stand against fandom misogyny

ok so you didn't actually tag Uhura and I do thank you for that.

But considering the fandoms are decades old at this point... did you have to tag st: aos? this has already been discussed ad nauseum.

WRITING UHURA AS A LOVE INTEREST FOR SPOCK WAS NOT COMPHET OR HOMOPHOBIA.

BUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS MISOGYNOIR.

You do not get to declare a black woman character that is iconic to generations of women a lesbian when the series always underwrote her. ffs Leonard and Nichelle were supposed to kiss before Shatner pulled rank. Spock/Uhura also had canon moments in TOS. please keep your mcspirk out of the general star trek 2009 tag it is not appreciated.

however, i would really like to hear your perspective about how my post (specifically the tags, as i acknowledge the post itself was pretty short as it was mostly a joke ab my own headcanon) is misogynoir, because i am not Black so i'm sure there are things i am overlooking. i totally understand if you don't have the space/time to explain or if you've made posts ab this before and don't want to go over it again, though.

I reference black fans because lots of black bloggers have been run off of tumblr in the last 15 years because of the anti black racism. There's been loads of evidence tho and here's a good tumblr post where multiple Black fans have talked about hating AOS Spuhura is misogynoir.

To add, the relationship in AOS is realistic in the sense that she speaks up to advocate for herself (see: ST 2009), and brings up unhealthy behaviours (see: STID), no matter who she's talking to (Spock). She uses her voice, as a senior officer and member of the bridge crew...and because she cares.

bones: What did you do?

chapel: She chased him to the next red light, and reached into his window, and-

you're right I should have called it out and I'm sorry.

Hey OP can we get an apology for making Uhura the aggressive one? Why not chapel?

"It doesn't seem like you felt the pressure yourself, but it felt like other people were sort of putting their hopes and expectations on you. Does that sound right to you? And how did that come out in a way that was not very healthy for you?"
