I saw this on Facebook and couldn’t link it for some reason, but I have never laughed so hard. It’s so true and so perfectly put. Someone help me 😂

Fandoms don't hate poc. They hate heterosexual characters.

White women sent hate tweets to John Boyega because he didn't like their I Can Fix My Pet White Boy ship and then cried misogyny when he rightfully called them out on it. The erasure of Finn's character is largely ignored, or it's weaponized in their arguments that RoS was bad when what they actually care about is that Reylo got sunk and Kyle died.

White Voltron fans treated Allura like garbage, and talked over and ignored black girls and women who were uncomfortable with their Space Mommy headcanon. Klance shippers constantly erased her, and Sheith shippers either ignored her or performatively shipped her with Lance—a character they hated and loved to tear down, incidentally—to get her out of the way of their precious Wife Husbandry ship. Even now, her appalling death and Montgomery and Dos Santos's equally appalling indifference to it are ignored in favor of whining about fanon ships. (Klance shippers also frequently exotified both Keith and Lance with Korean and Latino stereotypes to make them sexier, incidentally, and created an entire AU around this after Season 7.)

White Starfire fans and Dickbabs fans alike sent racist harassment to Mame-Anna Diop when she was cast in the role on Titans, and fans are more interested in Raven and the pasty Batman characters than in either Kory or Gar (both of whom are played by nonwhite actors). The show repeatedly mistreats and sidelines both of those characters—two actual Titans, the team the show is supposed to be about—and fandom largely ignores this.

A vocal subsection of the Fire Emblem fandom erases the personalities and goals of the PoC from Three Houses, insisting that they are a hive mind who hate all white people and can only be shipped with each other, and ignore the fact that Claude‚ the only non-white main character, is biracial in favor of arguing that he actually hates all white people when his canon goal is to bring people together. This subsection of fandom regularly harasses fans of color who don't fall in line with this.

Brian W. Foster, a white man formerly associated with Critical Role, QRT’d a woman of color who criticized the show’s Campaign Three intro to childishly mock and dismiss her concerns. This led to his 183k+ followers dogpiling and harassing someone who was offering genuine, rational critique, with a wide variety of slurs thrown at her. His apology was half-baked and generic and made no reference to the specific person whom he used his platform to attack.

And Yennefer of Vengerberg is repeatedly erased and ignored in a show where she is unquestionably the female lead. Her actress, Anya Chalotra, received racist harassment bad enough for her to leave social media, and the character is torn down by fandom so that fans can fawn over—you guessed it!—their white faves.

Characters of color are disdained, warped, erased, infantilized, hypersexualized, and conveniently "have no chemistry" with the white characters. The fans of color are talked over, ignored, harassed, dismissed, or otherwise have their opinions used as a cudgel when they fit a white fangroup's narrative.

Fandoms. Hate. People. Of color.

It’s 2023. Let’s drop the idea that “you’re nothing but not to me” is romantic and instead recognize it as what it actually is: gaslighty, harmful, isolating and just plain evil.

I don't think fic writers know how much they matter

Do you know how many times you distracted me when I was hurt or lonely? Do you know how many times a line or a scene from fanfic marked me so much that I remembered years later, even though I can’t recall my own phone number? 

Even if the fic isn’t perfect or popular or multi-chaptered… Sometimes there’s just one sentence that changed me.

You, miles and miles away, changed me.

I don’t know about you but i know i’m seriously fucked when i see characters interacting and they hit jackpot of almost every, if not all, kinds of dynamics where:

“i have strong feelings toward you but i know once i am able to touch and hold you i won’t know what i should do with these hands when you’re away”

the sun and the moon

the moon and the sea

the sun and the well-loved, dying sunflower

“i’d do anything for you” | “then live for me / live with me”

“i’d kill/die for you. say the word and i’ll do it in a heartbeat” | “no”

“i don’t know where else to go to” | (visibly angry) “who did this to you?”

[in life or death situation] “are you okay? are you hurt?” | “i should be the one asking you that! you’re the one who took the fall for me / who’s bleeding to protect me!”

Basically the all-powerful and capable, and their absolute weakness (still in denial sometimes)

the “what you did is very wrong but everyone deserves a second chance” and the “you’re lucky i took an oath to them (specifically) to not end you / make your life a living nightmare”

“please hesitate” | “i won’t hesitate ever”

the “i am not asking for your permission, don’t come with me” self-sacrificing and reckless dumbass, and their “someone has to watch your back while you’re being stupid. someone more clever and probably in the brink of having a heart attack the moment you take step out there: me”

“everyone looks up to them” | “hard not to when they’re that tall/big tbh”

the brat and the brat-tamer who probably has stiff joints and is grumpy or calmer than the brat most the time

The Lego Movie is something that only happens once in life because you cannot recreate the experience of being dragged to “stupid marketing ploy to sell plastic bricks to 5 year olds” and 90 minutes later come out of “surreal cosmic horror comedy about the existential dread of artistic expression and the meaning of free will with commentary on capitalist oligarchy. To sell plastic bricks to 5 year olds.”

⚠️BLACK PANTHER WAKANDA FOREVER SPOLIERS⚠️

the movie was incredible everyone should watch it but I can't believe killmonger turned up after Shuri lost her mother just to drag her family and basically say "Well me personally I wouldn't let that slide"

BLACK PANTHER WAKANDA FOREVER SPOILERS

do i think shuri and namor make a hot couple? sure do.

am i going to act like a reylo and say people who don’t like them together are dumb. i sure won’t!

he killed her mother!

i just think they’re hot

✋MAJOR WAKANDA FOREVER SPOILERS

I am honestly so glad that it was Kilmonger Shuri met in the ancestral plane bc it proved that had Kilmonger lived, he would have been a terrible king & black panther. This is specifically for the "they should bring back kilmonger and make him black panther instead of shuri" crowd that's been screaming & crying for months. It appears certain fans have failed to realize that while Kilmonger is a fascinating character and one of Marvel's best villains, he is not fit to rule. He is too impulsive and vengeful and his actions would only bring destruction which is exactly what Wakanda Forever proved. When Shuri met him in the ancestral plane, Kilmonger started going on a monologue about how alike they are and how T'Challa was too noble, then asked Shuri if she is more like him or her brother which she replied that she'd make Namor beg for his life (choosing Kilmonger's ways instead of T'Challas). A choice which nearly costs Shuri everything as in the final showdown, despite putting up one hell of a fight Namor basically leaves her for dead while his ppl have the Wakandas surrounded. As Namor is limping away towards the ocean, Shuri makes a final attack which leaves Namor near death. She's about to kill him but doesn't, instead saying that they will protect the secret of his kingdom and both of them return to Wakanda as allies with Namor telling his people to stop fighting and Shuri finally having chosen the right way (T'Challa's way). Not only was this a great way to parallel T'Challa's journey in Civil War but it also showed everyone that he was the kind of person, and by extension king, others should aspire to be. While someone like Kilmonger, despite being right in what he said, his way of actually achieving his goal was flawed, sth that he still refuses to acknowledge. With his refusal to change and grow as a person, revealing how truly unfit he'd be for a power like the Black Panthers.

[d3andme]

This is my takeaway after spending some time on #Namor twitter

[d3andme]

I’m not gonna spoil anything, but everyone should thank Ryan Coogler for making yet again the best MCU movie.

[d3andme]

“Shuri is stronger than me bc I would’ve accepted Namor’s offer to burn the world down.” Nah, bro. Shuri is stronger than me bc if somebody killed the last of my family, I wouldn’t have spared them no matter how right about colonizers or how kind they’d been to me previously or how hot they were. & I certainly wouldn’t have had the strength to carry on, let alone lead a nation.

That’s where Shuri’s strength comes from, not from rejecting Namor’s proposal.
