Just Another Face - Modern Baseball

Apologies if this is off topic, but I'm finding it really frustrating how posts like this only go around in response to discussions around racism in regards to these creators. Like I don't know much at all about gooseworx, but I know Toby Fox was very lightly criticized for not having an official spanish translation after 10 years of undertale being out and relying on fans to translate it for him (in the form of fan translations) and the utter disregard that shows for fans that speak spanish

How are we even supposed to have discussions around racism in fandom if it just gets dismissed out of hand to preserve the comfort people have with the material they're fans of.

I'm not sure how to even approach things like this. I don't support dogpiling obviously but people criticize indie creators because they like them and want them to improve and to have conversations about race in fandom. How is that lolcow behavior???

We have had this conversation numerous times by now. You can't force people who want willfully overlook (and contribute to) racism to be reasonable. Just remind yourself that there is no Not Talking About It. That's just tolerating bigotry for the sake of comfort, like you said. It's the Book or the Brick, my friend!

The situation: confront said person and tell them that their behavior is racist, and they-

Book: -make the choice to acknowledge the situation and learn to do better. It's hard, they're upset, but they recognize they have to learn to do better. This person has accepted the book (knowledge and antiracism!)

Brick: -decide to blow up and make excuses and 'theyre not racist' and everyone in the world is blaming them and deflect and blah blah blah... And get hurt when people treat them like the bigot they have chosen to be. This person has chosen the brick (public derision + more!)

These people have chosen the brick, to me. 🤷🏾‍♀️ If they want to defend themselves with "it's lolcow behavior you're chasing people away", let them say that... While you treat them like the bigot they are. Maybe if you think racism is funny, you SHOULDN'T be a creator. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I thought we kicked Nazis out of bars.

if you'd rather buy a plushie - here's the shop he and his wife run!

Migrant homes are being set on fire and people are having to be evacuated into emergency accommodation. With the youngest being a 2 month old baby. It doesn’t stop there either, their cars are being set ablaze and migrant owned businesses are being destroyed.

Schools are sending pupils back home because they’re afraid of more violence breaking out.

It’s just…I don’t even have words for it you know. I do hope the victim is able to heal and get justice for what happened to them.

But it doesn’t warrant this.

Why is it when one white person does something wrong it’s only the individual who gets punished. But if the perpetrator happens to be of the global majority then we’re all punished for it.

It’s not all men but somehow it’s all Black people, all immigrants, all Asians etc.

People are being burned out of their homes and for what? No one whose participating in this violence is doing it cause they care about the victim.

They’re just using a tragedy as fuel for their racist bullshit. It fits their narrative so they’re going to go to town and do what they have always wanted to do.

But now suddenly feel they have a pass for.

If you’re BAME in Belfast I hope things will be okay for you. I hope all the violence dies down and you can rebuild what you’ve lost. God I can’t even say stay indoors anymore because that’s not even safe anymore.

I don’t know how much longer I can keep begging. For days, I have been posting, sharing, and asking for help, hoping that someone would hear my cry. My mother and father are elderly, their health is getting worse, and they urgently need their medication. We still need $477, and time is running out.😔

The Tumblr account I relied on to reach people was deleted, and it felt like another door closing in my face. I am exhausted, scared, and carrying a weight that feels impossible to bear. All I want is to get the medicine my parents need before their condition becomes even worse.💔

If only 19 people donate $25, we can reach the goal. We can do this together. Please don’t scroll away. What may seem like a small amount to you could mean everything to my family 😔💔

I have been pleading for days because I have no other choice. My parents spent their lives loving me, protecting me, and sacrificing for me. Now they need help, and I cannot bear the thought of losing them because I couldn’t afford their medication. Please, from the bottom of my heart, donate if you can and share our story if you cannot. Every minute matters, and every act of kindness brings us one step closer to saving my mother and father 🙏💔😔
