me: mmm this thing this person said rubs me the wrong way, but they probably didn't mean it like that, I'm just overreacting, there's no need to block them or respond

watching yourself being replaced by people better than you

this post is depressing af lets get some alley-oops in here

My other new bit has been mentioning really obvious stuff as “eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed—“

okay couple things, I know that these comments are well meaning but this is not a fish for webtoons recommendations or suggestions on how to flip these tropes. this is me asking for you to sit and think about why these tropes exist in the first place. and why they're so widespread. a majority of the queer artists that make art and get popular off of their art are white thats a given. I feel like low-key when it comes to the majority of art I see and what art gets popular; when it comes to white wlw/sapphic/etc artists they wanna show how idk, woke they are with their art so they try to get in as many brown/black ocs as they can to ship with their white ocs. the problem arises when they showcase certain like romantic and sexual dynamics in their art but they don't think about it past service level 'this is what gets me off'. like, for starters why do you associate darker skin and/or blackness with like aggressiveness, strength, servitude and carnality? why is that?

some of us just don’t want to read problematic white authors so ao3 is our only option 🤷‍♀️
