blorbo in canon when nothing has even fucking happened yet is my villain origin story.

The fact that Sleepy Hollow 2013 is an extremely good show. It got all the perfect troupes, great characters and suspense and plot twist. Just all round fun. And the actors were perfect and the dialogues on point. But it's barely remembered. I never see any art of it, no edits nothing. My Instagram will be filled with edits and art from TV shows and movies from years ago but 2023 is the first time I've heard of Sleepy Hollow show that too not because I was recommended it but because I was looking for character inspiration for Twilight on Pinterest 😅😅😅
It's shocking how such a good show is not discovered by newer fans. Not recommended. Not talked about.
And now I know it's because it's own writers and producers ran it into the ground. What a shame. They had no vision. They could have had the best show in existence, But they destroyed it all with their unprofessionalism, racism and a whole lot of mess. And now they suffer the punishment of that.
This show deserves to be rediscovered by newer fans, but I don't know how that would be. There's a certain bitterness to it all.

I've been working on a Sleepy Hollow retrospective on and off for a few years now and every time I think I have all the info to create a great timeline of events something new pops off.
All these bastards will pay for their crimes on how they treated my girl Nicole Beharie.
She elevated their shitty little series. I am mad all over again

Among other things, it’s just the double standard for me. Two people can be sworn enemies and be shipped, people can be different species and be shipped, two people can be full blooded siblings and be shipped, two dudes who talk about their feelings with each other are shipped and seriously guys, more power to you. Go nuts. But ask yourselves why fandoms will get on board with just about any pairing on vibes alone, but only seem to suddenly become passionate about friendship when a Black girl’s involved.
