wanting ppl to not be antiblack is nawt having high standards like...being unbothered by racism Isn't normal behavior
anger about antiblackness isnt a personal grievance just bc im fucking bored or whatever my god its a SYSTEMIC problem that yt ppl participate in whether they own up to it or not. and whatever, call it "targeted" bc i have the language to call ppl on the shit they do PUBLICLY
yt ppl would rather tell black people to leave the fandom or that "not everyone is cut out for it" than make fandom a safer space for black folks. black ppl deserve less space for escapism than u?? thats really where u wanna stand?
goose ꔛ@goodboigoose.bsky.social · 3mo agoask a yt person for some self awareness or reflection and they start sweatin like it was a personal attack lmao
but if ur a bad writer intent on fetishizing bigotry as necessary to emphasize one's queerness then maybe that's compelling bc ur just recreating ur blorbos in ur own image 🙂
if u can come around super easily to justifying misogynistic behavior by "making it queer" bc it's "ur precious blorbo" then u Actually dont really gaf about misogyny nor the harmful implications of conflating queer masculinity With misogyny
needing to reevaluate a lot of relationships very quickly for my own sake
20s is kind of fucked because you try to set boundaries and everyone and their dog makes you out like the most evil person in the world for trying to have boundaries and then it's ingrained in you that if you try to set boundaries ever you're the problem
or mostly just becomes love triangle tension for darem. sam gets Rebooted to have a white dad in her storyline. a lot of this is just every character is underdeveloped and the ensemble is poorly handled overall. but Not One black mc has another black mc as their strongest connection
thok Literally Disappears from the show. the chancellor's feelings about caleb matter more than caleb's feelings about, well, Anything. and a lot of caleb's screentime is him enduring microaggressions and just straight up aggressions from his white gf. jayden is regularly sidelined 1/2
goose ꔛ@goodboigoose.bsky.social · 6mo agoalso i dont vibe with Literally Every Single black character being saddled with either a white love interest or a white pseudo parent (or both in caleb's case) like it just feels Off and it Stands Out to me
and Again academy uses the diversity of its cast to distract from the harmful things it normalizes: a carceral academic institution, the unchallenged existence of a "war college", automatic dismissal of critique of institutional violence, white saviorism, extremely placative politic framed as "hope"
"it's my style!" well your style sucks ass then "you just dont understand art fundamentals/color theory!" nah it seems like You dont understand Values brush up on That "youre assuming the worst in me!" well, your response proves i was right to so...
when artists are asked to be mindful of lightening a black character's skintone in their work and they get all haughty and defensive like Oh i Know who You are....
the thing about trek fandom is it's full of ppl who think theyre more radical than they Actually Are but Consistently settle for the bare minimum...
"there was no valid criticism! everyone who hated it was a troll or bigot!" nooo u just lend more credence to a brick wall than u do Actual black ppl with Concerns about the rhetoric being presented to them. bc it doesnt feel good to realize u have the same blind spots the show does
yeah im Really Distraught that they canceled the show that had the white villain riff off of the real life language of Black liberation only to shut down the validity of his anger and criticisms....what a loss i mean gosh that sure is the rhetoric i wanna see on tv that sure is the Hope i believe in
may as well ask here how do you deal with mineral deposits on your dishes
