How do I turn off emotions I'm at settings rn.

Let's take sinners for example. There is a white guy with like 2 lines exclusively about hating minorities in this movie. His name is not Ray, it's Bert (I had to look that up on imdb), he is the kkk-vampire and not a single person on earth is writing self-insert fic about this guy. They are writing self-insert fic about the central antagonist, who is also a vampire. Girls like villains, what else is new.

And sure, maybe I am being to literal here, but yelling at people that they are liking a thing in the wrong way is just the fastest way to kill a fandom. The underlying things this post is pointing at are real and they do exist. Societal beauty standards center white people, a lot of (white) people have are harder time sympathising with people of color. But those things are not fandom problems. They are just general problems of living in white supremacist society and they show up in all facets of or society including fandom. But you are not gonna fix them by telling people they are somehow bad for liking the sexy vampire.

Am I “making up a guy to be mad at” if by your own admission you are a fan of a character that fits the hypothetical scenario that I described in the original post? That you brought up, because I didn’t bring up Sinners (2025).

You admit that societal beauty standards favor white people (an odd thing to bring up), and in turn white people have a harder time sympathizing with people of color (a poor excuse for racism), and yet you think this doesn’t factor into fandom? You think white ppl, from the society that you acknowledge has racist biases, will somehow leave those same prejudices when engaging in fandom? You think that the “real world” is a completely separate vacuum from the art that leads to fandom?

“Girls like villains” a very strange, pointedly projective, and dismissive of the main point of the post: racism. You think women of color like racist villains? Or is it just white women? Because that’s what we’re talking about here: racist characters, specifically. With this line of thinking, you put forth that either the women in a fandom, Sinners (2025) by your example, a predominantly Black led piece of media which centers Black women as they’re integral to the story, should categorically like the “sexy vampire” despite the fact that he’s terrorizing Black people throughout the movie just because he’s the villain. Or you put forth that there are no women of color in the Sinners fandom, which would be an odd thing to think given the previous points.

blue genuinely has so much nuance to him, man. he all but confirms that he doesn't believe in flowery's ideology, but plays his role anyway as a show of love for asgore. he's the one to explain how the petal items work in the pink coin room saying that they know we should have them, and he also says hes okay with dancing for his own sake even is asgore won't see it, and he's the one to heal flowery and kris, and also he is down bad for the cowboy and i love this for him.

say nothing of how he gives us the indicting ribbon and makes us go on trial. my interpretation of this is that he understands we were not malicious in tricking yellow, and also wants to present us with the idea that not all misdeeds are born of malice while also making yellow feel better by letting him be a cowboy finding justice. for integrity, he really has a lot of goddamn ulterior motives!

Can't make a Good Soldier Willing to Die and Returning Home Triumphantly story out of crashout Achilles "I disrespected my direct supervisor to his face in front of the whole army and damned my entire team to die until my boyfriend was murdered, and then I died in battle", Son of Peleus, of The Iliad infamy. Can't inspire white men to respect orders and think war will make Men out of them (and thus money for you) with that 🤣

EVERYBODY knows (or should) that you DO. NOT. STOP. in Vidor, Texas. 

It’s best to just run out of gas elsewhere. Whatever you do, black folks, DO NOT STOP IN VIDOR, TEXAS. 

There’s a good chance you’ll get lynched or just come up missing - and I’m not joking.

also do NOT stop in Harrison, Arkansas!!!! (relatively close to OK and MI) a nazi town with a BIG KKK organization.
