#hint: it's the racism

[spacebubblehomebase]

Not art this time but...

Headcanon: Lucifer visits Earth every decade or so as a part of his job as the ruler of Hell. He does it to learn about new sins as "subtly" as he could.

Lucifer: What is ray-sings-sims? Raising-sims? Raisins? Rain-Race-sin? R-Racisms? YES! That! Is it the one where people hate on the opposite sex for absolutely no reason even though humans were all made of the same cosmic dust?

Black woman: (Looking amused at the most stereotypical rich white guy she's ever met asking about sexism and racism.)

Lucifer: Yeah. This cocaine thing is doing nothing for me. I don't really get it, but this is a sin too. So marking that off the list! Thanks for letting me have a go at this, uh, Mr. Dealer? That's your last name, right? Oh man. I'm really bad at remembering names, but have this as a token of my appreciation. (Gives him a thousand dollars which is basically worth even more at the time.)

Drug dealer: (Gobsmacked the guy was still able to keep walking after practically inhaling every drug in existence back then.)

Lucifer: So this, um, cult thing? How did it get assigned to our department again? It sounds just like what Heaven does to me. Huh. Ah well. I guess I'll just roll with it like everyone else here. (Shrugs.) Yay, cult! Sooo do I get to keep the robe? It's kinda comfy- Aw wait there's murder? One died a-and another... Oh... OH... Ooooh boy. Oof. Yikes... So this means I can DEFINITELY keep the robe, right?

Lucifer: Ah yes. Burning the witch. Time to list down all the sorry souls who threw their life into the flame by believing in the occult arts. (Lists down everyone in the crowd who burned said "witch.") And as for Ms. Agnes The Witch here... Hmm. Well, that's for Heaven to worry about! Toodles~! Or, uh, Tickety-Boo!

(Needless to say, dear Luci has been an accidental charmer back on Earth. ^v^ Specially to sinners and people who were just unjustly treated during those times. He just had to see what every sin was for himself and try them out from time to time, but he didn't know he's been perceived as acting with the manners and traditions he gathered from the LAST decade he was on Earth so to everyone who's long gone pass those times, he comes off as a polite old-school rich white man. Naive yet surprisingly non-judgemental.)

"""Progressive""" conspiracy theorists will be like "archaeology and anthropology are tools of colonialism!!!" and then advocate the most racist pseudohistory white people came up with.

#hint hint you can't be progressive and be a conspiracy theorist #all conspiracy theories are about justifying some kind of bigotry #conspiracism #conspiracy theories #conspiracy theorists #pseudohistory #history #archaeology #anthropology #racism #colonialism

The thing is: there's actually absolutely nothing wrong with modern/university/highschool or whatever AUs that take characters originally from japan or china or korea or any other country and plop them in america. There's a huge and varied disapora population in the us, and if the (usually usa) author wants to write about characters in a setting familiar to them that's perfectly normal and fine.

But what gets really jarring is when a fic clearly takes place in the united states but it doesn't know it takes place in the united states. Characters are just going to us-style schools and colleges and eating fluffy pancakes with maple syrup but they're also still using honorifics like -ge or -hyung or -kun and names are said last name – first name so you think ok they live in the usa but speak their native tongue around each other. That makes sense. Except it's never actually mentioned or talked about and no one ever switches to english in public, no one is relieved to have friends from the same ethnicity, no one has family that still lives overseas, no one talks about not being able to get certain ingredients at the grocery store to cook their favorote childhood dishes, and no one in general seems to be even be aware that they're diaspora. As if the fic isn't even meant to be in the us.

It's like the reverse of ace attorney's japanifornia, instead of a los angeles with an incredible amount of japanese cultural influence they live in a japan where everything just happens to be usamerican.

#fanfiction #fandom #complaining and whining about fandom #fandom racism #they... it's like they become white. that's the only way i can describe it. #i didn't mention 'nobody has ever expeirenced racism' in the post #because characters of color don't *need* to experience racism in every fic #but like... they'd know what it is. and they'd know it was a risk. #i don't need them to he hatecrimed on the page #i'm just asking for any awareness at all that the characters are part of a diaspora #or if they're NOT. and this fic is NOT in the us. the barest hint of research into what usa-specific things shouldn't be there #this can happen with any country not just east asian ones but there's a lot of big western fandoms for various media from those 3 #so you see it a lot with korea japan and china especially

going off of what dwreader and ghostfoolish have been saying better than i can:

why do people think louis will still be a believable victim and it won't be racist if the show just has armand mess with louis's memories regarding 1x05 and how claudia died, and also be controlling him throughout the entire interview/relationship? like not only does it paint victims of abuse as unreliable and unstable, therefore not be trusted with anything*, but it also, just, shifts most if not all the blame from a white man to a poc? we've asking this the entire time, but they still don't have an answer for that.

*like statistically speaking victims of abuses' memories might be muddled/repressed from the trauma, so even though they know the abuse happened, people will use the fact that they might not be able to describe an entire fight in specific detail, or got some dates mixed up, or did not speak up sooner, to paint them as mentally ill liars, or even abusers themselves. which is why i think giving louis false memories in 1x05 is still victim blaming in a way, because it encourages the trend of victims not being believed.

#iwtv discourse #fandom racism #yeah like i'm fully confident the creators are smart and can write their show better than i can but #if these little hints and teasing turns out to be a red herring like it did for 1x07 then it regardless might have #encouraged some of the audience to initally just disregard EVERYTHING louis says in season 1 and think he has no agency #which goes against their original statement of not jumping ahead and letting the tale seduce you you know? #i really just want to enjoy the ride and see where the show takes us and love all the stuff we've been given lately it's just #i keep being reminded these fans exist if i'm not careful where i look lol #i do get marketing is a thing and maybe they think they constantly need to tease SOMETHING #a shocking reveal or a revisit promising something more in order to get more seasons seeing as it's so easy for shows to be cancelled now #but like every time new content is released it also brings out the racism

[butchniqabi]

me every time i see a woman in historical film/tv: wheres her body hair

#i dont mean this in a weird way its like. you cant show the smallest hint or armit or leg or even ARM hair??? and for what??? #modern sensibilities built upon misogyny and racism? bffr

[heroicallynude]

wait wait wait I've been seeing so many people up in arms about this new show with Cleopatra portrayed by a black woman, and I thought it was some new blockbuster movie, or a bit HBO show to generate this amount of whining, and its just a documentary series on Netflix???

#people are just LOOKING so an excuse to bitch and moan for no reason #not that the bitching and moaning would've been more justified if it was a bigger project but #you know that 99% of the people making a big stink about this wouldn't have watched the documentary anyway #so why do they care? (hint its the racism)

[thishazeleyeddemon]

can we talk about the trend in fandoms where the characters of color (especially men of color) always have to be like, sex gods?? always the buff confident top. sometimes very overtly sexually aggressive even if it goes against their characterization. can 2024 be the year we quit doing that

#i see it everywhere it's crazy #i see it with fucking PRISMO. just bc his human form is a MOC. smallest hint of melanin and this happens #fandom #fandom racism #fandom woes

[coppermouth]

it's wild here on hockeyblr

#we are fine with going into great detail about our omegaverse eugenics aus where we throw around terms like 'muddying the gene pool' #with total sincerity and not a hint of self-awareness #ignoring that the particular sport we've hitched our wagon to has a major racial diversity issue #but if the media folks for a team prod a bunch of players to butcher a native word they don't know how to pronounce #(even as they all correctly pronounce another native word without a second thought) #*this* is a racism issue #and we will let anyone who disagrees know that this is the case by... using a... um... slur for asian people? for some reason? #not even disagreeing that there are arguments to be made here #but wow we are really picking and choosing aren't we?

begging gay people to listen to anything other than whatever gay white kid's album please. sometimes xxxtentacion's sad can be sns too

#i'm just tired every ship playlist is like lana and mountain goats #lana not even gay but white. it's all so white #white ppl y'all didn't invent being in love and deep abt it #it's also a question of genre tho like why do y'all associate certain genres w certain emotions more #where there's like lyrically similar content across all genres yknow #disclaimer also i'm not trying to makw a deep critique. just complaining #if there's hints of that well. could be the start of that also but it doesn't need to be #it's just the casual racism striking as always

[andersdotters]

Really hate to word it this way, but was there even any mention of anti-melusine sentiment before the 4.1 trailer?

#genshin impact #melusines #'anti-melusine sentiment' #that sounds so dumb and serious at the same time #hello officer i would like to report one (1) racism against a fictional species #no but seriously before the trailer came out i was sitting through the world quests like... #surprised melusines seemed to be so easily accepted into society #like they came from elynas who killed many many people #logically speaking it would make the most sense to fear the beings that were born from it's corpse #but i couldn't find anything not even in the bulletin boards #so suddenly hearing anti-melusine sentiment in the trailer is kinda... #out of the blue #you'd think they'd hint at it

[cistematicchaos]

Okay, who knows the name of that fucker who writes papers on autistic people and claimed that cops "become temporarily autistic" when they murder people and that they can't be held accountable because autistic people are practically brain-dead and don't see other people as people?

#hint: he's a white man #i know someone on here knows #actually autistic #disability #ableism #copaganda #murder #racism #chaos is speaking

It's funny seeing some Bridgerton fans hate on Eloise for her mindset and her approaches to feminism (they should be criticized for sure because, girl, not everyone has the same advantages as you, but I don't think she deserves hate for that as she's still has room to grow and learn) because the other girls and young women around her don't have the same luxuries as her, as the show is set in a world that's literally against women, but said fans will be the same people who go off on Marina and call her a gold digger and so many other nasty names for seeking out Colin, even when the show gives us direct insight into her life and how that's, not only, a big part of the show but that other characters do so as well.

Bridgerton is set during the Regency period, a time when it was literally a woman's duty to find the best match possible and, hopefully, make it up on the social ladder. It was a marriage market for crying out loud. For many, their lives depended on it, as seen with Marina. I've seen some fans want her to be with that ugly old guy, even with the horrific suggestions that may occur from that marriage, but can't fathom her being with Colin for the sake of a better future just because she gets in the way of a ship. Like that is so wrong. Does Eloise have things to work on when it comes to her mindset on women and the world around her? Of course! But the way some fans want to act better than her, but hate on Marina for doing the same thing they say Eloise doesn't understand, nor will have to go through, is laughable.

#bridgerton #eloise bridgerton #marina thompson #i actually think marina and eloise would be great friends (and maybe s2 hinted at that a little?) #marina would definitely put eloise in check when it comes to her views towards women and her privilege #some fans comments towards marina read as borderline microaggressions too (bc what's fandom without racism?) #that was sarcasm #and the fact that ruby barker (the actress) had to endure hate from that certain side of the fandom is really sad to see #she was literally paid by a “fan” to drag her character through the mud just to uplift another

So you're saying that Sarah Winchester *didn't* feel any guilt about obtaining a fortune made from slaughtering Native Americans.

I don't know. She never said either way.

It's quite possible that, as a wealthy white Victorian woman, she never thought much about what the guns were used for (hunting or genocide or wars of various justifications or any of a hundred other uses people found for Winchester guns, ranging from benign to unthinkably monstrous). Or maybe she did- John Hays Hammond, Jr. felt guilty about making his money from radio guidance missile systems in the 1920s, after all. The fact is, we simply have no writings from her on the subject, that I'm aware of.

What I'm saying is just that she did not build her house because she feared the vengeful spirits of Winchester rifle victims, as modern pop history says.

(Also like. To be clear, please don't take joke posts about her attractiveness or posts decrying the myths spread about her life as Stanning. Sarah Winchester was a complicated person with good and bad aspects, like most historical figures, and must be taken as such in any serious discussion of her life.)

#ask #anon #genocide mention #racism mention #sarah winchester #she made money from war and genocide and turned a lot of that money back to #employing workers in her community- including often ostracized Chinese and Japanese immigrants #at like three times the going rate #and free housing #with workers' comp too #so how do we reconcile that? can we? #(hint: there is no single answer to this question because everyone's going to feel differently about it)

listen you could talk at length about how literally any genre of any media has a misogyny problem (hint: it's because media is a reflection of the world we live in, which has a misogyny problem) but you only really see people talking about it in relation to like rap and horror movies. why is that

#i mean. rap i know (hint: the world we live in also has a racism problem) #but horror movies. why? #this has been a post

[omegalomania]

genuine question why are people so against people who don’t like post hiatus ? i really just don’t like most of their post hiatus work but i think prehiatus is some of the best music ever. just confused about why people are so upset that others don’t like mania/post hiatus

i think you'd benefit from having a good long think about why you don't like most of their posthiatus work. maybe have a nice long think on what specifically about it bothers you. the answer might surprise you!

#askin hours #anon #ill give you a hint: a lot of the time its just racism!
