black reader discourseā¦
I am quite frankly, very tired of seeing posts complaining about āhoodā Y/Ns and all of you coming out of the woodwork to proclaim that you donāt act this way and itās disgusting to act this way and you hate fics where the reader wears wigs or acrylics or says the N-word and how all of these are just an inaccurate representation of our community. this is just very coon like behavior and is giving pick me.
yall know very well that fics including black women didnāt even exist until very recently. iām grateful for every fic written whether itās bad or good. either way they are contributing to the growth of a very niche community and helping establishing our presence here on this app. iāve been on this app for like 12 years and I remember in the very early days when fics first started including black mcās. no matter how the black mc was represented there would still be people in the mentions/comments like āeww gross you n***** why did you write this?ā or āthis fic is so good but why is she black?ā. we were quite literally fighting for our right to exist on this app.
hood culture is, like it or not, a big part of the black community and itās not all negative. itās a cultural movement that spawned from us being barred from white spaces and seen as the āinferiorā race no matter how we presented ourselves. hood girls deserve to see themselves in fiction just like everyone else. they deserve love without the implication that they need to imitate others/change themselves to seem more ācivilizedā. they arenāt bad people just because you donāt share the same style, vocab, interests and hobbies as they do.
whenever you bring this up you are giving non black people a free pass to insert themselves and say āyes omg so ghettoā. there are enough people against us. i would never help facilitate a conversation which further criticizes our community. especially when itās related to very real people whose experiences you are trying to devalue.
