#racist abuse

[spite-and-waffles]

I stan nobody but if I stan anyone I stan Candice Patton and her Iris West. The absolute hailstorm of racism, misogynoir, trauma and alienation this lady and her character has been subjected to from the get-go is unreal. And yet for nine whole years she breathed beauty and warmth and genuineness into her character, even when delivering the worst lines of dialogue she was made to say that she knew would cause huge backlash (apologies for linking Screen Rant. Broken clock etc.). She co-founded "Shethority" with her friends Maisie Richardson Sellers and Caity Lotz in the wake of the Kreisberg scandal. And she always put herself on the line to speak out and hold her bosses accountable as much as possible.

All this while her character was barely allowed to kiss her co-star onscreen, let alone act with the same casual sexuality of any other married TV couple in a 7pm slot, under the guise of The Flash being a "family show". My heart broke for how utterly worn down and traumatized she was by the end, because not only did Berlanti Studios or the CW not protect or accommodate their Black artists and those of colour, they're also known for subjecting them to racist, misogynistic harrassment and severe exploitation of even their white male talent. This woman wasn't allowed a Black hairdresser or makeup artist for eight seasons, was only allowed to show her natural hair on-screen after five years, and had to watch her black co-stars being sidelined, suppressed and subjected to all manner of indignity with little space to offer solidarity or speak out (I don't care if Berlanti hired them for Love, Simon, the way his fucking studio treated Keiynan Lonsdale was a crime). Even her co-star Grant Gustin only woke up and came to her defence against the online abuse hurled her way eight years in.

Berlanti has cultivated a wholly unearned reputation as an envelope-pusher for the gay community in the entertainment industry, while playing it so safe that the gay couples in his shows are barely allowed to make out– the same way they treat interracial couples with one white partner. His buddy Kreisberg finally met his downfall after sexually harrassing the female workers in his shows for four years, but Marc Guggenheim, Wendy Mericle and Geof Johns are also known racists and misogynists. Even after Stephen Amell's breakdown, Ruby Rose going public with her physical trauma, firing Superman and Lois's Black writer Nadria Tucker, numerous attempts by Black actresses to speak on their working conditions in the CW, and the consistent bald misogyny, ableism and racism of these shows' storylines, the white queers in fandom continue to valorize Berlanti. Now with the release of Red, White and Royal Blue on Amazon Prime in August, again using a Mexican director and characters of colour to use QPoC fans as a shield and buttress, Berlanti's stock is going to be even higher.

The Flash had the potential to be a truly great show, and Candice's Iris West a real foothold for Black actresses and interracial romances in the white-dominated TV entertainment industry. Instead it was just another opportunity for it to grind them to dust. Just like so many other Black women and WoC who try to lead the charge. But through it all, Ms. Patton held the line. Y'all never deserved her. I hope she gets to heal and move onto projects that value her and allow her her full range of voice and expression, that recognizes and rewards her incredible talent and work ethic.

Fuck Berlanti, fuck the CW and fuck DCtv.

The Disciplinary Committee of the Professional Football League (LFP) in France has decided that Olympique de Marseille will  be sanctioned for "use of pyrotechnic devices and oral expressions observed" during the match against Troyes.  This means that they will have fewer supporters present for two matches at the Velodrome against Angers and Brest.

Some Filipino art now.

Yes I am aware of claims of racist abuse of Filipinos in various countries.  Well, that is to be expected because they are in countries that don’t belong to them.  However, had they stayed in the Philippines, they still would be abused for being of low social class and poor.  It’s one thing to cite racist abuse in foreign countries, but they can’t even speak out in their own countries.

If countries like the Philippines care about their ‘peoples’ then you would do what you can to improve communities there so they don’t have to flee to foreign climes.

Moreover, in certain countries, all their ‘foreigners’ or what is considered ‘foreign’ are all treated horribly, unless they are of a certain social class and stature.

Truly, it’s only those of lower classes and financially poorer who fare poorly all over the world, regardless of where they go.  However, in a few remote areas in regions of the world, some foreigners can actually better themselves.  Like New York City.  That’s why it is too expensive to reside here.

I mean that country even had a Black President, and still those of color are treated so poorly in general.

I own 5 towns in York.  They are all my chattel.

I love how Ed treats Stede so gently. He's always so careful with him. He has this special soft voice he only uses with Stede, when they kiss he cradles Stede's face like he's the most precious thing he's ever held.

Ed doesn't know yet that Stede has probably never felt love before him. He doesn't know that Stede has never been given such care in his entire life. But still, his instinct is always to give Stede all the gentleness he can muster.

It's all the more poignant because Ed doesn't have a blueprint for this. He was raised in an abusive household and grew up in piracy, famously a culture of abuse. Many of the times he's cared for people, he's had to watch them get hurt in front of him (his mom, Felix the cabin boy, etc.). But this reaffirms that even though he grew up with his terrible abusive father and then Hornigold as examples of how men should act, Ed's instinct is never violence or even roughness. It's to treat the man he loves with gentleness and care and hold him with all the love in the world.

#ofmd #our flag means death #i'll never not be insane about this #if you think ed's destined to become abusive then i'm hunting your racist ass for sport

[genderkoolaid]

woah you idolize a skinny white feminine cis woman that's so original and radical. is your eyeliner also sharp enough to kill a man. i bet you're super normal about black men & trans people too

#anyways something something the way that white skinny cis women are ALWAYS the idolized version of female violence #and this aesthetic is so deeply tied to trfs and racist fatphobes and abusers #m.

The idea that Tommy, a closeted gay man who was desperately trying to fit in in a hyper macho and discriminatory environment, isn't allowed to have any growth from when he was over compensating and was a dick to Chim really pisses me off. He literally had canonical growth to the point he was going for drinks with Chim and Hen in Bobby Begins Again and they got him a fancy leaving cake.

Why isn't he allowed to grow and be better? Because he's white? Because he "gets in the way of buddie"? Because no one is allowed to say and change at all over a decade?

Like this is a queer fandom and I'd bet a lot of money that a ton of people in this fandom said and did things they weren't proud of when they were younger, especially before they came out so they could try and hide it.

I know this is quite a young fandom too but like, it was literally only a decade ago when "gay" was an insult at school and doing anything that could be get you accused of being gay was fucking social suicide. You guys have no idea how lucky you are that people at least get called out for that shit now cause they didn't when I was a kid. I would have done almost anything to just be ignored, let alone accepted, rather than being openly bisexual.

So yeah, I think Tommy is allowed to fucking change as a person because Bobby, Chim and Hen came into his life and allowed him to stop repressing. Stop being such fucking assholes. You aren't any better than him, and frankly the way some of you behave makes the way Tommy acted when he was first in the show look like a fucking saint. Touch some grass.

#911 abc #people are so so so so happy to ignore canon if it allows them to shit on a character they dont like #remarkable how the same people who say tommy isnt allowed to change and be better #are the same ones who accuse anyone who says literally anything negative about hen or chim of being racist #while openly justifying any abuse of athena because shes a cop #at least have consistency if youre going to refuse to respect all the characters #it just makesnyou look stupid otherwise #tommy kinard #am i a buddie shipper? yes #but i grew up in the era of fucking teen wolf #i can love with my faves not getting together #but the most important thing is a story that feels real #i cant see a way that buddie wouldnt happen somehow for the realest story #however if the writers do a good job #then i will still enjoy the ride #i do not want buck or eddie cheating on their oartner with the other #thats just not fun and i would HATE that to be the way bucktommy ended

I feel like some of yall forget that Damian was spoilt to death and treated like a prince, which is where his snarky bratty personality comes from. Remove that and you remove a core of Damian's character. It makes no sense.

#also you can be abused without the 2D villain physical abuse #and recently all the racist writing does is make the al ghuls 2D villains #sad because in the newer writing for talia at least she's shown to be a good parent or at least like; not BAD at best #yaplaint #damian wayne #ras al ghul #talia al ghul #theyre trying to improve her writing but fanon loves to make her evil to lift up the male or yt characters

actually let’s play another game.

you’re a 17/18, new to town. you hate this town and resent your stepsister because you blame her for the move (her dad wanted custody, and her mother and your father refused to give it to him).

she’s been out all day, and you don’t give a fuck, but your dad is pissed and is forcing you to find her.

you have to drive all over town to find her and eventually do, but this guy you know in school says she isn’t in the house.

what do you do?

a. get into the house, get your sister and leave?

b. beat the guy up, get your sister and leave?

or

c. make your way into the house, tell your sister you are going to “break” her young black friend as a “punishment” for her continuing to hang out with him despite you telling her he’s the “wrong” sort of friend to have. then lose yourself in a blind rage and nearly kill your classmate because he stopped you from beating up a thirteen year old.

people getting angry when abuse victims relate to billy hargove and sympathize with him because abused children who are never out from under their abusers thumb will lash out and be angry as a fear response since that’s all they’ve ever known is WILD

#how about not see him in only black and white #there’s something to be said for shades of gray #it’s why i love Harringrove fics #because they give him that environment where he can grow as a person and learn what it means to be kind and to love #and to get that in return #instead of only getting pain from everyone around him #what a shock that abused kids will lash out at others in an attempt to #to express their own pain #??? #don’t even get me started on people who call him racist i could go on and on omg #people when the teenage boy finds his little sister in a house with strange men and is lied to about it and #he saw one of those boys threatening her previously: #yeah there’s no reason for him to be angry or upset here #anyways #billy hargrove deserved better #billy hargrove #stranger things #harringrove #harringrove fandom #cw abuse #tw abuse #child abuse
