About Online Threats Abuse & Misogynoir Towards Black Women in the Entertainment Industry...

Susan Wokoma appeared on the Woman's Hour on BBC Radio recently and she bravely spoke out on the letter of support she and Somalia Seton put together to support Francesca Amewudah-Rivers, as well as speaking candidly on the effects the online abuse that Black women face have...

I IMPLORE people in these fandoms, especially where harassment of Black women happens to listen to this podcast to understand what it does. Listen below:

There is a very white tendency to either make the focus their own sympathetic reaction to a Black woman entertainer being bullied/harassed like this (crying or feeling bad for it happening to them) or minimize what's happening. "It's only one or two" or "They'll probably never see it." And I get the tendency to want to either distance or somehow equalize it to the harassment white women face, as well...but there is a particular nastiness that comes with misogynoir that gets at literally wanting to dehumanize and punish a Black woman for existing. The intention is to destroy them completely, rather than put in place. Anyway, I encourage anyone who cares about Black women in fandom to give the segment interviewing Susan Wokoma, a listen.

I feel like if folks had thought - like, really thought - about how a-term-which-I-shall-not-utter-here, that is currently being used to scapegoat Black users and critical analysis writers that don’t sign-off on everything with a “it doesn’t effect reality” attitude, it wouldn’t have become a legitimized term on such a widespread scale.

But folks didn’t, and now we have juvenile dog-whistle (a term I’m not using incorrectly or lightly), coined by individuals who fancy themselves progressives (despite doing the most vile and racist shit, and couching behind the language of social justice and abolition), being used by actual anti-racist media consumers and academics writing about patterns in fandom.

And there’s no real thought to how they wound up where they are.

...Mostly because they think the terms innocuous and personally have no issue with using it to describe any subset of persons or communities “on both divides”.

Folk chose to argue using those terms, and now they’re stuck in a frame-of-reference that there is no reshaping, and damages nuanced discussion.

i saw someone talk about how they have to prepare the future actor for Nico di angelo. But the real question is how are they going to prepare the paid guinea pig actor in s2?? That tiny little animal has to look scared, insecure and at the same time, has to look like a simp.

#imagine the casting call being like “has to look like it's in love” i can almost imagine them going through a bunch of guinea pigs #And being like “ok oreo just act like you are simping for a 13 year old" #and being like “this is the one!!” And giving it little hamster treats and imagine walker keeping it like a pet #percy jackson #annabeth chase #pjo #rick riordan #percabeth #pjo fandom #heroes of olympus #pjo tv show #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo tv series #annabeth percy jackson #percy x annabeth #percy pjo #percy series #percy and annabeth #perseus jackson #annabeth #percyjackson

This is the late icon, Dwayne McDuffie, one of the first noted black comic writers.

He has written all kinds of heroes for both Marvel and DC and created Static Shock. The whole thing is good, but I've cued this up to a particular part because I'm looking at the reactions to Marie surviving Homelander, and what he says here is evergreen.

Was gonna create an account on the fandom subsite of Mastodon, but of course BNF a-holes are the ones behind the moderation of the subsite.

"Yagami Light as a youtuber would probably plagiarise" WRONG Yagami Light is insanely intelligent and looks down on literally every single other human person, he would rather stab himself in the eye than using the works of someone else - someone who can't be anything but beneath him. Pre-Death Note youtuber!Light would make long-ass videos about Everything Wrong With Society with completely unhinged takes about how xyz small innocuous thing is responsible for gang violence with numbers* to back it up.

"Light would plagiarise" get the fuck out of here.

*numbers which he completely twists to his own bias - without even knowing it because he thinks way too highly of himself

#imagine thinkinig yagami light - self-proclaimed god and arbiter of justice - would ever stoop! #to passing someone else's work as his own!!! #to him it would be like if he picked up trash off the side of the road and said 'look what i made'. girl please #blue fandom ramblings #death note #i am going to Entertain op's premise and read the rest of the post now but #i had to get this out of the way first

do you guys understand how lucky we are to have been watching this play out day by day? episode by episode? we're not getting here after the fact. we did not watch this after finding a list of "canon bisexual characters". we have been in this journey with buck from minute one and i am just... it feels so fucking special and i will be forever grateful.

#like i have been watching this show episode by episode since season 2 #and i have been part of the fandom since late season 4 #and now... #LOOK!!! #evan buckley #911 spoilers #911
