anyways I sent this complaint to the BBC about the racism in The Giggle

I can't believe I have to spell this out for a professional broadcasting company, but making the first Black Doctor run around without trousers on, in nothing but his pants and a shirt, is not okay. The fact that the moment he exists he's also comforting the white Doctor is also not okay. This show has had a very bad habit of treating Black characters like disposable comic relief who only exist to support the white characters, and never has that been more blatant than with the new Doctor, played by Ncuti Gatwa. I shouldn't have to explain to you that it's a racist stereotype that Black people only exist to serve the needs of white people around them, not just physically, but emotionally. Black people, when not portrayed as violent thugs, are shoved into the role of "shoulder to cry on" and "therapist friend" constantly, most infamously with the "mammy stereotype", which you can open google and look for if you don't already know. The first Black Doctor should not immediately be falling into racist stereotypes by not only being upstaged by the most popular white Doctor to come before him, but literally made to cater to this white man's whims the second he starts existing, comforting and coddling him like a child, and all the while? He has no trousers on and is half naked, and literally stays that way for the entirety of his first episode. If you want this show to NOT be filled with nothing but antiblack stereotypes, you NEED to hire Black sensitivity readers to go over white people's work. This failure to do so in 2023 is making Doctor Who racist again, and it is unacceptable. You will not get any credit for hiring a Black person to play the Doctor if his entire run is filled with white people's favorite modern racist stereotypes. Learn what racist stereotypes look like, listen to Black people, hire Black sensitivity readers, and do better. It's going to be 2024 in just a few weeks. This is a requirement for your show not being racist. 

If you're also upset about the racism being showcased in literally just the first episode of Ncuti Gatwa's run as the Doctor, send in a complaint here and tell them to get their shit together.

The Deadman Walking tornadoes are not part of any Native American beliefs, people just assume it is because it's spooky and associate that with brown people. If someone makes a post saying "I'm not sure which native american tribe says this-" that's usually a sign they are talking out of their a**

I'm so sorry I'll go make a note of it on the post! you're here because of this reblog

Stuff bout Panty and Stocking

I feel like anyone getting into Panty and Stocking or rbing stuff of it should be aware that the show is p rancid a lot of the time. I say that as someone who enjoyed the show but is now becoming more aware of how..much the show aged like milk. I still enjoy it now but I hella realise so much of it is super fucking yikes and there should be more warnings and awareness about the contents within the show, namely the racist stereotypes within it as well as various sexual and gross subject matter. And to those who absolutely dislike and hate the show, you are completely valid in that. I do worry about the second season and hope they change a lot, esp regarding the racist stereotypes. It’s 2023, that shit can’t fly. Pls pls whomever is making the second season, make it better, change the gross shit.

forgive me if you've been asked this before or if its annoying, but how did you learn to use colored pencils like that? your art is so special to me.

ty :) I took an art class for a few years where our teacher had us buy prismacolor pencils as one of the art supplies and had us use them kinda like paints, pressing down hard right away and blending the colors together. its not how youre supposed to use them she was just trying to teach us to use color and ig this was more to the point. I picked them up again years after i stopped going to that class just bc they were there and i wanted to play around w them a bit and ended up actually enjoying it when doing it on my own terms lol

#it was a weird class #it was just this russian lady doing private lessons in her house that my mom learned about somehow #I did NOT like those classes all we did was still life and they were hours long which is esp rough when im in high school and busy #and she wanted us to stand while working the whole time bc tradition i guess? #she did allow me to work sitting but thought i was lazy for it. idk dude i dont want to exhaust myself fast for no reason #standing is a lot more tiring than walking #i def did still benefit from those classes just from learning to accurately draw from life #did not like the teacher tho #on one hand shed paid for the art supplies for kids whos families were too poor to (and these are nice expensive supplies) #which is very nice #but on the other she was very homophobic and open about it #like when they legalized gay marriage she went on a rant about how horrible it is that they can adopt kids now #and also kind of racist #she was telling me how she got blocked from a facebook group bc she made a post asking if she could speak to a white person #and she didnt realize she was posting that publicly she thought it was a private message to the group owner #im honestly still not sure i heard/understood her correctly bc it was so bizzare and the only time i ever remember her being racist #she talked abt it like she genuienly was unaware it was racist #she described it as a misunderstanding bc she accidentally posted it publicly instead of privately #like it wouldnt have been racist to ask that at all #also one time she talked about how she saw demons in her home once #also she doesnt vaccinate her kids bc of microchips #she was like a walking russian stereotype lol #anyway heres some ink the artist lore

I went to the super attractive island and there were so many people with acne and eczema, in wheelchairs, and with dysmorphisms

#that other post was about racist stereotypes and i didnt feel comfortable adding ableist stereotypes to it #so im making my own #because disabled and sick people are hot as hell actually #please dont misinterpret this post it's not fetishism its just strongly ascertaining that disabled people are attractive as people #all stars

[calware]

i wish that as a character, gamzee was treated more like a person and less like. a hazardous force of nature

#i feel like as soon as murderstuck starts he becomes more and more dehumanized #which i guess can be an interesting way to portray becoming more and more corrupted by cal/LE but at the same time. the fact that he's also #a racist and ableist stereotype makes me feel uneasy about it

Your post about sci-fi slavery came across my dash - it seems like you've read the whole Murderbot series, and "regular" slavery is definitely a thing that comes up, in the form of peoples' lifelong forced indentured servitude to corporations on colonies or mining facilities. Just seemed like a odd bone to pick, when it's there pretty clearly (in Artificial Condition, Network Effect, and System Collapse at least).

Referencing this post probably. Or this related one.

Yes, I am aware there's other forms of slavery in this series, and no it's not an odd bone to pick, because the only other slavery that exists in the series is always in the background and always off-screen and never the main focus of any story.

It's not taken seriously, just like the main form of slavery isn't either.

The plot of System Collapse, no pun intended, collapses in on itself as soon as you think about it for more than five seconds, because the entire premise is that the people need to agree to be enslaved in the first place. Which isn't how slavery works.

Whether or not "regular" slavery is also a thing in the setting (only ever in the background!) does not fix the fact that the major form of slavery in the setting is the fake kind that doesn't actually exist and doesn't understand how actual oppression works, and plays into slavery apologism.

And Martha Wells can't even take the fake version of slavery she's invented seriously and treat it with the gravity that it's due, why should the fact that there's so-called 'regular' (not even) slavery in the setting only in the background fix the main problems I pointed out with my original post?

Again. Cannot stress it enough. The plot of System Collapse is that people have to agree to be enslaved before they can be enslaved and all they have to do is say no and boom. Suddenly you can't enslave them.

That is not how slavery or oppression work at all. That's just a whole new brand of victim blaming and slavery apologism to come out of this series. And it's not the first. Murderbot literally argues all the time that other constructs should remain enslaved because otherwise they'd just murder everyone. That's not even fantasy slavery apologism, that's just straight up antiblack slavery apologism that was and still is used to defend real life slavery.

I recommend you try rereading the series. Because we have seven whole books out now and it shouldn't have taken more than two for Murderbot to become actually anti-slavery but even in book 7 we can fucking even have that yet. The only slaves in this series whose lives matter are random humans who don't even get to be actual characters with personalities or matter in any way besides hurting Murderbot's feelings, and Murderbot itself. ART tears an enslaved construct to fucking peices while they're still alive and it's treated as perfectly reasonable and Badass™ instead of the most horrific fucking torture and cruelty.

I don't know how to tell you or anyone else reading this that thinks this series is good at handling slavery, but murdering slaves, and literally torturing them to death by literally chopping them into fucking peices while they're alive is in fact incredibly fucking evil and not actually anti-slavery or pro-liberation.

ART could have literally just fucking knocked that person unconcious or, as @walks-the-ages pointed out: get this: Knocked them unconscious and disabled thier fucking governermodule. ART is the most advanced fucking bot in the damn series, it can do anything it wants. Am I supposed to believe it can't hack governer modules? Am I supposed to pretend that it had no choice but to CHOP A LIVING PERSON INTO PEICES TO TORTURE THEM TO DEATH in "self-defence"?

If Murderbot had a story to tell about getting literally chopped to peices while it was still owned by the Company, it would be treated as horrific and traumatic and terrible.

But when one of the literal heroes of the story does that exact fucking gruesome thing to another enslaved person right there on the page, it's perfectly fine and cool and just shows how Badass™ ART is.

That's not fucking arguing that slavery is bad. That's arguing that slavery is bad when it happens to the protagonist.

If you're reading this post, go read the first post I linked too. Here it even is so you don't have to scroll back to the top.

Edit: you've also completely and utterly failed to address any of the things I brought up in that original post, and instead you're just trying to deflect by talking about the other slavery in the setting, even though that doesn't refute my original statements at all.

I can take a silly ass teenager with no common sense talking about fic writers but I’ll be damned if a non black bitch being blatantly racist and a bird ho who’s a single mother of three kids and has custody of none of them speaks on me or my friends.

#you got me fucked up severely #go feed your kids—oh wait #go laugh abt that since ur such a fan bitch #speak on that in the comments #idk what the problem is #but I promise y’all don’t want me to start #sitting up in tiktok comments at ur elderly age making fun of writers #the hell be wrong with you hoes #cherry chats 🍒 #what’s so funny abt the whole thing is that she named every racist stereotype she could #and black bitches in the comments laughing #mind you #I don’t have a single fic of what she described #you self hating hoes couldn’t even outwrite my wattpad fics #just illiterate ugly and bitter #y’all be funny but I’m hilarious dpwm

tlj and tros are such a symbiotic relationship in being garbage bc tlj created a shit second entry therefore making it almost impossible for the trilogy to end well and then tros came along and tried to like. pander to and validate the absolute worst bad faith criticisms of tlj, while also doubling down on all its worst aspects. they made each other worse <3

#tlj writing out literally everyones interesting personalities and sidelining the characters of color #making the entire series centered around a white man and his half assed redemption over everyone else #vs tros validating the racist fanboys who harassed kelly marie tran by all but writing her out of the movie #and further doubling down on pushing poe into racist stereotypes introduced in tlj. and continuing to sideline finn. #avpost

#you know what the worst part of this is???? #it's actually better off they don't exist because you KNOW Meyer will just depict them as RACIST CARICATURES #this tag is sponsored by Maria 'her features were clearly Mexican' [NO LAST NAME GIVEN] #and of course the 'wild' 'feral' Amazons #oh and lest we forget Amun 'all Egyptians look the same' [last name] #OH AND LEST WE FORGET #THE ENTIRE NATIVE TRIBE MEYER APPROPRIATED & COLORED W/ RACIST TROPES & STEREOTYPES JUST TO PROFIT OFF OF W/O GIVING BACK ANYTHING TO THEM #yeah it's such a shame actually this author is so ignorant bc this series could have been batshit insane with coolness #whatever you won't hear me complaining too much - that's what this fandom is for #saddle up twilight bitches we ride at dawn #twilight #twilight renaissance #the twilight saga #twilight saga
