The Mii Carnival

I've seen a couple posts of people calling/referring to Blue (deltarune) as a Bear or other hyper masculine terms. This is an issue I see a LOT in fandoms, where black characters are hypermasculanized, or their femininity is erased. This sort of characterization is deeply rooted in racism. I don't think that most of these people have ill will when saying these things, but I need to point them out because it is very rampant in fandom spaces in general.

A character being black does not make them masculine. Blue is a very very feminine man, and it makes me very upset to see his femininity be erased in favor of stereotypes and subconscious racism.

There's many other, better sources online, but if you're confused and have never heard of this before, Hypermasculanizing black characters is rooted in systemic racism. It's been a way to strip black people (and especially black women) of their identities and human traits, and reduce them to "violent", "hateful", and "stupid". It's why the "mean black girl" and "dangerous black man" stereotypes came into being. I know that there's more to talk about on this subject, but I'm not the best person to hear it from, and I don't feel comfortable being the only person you're getting this information from.
